i've been a daily newspaper reader most of my adult life but ditching the post and replacing it with defector, 404 media, the verge, the 51st, washington city paper, the new yorker and a handful of independent writers has been an adequate substitute. bit harder to manage it all, though

at some point you realize most of the "using references is cheating, using models is cheating, using program tools is cheating, photobashing is cheat" propaganda comes from insecure people who have made skill ubiquitous with suffering. and without it, they find little worth in the work they make.

Tryin' to imagine makin' a billion dollars scribblin' about baby wizards and whatnot, then sittin' in my castle, rage-tweetin' at trans people all day. Guuurl you won at life. It's cool to just sign out and take everyone your ass has ever known to Wingstop.

"Stop romanticizing toxic tropes in fiction" Bro literally never heard of 'Romanticism' (1790 - c. 1850) and how it's a deliberate rejection of order, harmony, balance, and rationality and celebrates the irrational, personal, emotional, weird, occult, and monstrous by design, how embarrassing 😞

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M. Beautiful.

Leftists who don’t care about the war on porn should look closer. Obscenity laws are the first step in banning ALL “degenerate” art. They are already saying that drag queens and trans people are sex predators. That queer books are porn. They are priming the people to lump it all together!!

seeing a lot of folks talking about how conservative "pornography" bans are a pretense/prelude to targeting any & all queer or trans art, which is absolutely true also: banning & criminalizing actual honest-to-god porn is fascist in itself. say that too!

I'm noticing a lot of young ostensibly "leftist" ppl online enjoy the window dressing of feeling like they're a main character in a cool rebellious Hunger Games, Star Wars style story but then their actual energy is of a 1990s mom against D&D and video games

can't fathom how fandom can even keep Fandoming when we have actual serious things going on in the US. icky ships should be extremely low on the totem pole for any serious person dwelling on US soil, those are fake problems

I see things like "but we have so much media that depicts Nazis as the bad guy" and I'm just sitting here thinking... I think we storytellers vastly overestimate how much fiction can influence people. Like stories are important but the message will be lost on many people.

the republicans are so sad that every single subreddit of value has stood up and decided to ban x links bc musk is a nazi even small things can completely ruin the day of these whiny fuckers.
