@DavidZorkocy Or...write their own original stories with the characters they want to see. Stop colonizing other people's creative work.

Dear executives. When your writers say they want to put men in skirts/dresses into science fiction properties… that’s when it’s time to IMMEDIATELY replace the writers.

@cliftonaduncan This really resonates. Everything is now a 'community' with the creative class, where they support each other and not the art. It's all so incestuous.
English
This is 100% true.
They literally do not care about chasing away audiences. They WANT to chase away audiences.
Because they:
- Presume their vision to be self-evidently virtuous and correct
- Believe therefore that no good or sensible person would contradict them
- Filter any element that challenges their vision out of their lives
...They therefore live in a sheltered pseudoreality where their vision of "progress" is inevitable and where the majority are on their side.
They presume anyone driven away is an evil, stupid person, whose ilk will die out in time.
You are not their desired audience. Their desired audience is people like themselves. They do not want you around.
This attitude is pervasive among the creative class, and is why so much of modern media (ranging from literature to videogames) misfires so badly.
Ultimately these people don't see themselves as entertainers, but as servants of a broader social mission.
Your existence and enjoyment are obstacles to that mission.

“There are going to be three to five new fans who are coming in for the representation.” They believe this every single time they do this to a beloved legacy property; they think they don’t need the existing fans because they’re gonna get the “modern audience.”

Over 1 in 250 Natal Girls Were Taking Testosterone By Age 17 in Oregon, From 2016 to 2023
open.substack.com/pub/benryan/p/…
This rate, from a study of data about insured adolescents in Oregon, represents an average over this period. Given swift increases in hormone uptake over time, the rate was likely much higher by 2023.
The use of gender-transition drugs among adolescents in Oregon soared between 2016 and 2023, charting a nearly 10-fold increase among biological girls and a 14-fold increase in natal boys. Across this period, about 1 in 100 insured youth ages 8 to 17 in the Pacific Northwest state were diagnosed with gender dysphoria, a psychiatric condition involving distress stemming from a conflict between an individual’s natal sex and their gender identity.
By age 17, about 1 in 240 insured natal girls were taking testosterone and about 1 in 630 natal boys were taking estrogen in Oregon. These figures are nearly three-fold higher for natal girls and nearly twice as high for natal boys as figures from a study published last year that analyzed national data on commercially insured youth from 2018 to 2022.

@TheFIREorg Good conservative-leaning firms and lawyers must clean up! Partly because they successfully buck the system. Those people tend to be smart.
English
4/ A legal education that avoids opposing viewpoints risks producing lawyers unprepared for real-world conflict. Their training depends on an open exchange of ideas in class.
Our new report examines the climate for free expression in law schools.👇

Eight in ten law professors say a liberal would be a good fit at their law school… but fewer than half say the same about a conservative.
New data from our survey of law school faculty raises a broader question: How do different viewpoints fit within legal education?

Look at the username and ask yourself why someone would post something like this. Confused kids looking for a community are being exposed to some of the darkest, evil shit imaginable.

if you're an mtf transsexual you will be asked ~25 times by medical professionals if you want to spermbank. it is of critical importance that you say no every time.

@robbystarbuck @HelloFresh Absolutely degrading. To define gay men down to a private sexual act to sell a product.

Ready for one of the most disturbing marketing campaigns you’ve ever seen? @HelloFresh wants you to know that they have food for you to prepare your colon for receiving anal sex during Pride Month. Yes, this is real. No sane person should use this insane company.

It is unfortunate that these protesters have chosen disruption over genuine intellectual engagement grounded in academic charity and rigour. In attempting to shame students into deplatforming these lectures, they manifest the antithesis of what a university stands for.
English
Due to escalating disruptive protests, I have decided to cancel the remainder of these lectures. This is deeply lamentable, but the disruption has undermined the academic nature of this series. Students shouldn't face bullying or harassment when attending academic events.

@KenDBerryMD I'm low carb, close to carnivore (over ten years now), and there just isn't any bloating! Rare to have any kind of issue. Quite a difference from my fifteen years as a vegetarian.
English
Everyone warns you that eating meat will "stop you up."
But many people who start carnivore experience the exact opposite.
New research is challenging the idea that fiber is required for a healthy gut, and many carnivores report less bloating, fewer digestive issues, and better bowel health.
Have you tried carnivore?
What happened to your digestion after the switch?

MAHA Tip of the Day:
Walk barefoot on grass, dirt, or sand for 10-20 minutes daily to ground yourself & reduce inflammation through electron transfer.
Your sleep deepens, pain eases, & cortisol normalizes faster than most supplements ever could.
Will you try it?

@libsoftiktok Why not just get right to heifer and breeding stock vocabulary and completely dehumanize women, Democrats?
English
This is INSANE
Democrats NY have passed a bill changing terms such as "mother" and "father" to "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent."
It will now head to Gov Kathy Hochul to be signed into law.
Democrats are destroying what it means to be a mother and father.
