The push for Harry Potter the TV show is going to be completely enormous—they're debuting it on fucking Christmas—and it is the responsibility of TV critics to contextualize this as rewarding the world's most transphobic billionaire (which is saying something) in everything we write about it.

As the PR for the new show putting money in the pockets of the shitty wizard lady heats up, just remember: Everything every person has been coached by PR to say is total bullshit and we can call it that. Will tap the sign again, and will do so many more times this fall: bsky.app/profile/mory...

This post just popped up on my Facebook from a page with tens of thousands of followers. Behind the black box are the names of 10 children the OP is alleging to be trans. The post also include photos of all 10 children, and the name of the schools they attend. They’re now doxxing minors.

Here are some of the recent trans-identified BOYS competing in GIRLS' high school sports in California.
@CIFState doesn't keep any records on the number of boys who are competing on girls' teams. I only became aware of the 3 boys at [CENSORED] High School after I asked parent friends if their daughters were being impacted by this insane transgender ideology.

I cannot stress this enough - the side claiming to “protect children” are now posting the names of children they claim to be trans, photos of those children to help people identify them, and the name of the school they attend. It is impossible to overstate the level of danger for these children.

So I’ve sifted through that whole “Dobby Grave Powerline” story going around and this is what I’ve pieced together: 1. The area was already a conservation site they could put the line anyway. 2. An internal joke about Potter fans got reported as true. 3. Potter fans are defacing protected land.

Domestic abuse and rape represent the rejection of camaraderie, love, principle, and human dignity in favor of brute domination of the weak by the strong, and in that sense it is the paradigm of the MAGA ethos.

In the late '90s, Time Magazine wondered if Ally McBeal killed feminism. It didn't, but the popular and divisive show did inspire a ton of Discourse. Let's talk about it! gossip-reading-club.ghost.io/single-femal...

A feminist movement that tells women to decenter the male gaze is not a movement that tells women to be ashamed of being sexually attracted to men. It's a movement that says shoot the patriarch in your mind and stop making every decision based on whether men will approve. Two different things.

But again, it's young women who are the most pro-choice demographic. That's why conservatives are pushing so hard on the tradwife bullshit, why they're stripping sex ed from schools, and why they're passing 'Baby Olivia' laws that mandate anti-abortion propaganda videos in elementary schools

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case
Judge Breyer: Okay. Thank you very much. Juror 96, I think that you also have strong views. Could you set them aside?

Juror 96: I believe that in a criminal trial, I would feel morally obligated to convict. However, in a civil trial, I feel I can set those views aside.

Judge Breyer: That’s interesting.

Juror 96: I’m happy to expand.

Judge Breyer: Sure.

Juror 96: I believe it would be to the benefit of the human race were Mr. Musk to be sent to prison. However, I don’t believe a loss of several hundreds of millions of dollars in a civil trial would be even a drop in the bucket to his wealth, so it doesn’t really matter. Therefore, I would be able to consider the facts.

To be a person of no consequence, to speak without power, is a bewilderingly awful condition, as though you were a ghost, a beast, as though words died in your mouth, as though sound no longer traveled. It is almost worse to say something and have it not matter than to be silent.

An article from The Guardian:

‘She’s opening the bees!’ US beekeeper jailed for trying to save friend from eviction

Massachusetts woman set swarms of insects on sheriff’s deputies attempting to evict elderly man with cancer

A beekeeper has been jailed for six months after she set swarms of her insects on sheriff’s deputies attempting to carry out an eviction at a friend’s house.

Rebecca Woods insisted she only released her truckload of hives to allow the bees to enjoy the “lovely, flowering landscape” near the home of an elderly friend and cancer patient.

But a district court in Springfield, Massachusetts, heard that Woods, 59, admitted under questioning that she was trying to save him from eviction by freeing the bees in the presence of the deputies who had shown up to serve papers.
