When I saw this headline, I thought "Wow, a major newspaper taking the anti-trans purges seriously", only to find an article which presents fascist rhetoric against our existence without context and minimizes our being driven from public life as "hurdles". www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/04/t...
In what world does a judge allow a defendant to make a circus of their courtroom and use the trial as an opportunity to harass their victims with god damn SANDWICH BOARDS
You are the king You are the You! Are! THE KING!
Can we please understand what is happening? He is disarming us as a prelude to our extermination. And making us mentally unfit to own firearms as a matter of law will exclude us from all manner of legal rights. www.cnn.com/2025/09/04/p...
To those wondering: 1) No, despite the tint in the image this is NOT AI slop. 2) This is from 2019, which is how I know. 3) The artist is kitt.st.jones on Instagram. 4) Yes, there's more of this story if you visit their profile.
A conservative group has gotten thousands of games from marginalized creators de-indexed for ill-defined reasons. mobilesyrup.com/2025/09/04/c...
oh wow another hobby silo found a way to make up a term more irritating than "4th party transformers" I genuinely did not think I would see the day
Vampires are pretty common (I collect vampire cards and run an all vampires deck), but "villain" is new to this set, and "scientist" has really only been used for Universes Beyons sets since Doctor Who with maybe 3 exceptions.
Selectively revoking constitutional rights for vulnerable minority groups is a GIGANTIC red flag. The reddest possible flag.
Oh HELL yes
It's not QUITE Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but it's getting close.
Gonna morb all over my table.
it's it's... it's morbin time
Twitter is owned by a neo-Nazi, the LA Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal are owned by pro-Trump billionaires, and CBS News will soon be run by a far-right Likud extremist. American media still has a liberal bias problem.
Taking a break from Magic posting to say: The current administration is trying to taking away the legal personhood status of at least two marginalized groups (immigrants, trans folks) in an attempt to make it so the law doesn't apply. We can't be okay with reps throwing them further under the bus.
Outstanding news that should be shared.
I love how the places under siege by the federal government seem like the coolest places in America, while republican cities are like "sex and music are illegal"
The bar for Carney was so low. Satan was doing limbo with that bar and yet...
Spent five minutes staring at this trying to work out what it had reminded me of. Realised it was this horrifying passage from George Orwell’s 1984.
I’ve said it before, but something that has worked for me when dealing with liberals who are “just concerned” about trans participation in sports is to tell them “congrats, Chris Rufo thinks you’re a useful chump”
Courage the Cowardly Dog has been removed from HBO Max and is unavailable on other streaming services, making it inaccessible unless you pay per episode on Amazon. This is why physical media is king.
Gonna make a game about curling, just to spite everyone. It's gonna be a gay dating sim, but it's set during a very short period of time so I can call it "Hurry Harder".
I would be remiss if I didn't add The Thread, a list of hundreds of trans authors, mostly indie or self-published, that Abra Conwell has maintained for the past year and a half
Hi! I created a queer Portland rock band magical girl novel series with a trans protagonist and multiple other trans characters and folks sure seem to like it. 😊 it’s at magicariot.com
Hi! I write all kinds of boos, but the favorite thing I've done is a cute, short graphic novel about a cis girl and a trans girl who join the cheerleading team and fall in love! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/cheer-up-c...
I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!
Oh look. When you fight instead of capitulating, you can have your funding restored.
StAS is a highly underrated series that features one of the best portrayals of Superman ever. It gives him depth, wit, charm, but also a deep kindness. Yes, Clancy Brown is iconic as Lex, but Tim Daly gave an EXCEPTIONAL performance as Superman.
That man looks WAY too bored to be riding a weaponized jetpack into battle.

"Gang, has a man ever made you so mad that you shit so hard that a giant red monster erupted from your skin?"
When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk
Boiling milk before use was just what you did. They had dedicated cookware for it. (Specially shaped to contain boil-overs, which milk is really prone to.) Household hygiene had SERIOUSLY high stakes back before hot running water & pasteurization. That's… like… why they taught home economics.
I wrote last November about the threat of the US as a rogue state in a second Trump administration. "Rogue actions on the part of America have already been replicated around the world, in the language and programs used by Russia and China to suppress civilian populations in the name of terrorism."
always saying this
least shocking Kid in the Hall to turn out to be a bigot, tbh
So what happens when they start declaring groups within the US as terrorists? www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...
Luis Guzmán is a gift.
Canadians, this is a parliamentary petition, not a random online thing. Takes a minute to sign. An easy good deed for the day.

Reminds me that I came across a Kamen Rider Fourze/Shin Chan crossover
Absolutely evil strategy. I love it.
omg nevermind I take back what I said about not liking any of the villain cards. This is perfect.
Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.
“They just see us as little toy soldiers to put on the street to show some muscle.” Alex, a National Guard recruiter who requested anonymity to speak freely, told Mother Jones that the DC mission has deterred potential recruits and pushed soldiers to their breaking points.

Okay, want a concrete example of this? When Eric Nam, a Korean-American celebrity, was cast as the voice of adult Aang, a lot of people were upset that they had cast a "Zionist" in the role. You see, he had liked a post that condemned violence against both Palestinians and Jews. In October 2023.
The Republican "take credit for legislation you oppose" vs the Democrat "be outraged about legislation you supported"
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net
If you promise to kill Glonzo, people will notice and be angry when you haven’t yet killed Glonzo despite the fact that killing Glonzo is impossible because Glonzo does not exist.
I have gotten in hot water for using the term "failed state" to describe the US as there are historical conditions that have to be met for the term to be accurate, so let's just say we're in the on-deck circle
Legitimately, a Defenders/Heroes for Hire set would be INCREDIBLE.

MAGICA RIOT SAYS
I want Spider-Man sets that are just the delightful non-hero, non-villain cards. Pictures of Spider-Man, J Jonah Jameson, Supportive Parents, that pigeon...absolute triumphs of design. I am less interested in the Spiders People.
Look, I just want to recreate the experience of trying to play with an old school starter deck where you got random cards and random lands. (this format is inferior to my Holiday Gift Exchange format idea with 100 sleeved tokens that you have to draw from and then gift to another player each round)
Is that the Will everyone keeps telling me to fire at? Because he looks real easy to shoot in this.
I have just come up with a truly horrendous Magic the Gathering format idea that has no place on anyone's table: No one plays lands, everyone plays any combination of colors, everyone draws from a communal deck of only lands and just tries to make it work. I call it "Land Grab".
[sarcastically] Boy I sure do love how OneDrive warns me whenever I delete lots of files at once, with no option to turn off the warning. Meaning that every time I delete a SCORM file because it has now been loaded into the LMS, I get a warning as a popup AND and email.
Special Rule: Graham can draw extra lands, as a treat.

Sometimes you will open your fridge and find that the pork you pulled from the freezer last night for lunch today hasn't fully thawed yet. The only solution in these situarions is to make spaghetti aglio e olio with some red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese. Katsudon for dinner, I guess.
Incredible. Absolute perfection. 10/10 I'm going to go stick my head in a bookshelf and scream, hoping that you can hear it via L-Space.
Must read thread. Very important to our day and age. Serious, serious stuff.
When I was announced as the lead in a Doctor Who spinoff in 2023 Graham Linehan tweeted about me for TWO DAYS, tagging the BBC and others to say that I am pro-child abuse and they shouldn't work with me.
I think you're right. Also that, cis- or trans-, a huge proportion of over-40 westerners have some degree of body dysmorphia due to the relentless young-is-beautiful messaging in the media. And many transphobic authoritarians are doing what authoritarian personalities always do: projecting.
Something to be analyzed, for a certainty, in the relationship between very clearly dysmorphic public figures who have made obsessive use of plastic surgery, hormone supplements, etc, and the seemingly mindless violence these same people direct toward the transgender community
I've described the "Gender Critical" movement before as something akin to an evangelical death cult awaiting the end of the world, but instead of their own rapture, they're awaiting ours; the glorious day when trans people will simply cease to be and they will finally be free of us.
What exactly is it about trans people that inspires such disproportionate self-incinerating rage in people who fall down anti-trans rabbit holes? That we've kinda done nothing is precisely why it's so disproportionate, to the conspiracy addled, it's more proof of our secretive far-reaching power.
Hey my guy, do me two favours before you have your "AI" "solve crime" or whatever: 1) Define "crime;" 2) Tell me the moral of the television series Person Of Interest.
Jesus fucking christ i am exhausted of people who refuse to take even 1 class that would introduce them to ideas like the social construction of rules, laws, tech, & definitions of "crime," & who continually learn the wrong lessons from every science fiction story they ever meet. I mean holy shit.
Sniper who is constantly monologuing about how much of a lone wolf she is and how killing is the loneliest profession x spotter who who smiles and nods reassuringly before making her chicken nuggies and Mac and cheese exactly how she likes it and tucking her into bed every night
America's special problem is that we built our post-war society entirely around shopping, and then we moved the shopping online.
Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.
I mean that's reasonable but it ain't gonna sell t-shirts
The original Karen Memory book was sick as hell. Highly recommended to folks who like weird westerns with mecha and lesbians
Reskin Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser, as "J Jonah Jameson, Vitriolic Publisher".
Old Picklepuss would 100% work as Gruul. He communicates mainly by shouting, exists only to rage against an animal-themed person, and is full of RAAAAAAAAGE. That said, currently he's a good upgrade for the Boros precon from Murders at Karlov Manor.
Rose McIver would go on to play Liv Moore in iZombie, which should have made at least one joke about how she was once a Power Ranger.
Had a VERY queer coded relationship with a side character and gave off some VERY butch energy.
