When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

I’d love to know who decided to make the creative choices that they made in DBS: Beerus. It’s already strange that they are animating this story arc for a third time, but this time they’ve removed so much of the humor and personality Toriyama brought to the table in favor of more aura farming.

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

Make take? You Can See Everything is both good art but also a waste of time. You can’t understand pathological liars, narcissists and sociopaths because they are wired differently than you. You just have to understand that’s what they are and move on.

There's something incredibly disrespectful about still having an ongoing podcast called "The Charlie Kirk Show" hosted by different people now, but it isn't surprising considering that whole party wing has done nothing but exploit his corpse in the name of opportunism.

As someone who lived in MA when they had placed a billionaire tax. They didn't leave and now they have free community college and breakfast and lunch for kids. Vote YES to Prop 40.

New SEC filings show that Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to pay California’s billionaire tax without losing control of Meta. So billionaires can afford to pay the tax? And they won't lose control of their companies or flee the state? Don’t fall for billionaires’ propaganda. Vote YES on Prop 40.

One of the funniest mental language roadblocks to me is how English speaking people will default numbers to English, even if they are surrounded by another language. I don’t know if this is common in other languages.

One of the really fascinating things about Charlie Kirk is that his own people’s response to his death was so nakedly opportunistic that it’s like oh, ok, this guy is fair game for literally anything, he’s an object, and now his soul is trapped inside Grok for eternity.

Struggling to engage with the concept of “father and son Republican operatives Timmy and Tommy Teepell.” Come on man can even one thing be like 5% less stupid

But hey, if you push through and beat the odds and become a one-in-a-million success story, you too might one day have a throng of fans tweeting at you to kill yourself

a cool thing about indie animation is that it's expected to save the entire industry, every show has to look better than the things the fans grew up on or it's a waste of time, there's no union to be found anywhere, no budget for any of it, and asking the audience to pay anything to watch is illegal

AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

Californians take note! Vote yes on the Billionaire Tax (Prop 40), and no on 41 & 42

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

I just feel like if any female writer/director directed multiple pretty expensive dramas where the directing was painfully, painfully bad, she would not be considered a genius and keep getting work.

"Before we shoot this man to death, we're gonna read some superchats."

the morality of the livestreamed execution side of thing is obviously heinous, but I'm also curious re: the logsitic pandora's box that's gonna open in terms of "who is hosting it? are posting links allowed? are these chuds going to attempt to vibecode their own streaming platform by december?"
