The Federal Censorship Commission is abusing its power again. This time, Carr is waging Trump’s culture war by targeting programming that includes trans and nonbinary people. This censorship campaign is un-American and unacceptable. Trans rights are human rights.

I was going to make a joke about Guy Gardner being like “Am I a joke to you?” about that tagline, but Hal and Kyle would realistically answer that rhetorical question with a “Yes” so carry on.

I am very impressed by Invincible’s restraint in going much more somber and low-key for the finale this week after reaching its most bombastic levels last week.
It was not expected, but very much welcome.

Critics of new bill say Ohio women would be banned from sports bras, bikinis in public
'The peak of fear mongering.'
Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

It would never happen but I feel like I, or another talented writer, could do a lot with a feminist body horror reboot of Katie Ka-Boom from Animaniacs.

Once this trans girl I liked told me point blank that liking Star Wars and superhero stuff was a moral failing.
"Liking childish shit makes you a little pathetic. Lol" So I said "The Pokémon card collector that likes Bluey wants to lecture me about being childish?"
She blocked me.
