New episode of #TheBackdrop up at @SecondWindGroup.com.

This week, @janjozone.bsky.social and I look at how #Fallout argues that, in this post-apocalyptic hellscape, we’re all just NPCs to the billionaires who think they’re going to live forever.

I'd like to remind everyone that there's a scene in Man Of Steel where Clark literally comes out of the closet.
And while the immigrant perspective is perhaps the most obvious one, I’ve also seen queer and trans people strongly relate to the idea that we are not forced to be who society demands us to be, rather we are free to choose who we want to become, with all the existential anxiety and joy that implies

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

Curt Cignetti has done the unthinkable, turning the biggest loser in college football history into a 16-0 national champion in just two seasons.

With the win, he has proven to be the best coach in the sport, @brucefeldmancfb.bsky.social writes.
