I paid sixty dollars for No Man's Sky nine years ago and they refuse to stop making the video game. I've begged them to go home to their families but they won't stop adding new kinds of weird little guys and like, optimizing the gentle patter of rain on an alien ocean. Please let me pay for a DLC

On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

I don’t think I can do the palace intrigue this time around guys. I’ve got two kids now. My brain is too full of My Little Pony characters to remember the name and motivation of every racist crypto baron in Trump’s cabinet

The alternative isn't reasonable I guess but it is unbearably grating to see all the "RFK Jr sets his sights on FDA reform" or "Is RFK Jr's healthy eating idea so bad?" headlines like he's just some normal guy instead of something like "Utter lunatic wants to murder you and your children"

More women have been attacked by other women in restrooms for being suspected of being trans in 2024 than women have ever been attacked in a restroom by a trans woman in all of recorded history.
In 2024 more women were attacked by another woman in a public restroom than by a trans woman.
In fact I don't think any were attacked by a trans woman.

While I'm at it, there's a line Emmrich shares with Harding that brings The Little Prince to mind:
"I would've spent a lot of time on those roses."
I couldn't resist the inspiration and found myself sketching our Emmrich as the Little Prince. I dearly hope you'll find it as cute as I do.

They are committed to the destruction of trans lives and trans existence. They will not win that fight, but understand, this is everyone's fight, and it won't be settled in the courts. These eliminationist politics will have to be fought at every level.
Matt Walsh outside the Supreme Court: "This case is just the beginning of the fight. It is not the end. We are not gonna rest ... until trans ideology is entirely erased from the earth. That's what we're fighting for, and we will not stop until we achieve it."

My guess is that a lot of trans people will be feeling a ton of stress and worry over SCOTUS today.
If you are a cis person, quote this and say why you support trans people and what you are willing to do to support us if the government comes for us.

I can't fully articulate how worried I am for trans people of all ages. It feels like the world doesn't care.
Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.
This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.
He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.
