As we watch an ascendant fascist theocracy queer people might be tempted by the urge to sanitize how we present ourselves and I'm here to tell you the actual best strategy is to be as mindblowingly gay as you possibly can

Saw someone else already said this, but winning a ring isn't the only definition of success. If you asked Minnesota fans three years ago if they'd take the run they've had, most would say yes. It's some of the best seasons in history, even without a ring. I'm sure Sacramento fans would take the early 2000s back if they could, too, even though they didn't win a ring.
I really hate how when a team loses we relitigate everything. The Wolves gave up a bunch of picks for Rudy and he had a bad Game 6 against a better team. They traded KAT because of the CBA for Randle and he had a bad series. They made two WCFs and got to the second round, for a team that has been a historical joke since KG in 2004, TWENTY years ago. They built a good team, they couldn't get it to put it together. It doesn't mean it wasn't worth it.

Ian McKellen reveals Obi-Wan Kenobi actor Alec Guinness advised him to stay quiet on gay rights because it's "unseemly for an actor to dabble in political affairs": "I didn't follow" "He had heard about my work to establish Stonewall – a lobby group to present to the government and the world at large the case for treating UK lesbians and gays equally under the law with the rest of the population. He thought it somewhat unseemly for an actor to dabble in public or political affairs and advised me, sort of pleaded with me, to withdraw. Advice from an older generation, which I "didn’t follow."

Dave Chappelle says the media gets his trans jokes “wrong,” urging audiences to account for a “margin of error” when watching his sets: “People would think it’s me vs. the gay community. I never looked at it like that,” Chappelle said. “I always thought it was corporate interest and culture negotiating itself. So, you know, most of those people who were critical of what I was doing didn’t seem like they were of it. It’s like they had their faces pressed against the glass, commenting on what we were doing in there, but they weren’t in there doing it.” “Every opinion you can think of is represented in a comedy club. Every type of person you can imagine does stand-up comedy—transgender stand-up comics, Black, white, Asian, every kind of perspective. And we all champion whatever opinion we champion. We would never think to silence one another.” “Nothing makes a comedian madder than reading his joke wrong in the paper,” Chappelle added. “You know, and reading a joke is nothing like hearing one or being one, and the intention of a comedy show is a very unique intention. We are playing with whatever the culture is made of, and we break it down and we get it right or we get it wrong. But in all art, if it’s going to be good or even hopefully great, you gotta have a margin of error.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/d…
