the republicans are genocidal maniacs and the 3 democrats that voted for this are amoral cowards.

death before detransition.
trans youth are incredible.
The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors.

Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote.

so like, i’m aware that it’s not a done deal that all dems vote no on this bill

flooding folks’ offices with calls tomorrow is probably a good idea if you care about the trans folks in your life
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.

Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

Some words on The Princess Bride, one of Rob's very best and a movie that meant the world to me when I was younger

A ★★★★½ review of The Princess Bride (1987)
This was one of my favorites as a youngster. I was nervous to re-watch it for ages, to see how it would hold up, it felt like nerd culture had oversaturated and over-referenced it alongside films like...

Rob Reiner's films at their best weren't just great, they were the archetypes for many movies to come. How many mockumentaries exist because the filmmakers saw Spinal Tap? How many romantic comedies were trying to follow the blueprint of When Harry Met Sally?

I feel like there’s gotta be better strategies for winning people over to the left than talking like an eighth grader who just discovered South Park.

Or maybe there isn’t and we are that fucked as a country and even then I still don’t care, I’m better than that.

"Oh come on, it's just one presidential race that the Republicans won. How bad could it be?"
*25 years later*
Fuck.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

My brave and spicy Pitchfork take is that I'm gonna get so tired of seeing Headphones On in the Top 10 of every list as if there aren't any pop songs this year that are way better, including ones they have on the same damn list.
