Every single person who spent more than a few hours in American concentration camps will be owed restitution. I think a concentration camp stay conferring automatic permanent legal status is a good starting point, and the least of what these people deserve.
If we get to the justice and reparations phase and I hand over all my data and y’all decide we’re only gonna bring the people with no convictions back, I’m gonna be so fucking pissed, I cannot even tell you.
If you respect my work, respect my view that we need to invite EVERYONE back.

This is one of the critical questions in culture work generally, right now. The far right cultural-influence project currently has a bottomless well of funding; we don’t and won’t because billionaires are what they are. How do we counter, limit, disincentivize, redirect the force of that?
The right-wing grift is a very lucrative path for both washed-up celebrities and C-list athletes, it's no wonder it's attractive for them.
I think the bigger problem is whether the money spigot of bigotry has an end, or if there's a way to stop it from being so lucrative.

Included with 1993 point 'n' click adventure game Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is a neat 'Making Of' video showcasing its Hollywood voice cast.
Behind the scenes at Sierra On-Line HQ where we get some prime Tim Curry being, well, Tim Curry at his smoothest.

Full-cal sodas are empty calories but charged with positive spiritual energy. Conversely, each time I drink a Coke Zero I know the ease of infinite consumption has put me on a dark and twisted path. “A vice with no consequences is no vice—it is the sandbox of cowards” - the Buddha i think

One year. Zero cigarettes.
Not a single one. Have almost never even experienced a craving. I’ve been so happy to have moved past them, I was overdue when I quit. Feeling good. :)

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

Just gonna say, as the author of the 2021 report, I stand by every single thing I wrote
center for american progress (2021): "Trans inclusive policies "which allow transgender athletes to compete in accordance with their gender identity, should be implemented nationwide."
Center for american progress in (2026): "restrictions may be appropriate under some circumstances"

Yep we need to die in this hill. Intentionally misgendering someone is transphobic, doing to repeatedly in a workplace is harassment.
Good. Look, if it is a genuinely honest error, most people I know, including myself, aren't going to make a fuss beyond maybe a gentle clarification first time. If people wilfully misgender trans and non-binary individuals though they absolutely should face misconduct proceedings.
