Everything else aside, is the older I get and the more we live in a dystopia the harder it is to ignore that Firefly is fundamentally a lost cause narrative.

I don't want to root for the confederates.

People use β€œdancing about architecture” as a metaphor for using the wrong medium for the message like they’ve never seen a mime trapped in an invisible box.

Hundreds in Minneapolis Protest the War on Iran "From Iran to Palestine, stop the U.S. war machine," chanted hundreds in Minneapolis on Feb. 28 during an emergency anti-war protest against the US and Israeli war on Iran.

"[O]ur enemy is not the people of Iran."

"Our enemy are the parasitic billionaires that are running this country."

"'From Iran to Palestine, stop the U.S. war machine,' chanted the crowd of hundreds."

First reported by @decaturish.bsky.social, GA State Sen. Elena Parent will not seek reelection.

In 2025, Parent, who represents one of the most progressive districts in the South, east of Atlanta, dared a trans parent to find someone to challenge her for reelection in a recorded anti-trans screed:

Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings.

Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.

No matter how gross the art is, it’s not CSAM. I know it’s vile. I know your want everyone to know how gross the person who made it is.

But when you intentionally mix up these terms you harm actual children by diverting attention and resources away from material that exploits them.

Im astonished that so many people are actually surprised that trumps regime change plan failed.

Did you actually believe a guy who hates trans people would actually have a transition plan?

Indiana’s Anti-Trans Attorney General is Preparing to Revoke Trans People’s Documents Indiana AG Todd Rokita has been compiling a list of his state’s trans people. Following in Kansas’ footsteps, he’s quietly laying the groundwork to declare their IDs β€œfalsified records.”

Will Indiana be the next state to invalidate drivers licenses and IDs for trans residents?

@transitics.substack.com spoke with government employees from various states about the capabilities of their bureaucracy. She identified Indiana as the most likely state to follow Kansas. Worth a read.

I really just want to call it a blog and not a newsletter

Can we go back to that

Can we be honest

Once again begging people to stop using the term CSAM to refer to content that does not include images of real children or their likenesses.

The whole reason we have that term is to identify content that features actual children so the appropriate steps can be taken.

W GAC there's no evidence of harm. The drugs remain legal for other uses, including for precocious puberty where the benefits are psychosocial

Chotiner: So Friday Night Lights is your favorite tv show?

Me: definitely. One of the best ever.

Chotiner: So you’re a big fan of season two, i take it.

Me: Well, I don’t know about that.

Chotiner: But you think, and i’m quoting you here, it’s β€œone of the best ever”?

Me. No, Isaac. No. Hang on.

while we're on the subject: there is no online echo chamber that is within an order of magnitude as politically, socially, and epistemic ally distorting as the average red state affluent suburb. there are masses that yearn for your ministry, reach out to them!

on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day

this is weak

he was clearly advocating for abandoning trans people because doing the right thing makes normies uncomfortable, yet neither he nor the interviewer can acknowledge that

I'm thinking of bans on previously available care, not barriers to introducing new treatments. Caims of poor evidence hold up new treatments, but once a treatment is on the market I'm not aware of any being restricted bc of claims the evidence wasn't high quality, only for evidence of harm.

I mean, I agree it should be disqualifying - but I don't live in Maine and it doesn't seem to be disqualifying for Maine voters, and they're the ones who get a say. I disapprove of their not taking it more seriously, but that's all I can do.

"Probably not that great a guy/gal" includes basically anyone who wants to be a US Senator. If I lived in Maine I wouldn't vote for Platner in a primary but I wouldn't hesitate to do so in a general election vs Collins.

I think Graham Platner lied about his tattoo, has terrible judgement, and Maine deserves better. I doubt that he's a Nazi. I think it's reasonable to hope he'll be a better senator than Susan Collins.

I would really like to live in a world where you can like or dislike someone without it meaning you endorse/hate everything about them and their work and that you're declaring yourself on team For or Against that person.

Felt like I was going insane watching people accept an AI model's explanation for why that same AI model committed a war crime.

Such an important point!!! They also never called for bans on my off-label medical care for long COVID.
