Not to go down this week's particular rabbit hole very deeply, but as a guy who was *in fact hiring Hollywood writers* between 2011 and 2018, four staffs in total, it seems a lot of smart commenters are missing I did not diversify my rooms to be woke, I diversified my rooms to have better rooms.

Today is International Day to End Violence against Sex Workers. We remember and honour all sex workers who have been murdered or have died as a result of criminalisation, stigma, and discrimination. Decriminalisation means safety and justice!

If we'd just stop fucking letting mass murderering pedophiles rule us, we could all just live comfortable lives where we can look forward to tomorrow because we know tomorrow brings better things.

This is possibly the most significant attack on trans rights in this country yet, and I can count the number of posts on my timeline about this on my hands.

If you're trying to dismiss this thinking "It'll die in the senate," DON'T! Sound the alarms now!
Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

Had a psychiatrist appointment today, hoping to get some guidance on ADHD meds. Instead I just need to exercise more and get friends because I'm lonely... well that was a waste of $400 I didn't need to piss away like that.

My favorite part is this, and it's extremely useful at seeing through the DARVO and figuring out who's at fault in an X-said-Y-said scenario: The person who cannot give you specifics on what happened is the abuser

"This game will not have microtransactions or loot box... OH COME ON PEOPLE, WHO LEFT THEM IN THERE!!!"
"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

When I interviewed Spinal Tap and Marty DiBergi this summer, none of them broke character, for the whole hour. Except Rob Reiner, once, losing it when Michael McKean's David St Hubbins talked about minimalism. I didn't use this in the feature and hadn't published any audio, but this is joyful.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

He was a big donor to the org I worked for right out of college. I never met him, but I’ll always be grateful for everything he did for the queer community.
Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.

Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

So I'm going to tell a story about whagmt sort of people these are, and this predates this lunacy by about a decade.

Around 2010-2011 I had a friend who we'll call G, because Ghostbusters was a strong tie for us... and I really don't want to think about his fucking name.

G always had ideas...
