Gavin Newsom's position is clear: if it costs corporations money, or could cost corporations money, he will veto it, no matter who it protects or who it harms.

The man is another corporate toady, and nothing else. His priorities are CEO priorities, the same ones we see cozying up to Trump now.

"“While I strongly support the author’s goal of establishing necessary safeguards for the safe use of AI by minors, (the bill) imposes such broad restrictions on the use of conversational AI tools that it may unintentionally lead to a total ban on the use of these products by minors,” Newsom said."

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.

Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.

Gavin Newsom Vetoes Important HRT Stockpiling Bill For Trans Californians, Signs Other Pro-LGBTQ+ Bills

The bill would have allowed transgender people to maintain a safe supply of medication in the era of government crackdowns on care.

Legendary trans activist Miss Major has passed away earlier today.

Her work isn’t merely inspiring. Her work is a north star for how we should be fighting for queer liberation: by never letting down those who need it the most.

"While several commentators speculated that the ice cream may have been bubblegum flavored based primarily on the pattern of the cup in Sacco's hand, and one even glibly suggested 'pussy flavor,' the truth remains unknown. This is perhaps reflective of the transsexual's known tendency towards decept

My review of Monster: The Ed Gein Story

I am not being hyperbolic when I say this is one of the worst television shows I have ever seen in my whole 40 years on this planet. That this bears absolutely zero resemblance to the real Ed Gein is one thing in and of itself, but even if this was about a completely fictional murderer (which it essentially IS), it would be baffling and indefensible. By the time history's greatest lover and friend Ed Gein starts speaking in an Irish accent and solving crimes, the show is so far gone you have to just fucking accept it. This is what you've chosen to do with your precious time. You've committed eight hours to the absurdist rehabilitation of Ed Gein, misunderstood victim who lit up every room he entered. After all, aren't we the monsters or whatever? Who lives, who dies, who tells his stoooory?

The far-right mouthpiece who told young men to clean up their place while in front of his very clearly messy home, now has contracted an illness from all the mold in his home.

If you wrote such a fascist character in a story it would be deemed a silly caricature.

Peterson's daughter said her father has a "genetic predisposition that causes the immune system to have an inability to identify and detoxify mold."

just being straight up 100% serious that if you are cis you should have to either pass an oral exam on whipping girl or secure the signatures of 40 trans people, one of whom is julia serano, before being allowed to shove trans shit into your tv shit

apparently the new Netflix show Monster: The Ed Gein Story invented an "autogynephilia" backstory for their serial killer (because of course they did!). so time to re-up my collection of writings on this pseudoscientific zombie theory...
