Oh, come on. Race, gender, citizenship, and whatever the ownership class can use to keep us divided and distracted is, and always has been, the issue. Money and power.

Not assigned at birth. Not assigned by blinkered bigotry. Not assigned by superficial and changeable physical charastics. Not a denial of history, science, sociology or psychology.

As Freud might have said, "Sometimes a cigar is a cigar."

Our new Substack article is live!

And it asks a very serious question...

Should media be intimidated by people using the tools of lawfare to suppress opinions they disagree with?

Because it looks like that might be what happened in Alberta!

Danielle Smith's former Chief of staff demanded The Calgary Herald remove an article rebutting his position...

And then it was removed.

WNBPA players are fighting for a new contract so they get an equitable share of the profits THEY create.

Pay them what you owe them, @wnba.com Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and @nba.com Commissioner Silver! America’s unions have our players’ backs.

WNBA players union director criticizes NBA commissioner Adam Silver’s statements

Revenue sharing remains a wedge issue in CBA talks. Silver said the focus should be on salary increases.

New: a $60 mod to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses disables the privacy LED light. This is supposed to light when people are filming with the glasses. We bought the mod, verified it works. Now you can never be sure whether someone wearing Meta Ray-Bans is filming you or not

Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses usually include an LED that lights up when the user is recording other people. One hobbyist is charging a small fee to disable that light, and has a growing list of customers ar...

Point to where I support TERFS, or any other bigots. I double-dog dare you.

Why would someone follow me if they muted me? That makes no sense.

Kis he/him @blow-me-a-kis.bsky.social · 2d

Idk how many readers you got. You seem like a guy who would be muted by a lot of his followers

John Moxin @johnmoxin.bsky.social · 2d

Why is this over their heads?

Dear art thieves: apparently this semi-retired stagehand owns Picassos. I don't even have an alarm system.

Kat Z @katzindc.bsky.social · 2d

Stop buying Picasso’s paintings you hypocrite

John Moxin @johnmoxin.bsky.social · 2d

Close readers might spot the patronism.

Kis he/him @blow-me-a-kis.bsky.social · 2d

Im not being patronizing by stating a fact. Children can read books that are not very good.

John Moxin @johnmoxin.bsky.social · 2d

What's with all this patronising proscriptivism?

You hate An Art? Others like An Art? Who cares?

Have whatever opinion you want, share them widely, but don't be a censor. That never works out well.

Kis he/him @blow-me-a-kis.bsky.social · 2d

Nah I was one of the kids that enjoyed the books, but they were shit back then too. Naive ppl like kids read a lot of garbage without realizing it

You have Hitler landscapes?

ahrlad @fuckelon.bsky.social · 2d

I keep my hitler landscapes up on my walls as a testament to the transcendence of art and you're gross for suggesting otherwise

John Moxin @johnmoxin.bsky.social · 2d

Friendly tip, then:

Perhaps stop wasting your time. Life is short.

Also, false dichotomy. You forgot to account for the possibility you're arguing a non-existent position.

John Moxin @johnmoxin.bsky.social · 2d

The books are shit *to you.* Others may like them, and many kids developed a life long love of long form fiction from the series. So there's that.
FWIW, I tried to read The Philosopher's Stone, and was bored into napping. Good naps though.

Yes. Yes, and may I add, yes.

Picasso was an asshole, still mad about that. As was Kissinger, and yup, still mad. Oh, Atilla The Hun. Fuck me, what a dick. So, maybe no.

Buddy, give me your argument.

While her writing is budget Dickens and not my taste, others like it. The issue isn't her meh novels, it's her TERF stuff. Read/watch what you want, just never give her another nickel. Even indirectly.
cf: male rock stars, too many movie stars/directors/producers, etc.

Harry Potter isn't TERF, J K Rowling is. Enjoy the books and associated media without giving Rowling any more money. Simple.

Sheryl Weikal and the colorful Parrotlegals @leftistlawyer.com · 2d

If Harry Potter is more popular than trans people, that's an indictment of society, not trans people.

"Give up this hobby that is literally bankrolling our extermination" isn't a big ask tbh.
