I don’t get it, why does making art become unsatisfying when you remove the part where your brain works and is rewarded with a sense of accomplishment

Transphobia seems to break people's brain in a uniquely catastrophic way.
I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.
So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Soon it will be time for me to be annoying about the Albert Finney Scrooge movie from 1970. "He actually goes to Hell at the end of the Future segment! It's a really impressive setpiece" I'll say. Things like that.

I'm happy for Reg even though we often end up going out for the same roles.

It's not often I have strong secondhand embarrassment for a corporation but these Southwest commercials advertising assigned seating on their flights like it's something we've all been waiting for? 😬😬

"I don't understand how you can be such a worrier but still procrastinate all the time"
That's because you're an amateur who doesn't know how to worry with the big boys, I fear.

A Nosferatu/'Salem's Lot corpse-style vampire can have long fingernails. That makes sense. A recluse European castle vampire who grew them out? Fine. But you don't get retracting fingernails just because you have retractible fangs. Nails aren't bones, only teeth! You aren't Wolverine from X-Men.

A friend sent me a picture of Kate Bush dressed as a bat because they thought I would enjoy it. I wish it occurred to me to do spontaneous things like that for my friends because it was such a nice thing to do and of course I enjoyed it.

Supervillain pitch: Mister Mondegreen. He has the power to conjure weapons, allies, etc by mishearing what people say so the only way to defeat him is to overenunciate and speak slowly. Like if someone asks "What are you doing?" he goes "WATER?!" and summons a tidal wave.

Has anyone tried shaming the Christians for being so ideologically inconsistent? Maybe that will work! The problem could be that our state religion is being deliberately misinterpreted by a few bad actors.

PSA: Fully fleshed out stories with confirmed details do not appear instantaneously. Reporters must get information, confirm it and then write it up in an article that then needs to be edited prior to publication. Everyone is working as fast as possible I assure you.

The way he wrote Geordi in his Star Trek books only underscored what skimpy material LeVar Burton was usually given on the show. His X-Factor was filled with disregarded D-list mutants, only for David to unlock them. This page from X-Factor 87 completely changed how everyone looked at Quicksilver.
