I dreamed just the other day that I broke mine.

The issue for me is this line, which still gets it wrong, because it should either replace the word "legislatures" with "professionals in the field" or say it should be done in consultation with.

the majority wrote that decisions on emerging policy issues like transgender care are generally better left to legislatures rather than judges.

Yes. There's a lot of projection going on here. While I understand that art allows us to see and project ourselves onto it, I don't believe a movie about a plastic fashion doll is quite the same.

 

“While it may just be a Barbie map in a Barbie world, the fact that a cartoonish, crayon-scribbled map seems to go out of its way to depict the PRC’s unlawful territorial claims illustrates the pressure that Hollywood is under to please CCP censors,”...

“The map in Barbie Land is a child-like crayon drawing,” a spokesperson for the Warner Bros. Film Group said. “The doodles depict Barbie’s make-believe journey from Barbie Land to the ‘real world.’ It was not intended to make any type of statement.”

I remember the weird hot sauce arms race from a while back where it seemed no one cared about flavor and were just trying to make the most absurdly hot liquids they could.

I'm sure some of those brands are still around, but it seems like people have decided that nuance is ok, too.

Because the way Threads works is almost seamlessly allowing existing Instagram users to create a Threads account. There is no corollary for Masto or Lemmy or any Fed entities to do something similar.

It's corporate synergy, baby.

Yeah. There's almost no argument to be made, no list of caveats and requirements designed to prevent misuse, that can make a law like this palatable.

One need only look at the US' FISA program to see that the public just won't have it.

They got so used to the protests that it seems too quiet now.
