If you see conservatives acting like this and think “oh they must be gay” YOU are the one who’s been duped. YOU are the one whose bigotries and misunderstanding of sexuality are on display.

Also also: they're not saying that straight sex is gay-as-in-homosexual, they're saying that because even the most exploitative, misogynistic MF sex still involves a woman's consent and possibly pleasure it's outside of what can be considered masculine and is therefore gay-as-in-effeminate.

Also, so we are clear: my position (correct) is that that they don't go far enough - yes, all sex is gay, and that's why it's good and why you should do it more and weirder.

I'm going to need everyone to stop being such a mark for stuff like this. They have learned through years of feedback that this gets them clicks. It's an engagement strategy as contrived as anything a social media marketing agency could put together for a SaaS startup.

8 Democrats vote yea to further erode the basic rights of trans youths. Waiting on the roll call to update to find out who these anti-trans Dems are.

Remember a few months ago when “AI uses too much water” was broadly derided as ignorant and false? They can literally steal water and not even pay a fine, while residents are told to cut back. It’s an industry built on lawlessness.

These dudes think they are casting spells. @wolvendamien.bsky.social called it a long time ago.

Can the basement they run the tribune out of just collapse already

Friends, the now billionaire co-founder of Facebook, who we have to thank for the unlimited money going into the effective altruism cult who has now given us "AI", with all its "glory" including kids' suicides, has a dream good social media platforms good people like him dreamt up years ago 🙄

Kash Patel is gonna be furious when he sobers up

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car. Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month. No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

Leftists need to figure out a way to have conversations about degrowth that doesn’t freak people out

There is no one Starbucks hates more than its own employees

One of these days, someone is going to suggest I use AI for something when I’m in a particularly bad mood, and I’m just gonna shoot myself in front of them

I feel like the "vibecession" discourse misses a fundamental point because it doesn't actually fucking matter if your real income goes up by pennies when you're struggling to get by either way.

Another morning of ICE sightings happening around Chicagoland and the northwest burbs as yes, they are still here, operating under the surface as they were before Bovino's spectacle.

A couple weeks ago, Nicholas Keung at the Toronto Star reported on how generative AI is being used to assess immigration applications in Canada...and how it's led to refusals because of stuff the AI tool added in, that humans (clearly) failed to check. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

"Project Hail Mary" has unfortunately reaffirmed my belief that Harry Styles's "Sign of the Times" is just not a very good song

I'm seeing a lot of people saying "no US president has ever threatened genocide before," and I would like to please remind those people of the existence of Andrew Jackson.

Anyone who participates in any way in this evil, is also a war criminal. It is not just Trump. It’s the entire administration, the entire army apparatus from the bottom to the top. History will not judge anyone kindly for “just following orders.”

This is going around from a planespotter in UK ~40 minutes ago. Just to pre-bunk some things: - The cruise missiles on the pylons are JASSMs (conventional-only), not AGM-86 (nuclear-only). - AGM-86 is a good deal longer (thus not two rows in line), and different livery <more>

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

The current moment in tech is loosely understood as software guys getting so evil they made hardware guys discover Marxism from first principles.

Trimmed my bush and the next day depression came roaring back, makes you think…

I actually think it’s pretty disgusting to not apologise for poor wording on your part and instead put the blame on trans people, who are directly impacted by the SCOTUS decision and are understandably dealing with a lot right now. And this further puts a target on their back.

You don’t have to pay for streaming services if you have friends that are cool

Can someone smarter than me make a mashup of No One Is Alone from Into the Woods and That White Cat from the new Mitski album

It's a clear and sunny day in Chicago. ICE is out and about, with vehicles sighted across the city and suburbs. Berwyn Cicero Rapid Response just confirmed feds took two people from Cicero shortly after 8am.

Welp, CBP is back to its nighttime surveillance flights over us in Chicago.

Congrats to Raja Krishnamoorthi on his new position as guest contributor to the Chicago Tribune editorial board

As the parks department destroys people’s belongings, a CPD officer decides to keep an American flag as the only thing saved from the trash truck.

Claiming that a race crowded progressives is bad and the fault of the progressive front runner is insane. This election has fully fried peoples’ brains.

EXCLUSIVE: A dark money group is offering influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate @katmabu.bsky.social www.ms.now/news/kat-abu...

Says a lot about him that he's still on twitter :/

Somehow, history has returned.

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

I don't care if Congress authorizes War on Iran. NO WAR ON IRAN. I want people to fucking reclaim their morality.

Expecting us – with good reason based on history – to all thank them for their service. Fuck your service and fuck you. Saving a life is brave. Being instructed to kill and saying no I will not do that is brave. But killing like this? It is the least human thing you can do.

I don't think Jamelle Bouie is evil, or even malicious, but I do think that like most other liberal journalists he is unequipped to face the present moment, arrogant, and not just uninterested in but dismissive of his own complicity with the structural oppression of others.

This is what CNN is publishing even before the Ellisons come in

ICE bad and also, around half of people killed by police have a disability. Their final moments are usually spent in frantic terror trying to "comply" with commands before cops shoot. Not opening a door or answering a question fast enough in this country can be a death sentence.

Mitski write a song without using dogs as a metaphor challenge

Kansas just invalidated the drivers licenses of every trans person in the state. They’re being told to surrender their current licenses and get new ones listing their birth sex. No grace period. Get caught driving with your now-invalid license and you’re looking at jail and a fine.
