It's not like Netflix is even a performative ally; they have continuously platformed transphobic material from stand up "comics"

It's my queer cyberpunk comic about lesbian cyborgs overthrowing a capitalist nightmare city that's a world's fair that never stopped expanding!

Before the cameras got there

I think you severely underestimate Democrats' desire to follow rules that Republicans ignore.

I don't know how this works well enough; why don't they nuke it now then reinstate it if it looks like they're going to lose power, then pretend it's an age old tradition that shouldn't be touched (until they're back in power)?

That really seems like something they'd do.

That's fair, I left that ambiguous. In my mind, "the cause" is essentially a white supremacist, patriarchal, xenophobic, fascist worldview.

Every article I see about every political topic lists the topic at hand as THE keystone policy that resonated with people. I've seen it about the economy, immigration, oppressing the trans community, law enforcement, etc.

This is the type of thing that should smash cut to Russ loudly cheering and moving his entire body out of sheer joy.

Our media famously believes anything Republicans tell them even when it flies directly in the face of all known facts.

I honestly think they're a combination of true believers in the cause, sycophants who will do anything for power, and idiots. Now that it's underway, I doubt Putin bothers with direct input very often, if ever.

Some piggies I painted for the very good podcast horror series, @thewrongstation.bsky.social ! This is from the episode "A Long Slice of Ham".

i am very sick of pretending conservatives have an argument that should be respected

Someone needs to explain to normies that the plan to “Make America Healthy Again” works by killing the sick people.

It’s probably a good thing that comedy is going to have a reckoning about comedians pretending they’re dangerous or edgy when their definition of those words is that they whitewash repressive government regimes for money but also make gay jokes

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers:

NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints.

and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

I hate when my frantic attempts to change my fate ironically lead to the same outcome prophesied by the soothsayer

I want it

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

A long time ago I realized if you want things you can only rely on yourself. Expecting anything from anyone else will only leave you disappointed.

Every time I think I was wrong about that lesson, life reteaches it to me.

He may play a CREEP but Mark Duplass is a stand-up guy, as Duplass Brothers Productions is teaming up with the Transgender Film Center to launch the Found Footage Fund for trans filmmakers.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

A very big Onion announcement:

The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece.

It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.

It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd.

Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

We are well past the point where large companies should have part of the social media team's job to be figuring out if something really needs a response (and to what degree) or is just flash in the pan bullshit they can ignore.
