I did not read Percy Jackson as a kid but the author is vocally extremely supportive of trans and nonbinary kids and has a trans character in his books and several main characters who aren’t white, so like, if you want a fantasy series alternative for ur kids that’s not by a racist terf he seems fine. they also fight gods instead of becoming fantasy-cops which is a plus in my book

Thought for the day: if your business is collecting personal data sufficiently sensitive that your government doesn't want it to be processed or sold overseas, then you shouldn't be collecting it in the first place. (That aspect of your business should be totally illegal.)

Remember in Blues Brothers when they end up at the Nazi rally and the point isn't even that Jake really hates Nazis, it's that Nazis are about the biggest losers that anyone could imagine. They are portrayed as completely pathetic dead-ender assholes.

Or in the Rocketeer when the mobsters find our the Sinclair guy is a Nazi and join forces with the FBI to stop them because Nazis are clearly the worst thing.

Or when Christopher Plummer rips the Nazi flag in two in Sound of Music.

None of these films were making bold political statements. The Nazis were the bad guys because that was something that everyone in the audience could agree one. Dunking on Nazis was a guaranteed crowd pleaser.

When the hell did we stop agreeing on something so simple and self-evident as Nazis Are Fucking Losers?

My 6YO: I like how she dresses.
Me: How THEY dress. They're non binary, they prefer "they" instead of "she".
6YO What is non bi .. bina ...
ME: Non binary. It means they don't feel like a girl or a boy, they just feel like themselves. "Boy" or "girl" doesn't really fit for them.
6YO: Oh, ok!

IT'S THAT EASY, FOLKS.

hey so, if you wanna be a boy you can just be one. dunno if you knew that

I've just made myself giggle. Instead of calling the current wave of prudishness "puriteens" we should call them the "tail-i-ban"

A trolley is currently heading towards an unidentifiable person on the track.
