Given that this is a Tyler Perry production, I can't tell if that's a good or a bad thing. LOL

TikTok out here trying to flatter me. The suggested search on my video is “walking attractively” LOL 😏

Maybe TikTok just wants some money.
Screenshot of my TikTok morning walk video. I’m mid-sentence wearing a blue workout top and black cap. At the bottom is a suggested search with the terms “walking attractively”.

Videos edited, uploading to YouTube, time for food. I am being a productive mother fucker tonight. I just need to remember that this attitude realignment is possible from time to time, while also giving myself room to sulk for a bit.

However… I haven't had time to review this MtG pre-con deck. Eh.

Cis-het-allo people I cannot emphasize how thoroughly queer folks have given up on the possibility that you would do the right thing for the right reasons and are resorting to appeals to your self-interest.

This is why one of my recurring themes is that fascism is bad for the economy. If the “median experience of tyranny” is “well, I’m doing okay, shame about those people in the tenement” That’s one thing. But “Trump took over and things got really expensive and I lost my job” is something else
gregsargent.bsky.social
Relatedly, this @brianbeutler.bsky.social idea of the "median experience of tyranny" is a good way to say that while majorities oppose the lawbreaking/abuses of power, Miller is banking on the middle lacking deep conviction about all of it (as I suggest)

The allegations cannot be beaten when they are—in fact—facts, my friend.

Don't make me come up there.

Ok, videos recorded, time to open a bottle of wine and lurk (actively) in some streams. 💖

Heads up: If you use Stream Deck with OBS make sure to update your Stream Deck software so your actions work!

(Realized as I was wondering why I couldn't show/hide my cam just now while recording.) 😅

In light of this scoop, I'm feeling a sudden urge to play Mafia 3. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJwQ...

I am working on a piece for a queer alt weekly about Rocky Horror’s legacy, and I’d love to speak with you about what the film means to you! If you’re interested in being a part of this, my DMs are open!
ptklein.com
The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened on US screens 50 years ago today. Initially a major box office bomb, cult cinema outsiders and queer audiences quickly took up the film’s mantle and turned it into a unique and exciting way of engaging with the movies. Remember kids, don’t dream it—be it!!

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Of course the grocery store I wanted to visit was closed for "deep cleaning". And then the wine store across the way was proudly saying "We're Open!" with the door locked and store empty—the lone (?) employee was in the back. (It isn't the first time this has happened.)

But I got things. I'm good.

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.”

… but what is plenary authority?

The Post laid off seemingly the remaining of their liberal-leaning staff members on Opinion last Thursday, when some of them were observing Yom Kippur.

Ok, several emails sent, several Teams messages answered, several meetings sat in on, and SEVERAL deep breaths.

I think a quick grocery run for dinner ingredients and perhaps a side trip for some wine might be on deck in the late afternoon, then recording a demo or two for YouTube.

I got this. 💖

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.

Oh. This movie is incredible, enjoy!
