1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing

The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

It's so cool how Chat GPT shows you how to do things in the style of your favorite artists, like suicide.

Some folks thought I was crazy for pre-paying my hotel and a few other things earlier this year re: my Prague trip, but it doesn't take a crystal ball to see what was going to happen. The dollar is in the toilet. Thanks, Danger Yam.

Peter Capaldi should show up in every new season. Not as the Doctor. Always as a different supporting character who ends up meeting an untimely demise at alien hands.

Rana has many unique photos, social media in Gaza that predates the war and is friends with @itsmeio.bsky.social whom I’ve shared before.

Rana didn’t know about fundraising links until recently and her family has been really struggling to survive. She’s hoping to get Hamoud the care he needs.

Y’know, talk about how the power of stories can empower and unite marginalised communities.

Talk about how Rowling took on racism and defended the casting of a black person as Hermione on stage.

It’ll still be hollow, meaningless crap. But at least it sounds like you give a damn

On one hand, I hate everyone who decided to take part in this, even if I’d respected them beforehand.

On the other, I’m also pissed off at the sheer laziness in their answers on this. They’re not even pretending to give a shit

Keira Knightley cares so little about trans people that she couldn't even be bothered to prep an answer about working w/ Rowling & just seemed very angry to be asked. And no, I don't believe that she didn't know. Come on. www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/co...

What a terrible loss! Drew Struzan, the artist behind so many iconic movie posters that it's fair to say he illustrated most of our best cinematic memories, has left us at 78 years old.

Under no circumstances should you have more than one credit card, and the limit should remain low. Practice saving money for expensive things you want. It's good training for life and you'll never be tempted to live beyond your means.

It is a crime against humanity that Carter Burwell’s score to The Spanish Prisoner (with the exception of two tracks) has never been released. Because it really is outstanding.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.
