I will never understand how Jared Leto has remained a working movie star for 30 years despite never starring in a good or successful film

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.
Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Yes. The litmus test has to be "all people are people, and equal to me and you." This includes Palestinian people and trans people: there is only one answer: *yes.*
All counterarguments are saying in effect "no, they're not people, and they are not equal to me and you." Nonstarter.

JK Rowling explicitly calls on her followers to engage in vigilante actions against people they suspect are trans in bathrooms.
This is incredibly dangerous and far more likely to result in violence against gender nonconforming cis women.

better yet, consider unsubscribing from HBO/Max the week before her show comes out (& if you rejoin, wait until the HP season is over). it's not enough to *not* watch it – HBO needs to know it will hurt their bottom line if they continue producing it
if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

Sometimes I think about how the far right has the patience to play the long game because none of the shit they’re obsessed with has any material impact on their lives.

Hayao Miyazaki should be allowed to kill at least one person
Hayao Miyazaki, who said AI is an "insult to life itself," would probably hate all the AI-generated art ripping his studio's style that people in the AI industry are now obsessed with www.404media.co/hayao-miyaza...
Hayao Miyazaki, Who Said AI Is ‘Insult to Life Itself,” Reduced to AI-Generated Meme by OpenAI
The internet is flooded with AI-generated images in the style of Studio Ghibli, whose founder said “I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all.”

This argument comes up regularly, and it has nothing to do with how progressives are talking to young men. It has a lot to do with the way misogyny is normalized in homes and schools and churches.
If progressives want to win back young men, then they must talk to them and address their needs, instead of constant scolding. All the finger wagging just drives them to Rogan, Peterson, and the Tate brothers. And they DO talk to young men.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

A piece of concept art in the Art of Super Mario Odyssey book is overlaid with the text "Note: Relief is temporary." While it actually refers to the fact that the design of the relief carving is not finished, it inadvertently appears to make an existential statement instead.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment.
I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face.
And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

We are at the stage of oligarchy in this country where we’ve been bought by private equity and they’re currently transferring all the assets to their own pockets and leaving us with the debts.

I will occasionally encounter students and colleagues who think that America doesn’t have colonies, and I tend to remind them of this fact.
Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, DC, American Samoa...millions of people who pay taxes, are plundered for resources, and have no say in their own lives. It's utterly abhorrent.

So many people who call themselves “tough” are just numbed out, lacking social awareness, and able to dissociate at an expert level. You’re not tough. Your connection to humanity in yourself and others is hanging by a frayed thread. That’s actually extremely fragile.
