Why would a man pretend to be trans to endanger a woman when he could just join a frat?

Since we live in an insane timeline where it's controversial to even *acknowledge* that certain ethnic groups exist, I've been nervous about reading books about Palestine at work. But then I remember most of my coworkers haven't willingly opened a book since high school and probably won't notice 🤷🏽‍♂️

Women have been sounding the alarm on this for decades. Now we have a widely-publicized case that is impossible to ignore, and legacy media are scrambling to paint is as some new, recent phenomenon and not the endemic, structural problem it's always been.

22 years late to the party but last night I finally watched Saw. What a letdown. I had spent the last two decades hearing what a twisted, gruesome, sick movie it was ("torture porn") but the reality was far more boring.

I dunno, I kinda feel like they have to release Christa Pike now. They sentenced her to execution, and then they executed her. It's not her fault it didn't stick 🤷🏽‍♂️

The only country I can recall facing consequences for genocide since the UN's foundation is Serbia, for crimes they committed against Bosnians—who are, incidentally, Europeans, even if they are from a poorer part of Europe.

Saw Resident Evil. It ruled! But why on Earth does Cineplex charge $21/ticket+$5 "eat shit" fee, and then at showtime, shows us TEN MINUTES of ads for banks, Coca Cola, sports betting, etc.? Why do we talk about dwindling ticket sales but not the enshittification of the theatre experience?

I know that "Free Palestine" isn't antisemitic because if it were, America's racist oligarch class would be tripping over itself to defend your right to say it 🤷🏽‍♂️

I used to date a hardcore conspiracy theorist who managed to even get me on board with some of her BS. These days, I firmly believe most of that stuff is nonsense propagated by a real lack of critical thinking skills. However…

I have seen a couple of accusations that the new James Patterson/MrBeast novel is full of AI slop. I wonder if this will impact them in any way or if it will prove true that we only kill the careers of writers of colour over AI suspicions 🤔

Not saying it would be on the level of a professionally-designed cover, but if you have even a passing familiarity with Photoshop or Gimp and know how to find royalty-free stock photos, you could make a better cover than AI could even if you lack design experience.

Living through yet another Ridley Scott crash out. Remember a few years ago when he threw a shit fit because no one wanted to see his movie, The Last Duel? Well now, after launching yet another critical flop, he's lashing out at Fede Álvarez's direction of Alien: Romulus, aka the 3rd best Alien.

Do you ever begin to suspect that sweeping changes are being made to the systems you rely on at work, not to make things easier or more efficient or more profitable, but so that some middle manager who makes three times what you do can justify their paycheck?

Whenever I hear anyone complain about how art and media seems to no longer cater solely to the white heterosexual man, I think back on all the times people called me a f*ggot for wanting to go into the arts as a kid. Probably unrelated though.

Getting older is so rad! In 2016 my idea of being "naughty" on my lunch break was getting an alcoholic beverage with my lunch. In 2026, being "naughty" means getting KFC because I am supposed to be watching my salt intake due to my blood pressure

When I say crime is a social construct I mean that if I poisoned a town's drinking water and forced everyone to pay my electricity bill, I would be sent to prison, but when AI companies do it it's apparently legally all good

Related to my thread on AI accusations; it's troubling how quickly genuine concerns can get twisted into a tool for exclusion and creating a two-tiered mob justice system where the burden of proof is always on whoever holds the least power.

It is not lost on me that so far every writer that has been at the center of a major AI controversy has been Black or PoC, and the only evidence is the results of an AI-detection tool that is, itself, AI-powered. While Pangram boasts that its false-positive rate is something like 1 in 24,000...

Sadly all the normal Harry Potter fans dropped it when the transphobia started, now all that's left are the creepy little freaks who send death threats over a tweet or get a powerline moved to pass over a bronze age burial site rather than a fake grave for a fictional character
