The phrase "trans activist" is goofy because like 95% of the time it's used it refers to a trans person simply existing.
Media, pointing at a woman buying a coffee: behold, a trans activist.
Woman: buying coffee is not activism stop being so fucking weird
Media: trans activist criticizes media

Blows my mind that networks are willing to cut budgets on shows with 200 episodes and counting (perfect for syndication, free OTT, and global sales) just to throw millions of dollars at 6 episodes of a prestige show that will vanish as soon as it premieres.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

Oh, man. Tom Noonan died? His performance as Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter is one of the most terrifying, mesmerizing I've ever seen in a film.

It’s so hard to have a reasonable conversation about AI, because people refuse to see the massive upsides of job elimination, higher electrical bills, hard drive shortages, poisoning black people in Memphis, and an economy where a handful of pedos with bad hair control your life

Ahem, you don't need Substack.
There are other options out there. I built my site for $33/month and own everything in an era when platforms come and go or say, accept Nazis.

Why am I just learning that there was a theme park (presumably?) that had costumed DinoSaucer performers...

Yep, that's me. On the left.
It was 1988 and it paid $100 a day. cc: @diane.dianeduane.com

Even this is a massive understatement of the actual costs, since all of those things require advance planning, paperwork, and (in some cases) scheduling document retrievals (often only possible during work hours). The cost doesn't have to be high in dollars to be a prohibitive tax on voters.
It costs $130 + a $35 facility fee to obtain a passport and an extra $30 for a passport card. In California, fees for certified copies of vital records are between $18 and $31 each. How is the SAVE Act not a poll tax?

Lent is coming. How about 40 days of spectral gaslighting and psychological torment?
I think one of our big problems is that we’re limiting Dickensian villain ghost visits to just one night a year like clearly the market can sustain some expansion

Silicon Valley is a cult.
Not something that looks like a cult, but an actual, literal, non-figurative, end-times death cult with direct historical ties to the maniac fringe of 20th century charismatic religious movements.
