Today just got better. Twitter finally agreed that the transphobe Graham Linehan used their service for hateful conduct, and they booted him off.

:flag_transgender: Support trans people and stand up for trans rights, even if you're cis, and don't give transphobes the time of day. :flag_transgender:

Today, June 26, is the gayest day in US history.

2003-06-26 (17 years ago): Lawrence v. Texas, striking down no-gay-sex laws nationwide.

2013-06-26 (7 years ago): US v. Windsor, striking down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

2015-06-26 (5 years ago): Obergefell v. Hodges, legalizing gay marriage nationwide.

Happy LGBT+ pride month, folks!
And don't forget the "T" in there!

MLP: Pony Life 

And now I've seen the comments. Some like Pony Life, some don't, & some are confused, of course.

Also of course some hate it to the point of begging for a season 10 of FIM, without watching a single minute of it.

I'll tell ya what: If it weeds the more toxic bronies out of the MLP fandom, I'll judge it an even bigger hit.

Zoom acquired Keybase today.

Keybase helped me to identify a trend in the software industry: using a pretty UI to cover up the disruption of an open ecosystem with a closed, centralized replacement. Keybase seemed cool on the face of it - making encryption easier is a laudible goal, and PGP certainly could use the improvement. But, thanks to Keybase, now I ask different questions upfront.

Beware the Keybase formula:

1. Integrates with an existing, open ecosystem
2. May have open-source clients, but server is closed source and does not federate
3. Pretty UI and good marketing
4. VC funded

trans people be like: nice gender we're having

MLP: Pony Life 

I actually like Pony Life so far, but I've always liked cute silliness, & I can see why most adult FIM fans won't.

But just remember: MLP exists first for Hasbro to sell gendered toys to children, & I have a feeling they'll succeed more with Pony Life than they did with Gen 3.5.

MLP: Pony Life 

So I saw the first episodes of Pony Life today.

The episodes are short & silly, & the characters are as exaggerated in behavior & personality as they are in art style (with exceptions I won't spoil), almost if not full-on to flat parodies of their FIM selves.

I think...

This seems like a good time to remind folks that "ACAB" does *not* stand for "assigned cop at birth."
