My hobbies include dispelling harmful stereotypes and really fagging up the room

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

I assure you, the vast majority of my thoughts when you post selfies are thoroughly indecorous

They're fun! Jennifer Welch once got EXTREMELY offended when someone called her a centrist.

I am not a regular listener to I've Had It but I went through a brief phase where I became familiar with their game, and one thing I think everyone should know about Jennifer Welch on the left here is that the most I have ever seen her be personally offended is when a comment called her a centrist

The end result of this is definitely going to be addicted users committing actual sex crimes because they were goaded into it by ChatGPT sexbots

This will immediately start destroying people's lives, more so than ChatGPT already does, because it's going to accelerate the problems that consuming endless porn already runs into, which is diminishing returns due to the hedonic treadmill and the way eroticism craves novelty

I agree that there’s some real horrific irony in AI conglomerates being permitted to launch the Madness Inducing Porn Spigot while actual, human porn producers are getting harassed off the internet.

It feels like such a slap in the face to sex workers and nsfw artists who are actively being censored by payment processors atm. Of course visa/mc are ok with this because its a rich white guy doing it AND they get access to all that VERY PROFITABLE PII. Disgusting.

My husband is a buffer between me and her and I do think he deserves sainthood for that

Howard Ashman 🔪stab🔪 account @michaelchu7.bsky.social · 19h

I actively don't enjoy who I am when I think these sorts of thoughts which is why my solution has been to HIT DA BRICKS and have as little contact with my parents and brother as possible

I want us all to be happy! I just want them to be happy somewhere far away where I don't have to deal with it.

As far as I'm concerned, "giving me life and bringing me into this world" ranks among her greatest crimes and misdeeds, so I've never been particularly open to the idea that I owe her something (or indeed, anything) for that in perpetuity

Unfortunately there is no faster way to see me turn into a viciously unpleasant person filled with anger, hostility, cruelty, and resentment than to tell me that my mother needs my help and would like to visit with little-to-no warning

Several moots have let me know that my Monster Math skeet went viral on Tumblr because of Spooky Month, and I'd like to give a shout-out to this note, which I found delightful

Tumblr user beardedmrbean posting a screencap of my Bluesky tweet which reads as follows.

You: They did the math.

Me (this script is in tiny superscript): they did the monster math

You: What was that?

Me: Nothing

Me three hours later in a whisper (again, in tiny superscript): it was a graveyard graph

There are currently 26.7k notes on that post

Tumblr user become-potatoes reblogged slightlytoastedbagel and added the following tags: #im more intrigued that the name of that account is assumedly Howard Ashman stab account #thats amazing

I have not seen Hail Caesar! but I HAVE watched the No Dames musical number a dozen times and it truly is an exemplary use of his talents and whole vibe (homoeroticism included)

Also I believe he learned to tap dance specifically for this number!

Much love to Channing Tatum and the clear passion he has for the character but I agree with this, he has too much of a boxer face and a hunky Adonis bod for me to be able to see him as Gambit. Remy LeBeau is a scruffy, wiry swamp rat who gets all his muscles from t'ieving and fucking, not the gym

Greatbob Umber @greatbobumber.bsky.social · 23h

I do not mean to derail your thread about Channing Tatum, but I really do not like him as Gambit. At some point in the past few years I saw a picture of Gaspard Ulliel and I thought, "that's Gambit" and now he died in 2022 and we now have Tatum who looks like he's Gambit for Halloween and it's sad.

I would be remiss not to point out that Gambit is probably the single most bisexual-coded male character in the Marvel universe who isn't canonically bisexual

And I'm just never 100% sure how much of it is genuine, i.e., classic Sex Idiot, and how much of it is something that he developed over time in order to sell that body/face combo to the general public and protect him from too much overt scrutiny over what's actually going on inside his head

Like, his is such a specific, almost gentle broness. He's not a toxic asshole like Mark Wahlberg and he doesn't have the grizzled, rugged weariness of a Josh Brolin. He's 45 but he has the personality and affect of someone whose performance of self crystallized in a homoerotic frat house at age 22

So two things about Channing Tatum

1) I could have sworn he was openly bisexual for like, a month, and then he (and/or his agent) started thinking maybe he could be A-list and scrubbed it from the internet, leaving only rumors

2) As such, I'm deeply interested in his relationship to masculinity

Brendel @brendelbored.bsky.social · 1d

Can I just say that I love how wholesomely stupid Channing Tatum is? I love the freaking guy. He’s calling in to talk about the Steelers but it’s about Kirsten Dunst.

"I never get nervous about working with people, but that's Kirsten Dunst bro," Tatum tells Vogue. "I knew I was gonna have to up my game because she's a beast. She doesn't have a single miss on her resume, it's all bangers."
