I LOVE Tron but I will not be spending money to see a Jared Leto movie. Studios need to stop putting him in movies!

‘Tron: Ares’ grossed $14.3M in the film’s domestic opening day

That’s less than ‘Morbius’

Just a reminder that Banned Books Week isn’t about selling more copies of 1984. It’s about keeping authors and teachers and librarians safe and making sure all of us have the freedom to read widely. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

No shade to any of the Vertigo relaunch writers, but this is what the lineup looks like with me no longer in it, lol.

"I can't do something racist/transphobic/ableist because I am a good person who had no racist intentions" is a logical fallacy. It's only half the equation. It ignores the other half of the equation, the firsthand information we don't have: what it's like to be the OTHER PERSON.

Part of the college experience is feeling like your going to die an hour before an assignment is due and then accidentally writing the best thing your ever written.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

You either defend trans people and people of color now, or you go out alone when it's your turn. Just like Niemoller thought the Nazis would leave him alone if he was a good German. You're as wrong as he was. You'll find out.
