We Hunted The Mammoth
So, a little announcement. I’ve started a new Substack newsletter/blog called My AI Obsession, which is about, well, you know. I’ll be posting there several times a week (while continuing to post here, of course), and I encourage you all to subscribe or, at the very least, check it out. Subscriptions are free; later, there will be paid options. My first post is here. (If you get any weird glitches trying to access it, please power through them; they’ll get fixed.)
The last time we checked in on the intrepid right-wing culture warriors at Bounding Into Comics, they were pitching a fit over the race- and gender-swapping of some of the characters in Disney’s live-action remake of Peter Pan & Wendy. In the new version of the film, you see, neither Peter Pan nor Tinkerbell is white–and some of the Lost Boys are girls! Naturally, this makes the Bounding Into Comics guys very mad, for some completely unknown reasons that couldn’t possibly be racism or misogyny.

Jesse Singal has ostentatiously quit Twitter–at least for a couple of weeks, he promises–penning not one but two articles explaining this momentous decision.

A little announcement: Soon, probably next week, I will be officially hanging out my shingle as a freelance editor and writing coach. As a way of introducing my services to the world, and offering some thanks for the support you all have given me over the years, I’d like to offer three of you a free coaching session. We can talk about a particular project, work through ways to get past writer’s block, or deal with any other writing issue that’s affecting you.
Today, a glimpse into the mind of Michael Knowles, the Daily Wire host who caused such a stir last week by calling for the eradication of “transgenderism.”
Tennessee is known for passing more anti-LGBTQ+ legislation than any other state, with 26 such bills currently making their way through the state legislature. As state speaker, Republican Lt. Gov. Randy McNally presided over the passage of a recent bill banning gender-affirming care for minors, and another bill making drag performances a felony.
It’s not really about “protecting the children” at all, is it?
A man who was previously charged with hate crimes for spray-painting the word “groomer” on the front doors of two libraries during Pride Week has now been charged with seven counts of possessing child pornography.
