Much as I enjoyed Spiderman Brand New Day, I also find it funny that people in my ideological camp are more likely to think Chris Nolan has sus politics than the makers of BND. Nolan actually had Batman give control of his spy tech to a man morally opposed to it.

There's a meme going around on YouTube that Zendaya can only make one face. I don't deny she's made that face a lot, but I've seen a lot of variation from her. Solely in Spiderman.

For those wise souls who avoid Facebook, conservatives are implying (in some cases saying) that Iran is a Christian majority country that wants to be conquered by America.

According to attack ads against Sherrod Brown, he supports "forced sex change surgery". When he defends himself, instead of attacking trans people, he should just scream "what the **** does that even mean?"

So, I gotta ask: does anybody actually object to the Dark Sun setting on the basis of it having slavery and bad stuff? Because I keep hearing people say WotC can't do Dark Sun, but I never hear actual people say they shouldn't.

Christians on Facebook are complaining that America isn't taking in persecuted Christian refugees. Hey, bitches, you voted to only allow white people in. Those refugees probably would have had reactionary politics anyways.

So, a Maine court just protected a girl from being forced to attend an abusive church by her mother that expert witnesses testified was a cult. Her father has sole custody. The Religious Right is reacting exactly the way you think they are.

Internet conservatives just tried to fabricate false rape allegations against Dean Withers. Dean has more than his share of leftist critics, so the fact that they didn't even buy it says it all.

There's a claim among Republicans making the rounds that a study "proved" injecting liberals with testosterone made them conservatives. What the claim fails to mention is that only center left men were affected. Leftists were not, which blows that talking point out of the water.

Chaya Raichak just posted on Facebook that white women would destroy America by supporting Sayed in Michigan. Her own data indicated that the most left leaning white female demographic (college educated) was still more conservative than all non white people.

A load bearing mythos of pop leftism is that the Dems used to be good and for the working man and then embraced neoliberalism so the working man got sold out, instead of "white America as a whole turned on the Dems after the Civil Rights Act and began tearing down their own commons and prosperity"

I'll be upfront: I don't know the exact circumstances behind Jake Lang being assaulted, and unless he initiated violence, he should not have been. But any conservative who covers up his professed white supremacy can be ignored.

At the Girl Named Tom concert just now, they sang a song about children in a war zone. They didn't specify, but Caleb said the drum Joshua played was a gift from his father in law, a Palestinian. Given the politics of the area, that took balls.

Coming out as trans convinced me that both things are true because Republicans are stupid and cannot see basic connections between things. They can like every trans person they know, think trans people should be wiped out, and not understand how the trans people they know would be impacted by this.
a post says "Your average Republican is pro-IVF, skeptical of six week heartbeat bills, against deporting productive, law-abiding immigrants, and for gay marriage."

the post quoting it says "your average republican thinks theres kitty litter boxes in classrooms and immigrants are eating your pets. your average republican cares more about a Black actress playing the little mermaid."

There's a YouTube video going around where a Muslim street preacher argues with Posey Parker. On the one hand, KJK is as bad as Rowling. OTOH, the preacher is probably just as viciously reactionary so long as he isn't the victim.

I once said Musk's favorite movie Citizen Vigilant was Birth of a Nation. I was wrong. Prophet of Zod just reviewed BoaN, and it has a black friend. Citizen Vigilant can't even do that. It is the Turner Diaries.

Heads up. Andy Ngo is preparing to release a book on how trans people are all a murder cult that wants to kill Christians. Really. I'm pretty sure he's an atheist grifting off his Christian audience.

On a less culture warsy note, I loved how the Odyssey made numerous references to the Bronze Age collapse, as well as tales of the "sea people". I wondered if Nolan was going to say "surprise, it's the Deep Ones from Lovecraft!", but instead he revealed that the call was coming from inside the house

So, I just watched the Odyssey, and it turns out that Elliot Page IS playing Achilles. Kinda. So, his character Sinon only appears in a single scene in the Aeneid (by a much later Roman author), but in the Odyssey film he appears in Hades, and Odysseus uses his name as a disguise.

Isaac Asimov once wrote a cosmic horror story called Nightfall which revolved around a cosmic event causing civilization to collapse every few centuries. On the eve of the event, some scientists are discussing why people go mad, and an occult text is brought up.

I'm gonna say on Platner...I am not going to extrapolate all that I have seen others on *everyone* that believed in what he was campaigning on and that he may have changed from his prior beliefs. It does happen, yet sometimes we make a bad call. What's important is owning up to when that happens.

One argument I often hear from people I otherwise agree with is "antifa is just against fascism", and I feel that is dishonest. Conservatives and liberals are not fascists, but you never associate "antifa" with them. Social democrats occasionally, but not often.

Every now and then, you see conservatives whining that leftists are "unpatriotic". Most conservatives on Facebook: - are huge fans of the recent Birth of a Nation remake about Muslims and want it to be real - also insist that they specifically are the true embodiment of America

I think the best thing Platner could do is disappear off the face of the Earth, and I've felt that before he won the primary. I've only heard one good argument in favor of him, and even that argument isn't so much in his favor as it is against liberals.

From Facebook. Who the hell is "they"? Muslims? Because Muslims are a tiny minority in white countries. And given that conservatives are increasingly cool with racism (furor over the SIKH stabber), who is this supposed to appeal to?

People in blue states and in blue areas in red states need to fully recognize the malice and contempt red state and red area whites have for them. The overt malice is more clear than ever. Even as your tax dollars subsidize so much they take for granted they look down on you. Arrogant to their core.

I'll be running another session of Tomb of Annihilation Friday. I was caught off guard when my party bought a canoe in Port Nyanzaru. I mean, it's in the book as an option, I just never considered it. Probably because while the canoe is faster, they'll have to abandon it after Fort Vengeance.

Traditionally, political violence has been higher on the right. That has changed after Trump was reelected, but not from the left being more violent. Rather, right wing extremism is state policy, so if a right wing extremist wants to hurt people, they can join ICE.

Heads up on what conservatives are mad about today. A gay couple has an infant son and he cried while making sounds that had the "muh" syllable, so conservatives have concluded that the baby wants his mother and agrees with the Bible that gays need to be punished for drinking the blood of children.
