[a satirical Chicago CTA transit map showing a giant red circular train line extending high into the sky, deep into the earth's mantle, and through Lake Michigan.]

"CTA Unveils New Circle Line Design: New line takes advantage of newly discovered third dimension.

Stations along the route include the Jane Byrne Interchange, Sears Tower Skydeck, Bean Access via Structural Firepole, Wreck of the Silver Spray, Future Stadium of Upper Mantle Bears, Hole, and Lowest Known Wacker Drive.

Additional diagram notes indicate that the train is shown to scale, Navy Pier is intentionally ignored, the color red was chosen for the line to confuse tourists, and highlights the Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Sedementary Divide."

we live in a world where "humanity is rotten to the core" is a more tolerable idea than "capitalism is kinda busted" but what I love about "capitalism is kinda busted" is realizing every good thing that happens is in spite of capitalism because humans are that committed to doing good things

It's some real "when you expose a problem you pose a problem" stuff tbh. Trans people stating that they won't vote for transphobic candidates become identified with the problem of that candidate losing.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

What I’m seeing is: being very vocal about the damage thar hateful bigot worm person JK Rowling has done to the world in her pursuit of eradicating trans people is damaging the Harry Potter brand. So definitely keep doing that.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: an alien is sitting behind the wheel of a sedan with the window rolled down. He looks over at another car and says, “is this guy for real?” Panel 2: a second alien is stopped at the light next to the first alien. He is sitting behind the wheel of an enormous pickup truck with hover wheels. The truck is absolutely decked out in crazy hyper-macho patriotic stickers and flags, like an alien punisher skull, a flag sticker that reads “We the Bleeple”, and a bumper sticker that reads, “offended? GLOOP.”

Gurren Lagann is correct about its central conceit that the entirety of the power of the human spirit is ignited at the intersection of hope, belief, faith & trust. And that despair not only limits imagination but is also a spiritual death that leaves us helpless when facing humanity’s adversaries.

Nine anti-ICE protesters were sentenced to 30 to 100 years in prison on Tuesday on terrorism charges. The maximum sentences prosecutors sought in the case stand in stark contrast to the treatment of January 6 rioters, says Sufia Khalid, who represented one of the defendants, Maricela Rueda.

It's exactly like our current political situation: things *are* bad, but they're bad because the rich get richer and we're investing in bombs over babies, not because Black people have jobs or trans folks exist. It's about distraction and deflection, and people keep falling for it.

Real good bit about the slippery slope of genAI use. A battle we're already fighting, especially against the C-suite.
Text clip from the Harvard Gazette article: 

He continued, “Whatever your chosen profession is, please don’t let AI rob you of the fun part of it. Your generation’s upcoming battle won’t be humans against AI; that’s at least two months away. … It’s going to be people with substance versus people with shallow knowledge. It’s going to be mastery versus faking it. It’s going to be people with good taste versus tacky. I trust you will put in the work necessary to be on the right side of those battles.”

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...
In a Public Notice released on April 22, 2026, the FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to "transgender and gender non-binary programming" and "the discussion or promotion of gender identity themes."

there's always this weird asymmetry where a thing (like AI in this case) causes substantial, material harm with almost no checks on its power but the backlash to it is expected to adhere to some neutral debate format in the "marketplace of ideas" where even being annoyed by it is seen as irrational

This is my trans agenda
The most effective way to prevent trans adults is to eliminate trans children. The far right understands this, so the focus of its anti-trans strategy is to create an unlivable environment for trans children. Trans people also fully understand this. The democrats and mushy center don't understand it and react as if it's just reasonable "adult" things like transgenderism be kept out of schools and kids' media. They act as if those kids aren't trans already, in the schools alreadyTrans people are a wedge. Attacking gays stopped working, so Republicans attack trans people to get at gays. Trans minors are the wedge of the wedge. They pick on the subgroup that can't defend themselves and which Democrats are least likely to stand up for

To Democrats, this is a reasonable "compromise". Let go on the trans children, focus on the more winnable rights for trans adults.

For trans adults this is obviously, axiomatically unacceptable because *we are all ex-children*. Anything done to children is something that was done to our past selvesSomewhere right now there is a ten-year-old child who is, for all practical purposes, me. She is experiencing something she cannot explain or yet understand. She is in an unfriendly environment (Texas? Alberta?) that does not help her understand, punishes her when she tries to figure it out herself.When I see trans children being legislated away, I think: I care more about what happens to this child than what happens to me. I want her to reach forty-one without being broken and damaged, like I am from all the things cis people did to me. I want the next me to have a better life than this one.
