A lot of ink has been spilled and YouTube channels born out of discussing Abrams’ disdain for the Prequels. It’s apparent in every facet of TFA.
To the point of having a planet made to evoke Coruscant, which now functions as Coruscant, get blown up and forgotten.
But something
the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.
A week is a long time in politics.
oh no the thing that has happened to every single world power in every single major conflict since the advent of modern artillery is happening again
This story is enraging on multiple levels. So many human beings in this story chose to just fully defer to the AI.
oh fuck off
Meanwhile, if you are cis...
New from me for @prismreports.org: Democratic lawmakers are trying to repress leftwing protest even more than the Trump admin, as Trump’s DOJ unleashes a previously unused subsection of federal law against pro-Palestine and anti-ICE activists

Note the absence of Ireland from this list despite government parties committing to do so before the last election...
A trans person drawing on a statue with chalk got comment from the Home Secretary and coverage on TV and in all the main papers.
A female Green MP being harassed and abused in the street by transphobes gets nothing...

"For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals."
Another CBS News journalist leaving and talking about independence. Bit of a not-so-subtle hint at what's happening over there.
A few weeks ago, I saw a group of people in a Facebook comments section trying to figure out if a picture of Ilhan Omar was real. (It was not.) I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I wrote about what I'm calling "strategic memes against public participation." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
All movement towards greater equality in matters of race, gender and sexuality, across the modern West, was achieved by simply taking no account of the views of the very many people who didn't want it to happen.
We should get back to this.
I want you toknow that proclamations like this come from the softest dude you will ever meet whose greatest challenge in life is waiting ten minutes in line at Merridee's
Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
the weasel word here is “good quality”. you can’t do a double-blind study if the people who get the placebo drop out because they can tell they’re obviously not getting HRT. they rely on obfuscating this
Apparently mission impossible ghost protocol and the incredibles where directed by the same guy, who knew.
Airwars, a non-profit group tracking civilian harm in conflict, found that the initial days of the U.S.-Israeli campaign in Iran hit significantly more targets per day than any campaign in recent decades. The targets also map heavily onto the highest populated areas. airwars.org/record-pace-...
Thinking about the time a friend introduced me to her friend who was an OB-GYN, and I asked her if there was anything surprising about her job, and she said, “I’ve seen WAY more tattoos of cherries than you’d expect”
I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it
bluesky is an echo chamber where you learn about alf's dick. twitter is an echo chamber where you learn to say stuff like "actually it's called ephebophilia"
A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best
Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best
Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!
i dont think pundits and columnists should get a mulligan after being catastrophically wrong on the most important issues of our time
trying to avoid any kind of despairposting but it is really fucking shit that at the already horrible moment when true heroics could have stopped climate change the nonces in charge of the world chose wholesale destruction
la palabra “fursona” implica la existencia de un “fursono” que es mas masculino
Again, I have to ask: what do people in power think the UK actually *makes*? Because we don't build stuff any more. You and your predecessors deliberately shifted us towards being a service economy a generation ago. All we have going for us is our art, music, educational establishments...
this isn't the worst of the Democrats' statements, but statements like this are a stark reminder that to many people, the real issue with the Iraq War was that Americans died. everything else is a footnote.
