"I have seen people abuse state aid with my own eyes" people never have an example of seeing someone definitely abusing state aid. They have examples of seeing (or imagining) people they don't want to exist.

Our urge to say that Professor X or Magneto is a "good person" or "right," is distinct from their actual characterization or deeds. It's that we want to be good what we see them representing. Unfortunately, we do that with real world political figures, too, including softening on Reagan or W Bush.

We talk anima/animus, othering, group dynamics, systemic racism, weaponized woke lingo, and white people doing Anansi stories.

Giving a greater percentage of dialogue to women and nonwhite actors of any gender than Star Trek or Wars had managed, and establishing Muslims in space, Pitch Black was also preceded by a budget crime movie about the events of the feature film, by mixed Asian American director, M. David Melvin.

People will complain that a slasher nightmare walks too slow to catch running victims, but as I dove into for Us Living, that is the nightmare part. It's that it doesn't make sense and isn't by the rules that makes it upsetting and unfightable.

Brianna Wu is only "apologizing" to the trans community because she knows we'll (rightfully, wisely) reject her false contrition and she can run back to her fascist friends crying "the trans activists are so mean, I feel bullied, really, now they left me no choice but to become a Nazi 😔"

When reiterating that Stephen King is the "most banned author in US schools," don't lose sight of how, as a bestselling, wealthy cishet white guy with seventy film adaptations, that hurts him incredibly less than it does many of the authors who are cut out by systemic bias.

Why do people love embarrassing themselves by showing they've never read Frankenstein. Shelley explicitly points out that her monster is a) hot, b) beautiful, c) has amazing hair, and d) is ripped as fuck.

John Carpenter directed Phone Stalker from the same living room & tv he games on, using drones, earpieces, improv, remote control. The only time he was on a set was to interview the real life Beth Spierer and her friends & acquaintances. But, he didn't use AI.

Every time someone goes at me or anyone else just scraping by for using a blogging service they dislike (for legitimate reasons), I can't help but think of how many services they happily themselves use which fund things like this.
Apple, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Google, Coinbase, Comcast and Meta are just some of the major companies who have made donations to build President Donald Trump's proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom, according to the White House. https://cnn.it/47yWmpP

Gardening is a lot of fun and growing things is nice but also you learn a valuable lesson which is:
I would absolutely starve to death if I needed to grow all of my own food

It takes 30 days to grow a radish. Also 2/3 of the country is already in or entering winter.
On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Venezuela is not a significant supplier of drugs to the US and not a supplier of fentanyl at all. This is a pretext to do a coup in Latin America.
This is driving me crazy. The New York Times calling this madness an “anti-drug operation” is one of the worst forms of propaganda: accepting stated motivations of powerful people as the truth.

Royals is one of the last Marvel Universe comics to really excite me on a consistent basis as it serialized. Designed to be read fast, it was largely dismissed as misfired fluff, but every page, every moment and idea was entirely nuts.
