Out of all the artists whose work I’ve enjoyed who turned out to be disgusting creeps, Gaiman is probably the most disappointing. He occupied such a unique position in storytelling, it’s a shame he had to ruin it.

Here’s hoping all the Colbert fans stop watching CBS entirely the moment he’s gone.

The evidence is literally above your post and was there three hours before you made it.

Girl and fish!!

You have trapped yourself in a cycle of craving and suffering.

I’ve never had a gumbo that engaged in apologetics for slavery or that was steeped in antisemitism. Must taste weird. What would you even do? Write on the rice?

Keep in mind, it’s also the series where one of the fascist teachers kills the retroactively gay character but had a good reason for doing so and is actually not a baddie at all.

I don’t see the words “irredeemable monster” anywhere other than in this post.

What it does mean is that they can’t be bothered to let Rowling’s behavior influence their decision making. When a so-called trans ally can’s stop waving around their Harry Potter merch, I question their conviction. If they can’t even abstain from helping to maintain the relevance and popularity of a property directly benefiting one of the most prominent transphobes on the planet, at what point will they stand up? Should I believe someone who can’t stop yapping about this franchise in front of me is suddenly going to shift their priorities if someone harasses me on the street?

I don’t expect that they’ll join in and actively make it worse, but I’d be a fool to look to them for support. It signals that they care more about convenience than they do putting their foot down about trans people being mistreated.

Do you know where in MA that is?

We must be so strange to other animals. I wonder how much of what we do they can make sense of.

No, What’s on second.

Always make sure to report to the user’s home instance in cases like these, and highlight that it’s an illegal modification of a copyrighted work to remove attribution.

I’d take it.

Imagine getting paid to produce shit like this.

Is it exceedingly uncommon to just read the material, not study beyond that, and still test well?

So Helldivers primes idiots to accept fascism and xenophobia? Maybe we should stop romanticizing authoritarianism in our entertainment.

I guess it could make sense to have a small computer in a Slurpee machine to check the temperature and the consistency of the ice, maybe do some maintenance, but yeah. Paper tags would make a lot more sense.

If you told me like fifteen years ago that eventually I wouldn’t care at all about new Star Wars stuff coming out I wouldn’t have believed you. Like, I looked forward to a sequel trilogy for decades, and even the Mandolorian was exciting. Somewhere between the lazy plot armor of Asoka and the fact that Acolyte turned the Jedi into nothing more than space cops it just stopped feeling like anything interesting or meaningful. Andor was cool, but not as cool as it would have been if the franchise still got me excited rather than just making me skeptical.

We should really just get rid of intellectual property laws. Or like, limit the rights to a decade or two.

How is that even worth the effort?
