Heretic Pride by The Mountain Goats feels very relevant to me as a trans person in America in 2025. @themountaingoats.bsky.social

Dear Google,

The search engine worked better before the AI summary. Please get rid of it.

Make no mistake, the US government is actually shut down because of the Epstein files.

It's pretty weird that Absolute Batman by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta is possibly the best Batman comic I've ever read while at the same time the new Matt Fraction and Jorge Jimenez run on Batman is... fine enough?

My level of hype for each before coming out was the inverse.

Right "libertarians" can somehow say that "no human right requires the labor of another" with a straight face, when they know full well that every human starts as a baby.

Anything less than universal salvation for all humanity means Jesus failed and is a failure.

I think people are focusing too much on quoting specific things Charlie Kirk SAID, as though his greatest misdeed was to have/express bad beliefs.

Kirk was a fascist propagandist.That's what TPUSA DOES. They spread fascism. That's their purpose. And that's why the world is better off without Kirk.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social I have a lore question about the new DCU:

When did metahumans start wearing costumes?

Obviously, by the time of The Suicide Squad, this is just an established part of the world. But how long has this been a thing? The costumes, codenames, and gimmicks?

I will not cry for a dead fascist.

Christianity is inherently anticapitalist.

I'm calling it now: Auggie Smith is still racist in the other universe. And this is actually some version of something like Earth X.

#Peacemaker @jamesgunn.bsky.social You owe me a boon if I am right, haha.

I was actually enjoying the new season of Strange New Worlds, but "What Is Starfleet?" was maybe the single worst episode of Star Trek I've ever seen.

I hated that.

It should be illegal to advertise gambling with any kind of appeal to magical thinking.

This is fucking ghoulish.
I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

One of the highly specific problems of communicating in support of Palestine is that the general public has been so conditioned to accept that the issue is "complicated" that they will intuitively resist any attempt to understand how shallow the Zionist position really is.

I take it back. I enjoyed watching Fantastic Four, but the more I think about it, the more I actually think I hate it
July 29, 2025 at 2:33 AM
Fantastic Four is one of those movies where I have to keep clarifying that I liked it when I am describing it.

I often find myself missing the days when superhero comics were a niche thing that I was into and most people didn't know enough to even have opinions on my favorite characters or stories, before the MCU and endless speculation "content".

And then I see a James Gunn movie, and it feels pretty good.

With the context from Superman that The Mighty Crabjoys are a pop punk band not respected by punk music snobs, Eric's shirt is now a joke.

Stalking The Bride at an underground punk venue where Gogol Bordello are playing, he picked up like a Sum 41 at shirt at Hot Topic to try and blend in.

Superman was a 9.5 out of 10. And that 0.5 is mostly knocked off because they kinda did Angie Spica dirty. They should have just called this character Mercy Graves and given her the nanotechnology.

I cannot be clearer about this.
If you don't stand against ICE you're a pathetic loser.

And if you do stand against them, arm yourself.

This is America.
we stand against tyrants and we stand against nazi's

Be ready to protect the lives of our people, no matter the color of their skin.

If you ever find yourself in the mood to have every single emotion in a relatively short period of time, I recommend watching The Life of Chuck.
