If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Thinking about this throughout the day, what mainstream country singer would even be Super Bowl worthy, much less generally accepted as an interesting pick? Only one that immediately comes to mind is Shaboozey and whoooooo boy,

Interesting write up of Kevin Costner leaving Yellowstone and trying to make his Horizon movies. This part took me out www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Still, there’s clearly some lingering bad blood between the two old cowboys. According to one well-placed source, Costner had a hard time finding horses and cows to rent during his Horizon shoot in Utah. The rumor on the set was that most of the livestock had already been rented … by Taylor Sheridan.

I think also about how it doesn’t matter if those girls ever decide to be dancers

What matters is seeing it was an option. That they can make the choice

I sincerely thought I wouldn’t need to do this this week, but something fell through and now I need to raise $800 by Thursday to pay for our room and to get to and from work til next payday. If you’re able to spare anything, even a share, it would be tremendous.

Anything helps!

South Carolina's criminal code sentences a rapist to 30 years for rape, but if SC's new S 323 becomes law, it'd sentence a woman to death for getting an abortion

Meaning—if a man impregnates a woman via rape he may get 30 years, but if that impregnated victim gets an abortion she would be executed😐

There isn't much to say about Iron: Ares, a movie that for some reason decides to frame Jared Leto as its star when Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Gillian Anderson are right there just waiting for something to do. My review:

The Verge @theverge.com · 1d

Tron: Ares is a soft reboot that’s running low on RAM

Disney’s new Tron follow-up is a dud.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!
