You know I try to be sympathetic because i was lucky enough as a child to loathe Harry Potter with a passion while others grew up with it being their entire world but as some point i need to you people to Get fucking serious and move on. You funded that court decision with your own money

Feels glib posting from thousands of feet in the air but in light of Current Events Back Home, this remains as true now as it did 5 years ago, if not more so

Trans women ARE biologically women and no biased court can stop that basic fact from being true. Sex is a homeostatic property cluster containing an array of primary, secondary, and tertiary sexual characteristics. Trans people can and do change sex

One House Dem called deportations a “soup du jour,” telling @axios.com Trump is “setting a trap for the Democrats, and like usual we're falling for it." “Rather than talking about the tariff policy ... we're going to go take the bait for one hairdresser.” www.axios.com/2025/04/16/d...

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

Kidlit colleagues, just a reminder that JK Rowling funded this challenge over the definition of women at the Supreme Court. Every time you choose to work with her, platform her, take a stance that aligns with her, buy her books, nominate her for more awards, she uses that and funds hate.

Considering the degree to which zoomers grew up online I feel like this divide really illustrates how social media was more of a progressive force in society up until it was forcibly weaponized into a fascist radicalization pipeline a few years later

The news stories are good and important but it is incredibly tiring to read something like “the billionaire mogul refers to his 30 children as ‘Broodkin’ and was recently quoted as saying ‘CHICKEN JOCKEY 😂😂’ at the closing of the national museum of women’s suffrage”

if i was an artist that trafficked almost exclusively in large-scale convention presences and print sales backed by a reputation of "here's how to draw art" i would simply not make a fucking clown of myself by overpainting and photobashing AI from a public server but hey that's just me

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

there was not "intense social pressure" to stop saying 'master bedroom' and 'brown bag lunch,' bffr. If you were a national pundit with millions of readers you would get some annoying twitter replies and emails. Ordinary people with normal jobs were not experiencing this.

you can't have honest conversations on here because the lefty consensus will tell you you can't "make stuff up" or "repeat completely insane lies"

I keep thinking that scholars of 20th century Latin America are probably among the best for understanding the current political situation in the US because Trump is doing to the US what the US did to Latin America throughout the Cold War.

everyone called this, but it's still fucking sad I don't care how insincere rainbow capitalism was, being thought of as a viable demographic and tangible support still meant something

trudeau's liberals paid a massive political price for the Carbon Tax, which was an attempt to lower carbon output by increasing its cost - a normal 'carrot/stick' policy that in economist-brain theory should work great, but people aren't rational and hated it far in excess of its actual amount

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

What I am uncomfortable is not “liberal animus towards Russia”, it’s the fact that Americans see their own fascism as “foreign influence” based on a false mythos of America representing “Freedom”. Fuck Russia.
