Yknow what? I’ve been sitting on this for a decade because I’m not into punching laterally but I AM FINE with punching far right lunatics. Just a handful of short weeks before GamerGate started, Briana Wu, who I spoke to 0 times before this, sends me this *wild* ass email. 🧵

In retrospect, my downfall began here

Another “preorder this little book that is too cool for a Pride release date” (THE NEW LESBIAN PULP) review. Courtesy @therumpus.net.

"transactional moves and managing rot" vs. "get some guts and do something interesting" is not just a point about media strategies in the current landscape, obvs.

Andrew Cuomo's defeat in yesterday's primary could have a chilling effect on future disgraced sex offenders' ability to run for elected office.

The mood in the air is people getting tired of the same old shit being fed to them.

“Immigration is letting anarchists take over New York City” bro what year is it. How are Sacco and Vanzetti doing

15 year old Amuro in the cockpit, going over the instruction manual once again: “Ahh okay so this is how you manage to to use your shield, neat!” Average Zeon grunt:

You ever laugh so hard seeing something that you choke on your own tongue

So I keep kinda turning this over, and I am not quoting to dunk (apologies to Luna), but it actually adds a lot to Kycellia, I think. Kycellia, as a queer coded character, flouts a lot gender roles, but even queer people can desire parenthood.

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

Don't matter if you liked GQuuuuuuX or hated GQuuuuuuX. You are still gonna see Shiiko Sugai on your feed with progressively bigger honkers for years to come.

A terrible comic about terrible popcorn haha

A song from Coldplay's first album just hit the Hot 100, in case you're wondering how the quest for new hits is going.

zohran mamdani needs to win so rent will be stable enough that a circle of artists living in queens can cook up 50 episode slow burn yuri with the enemy mech pilot

the next gundam anime will be a 6-episode adaptation of Around Thirty Office Worker Haman-sama that inexplicably is directed by Masaaki Yuasa

Which way western Democrat?

I donate monthly to Kat Abughazaleh's campaign because she's real progressive. And a wrestling fan! #AEW

After 12 episodes of Gquuux, my plea is still the same. Khara, please give us Gquuux-timeline Sayla story. I really, really want to know how all this happened.

My sister in law campaigned for Zohran years back, and then I met him at AEW Grand Slam and he was such a great guy. To now see him doing what he’s doing is truly wild. He’s genuine and real and wants to help NY sincerely. Vote for him

So my knee-jerk reaction to the Gquuux finale is that it is mostly excellent, except for that one snippet where probably broke the fandom for a single line read.

Akai means red. Char means Casval. Or Eduaord. Or Quattro. Or Shirouzu. Or...

If your law is good when there are good people in office, but dangerous when there are bad people in office, your law is bad.

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations. He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

JD Vance made his first big speech all about the need for European free speech, and now a Norwegian is banned from America because of this pic.
