@people.com won’t be stopped, and my praise for them will be evergreen:

There's no pretense left. J. K. Rowling made her hate for trans women clear in a slur-filled screed slurring them a dozen times and describing them as deceitful and dangerous. So writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social this morning on Assigned Media. *WARNING: Article quotes Rowling's hateful language.*

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

“We all bet we’d get to destroy the Amazon and workers‘ rights, our shareholders are furious“

I don’t think this is exactly what’s going on, or all that’s going on. It’s not that Republicans are constructing an elaborate psychological defense against evidence that Trump is a rapist. It’s that they like that he’s a rapist, and they like rape: it enacts the power of the strong over the weak.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

It really sucks to see that these dumb asshole AI stans now use AI all the fucking time for all this dumb shit that a couple of years ago they did just fine on their own, even though AI isn’t faster, more accurate, or even all that helpful, it’s just that they’re now lazier and much more stupid.

Lloyd became a man who regretted choosing a career where he doesn’t sell anything, buy anything, or process anything, or sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed…

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Halloween Approaches!

Did they pull that Microsoft Copilot commercial where the mediocre loser white guy uses GenAI to steal his POC coworker’s work, and then acts like the he’s awesome for doing that, because they finally realized how fucked up that is? I’m watching Monday Night Football and they haven’t run it yet.

it feels truly insane that it’s not

Another person has died in ICE custody — this is the 28th known death this year. The cruelty of this rogue agency is beyond unconscionable. Abolish ICE.

It's funny how the Defenders of Western Civilization really want Odysseus to be this heroic patriarchal figure when he is canonically kind of a dirtbag.

We’ve officially entered post-wokeism. Not utilizing tech billionaires’ earth-killing plagiarism machine is privileged, elitist, and dare I say, maybe even ableist(?) Please adjust your behavior accordingly.

I watched Onslaught. 📽️ #FilmSky

Since J. K. Rowling is back again to remind us what a huge piece of shit bigot she is, I am re-sharing my post with a short list of books that are better than Harry Potter. Please feel free to add your own suggestions to the list. Also, as a reminder... Do NOT watch the new Harry Potter show.

In celebration of the new #MCU show #Visionquest, I am re-posting my review of the original movie. 📽️ 📺 #FilmSky #ComicSky

A rebuttal… 🎥 #Filmsky

I am requesting that we bring back shame a bit more urgently than usual

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

He is so close to getting it

Hey, #Minneapolis, I don't know if you've had the Cookies 'n Cream chocolate croissant at Diane's Place yet, but... my good god, you ought'a.

They keep showing off all the cinematics and cut-scenes and all that shit with the upcoming #GTAVI and all I see is the stuff where I'd be smashing the A button over and over and over again as fast as I can.

Question for #minneapolis and #StPaul, all of #Minnesota... When you say "Klob" in reference to Amy Klobuchar, do you pronounce it "Klob" like in "slob" or "Klob" like in "Globe"? I lean towards the latter, as it's a shortened version of her name, but I can't help but hear the former when I see it.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Jacob Frey is the worst kind of white centrist, a glad-handing empty-suit always on the lookout for the next camera he can perform in front of. He's an ugly little untrustworthy monster who ran straight into the arms of white bigots the moment his mask was pulled during George Floyd. He's garbage.

I would love to live in a world where "President faces new rape allegation" isn't treated like a dog bites man story in the major media.

No one will disagree with me when I say that the great cast is one of the main reasons the original Star Trek has endured for so long, and Walter Koenig was terrific as Chekov. My heart goes out to my friend Danielle, his wonderful daughter. Rest In Peace.

Reprinting a picture of Star Trek's Walter Koenig ('Chekov') today for no particular reason.

GOP MN State Rep. Pat Garofalo posted a hugely racist tweet over on Elon's Nazi site, and now (white) people are confused how a moderate Republican could post something so racist, but only because they refuse to acknowledge that being a huge fucking racist IS the moderate Republican position.

I didn't expect to disagree with the Fangoria's Chainsaw Awards so much, but god damn... the Backroom and Obsession love? I mean, I get the Normies loving them, but you'd think horror people would see the issues. And worse... in a year with Weapons and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple? God damn.

Just speaking for myself but I was completely fine not knowing what Matt Yglesias thought about basically anything

This is one of the worst fucking things ever, and Marissa Mayer is just... so fucking awful, it's unbelievable. And then to admit to this in public? Awful. Horrendously awful. But that aside, there are also some real fucking weirdos in the comments. Very blockable weirdos.

standing ovation for Peggy Flanagan when she endorses "ripping ICE apart"

Good on #LastWeekTonight for talking about the undeniable reality of the majority of white America in clear terms.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.
