I don't think it's exaggeration to say this specific book series changed my young life and I wouldn't be who I am today without it. *pulls out a foam finger that says Mara Jade is #1*

Yikes, you have to decide whether she just did this on purpose, or if she used an LLM that hallucinated it. Not a single good option in the room.
A screenshot of a portion of the article in the quoted post. It reads:

Her litany of errors in 2026 includes deadnaming and misgendering a competing trans journalist who broke a story for one of her competitors! This was seven months ago, and the deadname is still up as of writing. 

This wasn’t just any story. It was Nate Zuke’s first article that we can find. Many of you have already read it: ‘She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway.’

It was excellent reporting; arguably one of the most important trans news stories written by a trans journalist this year. 

And it was Erin Reed who deadnamed him to her audience of hundreds of thousands.

Gently grabbing my fellow trans men by the face and reminding them that a woman reacting to news about a woman who was raped by mentioning that tons of women have been raped is NOT the same as saying only women have been raped and is NOT erasing rape victims of other genders. Take a breath.

Millennials are finally getting old enough to feel like 20 years is actually 84 years (and we're real mad about it apparently). Congratulations to us on this key milestone :D

You have to wait until the sixth paragraph of this piece before you learn, in the New York Times reporting on the murder of THEIR OWN EMPLOYEE, that the victim was a trans man who had been abused for being trans by the in-laws who murdered him. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/u...

I think it's finally time for them to add all the MSQ capstone dungeons/trials to MSQ roulette. I'm glad we can be bullied into helping people through the end of ARR, but we ought to be bullied into helping people through the end of all the other expansions too.

Triggering fond memories of my youth when I tried to be "helpful" playing NHL 94 with my older brother by repeatedly cross-checking the goalie at full tilt. My brother had to turn off penalties.

A screenshot from Elder Scrolls Online showing the words "skyshard absorbed." Below the text are two rocks side by side. Behind the two rocks, nestled between them, is a skyshard sticking out the ground. The placement of the rocks and skyshard makes them look like a dick and balls.

A screenshot of some FFXIV dialogue from a quest that was removed from the game.
Yda says: Hmm... Too easy... A-HA! Why don't you tell us what you think of F'lhaminn?
Thancred says: ...Truly? You would have me speak of the Songstress of Ul'dah? As you will. She is as an exquisite rose that withers not with the passing of years─
Y'shtola says: Charming as ever. I daresay you are perpetually beset upon all sides by swooning beauties...?
Thancred says: Please, Y'shtola─I do not seek to make them swoon. Poetry rises unbidden to my lips when I behold a maiden's fair countenance. 'Tis the curse of my minstrel blood.
Y'shtola says: Enough. If this is not the real Thancred, then I believe we have found a suitable replacement.

All this talk about Narnia reminds me of how long I thought Turkish Delight was a fake thing made up for The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. For so many years. Then I saw it in a grocery store and was like WAIT THIS IS A REAL THING??? Fellas, I had such a sheltered and boring childhood.
