Lord, give me the confidence of a public figure who earnestly believes he just crushed that interview with Isaac Chotiner
Since 'Mickey Mouse is blackface?!' is back in the discourse, re-upping this - the uncomfortable thing is not that all these cartoons were intended to be direct minstrel-show analogues (especially because we have examples, like Bosko, that very much were), but that the iconography was universalized
The sanitizing of Charlie Kirk's legacy
You need to hire Phil. Miles O'Brien knows.
...FYI several ppl commented that The Economist doesn't name authors for many articles. which seems fine if it's a short news summary, but not in the case where it's one writer's interpretation of a study. especially when the interpretation is 180º different from the researchers' own conclusions!
...knowing Jəsse's the author (& that gender-affirming care practitioners are well aware of his biases & tactics) utterly changes the meaning of the last paragraph. without attribution, it makes it sound like the authors are suspiciously dodging the question. in actuality they know he's a bad actor!
...apparently he tweeted about it several days ago. it seems weird that The Economist purposely hid his name from readers. unless of course they knew that readers might already be aware of Jəsse's long history of bias on this issue...
so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):
Tough competition IME
hell yeah
NEW — I wrote about my confirmed scoop from last night that Disney hastened Kimmel's return because of a planned Disney+ streaming price increase announcement coming on Tuesday:
I like BDG's timeline better.
CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right? IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If— CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother? IKARI: Look, let me answer the question. CHOTINER: Sure.

BREAKING: All Veggietales Raptured Except For Tomato — "He Knows What He Did"
Legitimately there are people on TikTok advising that believers should stand outside today so they don't get trapped against their ceilings when they start to rise up, which, frankly, if your divine master of all creation is flummoxed by the concept of a roof, I think that's the bigger problem.
Here is the exact statement he signed onto and a link to the full statement. He basically says evidence does not support the trans care bans. hei.healthsci.mcmaster.ca/systematic-r...
The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine. He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews. Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care. Great coverage from Henry carnell.
Surprise surprise, I've been saying this for years. petapixel.com/2025/09/23/m...

i think america would be a better place if everyone just stopped paying attention to politico til they went out of business. there’s no “autism problem” just like there’s no “trans debate.” both of those things are eugenics. both questions are really “should these subhumans be allowed to exist?”
the US if Tylenol actually caused autism
"The autism problem"? Your owner's fascism is showing.
As a matter of interest the founder of Politico was the Pinochet family banker
Well, based on that GIF, there needs to be at least one song from KISS: www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-S3...
It's common for TikTok captions to have substitutions for strong language or advertiser-unfriendly terminology, because we live in hell.
George Herriman is arguably one of the first major black artists in comics. And the only reason for that is because NO ONE KNEW HE WAS BLACK. He was light skinned enough to be white passing & hid that fact into old age so that he WOULD be able to continue drawing largely due to rampant racism.
One last thing because this is extremely important due to the darkest of ironies. Felix the Cat is the one of the few classic chars NOT based on minstrelsy. Note the lack of gloves. Felix the Cat was actually a expy/pastiche of George Herriman's Krazy Cat! And this is extremely important because-
Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually
If you’re worried about whether the apocalypse has happened or is happening just look around see if you can find a live Jew. That’ll answer your question.
centrists & moderate liberals when all the transphobic rightwingers demanding to look at children’s genitals turn out to be literal pedophiles:
look up why Erikkka Kirk isn’t allowed in Romania. in 2008 Erika Kirk, then known as Erika Frantzve, was involved with an org in Romania called “Children’s Relief International” that was allegedly trafficking children.
ok i was joking calling dc god’s country but as i was leaving the metro station some smokin hot guy shouted RAX KING! I LOVE YOU BABY! as he was hopping the turnstile to go in so you know what, maybe it is 🥰

Ohhh interesting. I just assumed it was a single car, probably because yard sales are my reference point. That said, you can have yard sales that include multiple nearby households, but that requires either dividing money (😬) or all interested houses participating at once, like a car boot sale.
I guess? Does a car boot sale happen in a parking lot? We usually have "yard sales" over here, i.e., in the front yard of the house.
We likely got TikTok handed to a bunch of right-wing oligarchs because of the notion that vertical videos had deluded young Americans into believing what people could — and continue to — see with their own eyes.
Few things sum up American liberalism better than "he may have been a war criminal responsible for the death and suffering of millions, but he liked my Star Wars book so he can't have been all that bad"
Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again
🚨I forgot my daughter’s birthday today because we are displaced and looking for a safe place.💔 She hasn’t seen her father since the war began. We can’t celebrate because we have no home or money — we are on the street now.😭 chuffed.org/project/1397...
OHHHH okay that's a completely different thing. "Tailgating" can also mean a "tailgate party", i.e., one traditionally held off a truck's tailgate, usually with grilling, beer, and related shenanigans. @smolrobots.bsky.social's summary is correct here.
It's following way too close to a vehicle, especially on the highway (motorway). Like you're up against/akin to its tailgate (the bit at the back of the truck you pull down to get stuff in). (Over explaining because I don't know if I inadvertantly used more North American jargon)
i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended
Awesome I love it when libs do solidarity like "how much Tylenol did Trump's mom take haha get it Trump is autistic which is bad like how he's fat and gay and has incontinence and when fat gay incontinent autistics say "idk if this is ideal praxis and rhetoric" I will tell them to enjoy the camps"
Proud to announce our unnamed tech partners tracked the cell phone locations of hundreds of thousands of people without their knowledge or consent
We have been hit especially hard by the youtube viewership issue, so if you could watch and leave a comment, you'd be a hero to me.
That checks out. Sounds like a second douchebag bullet dodged, anyway
my mom and her book group are calling their sinclair abc station to complain and trust me sinclair you don’t want that smoke
oh look it’s a helpful list of all the Nexstar and Sinclair ABC stations that I guess one could call if they wanted to complain about them not airing Jimmy Kimmel tonight
What about the guy who vouched for him?
If Isaac Chotiner asks you about your friendship with Henry Kissinger, you are already dead.
In absolutely horrible news I learned this morning that Hany was killed in an air strike- he was driving people from the North to the South when it happened. This is one of the last messages he sent me 💔 He leaves behind 8 kids, he was only 48 and he was very kind.
TIL about this and what white gloves were for in early cartoons.
No Super 3D Noah's Ark?
if the answer to every problem is tax cuts, at what point do we realize that maybe it's the tax cuts that are the problem?
Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.
Joe Manchin singlehandedly blew up Biden's welfare agenda and caused child poverty to ~double. Andrew Cuomo literally conspired with Republicans to give them control of the state Senate
for all the flapping about Uncommitted during the primary it has always been the Blue Dog centrist types who are most disloyal to the party
Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.
At a counter-demo a tall white guy showed up dressed all in black. He walks over to us and says to me, ‘oh cool, I like your signs, what group are you with? Who organised this?’ My response: ‘I dunno, no idea’. He immediately moves on. Cops these days, not even trying to infiltrate
RELISH IN THE SCREAMS OF YOUR ENEMIES! DO YOU NEED TO CLEAN YOUR GLASSES?
One of my favorite fun facts is why the TMNT are named after artists (it’s because the type of turtle they are is a “painted turtle”). I told my nephew about this and he immediately replied that there should be a Bob Ross turtle. So rather than explain the renaissance movement to him, I-

Bibot swings both ways, and exists to correct people's misconceptions about bisexuality (originally suggested by @stillicides.bsky.social).
Oh, it's #BiVisibilityDay, is it? Well, here's a Bibot picture I did for someone a few years ago.
MEN, see, they drive like THIS; but WOMEN, they drive like THIS. And then you got your ENBYS, who drive like THIS, and your AGENDERS, and they drive like THIS. Then of course your GENDERFLUIDS drive like THIS, and your NEOGENDERS, who drive like THIS,
Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.
tylenol causes autism??? pack it in.
ok but in all seriousness this fucking peter thiel “antichrist” shit and all the rapture buzz it’s like they’re trying to activate one specific guy in arkansas to do the thing
ngl they working overtime to break people’s brains with this shit
I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad
This MF looking like Week 8 Jon Gruden from the old Deadspin reddening bit.
I've had "get a tattoo" on my list since my original plan to get one for my 30th birthday. At this point, I'll probably get it for my 40th because I just turned 39 and I haven't been able to afford the damned thing yet.
Where does Knack come in for you?
Silver lining, but this is hilarious "We didn’t wait 20 years for Bobby to finally speak and then get served Tylenol as an answer," anti-vaccine group Georgia Coalition for Vaccine Choice wrote."

I feel so awful posting these things where trans people can see them because I know how many of our young folks ask themselves if they should stay alive and I just want to say, please stay with us. Your life is precious. and if you’re not sure, Trans Lifeline is here for you translifeline.org
Most editorial comments I want to make about this will get me in trouble so let me just say, trans people are precious and segregationists can go fuuuuuuuuck themselves A Black and Asian woman shilling for segregation is SHAMEFUL www.them.us/story/kamala...

jimmy kimmel (opening monologue on tuesday): so charlie kirk is still dead,
IIRC, if The Rapture really happens it’s honestly going to be great down here for a thousand years until everyone gets thrown into the lake of fire. A thousand years without these assholes! It’s actually a pretty good deal!
Learning the history of the "tipped minimum wage" was an eye-opener in that regard.
We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.
Yeah. It's even worse when you notice it in the faces of the kids we've been retweeting for a year. Never in my life did I imagine we would have to watch people starve to death slowly in front of our eyes. This is not a world worth living in

I had to take a few breaths before re-sharing this. Mahmoud looks gaunt the way my dad did shortly before he died of cancer. The man's barely more than skin and bones. How can people see this and not be moved?
