Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.

3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.

4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.

It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.

Story to come.

And not just conservative pundits.

An extensive, noxious NPR segment with a wealthy lawyer/academic depicting the most reactionary parts of "the middle 50%" as the real working class, ignoring money and power and featuring extensive crypto-terf rants from the host comes immediately to mind.
Working class life and culture were complicated, *are* complicated, but they absolutely weren't (and aren't) some reactionary fantasia.

Gentry pundits take the right-wing swaths of the middle and upper-middle classes, project them outwards and erase the rest. It's propaganda.

WTF happened to “self deportation”?
According to a memo from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Trump administration plans to deploy immigration agents to the U.S.–Mexico border to arrest undocumented migrants trying to return home voluntarily during the holidays.

my prediction for the IT Welcome to Derry S3 finale is that Ingrid saves Bob, IT never becomes Pennywise, and they show every era in the Pennywise free timeline including Bill Hader coming back as Richie to marry Eddie with Marge and Rich Santos at the wedding. Not joking. Dec 15 2025 here folks

it's good that people who work for ICE are being ostracized by their communities and confronted at their churches. that's actually what living in a society is

any time you're told to use AI at work, turn your work in about half as fast and pepper it with obvious mistakes. if nobody cares, you have less to do, and if they do, you can tell them you'll never use AI at work again

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly:

- DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems
- Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

They’re not really PhD students, or if they are they invent things. This guy found a couple who seem determined to be victims of AI shaming, which is interesting in itself, but I’ve seen others whose whole deal is productivity but their tips are bad and clearly not from a recent student.

Who are all these grinning white people laughing at Trump's vile racism? h/t to @helenkennedy.bsky.social for pulling together a list. Shame on each & every one of them.

Just off the top of my head, Carol Kane gets you Annie Hall, Dog Day Afternoon, Scrooged, Carnal Knowledge, Princess Bride, Joe vs. the Volcano, Ishtar, Addams Family, Kimmy Schmidt and Taxi ...

Not saying she's the obvious #1 pick but she's an underrated heavyweight for something like this
This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

I’m taking Cate Blanchett: Talented Mr. Ripley, LOTR, Life Aquatic, Black Bag, Tár, Ponyo, Hot Fuzz, Eyes Wide Shut, Thor

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

Yes, it eats history.
Jesus Christ, the "remastered" Beatles Anthology documentary they re-released is filled with AI slop. Look at John and Paul's faces, and the "T" on Beatles.

The current wave of extreme-right in Germany is using the term as well. Be suspicious of anyone throwing it around.
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.
