Gail Simone started her career by finding creative and clear ways to say "that's some real bullshit." She's never stopped since then and I wouldn't want her to.
I am not complicit.

"Trans activists are too mean and angry."
Well we spent the last 8 years being as polite as possible while arguing for our rights and humanity. You didn't listen. Why would we keep doing the thing that didn't work?
If you're not going to fix your heart, I advise you at least get out of the way.

Honestly the discourse really is just a lot of cis people going "won't you trannies just accept you are less than human scum that don't matter and throw yourselves on the pyre for me". You can dress it in fancy words but a ban on trans healthcare will kill trans people & you demand we support it

I got to meet the one and only @gailsimone.bsky.social and she was just as lovely as I’d hoped.
Even got to tell her the first work of hers I always think of is this line from Agent X: “for the sake of my sex life, you must DIE!”

With the fourth episode I’d say that Strange New Worlds is about 50/50 on quality for this season so far. That’s me saying this one is pretty good.

There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival.
Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on.

I *really* hate YouTube's new view count. Going by views my last video did decently for me at 27K. But comparing the expected payout for it the projected earnings at more in line with a 10K video.
This is such a transparent way for them to try and inflate their view numbers for their benefit alone.
