1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

man riding a bike meme. Everything is labeled "republicans", the bike, the landscape, the street. He puts a stick labeled republican in his own spokes causing himself and to crash. As he writhes on the ground in pain, he says: "Everyone else is going to pay for what happened to me!"

quoted post image is missing alt text but it's a bunch of x tweets from Republicans who are angry about the escalator and teleprompter not working at the UN today at the bottom is an admission that the escalator was stopped inadvertently by someone and Trump's own group that was ahead of him and and the defective teleprompter was operated by the White House.

Charlie Kirk dedicated his life to seeing as many children as possible shot in our schools, and in the end that passion would be his undoing.

His final words were denying that gun violence was a problem in America.

Dearest Martha,

The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.

Yours in glaze,
