A gentle suggestion that the correct response to any right-wing tool going on about Rama Duwaji's boots is "go fuck yourself," additionally that "go fuck yourself" is the correct response to any right-wing attempt at DARVO or distraction. It's easy and fun and all they deserve in 2026 and beyond.

Hollywood cozied up to AI in 2025 and had nothing good to show for it
Hollywood bet big on generative AI slop in 2025.

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

Hard to express how much I love this.
Twitter is the Nazi site for Nazis. Delete it, ESPECIALLY if you're a famous person or political leader.
Abughazaleh does a great job explaining that it's also TRASH and doesn't even let you reach your audience.
Get the hell off.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

And
I hate to say it
But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas
Quit.
