I went through conversion therapy.

I hate that name. It's not therapeutic. And it's not that it doesn't work. I hate when people say that, because "doesn't work" implies a placebo. Conversion therapy isn't.

Her party is losing a lot, and for good reason. Their economic policies are a big reason the Japanese yen is falling so dramatically after COVID and the inflation crisis afterwards. She herself is a firm believer in what they called "Abenomics."

But their whole Diet is pretty crummy, so meh.

In all seriousness, publishers are going to have to figure out how to market books in the post-social-media landscape. That should be an implicit part of their job. What authors/artists can do on their own is increasingly limited and siloed.

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.

Next Monday's "One First" was going to be about how we should stop covering new #SCOTUS terms through the "big" cases the Court will hear; and instead focus on how the Court is behaving.

Fortunately for me (and you), @dahlialithwick.bsky.social and @mjsdc.bsky.social did it first—and *way* better:

The Supreme Court Will Do Four Things This Term That Tell You Everything You Need to Know

In the week before the October 2025 Supreme Court term opens, the impulse among court watchers will again be to do what we always do.

Bad Bunny was announced as the Super Bowl halftime performer and it's triggering all the worst people. I'm here for it. Boricua!

Tweet from The Redheaded Libertarian claiming Bad Bunny is a “demonic Marxist” given a global stage during a Christian revival. Attached is a TikTok video still showing Bad Bunny performing onstage in red lighting, surrounded by masked dancers in dark clothing.

Tweet from Robby Starbuck with text criticizing the NFL for picking Bad Bunny as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime performer, calling it political and noting his comments about ICE raids and Trump. Below the text are screenshots: a USA Today headline about Bad Bunny excluding the U.S. from his tour over ICE fears, a Fox News headline announcing him as the halftime show act, and two photos of Bad Bunny in artistic makeup and outfits.
