i read the article
group of men approached, called her slurs and assaulted her
she drew a pistol with the safety on and finger off the trigger to scare them off
she is facing aggravated assault charges, the men got charged with nothing
self defense is illegal for minorities
This is exactly, EXACTLY my concern with the current state of our politics.
We need to trust that politicians are voting based on what they believe is best for the country — not blind loyalty or reelection pressure.
If Bill Cassidy is only switching his vote on this critical War Powers Resolution after losing his primary, that's a freaking problem.
The President has way too much power over Congress.
Friendly reminder that the creators of disco Elysium cannot utilize their own IP because an investor gained 51% ownership of the company using a backend deal that the creators weren’t made aware of by selling himself a scrap of paper with a doodle on it for $1 and then selling that back to the company for 5 million euro and then systematically firing the people that created the world disco is in from 10+ years before as a modified D&D campaign. ALL of them.

It's a dream come true that I get to announce I'm producing a Bloodborne R-Rated Animated Movie with Sony. I can't say much else about it yet but I will pour everything I have into this!
news outlets and reddit have banned the internet archive’s access to preserving their content bc they’re afraid AI will scrape it. if the archive — essentially a modern day library of alexandria — falls, it will be another casualty of the AI bubble. it’s collateral damage
hey guys, a lot of you might be familiar with walkingmelonsAAA/spectroliteAAA and her timeless undertale paintings from years ago... she's currently in a terrible financial situation and needs help before she basically gets evicted 😭 now's a great chance to support her..!!
this makes it sound like there'll be a shortage of insulin, but it's literally just that the prices are so high that people won't be able to afford the shit they need to survive
The show won't work. It'll collapse, or be cancelled.
Essiedu (Snape) is already receiving death threats before a single episode has aired. An Italian actress has been cast as Parvati Patil, a canonically Indian character. Stanton's parents had to disable all of their daughter's social media within an hour of her casting announcement due to racism and, again, death threats. She is eleven years old and already articles dissecting her skin colour have since been written.
The cast is already fracturing. Lithgow nearly quit over Rowling. Nick Frost publicly distanced himself from her views. Essiedu signed an open letter supporting trans people, while playing a character in a show exec produced by Britain's most prominent anti-trans voice.
The show is also biannual, not annual. Season one arrives Christmas 2026. Deathly Hallows, if they get there, lands around 2040. John Lithgow will be 95, almost guaranteeing he'll die during filming, much like Richard Harris died aged 72 after just two films.
The story itself is a now a logistical trap. A Black Snape being hung upside down by the Marauders, spending years fighting for blood purity, then dying for the cause of a white woman he loved. Those scenes cannot be written cleanly anymore. Every choice will generate a fresh brand new controversy from absolutely every angle and political sphere.
This franchise requires a sustained decade of audience goodwill to function. That goodwill simply does not exist anymore, as her base is now the most vitriolic, toxic abusers, a narrative at some point (if not already, seemingly) HBO Max will have to adresss.
The three child leads have not signed long-term contracts. What happens when they're 18, 19, 20, with fully formed opinions about the woman whose name is on the tin?
The magic is a dead horse.
They:
> invalidate trans people’s IDs
> take away trans healthcare
> force detransition trans people in prisons
> want ICE to transvestigate and arrest people
> put trans people on lists
> abuse and assault trans people
ngl.. I don’t care about women’s sports atp
I feel like a lot of people fail to understand that JKR is not just a bigot
She is an anti-trans ACTIVIST, she is actively using her influence & wealth to strip away rights and protections for trans people.
She's not just passively holding her own views, she is dangerous
