! Trans creators and activists are being targeted by the FBI. One, Tara, was told she was “propagating radical gender ideology” and “domestic terrorism.”

Rose’s analysis: the feds are targeting politically engaged trans people to find something “illegal” to “make an example out of us.”

A weird thing about my employer is it's a tech company with a fairly cohesive musical identity so big company events have a very on point soundtrack.

i think a lot of people are crashing out because they know what needs to happen but it's illegal to talk about it lmao
across two (2) platforms/networks, i've observed over the past ~72 hrs everyone having a total Tower of Babel meltdown at each other due to, idk, added geopolitical stress

some people are very wrong, some people deserve some modicum of grace anyway, & everyone is reading hastily/making assumptions

Portland also having a Mayor Wilson is gonna keep giving me jump scares
Mayor Wilson sent an email to city councilors Tuesday saying the city will begin enforcing 120-day stay limits at its alternative shelter sites. The rules are intended to incentivize people into using the emergency shelter system to obtain housing, despite the lack of available affordable housing.

If this happens to a child you love you need to remember that RFK did this, but also that every single Republican voter has your kids blood on their hands.
this is what RFK Jr wants btw. he wants dead children from preventable disease.
i have so many pictures of baby headstones now. i should make a photo book or them or something

People don't talk about it enough but divorce is downstream of a lot of poisonings.

Men think they're invincible, they aren't

I think on a long enough horizon consequences are inevitable. Maybe legal, maybe not.

The truth is most laws are a response to harsher extrajudicial consequences and I feel like we're veering towards a world where vigilantism is going to be needed.

That's bad, btw, that's a social regression
X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

Dissolve the fucking union. Why do we pay taxes at this point.

Id never fight for the US but I would sign up to defend Washington from the inbred Nazis in Idaho
The Trump administration sent out letters tonight to 5 blue states, freezing about $10 billion in funding for child care and social services programs pending a "thorough review," citing concerns over "systemic fraud."
5 Democratic-run states are told that their child care funds have been frozen
The suspension of the funds could hurt low-income families in those states, depending on how long it lasts, advocates say.

They also shifted all the outside shots browner. Look at the white trucks. It all looks wrong!

Bro they're talking about bloods and crops.

This is West Texas what the fuck are you talking about

I need to preface this by saying IM FROM THE PERMIAN BASIN

All of these Mexicans are from LA and they sound wrong

Man Landman fucking sucks. It's "based" on Boomtown, a VERY GOOD podcast about oil in West Texas which focuses on the people.

This shit opens with pure racism and a characiture of the region.

Fucking trash, I hate these people

DS9 starting to serialize things feels mundane now but was a big deal (Babylon 5 too)

God FMJ rocks. The final march of capitalism to Mickey Mouse is crazy. I'm convinced it's initial negative reception is due to Americans being unwilling to engage with our own evils

Sprawl is hard, I think. People don't respect TNG or Stargate writers enough. Sure, some of the episodes were BAD but 24 interesting ideas a year is crazy

The Science or Magic or whatever is about telling a specific type of story and "how does the magic work" doesn't matter.

Like, I love a rich magic system, I've engaged with D&D for decades, but if the story is about the people, we don't need 50% runtime on the magic. Just focus on the people.
January 7, 2026 at 3:47 AM
Yeah, I think one of the worst parts of modern TV is people want to hyper analyze and find "Conclusive absolute truth" and decode what's coming.

If the show is a mystery, and they can do that, Dope. Fun. Cool. But a lot of media isn't about the science or mystery totally cohering.

Julius Streicher is an example for what needs to happen to America's Der Stormer press.
"Marco Rubio, we salute you!"

A real thing that was said by the CBS Evening News anchor tonight.
January 7, 2026 at 3:41 AM
I said this elsewhere, but this is a common part of the Social Media Exec playbook. "We will follow the laws", meanwhile no laws cover the new evil shit they're doing, and they lobby against laws.

Musk is playing the game -- he knows AI revenge porn is mostly legal in the US.

Part of this is also Runtime. Lost was cursed with 24 episode seasons. That's so much space to fill.
January 7, 2026 at 3:29 AM
The Audience doesn't care either. Because that's never been what the show was. It only asked "did god do this" in the context that the characters screamed "DID GOD DO THIS?!".

It feels more honest and I found it much less frustrating. (And to be clear, I enjoyed both Lost and BSG)
