I have said this over and over, I will continue to say it: The most common American positions on trans issues are "idk, none of my business." Most people do not think about it and do not give a shit. They wish the news would shut up and talk about something that they think is actually important.
This is a really well-done corrective to the NYT/Atlantic party line on how attitudes about trans people affect Democrats' electoral prospects. Liberal Currents continues to shine.

Trans Panic? More Like Trans Apathetic
2025 shows trans rights aren't electoral poison. The truth? Most people just don't care that much.

and this is why the Death of the Humanities Degrees is devastating; we're just giving up on teaching students how to synthesize information in a way that's not somehow tied to capitalism
One hard part of the literacy problem in the United States is there are a lot of people -- some of them with college degrees and beyond -- who don't realize that they are bad at reading

I don't know how to reach those people

Starting to just get bored of the Lizza Nuzzi RFK jr stuff because although it’s salacious it’s mostly just annoying awful people thinking they’re more fascinating than they actually are

Gear up, Hollywood, because you're about to make a ton of Zorro movies
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

They’re getting rid of the Frank Sinatra music at the dancing fountain in Las Vegas. At the Bellagio casino. And they’re replacing it with Jelly Roll. They’re going to make the water red, white, and blue. And every night they’ll pick one kid to go into the fountain and wave. I’ll be there. Will you?

This is like the Snyder Cut coming out but even dumber
‘Rush Hour 4’ is officially in the works.

This comes after Donald Trump personally requested Paramount to revive the franchise.

Tiny addendum to a good thread, but: Trans people (and maybe queer people more generally) are so bottom line tricky for a lot of cis people across a wide variety of societies to comprehend because we at a base level underline the arbitrariness of human hierarchies.
A theory about vibes:

Human beings are deeply social creatures. Our need for a legible social order is rooted almost as deeply in our brainstem as our need for basic physical security. We need -- not want, need -- to understand who's in charge, who are allies, who are enemies, *how things work*.

THIS. So much of why people have seemingly lost their minds is down to this
It's a combination of a bunch of things, I think -- history is just moving faster in general -- but if you had to single out a culprit, it's got to be the internet & social media. It's never been more visible to everyone that the social order *could be otherwise*, that's it's essentially arbitrary.

We need to end the internet's collective delusion that The Revenge of the Sith is good, because it's getting out of hand
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

A day without bad news, please 😞

You remember Spiderdepot & her steadfast support of Ahmed. Sadly all her accounts have been banned, including the account for saving Ahmed's posts & helping his family

She was working to help buy winter clothes for Ahmed's family.

Yeah I keep seeing "DOGE failed" takes but it absolutely succeeded at what it was trying to do
DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Oh god this really reactivated my doomerism
you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong

DONALD TRUMP FIVE MINUTES AFTER MEETING ME: the Peter Capaldi era, they're calling it the greatest era of Doctor Who! Very classy TARDIS. Heaven Sent is the top episode of the show That's not me saying it, that's the polls! Clara? Missy? Amazing characters. And I heard they called me "inevitable"...
DONALD TRUMP FIVE MINUTES AFTER MEETING ME: The Director's Cut! The Director's Cut, the best version of Worms, the very best, believe me. They only made 5,000 copies, if you can believe that. It's the 30th anniversary this year, 30 years, 30 Worms. Worm years."
DONALD TRUMP FIVE MINUTES AFTER MEETING ME: there's this pop star they call The Saddest Girl In Sweden, can you believe that? She's named *lips pursed* TOOOO-VEY LOO. They're saying she writes all the songs, they're very good songs, can you believe she hasn't won a grammy? those grammys are rigged

Oh god I was briefly one of these girls in high school but I didn't realize it because I didn't know I was a girl yet
I feel like "pair of alt-girls who walk the mile run in HS and get yelled at by the gym teacher for trying to sneak cigarettes whenever they're on the far side of the track" is an entire jungian archetype
