Witch strikes moon in eye during broom-top fly-by; Italian Diviners claim: "That's amore!"

If you have the stomach for it, the 2013 documentary Let the Fire Burn is worth your time. JustWatch says it's streaming on AppleTV, Ovid and Kanopy.

Clever acts of civil disobedience.

Consider the risks, the disruption, the audience, the take-away message / discourse.

Protests need to get creative. The inflatable frog suits are good example: it's ridiculous, it's visibly passive, it's practical, and it has great optics. Entire protest actions need to be designed with these things in mind.

Everyone (protestors and the public alike) are bored to tears of street marches, cute protest signs and the same dozen chants.

Market research based on the Fantastic Four movie. Maybe people are looking favorably at retro-futurism these days.

Tomorrowland was a mess, but perhaps ironically before its time.

That's what they want. It would be very convenient for our enemies if we just disappeared.

The way through is to be trans and in their faces about it. Use the public toilet. Play sports. Don't even try to pass. The only way through is to demonstrate the injustice. The challenge is having the will to do it and being smart about the demonstration (maximizing a positive exposure vs risk ratio).

A) How many people gave a shit about transgender folks in sports until the supposedly-unbiased-but-suddenly-purchased-by-a-billionaire news source started repeatedly publishing negative opinions about it?

B) Selection bias: what kind of person gets a call or email with an opinion survey and takes the time to fill it out?

FYI, Newsom also vetoed a bill that would allow trans folks to stockpile their HRT for a year:

I know, right?

I sat down with The Glassworker this weekend. There's nothing quite like it.

That allowed them to make the pilot and shop it around to networks and streaming platforms, but the Faustian bargain there is generally signing away IP rights to that platform.

The way I understand this deal, Glitch has a much friendlier stance with letting creators hang onto ownership of their IP.

FLCL came out 25 years ago.

Hell yes!

They will just find another avenue to attack.

American Trans people, spitting out blood and a few teeth, "I didn't hear no bell."

...from what we’ve seen, audiences aren’t interested in watching computer-generated content untethered from the human experience.

My sweet summer child have you never seen a toddler with an iPad?

I saw a video on YouTube with some techniques on how to not core your vile. I started doing this and haven’t had problems since.

If I recall correctly, it involves going in at a pretty steep angle, something like 30° off perpendicular to the membrane. Put the attack point of the needle (bevel facing up) right on the existing hole of the membrane and push the needle down slightly to try to reopen that same hole, then slide the needle into it. Once the tip is thru the membrane, you can angle the needle straight in.
