Predator is totally a Slasher movie! But the big wrinkle is that rather than subverting the safety of suburbia, or weekend camping, or a holiday, it subverts the safety of a male power fantasy.
And that's why it's special.

I remember seeing this correct take from @wiswell.bsky.social back in 2021 in Nightmare Magazine?

We know from scientific research that up to 75% of intersex people with varations of sex chromosomes never become aware of this during their life.
You, a boring cis woman, might find yourself in the man section of a DHS holding facility and being charged with fraud just by traveling to the US.

1. A new proposed rule at the Department of Homeland Security would institute biological sex DNA testing of immigrants and visa applicants if DHS has reason to believe it would be relevant to their immigration status.

It’s incredibly funny to me that Mandani beat out Cuomo and Sliwa’s combined vote total by a significant margin.
You can’t even (legitimately) accuse Sliwa of spoiling the race.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Maybe now all the fucking democrats from carville to the blue heart crew here who keep saying the way to win is to hate trans people more will shut the fuck up
whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

The public-facing side of American conservative politics more or less amounts to crashing out constantly about a bunch of shit that either you or the weird liars you listen to uncritically have made up. The non-public part, from what we've seen of the chat logs and such, is somehow much worse.

as gently as i can say this, some people need to be beaten to death publicly to prevent others from trying shit like this in the future
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

that's something i enjoy about working with computers. sometimes you look at something and are like "that seems pretty similar to something we already solved. how are hard could this be?" and the answer is that it's been proved to be impossibly hard.

One of the things I think the vibe coding stuff hasn't yet really come to terms with is junior developers and owners often think the key skill for developers is ability to write code, and principal developers know the /actual/ super power that distinguishes principals is their ability to debug.
