The new Indian bill on trans rights removes the right to self determination for the world’s largest queer community and is nothing short of erasure. Sending love to all my trans siblings back home and hoping the continued outrage helps fuel change theleaflet.in/amp/story/leaf…

@thequeenpri I love that moment so much. The way they look at each other. It's when they fall in love. It's the perfect song for the moment. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Following the digital release of A Nice Indian Boy, GAY TIMES spoke with director Roshan Sethi and star Karan Soni about the rom-com’s historic gay and South Asian representation, and how it both subverts and pays homage to the genre. buff.ly/B4mHLHz

The next step is the Doctor himself talking about SRK and Kajol one day in Doctor Who.

Loving being one of the few people to have watched both "Rogue" from Doctor Who and "A Nice Indian Boy" so I know Jonathan Groff went from romancing the Doctor referencing Bridgerton to romancing a doctor and singing from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.

Just caught up with a couple of reels on A Nice Indian Boy and remember @madplays from OG Twitter and slightly remember her sharing her journey of writing plays and cracking these big opportunities. So, so lovely to see this as a film. Congratulations, Madhuri!

I somehow put into words how much I adored A Nice Indian Boy. A sweet, hilarious, and soulful movie about romance, family, and culture. One of my favourites of the year 🥰 #LFF collider.com/a-nice-indian-…

more gay indian weddings on screen!! A Nice Indian Boy swerves rom-com conventions and becomes a treatise on marriage, shifting generational attitudes + the intersection between race + cultural identity Karan Soni + Jonathan Groff present hopelessly vulnerable love so damn well

@hankgreen I find them extremely comfortable and fun, but I only need so many socks! So the subscription model didn't really make that much sense to me. I have about 8 now and that's all I need.

Scoop: @RoKhanna is introducing a bill that would cap the cost of childcare at $10 a day for families earning under $400,000 annually. If it succeeds, the proposal could establish the U.S. equivalent of Canada’s landmark childcare initiative. Read more: time.com/7024525/childc…

How does having more police on the subway make us safer when cops shoot 4 people (including a cop) trying to stop someone who jumped the turnstile? And the alleged farebeater wasn't "wielding" a knife. The cops found it in his pocket. nydailynews.com/2024/09/15/nyp…

Every level of city government under @NYCMayor is corrupt. I hope all of these criminals end up in jail.
Susan Edelman@SusanBEdelman

Six ex-NYC DOE staffers used “forged permission slips” to take their own kids and grandkids on city-funded trips meant for homeless students, including a $66,000 excursion to Disney World in 2018, @NYC_SCI says in a just-released report. A supervisor is accused of trying to cover it up. “She told us to lie to the investigators,” a co-worker confirmed. nypost.com/2024/09/15/us-…

I can’t understand why “crazed ex-president who committed crimes trying to illegally hang onto power now running again and promising to end the constitutional order and imprison everyone who ever tried to hold him accountable” isn’t front page hyperventilating news material.

@SiddhantAdlakha Sana Amanat worked very closely with G Willow Wilson - I assumed Kamala (with that particular pronunciation) was an Urdu name from the beginning

Only one I can think of is the Ms. Marvel show: it moves away from the original "origin" of Kamala's name (a white writer feminizing a male Egyptian name) and ties it back to "Marvel" in Urdu. Of course, still a brand name, but comes from her dad, so very sweet and story-centric.
MacReadyGaming@MacReadyGaming

Genuinely asking, are there any great "naming scenes" for the lack of a better term in super hero movies? It always seems to come off forced/try hard. Like these scenes are more a tongue and cheek with the audience than it is serving the story. Is there a great way to do it?
