It's so funny that even Florida, after five days of Andrew Tate living there, is like "you're going to jail buddy"

And to be so very clear, JKR has openly stated that the money she makes from Harry Potter (in all its forms, right now) goes directly to conservative and specifically anti-trans causes. Do not financially engage with Harry Potter. Don't even engage with it for free. It's a Faustian IP, do not.

Gay actor Jonathan Bailey and pop star Jessie Ware are urging parents to be LGBTQ+ allies, as part of a charity drive aimed at combatting the rise in anti-queer rhetoric. www.thepinknews.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

300+ leading historians and scholars of gender and sexuality respond to Trump admin's removal of references to transgender people from the National Stonewall Monument. This action "is unfounded in historical fact and distorts the legacy" of Stonewall: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The Supreme Court's first and only opinion today is San Francisco v. EPA. The majority substantially weakens the Clean Water Act's limitations on raw sewage discharge. It is 5–4 in relevant part, with Barrett, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissenting. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Reminder: the budgets of most French/European animated features are under $10 million. Not independent films. It's just that, as in other countries, they cost much less than in the U.S. www.catsuka.com/news/2025-03...

In other news: this is an interactive map of the strikes in higher education in the Netherlands the next weeks. The strikes are against draconian, shortsighted research and higher ed cuts 🟥 📅 University of Amsterdam @uva.nl: March 17. @woinactie.bsky.social woinactie.blogspot.com/p/stakingen-...

As the United States launches an imperialist trade war against Canada and Mexico, it’s time for countries to come together to form an alliance against the US — and that includes rapidly curtailing their dependence on Silicon Valley. The US can’t be allowed to get away with this.

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Instagram wanting to spinoff Reels is an opportunistic move, sure, but it's also a conversation that other media companies will have to make as they look to either consolidate or expand. It's a conversation of complementary formats versus contradictory needs. Everything is data.

Harrison, whose plasma contained a rare antibody, rolled up his sleeve 1,173 times from 1954 to 2018. The Australian is credited with helping 2.4 million babies and advancing scientific research.

Reminder: 1. 20% China tariff impacts video game consoles, smartphones, GPUs, laptops etc. 2. 25% tariff on Mexico impacts physical video games. China is where most hardware continue to be manufactured, same for Mexico with discs. Despite mitigation efforts, US gamers may end up paying more.

Very small piece of all this, but it wouldn't surprise me to see physical games that would be subject to tariffs simply not get made, with pubs moving to an all digital strategy. What a mess.

“Developed by Senam Games, the project (Al-Sirah) seeks to create an educational and engaging experience set in the historically inspired cities of Mecca and Medina from 1,400 years ago.” Thank you for covering this IGN ME.

I don’t understand why people are complaining about the cost of spoons when they’ve already got one in their head that they’re not even using.

Hey, you! Stop scrolling, click over to Discord for a second, and tell your favorite indie designer about the Tabletop Arts Fund! We've got two weeks to go before grant applications close, and they're going to be really disappointed if they missed their chance to apply.

ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh. This would be good comedy if it didn't matter so much www.propublica.org/article/ted-...

Not going to end well. 😬 “The wealthiest 10% of American households—those making more than $250,000 a year, roughly—are now responsible for half of all US consumer spending and at least a third of the country’s gross domestic product.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Newsletter: Microsoft pulled back on over a gigawatt of planned data center capacity, suggesting that they do not think there is a growth future in generative AI. Meanwhile, SoftBank, the only company that can afford to fund OpenAI, has to take out loans to do so. www.wheresyoured.at/power-cut/

Happy birthday to Hirokazu Koyama on March 4! As Type-Moon's chief graphic artist, he was involved in Kagetsu Tohya, Melty Blood, Fate/Stay Night, and other series. He was the illustrator for DDD and Mahoyo and designed various Fate weapons, Noble Phantasms, and Servants.

Looks like it's time to uninstall Google Chrome.

before trans participation in sports was banned in utah in 2022: • 4/75,000 school athletes were trans • 1/75,000 was a trans girl not that it’s ever been about sports or numbers and not that the number matters even a little but tuberville’s bullshit is *so* outrageously untrue.

I truly cannot think of a more perfect showcase of how the Democratic Party as a whole has addressed trans issues. Lashing out and disregarding an actual real politically engaged constituent in order to court some fictional voter who likes all of the bigotry of Republicans but will instead vote Dem

Elon Musk appears to be wearing a SafeLife-style level 3+ concealable kevlar vest under his shirt. That's why his looks this way. He is terrified and in fear for his life.

bathroom bills were considered a hugely bigoted overreach a decade ago and the backsliding on trans rights is the result of a sustained propaganda campaign by elites the pendulum can swing back the other way if you try, and anyone who is not willing to do so is showcasing their own bigotry

🚨BREAKING: Trump halts all military aid to Ukraine [BLOOMBERG] The move will also include stopping all aid currently in transit to help Ukraine At this point, Trump might as well arm the Russians. An historic betrayal.

A reminder that out of 520,000 athletes in the NCAA there are 10 known, out transgender athletes. This was never about protecting women's sports.

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

The DOGE-mandated credit card freeze is delaying shipments of critical supplies, stalling travel, and stopping employees from doing their jobs.

"The Philadelphia School District has announced that it will not follow an executive order from Donald Trump, and that it will instead continue to allow transgender athletes to compete on teams that align with their gender identity."

President Trump warned international students that if they support groups the U.S. deems terrorist organizations, "we will find you, and we will deport you." It's left many student activists anxious.

There's an unelected billionaire wielding unconstitutional power, whose fraud-backed paper wealth is profoundly vulnerable to our collective power. Tesla provides a uniquely powerful lever that we can all apply pressure to in our own way. If we focus here, big things are possible. #TeslaTakedown

I wish I could repost this a bunch of times for emphasis. The way society is ignoring long covid - and government is defunding support for long covid - is maddening. And then they ask "why are more ppl on disability benefits"? I WONDER COULD IT BE THE MASS DISABLING PANDEMIC?

Since Western news is not covering it: Israel has now openly stated it is continuing its genocidal starvation policy in Gaza, while the concentration camp population is in the middle of Ramadan. Israel won't stop murdering until every child & adult in Gaza is dead. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

it is so sad that the academy has not yet gotten over the 1-inch tall barrier of subtitles. i'm still here deserved best picture and only ignorance can explain otherwise.

Elon Musk probably doesn't understand the significance of this. Donald Trump definitely doesn't understand the significance of this. But the public knows weird when it sees it, & the public doesn't like weird. The public doesn't like Elon. So I hope Trump keeps embracing him.
