I've noticed there's some overlap between the rhetorical style of transphobic posts and erotic doujinshi titles. "Do You Really Think A Woman Can Have A Penis And Be Happy In Her Relationships?" "This Is The Future A Certain Movement Will Create." "A Women Naturally Wants To Do Womanly Things."

i do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

The podcast's tagline is, "Family therapy through politics." Frankly, I think it's some sort of sick debasement ritual to stick this out. They can call the parents stupid, but who are the stupid ones, the morally nihilistic authoritarians or the ones expecting them to change? Let's get real.
On “The Necessary Conversation” podcast, Chad’s Trump supporter parents tell him the military should follow Trump’s illegal orders and kill everyone in LA if Trump commanded it — even with him and his sister in the city😳

Imagine it being your dream to be an animator and overworking yourself at a studio but ultimately making stuff you're proud of only to have massively evil corporations make it utterly unwatchable specifically because they have contempt for the idea that people like you deserve to have your jobs.
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

This is something @ndrew.bsky.social has been saying for years… are we really going to subject our children to targeted harassment and physical inspections by agents of the state just because of a hypothetical scenario that would seem to be more like obvious cheating than sincere inclusiveness.
people get wrongfooted by terfs going “what if a man can just say he’s a woman and win the Olympics” but they will be a lot less sympathetic when that cashes out with “and that’s why the drunkest MAGA grandpas at the track meet are accusing your tomboy daughter of being a secret male”

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?
Riley Gaines climbed the MAGA ladder by vilifying trans women in sports. Now, teammates are speaking out about the real problems on her team: abusive coaching, sexual harassment, eating disorders. ow.ly/o3wq50XuCzp

The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

For @aftermath.site, I spoke to @imodrew.bsky.social, the Sucker Punch dev fired after making a Charlie Kirk joke.

She paints a picture of an industry that all too often ignores bad actors until those bad actors threaten them financially.

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

No, this is a valid criticism of capitalism actually, because the reason many people are doing that is that they need to do so to acquire a wage to trade for their subsistence, without which there's a strong chance they'll be unable to survive. Wage labor is characteristic of capitalism.
“Capitalism forces you to wake up at 7am against your body’s natural rhythms” no that’s Taylorism and if you don’t like living in a society that coordinates effort to ensure a better outcome for all then I don’t think you’ll love the alternatives

Thanks to everyone who checked this out. I know digging deep into Ben Shapiro and how he talks about American identity in the context of Superman's ethics is a hyper-specific topic, but I'm happy to get comments like, "I didn't know he was that bad," which demonstrates the tide is turning somewhat.
FINALLY my response to Ben Shapiro's terrible Superman review (and his other videos about the film) is live on the channel. Please enjoy.
