🔞pro-ship. ngl, i'm mainly here to vent negativity and rubberneck dumb arguments. fandom, politics, obnoxious pedantry, horny nerd shit. Liberals and Democrats are Good, Actually.
lol we do not have the juice. which is why i love it here
this is disappointing, as a fan of his. wonder if it would be worth it to have some kind of open letter, addressed to the cast and crew, and employees of HBO/WB, laying out in simple language, with citations, how JKR uses her money to essentially write anti-trans legislation

not only am i currently not successful at what i wanted to do with my life but i think what i really want is to have had the success in an alternate, more woke version of 2004-8, and to have had my audience be the Livejournal side of Stargate Atlantis fandom.

the anger i feel at ICE officers is... i just...
good stuff. i think this is built into our DNA, unfortunately. we need stories and heroes. pressing that need down... idk if that is the answer. we need a healthy way to channel this into fiction and only fiction. unless that doesn't fill the need.
the Trending tab on desktop/Firefox looks different. prob AI summaries. i guess this isn't the WORST use case. tho on Threads those are wrong constantly
long, fascinating
sidebar but if that headline I (maybe mis?)read as "sorry SNW S3 was weird, we'll dial it back" was a placating lie, 1) good; 2) it's making me wonder about what kind of PR strategies creative teams will take going forward now that we've had about a decade or so of internet fandom's amplification

it's illegal to have consensual sex in prison? what the fuck?

i know this means i'm broken inside but do you ever watch true crime or Queer Eye or something featuring red state folks who are likely MAGA (white, straight, cis) & yr empathizing w/ the horrible things these ppl have suffered but a little voice goes "did this person vote to put kids in cages?"
no one's gonna enjoy this headline Stocks and the Economy Are Increasingly Relying on the A.I. Boom www.nytimes.com/2026/07/22/b...
watching x-men 97 and it's so trippy and wild. it never made sense to me that it's part of the same universe as Spidey and the Fantastic Four and the Avengers and all the other cosmic stuff, it should be its own thing
funny and disturbing. there are just whole factories of slop out there doing stuff i have no idea about www.patreon.com/MaxRead/post...

this whole thread is glorious
LRT i actually don't agree with "fire all employees" if she means "every person working for the federal govt", like no my IT buddy at NASA is not the problem but agree with the rest of it
it is kind of wild how short a timespan there is for what we would consider "good" journalism, measured against the span of human history
guys, i know you're busy saving democracy and stopping fascism and that's great. but i need to know: was the soundtrack to Swimfan (2002) really Like That? or were there music rights issues that affected whichever version I watched?
this is interesting. Napster & Limewire were my entry point into stealing & digital hoarding and on the one hand, in retrospect Lars, who we all yelled at, was right, it destroyed the middle class of artists bc it led to iTunes and then Spotify www.pigeonsandplanes.com/read/music-p...
we gotta stop calling them "live action Disney remakes". Brett Arnold ( www.youtube.com/@themoviesag... ) is right, they're still animated! Just in an uglier style! We gotta call them "Shitty Roger Rabbit."
my uterus is like some kind of pro-natalist Clippy. "Hey. Hey! Are you sure you don't wanna get pregnant?" "Yes, Clippy. For the thousandth time. NO." "Okay! Time to make you cramp while I tear chunks out of your uterine walls and have it all ooze out of your vagina!" "I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS."
if you find out this is happening, isn't it your moral and ethical duty to look the other way? to nod and say, "yep, they're gay, let them in"? instead of doing this?
