Somehow, and follow me here, somehow Branson is able to infuse this arc and maybe even the character Noel himself, with the same chemical composition of the initial teaser trailer for "You Can See Everything". (This is perhaps the highest form of compliment)

honestly the most depressing thing to me is that we have to talk about this again and again and again and again and again. how to teach men to have human feelings, how to get people to believe us

Dressmaker is exactly what you would expect from the name, and it's so delightful that I'm spending hours each night in this tailor simulator www.rogue.site/editorials/d...

I cannot stop creating beautiful garments in Dressmaker, a stunning tailor sim
Dressmaker is a simple concept done so well, it's one of my games of the year.

The Trump White House official app is fraught with trackers. The White House app covertly collects excessive user data and shares it with third-party trackers while sidestepping federal security rules. For example, the app includes scripts to monitor a user's location several times per minute.

White House Drove Users to Official App Fraught With Trackers
The White House app became the App Store’s most downloaded news app after the president barred three news outlets.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Can you just not put slow-acting poison on the ballot? Do I have to ask if slow-acting poison is on the ballot before a primary? Because I have no problem asking. But you better not lie.

This is a very good point and the thing to understand is that’s not what’s happening on either side. The republicans are identifying all the people they want to target for degradation and a repeal of their civil rights. The democrats are giving a list of who they’re okay to do that to.

'attack a minority who typically vote for us, piss off our own base, & just hope we attract more voters across the aisle than we lose' is a risky galaxy-brain tactic to try when there's 'record high fuel prices' sitting right there. but they know this, of course. they simply don't want progress

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

I assume anyone who points out how small the trans population is doesn’t know any trans people & I guess that’s what it takes to care? Because if you know even ONE trans person, like a person in your life, how can you think about that person and conclude it’s okay if they get thrown under the bus?
