Ok last Patreon push of the year. On January 1 this year, I set a goal of getting to 1000 paid Patreon supporters by the end of the year. Right now between my newsletter and Patreon, I'm at 883.

Will you help me hit my year end goal? I'm only 117 away. patreon.com/katelynburns

Was looking up a particular mecha and it still blows my mind that Google are happy to have this thing at the top of their search page that just completely makes things up and confidently states them to be true. There is no connection between these two things.

Add in 'negative' as well and you get 25%. That's still only 25% of Britons feel negatively towards trans people after a relentless decade of anti-trans propaganda.

11% of Britons say they feel 'very negatively' about trans people which just highlights how much this is a top-down hate project with around 95% of the media hating trans people and a high percentage of MPs.

I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Elementary is SO MUCH better than Sherlock it’s ridiculous.
After much consideration I have made the formal decision to rewatch the American procedural drama Elementary from the start. There will, of course, be times when I am compelled to compare it to the significantly inferior Sherlock but I will try and keep those outbursts to a minimum.

Starmer: we’re the economically serious party, the grown-ups in the room

Also Starmer: we’re happy to hit the economy by up to £10 billion to appease racists.

Thread. As I believe we’re still saying.
Somehow, Mr Bee has ended up on Reform's mailing list (I'm kind of hoping they're using the Electoral Roll) and this is the opening paras. It's confirmation bias for anyone already right-leaning, and horribly plausible for anyone not of an enquiring mind. So I had a cursory look at the claims. 1/

Not enough prominent people are calling this out and too many politicians and journalists in the mainstream media keep doing this.

Refugee = not illegal immigrant
Refugee = not criminal
Refugee = person fleeing persecution or conflict

This is a matter of law, not opinion.
The conflation of "foreign criminals" and "illegal migrants" is disgusting.

Vile when some people don't have a safe route to flee from the utter detestation & brutality of war.

It's all grim enough without the Labour Government pushing further misinformation.
The Home Office continues to use language that its own data refutes

Happy anniversary to the start of the greatest falling out in comics history. Full disclosure: I still love them both for very different reasons, issues and all.
Happy 60th birthday to the Silver Surfer!
Fantastic Four #48 came out on 9th December 1965. Stan Lee told Jack Kirby to have the FF "fight God" but when Jack brought the artwork in, "there, in the middle of the story was a nut on a flying surfboard. I thought, 'Jack, this time you've gone too far!'"

Really thrilled to learn that due to a huge outpouring of public support, Argonaut Books in the Edinburgh area will not have to compete with a Waterstones planned for around the corner. Kudos to Waterstones for listening and everyone on insta for being vocal. One of my very favorite UK bookstores.

I am running out of patience for progressives who still are on the ‘let’s change Labour from the inside!’ wagon because it’s clear that Labour are not even trying to appear to be a left-wing party.

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

I don't give a fuck if a refugee is working as a Deliveroo driver while they go through your gauntlet of pointless cruelties. These criminal gangs would be out of a job if you just opened up safe routes.

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.
"Woke is ruining D&D". Meanwhile Dimension 20, one of the wokest real play shows around, just sold out Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl for live shows and brings armies of new players to RPGs.

A lot of transphobic whataboutism is just straight up trying to make being a bigot sound like a legit position asked in good faith.

Nope, same old horseshit.

The Labour Government refused a 1% asset tax on the super rich, yet raised taxes on people already struggling.

All whilst their "black hole" turned out to be utter nonsense.

Active choices to refuse to fund our communities which they desperately need.
