It's the same problem as "childcare is insanely expensive and childcare providers are woefully underpaid" and the solutions on both counts are systemic not individual
not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

I’ll go even further: a lot of the white privilege that Ashkenazi Jews enjoy today is built on unstable socio-political terrain. The Third Reich built an entire legal system founded on the notion that we were Not White less than a century ago.
Jews are both a religion and a people.
They are racially diverse.
To categorize them as one race is not only inaccurate but dangerous.

I can’t promise that this is the first time a Canadian publisher of a beloved children’s book series has publicly condemned the bloodthirsty US secretary of defense’s use of its imagery to smirkingly defend heinous war crimes. I mean who can say.

You know, there was so much discourse around Ilya’s d*ck pic that the author felt compelled to weigh in, but I haven’t seen a single post about whose d*ck that actually was. Was it a body double? Was it a super realistic illustration? A stock photo? THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW (it’s me, I’m people)

James Gunn, man. I haven't seen a frame of the new Superman movie beyond what's in the trailers, but how can you not want to root for this dude. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...
![Q: How do you want to be remembered? Have you thought about this?
James Gunn: I don’t give a shit. I want to be remembered that I was nice to my family, that my family and friends love me, but I don’t believe in any of that shit. First of all, everything’s a sand castle. Somebody wrote me that the other day. “We have these problems, but that doesn’t last. What will be remembered forever is the movies.” I’m like, “No, it won’t. It’s just fucking disintegrating with everything else.” What I really do care [about is] that I’m good to my wife, and I really do care that I’m good to my friends and my brothers and my sister and my mom. I went to the funeral of one friend a few years ago, and he was split up from his wife, but he hadn’t treated her well, hadn’t treated his friends well. He had stood me up three times, supposed to meet me for lunch or something, and didn’t show up. Funerals are always sad, but I think there’s a kind of fulfilling sad where people are crying because they love somebody so much. And then there’s this sort of depressing sad, where it’s like he just disappointed everybody, and it’s really hard for people to say nice things. We loved him, but it was hard, and that really affected me. I’m like, “I don’t want my funeral to be that.” So I guess I really do think about it sometimes, but in terms of that: I want people to cry because I was good to them.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buy3qvqcj3o76leo6ap7pn2p/bafkreibiw5iug3diviwegs4q6dtplhu5vb4nehhkrqwzvnfbkrgksatj2e@jpeg)

I’m newly obsessed with Survivor despite never seeing a single ep until this May. I just started 47 and they introduced a self-admitted fish out of water contestant as “Jon, Podcast Host.” It’s a testament to the (erstwhile?) breadth of Cr00ked Media fandom that I immediately went “…wait. LOVETT?!”
