21st century problems: some while ago Carplay updated and now the "done" button in Messages that used to turn into "don't reply" after a few seconds turns into "call" after a few seconds so if you go to dismiss it and aren't fast enough you end up in a phone call.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Billionaires are investing millions of dollars to confuse and mislead us about the Pennsylvania Supreme Court election. Why? Because they understand how high the stakes are. That's why its so important to educate ourselves about this election and make sure we’re registered to vote by Monday October 20th! #votepa #pacourts #pacourts2025 #theleuguepartner @leadwithleague @vote.paView all comments

He is purposefully seeking a regime in which he can do and say anything to anyone and nobody is allowed to hold him accountable, either in the courts or by writing about it in any place.
This is what he is trying to do.

And I need to remind you that in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against Trump, he appealed—and is planning to appeal to SCOTUS—that he should not be subject to civil damages because of presidential immunity.

This lawsuit is asking to be a vehicle for overturning NYT v. Sullivan (which established the actual malice we know and love for public figures).
It is a request to overturn longstanding precedent that allows us to criticize our politicians and remove our free speech.

So this Trump lawsuit is wacko for many, many reasons, but THIS IS NOT WHAT ACTUAL MALICE MEANS in the legal context. At all.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.
