“Death of the Author” no longer applies if the author is still using the earnings from their work to actively oppress people. EVERY Hary Potter product ppl consume directly benefits JKR’s cause. Yes, even the games, even the show, even the theme park.

When we tax them at 90%, they dislike paying the TAX, so they put the money in other stuff — building new facilities, employee retention (salaries, raises), philan-trophy, weird obsessions — which all translate into money in other people’s hands. intentional

This took 22 hours because Democrats sought to delay the process as long as they could with hundreds of amendments that Republicans voted against, many of which will come back to haunt them next year. So let’s give House Dems a round of applause for their efforts.

I don't think any single piece of information has ever radicalised me like reading the statistics on how many women have their husbands/boyfriends dump them because they got a terminal illness diagnosis

Daily reminder that Rowling uses the money she gets from Wizarding World stuff to make trans people's lives miserable, including a recent ruling that she financially supported. Do not buy this game. I don't care if Alby Dumblypork is in it and he's your favorite character. It's not worth it.

This is worth reaing & internalizing. Trump projects confidence & inevitability. But, as @lizdye.bsky.social writes: "After weeks of public fulminating, the administration quietly folded and quit trying to steal kids’ lunch money for the grievous sin of letting a couple of trans girls play sports."

So, I know that the Met Gala gives big Hunger Games energy. That analogy is warranted given everything going on in the world. However, I’d like to take a moment to gently remind people that the event really does support artisans, public history, and preservation. It’s not just about celebs.

I just read the order to show cause in the MyPillow guy’s case where his lawyers used generative AI and it did the thing AI always does (assembled words in a certain order without any understanding of sourcing) because you have to take your joy where you find it.

Screaming at these people works. They’re fundamentally wimps, we just have to actually DO the screaming instead of preemptively admitting defeat. I am talking about my fellow Americans, not the Democrats. We actually need to scream, gang, not just complain that Schumer isn’t.

I’ve never understood the protests as a way to influence Trump. I believe they’re important because they’re a way to tell each other that we’re not okay with this. They’re a way to communicate with other Americans and hopefully suppress further normalization of Trumpism in everyday life.

Trump was winning on the economy and immigration just months ago. Now he’s underwater on both. Turns out Americans want lower prices AND a humane immigration system that respects due process. The good news is, Democrats focusing on both is working. We can’t let up.

Frost: I still hold the supreme court is very much skewed to the right… But the fact the court is so skewed to the right even then they are still saying in a unanimous decision that he needs to be brought home shows that should not be a partisan issue

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.
