What is the point of a live action MOANA remake? The best scene will still be almost entirely CGI, and if Jemaine Clement isn't singing "Shiny" what's the point anyway?

For absolutely no reason in particular, I'm thinking of rewatching Eyes Wide Shut this week.

The people who spent YEARS lecturing everyone about sexual morality now cannot even define the terms "child" or "rape."
That tells you exactly how much they cared about sexual morality and how much that claim was a cudgel to beat anyone different from them.

unsubscribing from the new york times, no longer caring about harry potter, giving trans people money, and loudly supporting our rights among family, friends and coworkers were the bare minimum starting points, so go from there

For years I delusionally hoped that MAGA cultists would have a breaking point, and Trump could do something so horrible that he would lose their support. Today has been a harsh reminder that nothing he does is too evil for them to defend.

I've never publicly shared this, but I was sexually assaulted. And after the latest deluge of information linking Trump to Epstein, having to watch MAGA cultists (knowing that includes people I knew, grew up with, and trusted) make every excuse imaginable for this evil is beyond sickening.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

Let me make sure I have this correct. Jimmy Kimmel said what happened to Charlie Kirk is horrific, then followed up that the shooter was pretty obviously MAGA and our president blatantly no longer cares, and he's canceled until he apologizes and donates to Kirk's organization?

Anyone who thinks loving and supporting trans people involves clinging to a gender binary because TRVTH has blatantly never stepped foot in a non cis shoe, let alone taken two steps in one.

The fact that Elon is not getting slammed with libel cases for all his "Epstein bombshells" pretty much proves he's telling the truth about something for once in his life.

One of the most famous lines from America's founding is that all men are created equal. While we've always struggled to live up to that, I could not have imagined we'd ever fall so far from that ideal in the name of liberty. This July 4th, the most patriotic thing I can say is: God damn America.

While good on its face, be aware that you're being tracked, that this ebb and flow may continue, and they may not let you back ever. Proceed with caution, but keep yourself safe.
1. Good news for trans people: I have independently confirmed that the Trump admin is now processing passport updates in compliance with a court order.
Multiple trans people have gotten their gender markers updated.
There are important caveats though, read on.
