I do actually care marginally about the guy in that reddit screenshot who voted for Trump and is now worried that he might lose his medicaid funding because I did not fucking stutter when I said healthcare is a human right but the people losing their internships and job offers to the hiring freeze are straight up hilarious.

re: the dead wife trope, scavengers reign is truly the only show that did it well, simply because they made it as fucked up as possible. not only is your wife dead but your own hubris killed her and now you are going to have a symbiotic relationship with a psychic alien salamander who feeds you hallucinations of your dead wife. perfection

hate to be posting about this but so far any "summaries" of the shit trump did already fail to mention this detail, because americans are once again self-centered and dont give a shit about how their actions might influence the rest of the world, so i suppose i have to share it instead

Successful trans men
I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.

I cannot believe that Andor exists.
If you like Star Wars; if you don't like Star Wars; if you've watched every star war or none; you should watch this show.
Its message is timely, relevant and poignant. It's not pulling its punches literally at all when it talks about the rise of fascism, police brutality, the prison industrial system, and what it takes to resist authoritarianism. It's not all storm troopers and laser guns, it's cops in riot gear tasing and shooting civilians. And regular people figuring out that they can't keep ignoring what's going on; they have to do something.
It's also extremely engaging if you like political dramas at all (or heists or prison breaks or whatever).
Plus it's got Diego Luna's big doe eyes.

This might be Derek Guy's greatest masterpiece.
(The Twitter thread is probably easier to read and easier to look at the images, but I wanted to make sure it got preserved. Images are the tweets.)

There's a place just down the street where they chop off angel's wings and fry them in oil. You should try some. Oh, the angels? Yeah they're regular people now. Simultaneously their freedom of flight is ripped away from them violently and yet at the same time they are granted freedom from the yoke of divine subservience so it's bitter sweet for them or some gay shit like that. Anyways the wings are really good.

legit my dad was like “i really don’t like the concept of abortion and i wish it didn’t exist, but i’m not about to act like it’s my call” and then i pointed out “the entire concept of outlawing abortion is saying the government has more right over your body parts than you do and has the legal precedent required to take one of your kidneys at any time so long as there’s a single person in need of a kidney transplant” and he suddenly went extremely pro-choice so that’s an argument that never fails

"this work is problematic because of how it handles [subject]": reasonable premise for media criticism
"this work is problematic because it depicts [subject]": do not pass go do not collect $200 this is, as a general rule, a functionally reactionary and conservative argument
