They're being emboldened from the top down, that's the real shame

I try not to be too jealous of younger generations, but the kids are out here performing androgyny to a level this aging queer never achieved...

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

They don't understand any way to help out family members that doesn't involve grift.

Hair chalk is a very good option, and if you spritz lightly with regular hairspray it won't rub off on stuff

It's 100% by Corbin at Studio 21 Tattoo Gallery - I went in to get my existing back piece touched up and told him "I would also like a jackrabbit" and he created this for me.

It's always fun to see who the audience demographic of a performer is by looking at whether there's a line for the women's bathroom after the show.

My waiter at this comedy club assumed because I had a brief conversation with the two strangers next to me that we were together, and was going to put me on their tab 😂

Bergman was pretty wild for doing it in Swedish, but it definitely sounds less threatening than the original German.

I actually didn't realize the Peace Prize isn't awarded in Stockholm with the others, but given his obsession with that one specifically I wouldn't be surprised if he knows exactly where and when they hand it out.

Can you ask him where he got that jacket, though?

My Fallout-themed car earned me a conversation with a sweet young trans woman who surprised me by saying she'd never played FONV. I thought that was the one that all the eggs played?

I had a job interview once with a woman manager and a woman asst manager and the only person who talked was a male engineer who barely let me answer questions. I asked them to take my application out of consideration.

"I don't think AI can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level."

That's it, that's the quote.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

they literally talk about how this is "Lavender Marriage 2.0", like it's a fun hack. It's so clearly a "we're paid well as influencers for this" thing and I fucking hate how its couched in so much bullshit faux-inclusivity-for-conservatives language.

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

One more session after this to do some background color behind it, but the main part of my jackrabbit tattoo is done.

The back of a light-skinned person's shoulder with a large tattoo of a jackrabbit colored in shades of turquoise with a red eye and pink toe beans.

Maybe they're the only ones dumb enough to give reporters that much access.

Personally it has always been "big enough to help everyone who needs it but too small to hurt anyone" and I'm amazed at how many people think I'm bonkers.
