Cathy’s point is perfectly reasonable; it’s not about the intentions of the cis writer with his attempt at participating in the erotics of a queer movie, or the director who takes this dumb joke on the chin, but the link between the words & real, grim patterns of transmisogyny

I was a film critic and I actually supported We’re All Going to the World’s Fair with my writing back when it premiered at Sundance in 2021. Afaik Jane is still a longtime mutual of mine. I am not telling them how to feel, and it is within my right to be critical.

ANIMATED PETER LORRE IS IN COYOTE VS. ACME

Huge news for 15 people, including myself.

You'd think it would've been the audio of Hind Rajab, or silhouette of the person burning with the drip attached, or the half a child on the fence, or the body with hands shackled flattened by a tank. But what prompts an expression of the horror is the Express giving permission

3 pints empty stomach and have a 30 minute walk home ….. music is going to be listened to like it’s never been listened to before

"We all had a jolly good chuckle about it at the Spectator summer party" is a pretty neat summary of why this is happening

I’ve spent 15 yrs studying the Middle East. I speak Arabic. I have a PhD on the region. Gaza isn't “complex.” It’s ethnic cleansing—just easier to swallow when you rebrand it “nuanced geopolitics” and sneer at “naive middle-class idiots” for being rightly appalled.

"ChatGPT users had the lowest brain engagement and 'consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.' Over the course of several months, ChatGPT users got lazier with each subsequent essay, often resorting to copy-and-paste by the end of the study."

Tarantino frantically running out of his Tel Aviv apartment trying to carry twenty obscure b-movie VHS tapes as his pants fall down around his ankles

Fuck Tom Felton for his spinelessness, but also fuck that journalist for calling JK Rowling’s transphobia a “Twitterverse controversy.” What a disgusting way to refer to the violent hatred that she’s spewing towards the trans community, who she wants to eliminate from this earth.

This is nothing but propaganda. Calling it a "selfie yacht" when they were providing humanitarian aid because of a genocide you're committing

Israel killed over 250 people in the past 24 hours.
Mostly women and children

[Eyup Lovely @eyuplovely]

It is a juvenile reading of history to view Hitler as an aberration rather than one of countless men who—in his shoes—would also have exploited rising antisemitism and precarious peace in Europe for their own fascistic project culminating in a holocaust, such as Keir Starmer
