It's kinda like if you were born intuitively feeling like the A button should be on the right, X should be up, B down, etc. but life hands you an Xbox controller and everyone gets super weird the moment you ask about button remapping.

Official Moratorium on cis women calling men "Daddy" until we can figure out just what the fuck is incest anymore.

This is a great read

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

I’m sorry I just found out that in 1379, as in, 650 years ago, a baby girl was born in Yorkshire and named Diot Coke history is a fucking joke lmao

streaming in two hours!

you know what i love most about living in 2025? all the chill vibes

A 17 year old Zohran Mamdani -who was born in Uganda- listed himself as African on a college application. The New York Times source on this was hacked materials obtained by a neo-Nazi whose identity was already known through social media posts, but who the NYT granted source anonymity to anyways.

"There’s an iconic image of Hillary Clinton on the 2016 campaign trail looking out of place and conspicuously uncomfortable in an East Harlem working-class apartment. Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for mayor was the exact opposite of that, all the time." I'm on this team

ambiently hate that one of the side effects of Large Language Models infecting society is that when video game companies say you're going up against AI opponents or whatever, you have to pause for a second to remember that just means computer controlled and not stupidity

Feels like some leftists took away a mistaken idea from the Gamergate kerfuffle and thought cracking down on sexual content was woke, which it isn't

Every ad now

another manifestation of this is when you criticize the right and somebody tsk tsks "they say the same thing about the left," like, yeah, somebody is lying, are you interested in who? because the answer is easily discoverable

Mamdani was speaking DIRECTLY to nonvoters his entire campaign. Even when he was polling single digits. He NEVER disrespected them or blamed them for the destruction of this country, a genocide they did not contribute to, or the acts of Trump supporters He made their concerns part of his agenda

There is no way to fix our politics that doesn't involve a lot of powerful people going to prison.

I'll be pretty blunt here, not only is all of the rich people in the world emailing jeffery epstein a major major news story but so are all of the media people saying it isn't. Like lemme see what's on that ol hard drive, let's crack that shit open.

What's super cool is that even though the majority of the audience is atheist, the places that did help received significant donations (one disclosed it was $75k+). A couple of people also did the same experiment on gangs, drug dealer, etc, and found they were more likely to help than churches. 3/3

When I last checked, all of the places of worship belonging to non-Christian religions offered help with no questions asked. A couple of Catholic Christian churches also helped, but the rest either flat out refused, or asked if she was a member and much she'd previously donated. 2/3

There's this woman doing an absolutely wild social experiment on TikTok. She calls random US churches with the sound of a baby crying in the background, explain the baby hasn't eaten in over 12 hours, and asks for 1 bottle of baby formula. She has a public spreadsheet of how each one responded. 1/3

a bus pass here is $65 a month by itself. please help me get to my docs?

We deserve a better class of criminal

i think cannibalism might be the only crime left that our president hasn't committed yet

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

OH RIGHT I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BAD DREAM I keyed out the pink from Barbie, the Green from Shrek and the Yellow from Bee Movie

someday, if we survive all this, our descendants will wonder how things ever got this bad. and i'm not sure what to tell them.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

and if yooooooou

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time. No more hiding behind election terms.

the fundamental problem with representative democracy is that the only people who are financially stable enough to consider running for office are already so wealthy they don't understand or care about all the shit the rest of us are dealing with

i am once again thinking about my favorite ever excerpt from our yiddish textbook

I finally got confirmation that ICE agents have been getting paid this whole shutdown. Only people who’ve had guaranteed pay this whole time are the lawmakers responsible for the shutdown and kidnappers

Between this, the permaban of Link, and the silent rollout of the “rude” moderating, BlueSky’s leaders seem intent on speedrunning the enshittification of the site

JUST POSTED: Everyone Is Wrong, our response to the recent series of arguments that – based on the hypothesis that Harris lost and Dems underperformed in 2024 due to (summarizing broadly) voters’ perceptions that Dems are too far left – Democrats need to move right to win.
