Not to rub it in the face of those who liked her before this-plenty of people I liked are getting involved in these shitty projects-but man I'm glad I was never fond of this woman lol

Something about her acting always turned me off her

Also it implies that trans people are-like-equally to blame about this entire conflict when Rowling with her significantly larger social capital could have. Lived her entire life not saying shit and targeting a group of people who would cause her 0 harm

Her snort and defensive body language give me the impression she's sincerely irritated beinf asked about this

Like bitch you took the blood money you can't just go 'I didn't mean to get my hands dirty. Anyway compromise with those who want you dead!"

Man I've seen people try to use her stated ignorance as a way to defend her-like "Oh maybe we're overreacting all these actors can't POSSIBLY know" but her response now I've seen the clip is. Fucking terrible

Lady Emily ☄️ @ladyemily.nebula.tv · 15h

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

Granted kidnapping a child and forcing her to be chained underneath the house while you treated other kids her own age with care and compassion was probably a bridge too far lol

I actually like Xavier being more morally ambiguous like how they were depicting him in the 2000s it makes sense that a man who was best friends with Magneto would have some scruples and I absolutely buy that his motivations would push him into places that are uncomfortable with his ideals

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 1d

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

This legitimately looks like a radio studio from an underground bunker in like a dystopic world where wolves have taken over the planet or something

Dan and Phil are now together

Thus another wrinkle on the everlasting saga of "I don't really know what Dan and Phil's like deal actually is what they do or did on YouTube and at this rate I'm too afraid to ask it's been too long this is just life now"

Also watch as our intrepid hero sexually harasses a woman because he assumes the way she's dressed is a ploy by her employer as a tool to distract her and then drops the N-word. Like....hard R baby

The actual 2025 if you can't pay for food:

Important thread that *every* Irish environmentalist should read before voting in the presidential election.

In short: Humphreys was just as disastrous for the environment as she was on social policy.

Rob @robosullivan.bsky.social · 1d

Let's explore the Green credentials of Heather Humphreys - The woman former GP member Brian Leddin thinks should be president.
She advocated for an increased burn period during her time as Minister for Heritage, as well as prolonging the period during which hedgerows could be cut. #Spéirgorm 1/n

*looks at a political ideology with literally 0 political power* how can I shill for the Dems when they can of make it clearer they'll sell trans people down the river without a second's hesitation?

The context on which this was said does not make it better unfortunately

I believe that the far left is preying on the desperation of trans people in the search of cannon fodder for their revolutionary fantasies and it is hurting people. We cannot afford to eschew electoralism, nor can we take peace for granted.

What is with your constant punching left recently? "The left" and especially trans leftists have literally zero power. Do you not think that this energy is best used elsewhere?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

Jared Leto being cast as Barney: I'm gonna walk around shitting myself in this dinosaur suit as I send my castmates recordings of me screaming the clean up song

Lady Emily ☄️ @ladyemily.nebula.tv · 2d

Finding out that Jared Leto kept doing his method acting shit and insisted on staying in character on the set of Tron Ares and would only answer to the name of Ares is so funny, like making a big ass douche of yourself for the third Tron movie where you play “computer program that gains feelings”

Okay let's be clear here:

Porn made by consentong human bodies=bad
Porn made by stealing explicit content from people without their consent=fine

Okay, then

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

I'm kind of an easy lay for dinosaur movies and both Fallen Kingdom and Dominion miraculously didn't pass that low low threshold this one did! I had fun!

Other than that it's a solid if unremarkable adventure romp with a serviceable if again unremarkable cast

You Call Yourself a Film Critic @filmcriticmaybe.bsky.social · 15h

The worst parts are just carried over from the other World movies:

-Entirely killing the impact of dinosaurs roaming free in the world which Dominion also did
-Saying humans would eventually get bored of dinosaurs
-genetically modified dinosaurs
