Re-post. This GOP attack ad is in heavy rotation during NFL games.

TERF Soren Aldaco says Ohio's Sherrod Brown "supports sex changes for minors, irreversible surgery on kids like me.”

1. Aldaco has never lived in Ohio.

2. She had her surgery in Texas. So blame them.

3. She was 19, not a "kid."

Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor.

Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys.

It grossed $17m

Here's a bit of David's acting:

Wow!
Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

Screw this parasite.

He never once acknowledged the comics artists whose work he stole. His foundation, which makes many millions every year, has refused to offer a penny in royalties.

If you bought THE DISSIDENTS on Amazon (no judgement), please take the time to leave a review. It's ridiculous I know, but it's really important.

Ditto Goodreads.

And I thank you.

Just played on MeTV. One of the early proto-Bugs shorts, HARE-UM SCARE-UM from 1939. Directed by Ben Hardaway & Cal Dalton. After this short, both were demoted back to animators by hated boss Leon Schlesinger. Some gratitude!

The personality and voice are all wrong. Bugs is more like Daffy here.

This feels like a very unnecessary box set. The STORY of the 101ers and the pre-punk era in London is really interesting. Their MUSIC? Not so much. You hear it & it's no mystery why Joe quit them w/o warning & joined up with MIck & Paul. The Strummer 001 box has the few 101ers songs anyone needs.

Televangelist Jim Bakker-- seen here bawling as the FBI drags him away-- finally kicked the bucket. Age 86. WHY do these creeps never die young?

He and his gruesome wife Tammy Faye were the faces of Christian Nationalism in the 1980s.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager
