Pod Save America brought on Bill Maher to spew easily disproven anti-trans talking points. They keep saying they’re not anti-trans and trying to walk back statements they make. I have offered to go on their show to talk. I’m offering again now. Talk to a freaking trans person.

Is it even possible for a game to fail in this age, and the knee-jerk response is not to blame consumers and shame them for not making a success? Like, I get there's such a thing as toxic "fans" attacking your project for not being precisely what they want, but there's by logic an inverse to that.

At least 20 FDA staffers reviewing Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain implant company, were fired in an ongoing DOGE purge of federal workers.

This is an absolute scandal. Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States. As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

What's absolutely maddening about this moment is that media refuses to pay attention to Musk and Vance's neo-Nazi connections because they feel like it's unserious Twitter stuff... except, Musk and Vance take it so seriously they're putting these people in charge of the entire US government

Respectfully, everyone I know who keeps saying that “see, now trump is worse for Palestine, you idiots cost us the election!” Never speak to me again, please. It’s clear that you weren’t listening to Palestinians anyway, who keep explaining this is business as usual, just different framing Fuck off

Do you ever feel the urge to seek out the toxic segment of a community you're in and pick a fight because you just thought of a really strong case for an argument you're not having at the moment

It's after midnight on a Friday, the new Godzilla movie that dropped this year is on the TV, I'm shiny hunting for Regice, and my girlfriend is concocting elaborate murders in the Sims 4. Ten years passed and the only thing that's changed is the dog got fat.

So I’ve had my 1st Black History Month event cancellation because of “DEI concerns,” citing a fear of frivolous suits. Funny thing is, I don’t do DEI, I’m a historian of the Black American experience. A reminder that DEI is just a dog whistle about suppressing history, if you need a reminder.

Monstrous racist fascist. Call your local reps, especially your governor and mayor, and tell them NOT to cooperate with Trump's illegal deportation plans. Find your governor here: www.usa.gov/state-governor

#SequentialSaturdays Here's a favorite four-page sequence from my graphic novel ENTER THE BLUE. I love this book so much--if you haven't read it, definitely pick up a copy ASAP. Read alt-text for context if you want, but no worries.

You're not going to be able to develop a highly informed, nuanced take on every conflict in the world, but I'll give you a good heuristic Always, in every circumstance, be opposed to the wanton slaughter of civilians, no matter what elaborate excuses folks throw up about why this time is different

Been helping my friend proofread their fanfic, and it's got me itching to write again. Here's hoping Microsoft Office still hasn't locked me out for not paying the last six years.

Saddens me deeply to report that Roy Haynes died this morning, at 99. One of the greatest ever to pick up a pair of sticks, and one of the last OG heroes of modern jazz. I wrote his obit for the NYT — here's a gift link 🔗
