good posts from the other site again

"all white trans girls had a nazi phase" voted #1 all-time phrase among people who won't break mutual over retweeting graham linehan

they're always mad that the Pope is woke and gay, can we have a Catholic schism the other way for once, can we have an offshoot who refuse to accept any Pope who isn't into pup play

One of the grossest things in the Epstein files is how he just randomly scanned the news for men accused of SA and used this money and connections to dig up dirt on victims.

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

why are all home appliances now like "I have ceased operating for reasons mysterious; if you wish to use me, you must solve my puzzle."

Some exciting life news... I am now a lecturer in Entomology and Ecology at Lincoln University in NZ! We took the Entomology students on a fieldtrip over the weekend, and saw some of my favourite invertebrates: Velvet worms and giant springtails! Always a treat to see these! #SoilBiodiversity 🧪

a decade from now we're gonna get a version of analogue horror where a youtuber keeps segueing into increasingly bizarre and violent sponsor segments

Polynesian men telling our stories!! I wrote this piece for RE:News as part of their series about Masculinity within Aotearoa. Features images of my handsome Tongan brother, Tapuaki. From the series entitled MATALA, shot by my other handsome Samoan Māori brother, Hōhua!!

time mogs us all

there are times I wish I was Christian – hell is a comforting idea, that if justice doesn't come in this world it'll come in the next. There are a lot of powerful people who don't deserve the peace of the grave.

Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially. transitics.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

For years we said they’re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to “stop being so dramatic.” Now we’re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us. Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?

I've said it once and I'll say it again: if you have a big account, don't get into fights with smaller accounts. I think people don't understand the way scale works on social media, how it's impossible for a pile-on to be proportional. I don't care if you think you're right, just block and move on.

if I see a company with a Tolkien name I automatically assume it's evil and I wonder how Tolkien himself would feel about the way the worst men in the world have raised his books like a banner

This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

do you think the problem with the labour party is that every 10 years they have a competent woman leader who has to basically do everything herself and then she leaves and nobody thought to learn how to be good at anything so they're like a divorced man learning how to use the washing machine

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

your moment of calm

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?" Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

look I know calling Seymour a bad libertarian is old hat, but he does still claim to be libertarian and he is here publicly supporting a war of aggression to install a monarchy. Let it be very clear he has no principles whatsoever beyond "US Republicans good".

Let's not forget that Seymour called New Zealand's first Iranian born member of parliament, a woman whose parents fled the regime as dissidents, a "menace to freedom" resulting in her needing extra security as threats increased He directed contributed to her being hounded out of public life

saw a bunch of stuff from the British media about how the Greens are underhandedly and cynically campaigning on the cost of living and it's like ... so the issues? They're talking about things people care about?

damn did this carved granite idol believed to represent Nuada Airgetlám fuck this archeologist's wife or what

her handler is called Chaz, he blew out his knee bailing a 900 and he's never been the same since. his skaters will never know that humilitation, he will make damn sure of that. They will win, whatever it takes.

devastated to learn this is about ice skating, because mechsploitation skateboarding sounds incredible. You wanna win? You gotta be gnarlier. You gotta have a darkslide.

Check out this whole thread. Minneapolis and Saint Paul are still hurting. Folks are cautiously coming out of shelter, but need food to get them through until paychecks start up again or new jobs are found. ZCC is my mutual aid! Laura and I have been working together! Please share widely!

the Green/Labour flip is good enough but oh my god lmao Tories on 1.9%

dear every artist trying to draw two people with swords pushing erotically close to each other: please acquire a copy of Las Cien Conclusiones de la Destreza de las Armas by Narváez, it's a whole book about how to actually do that without getting stabbed

behold, a man who was totally super cool until he saw the light of jesus, a man who was never laughed at by a goth girl

been down a rabbit hole of this specific class of guy you got in the 80s and 90s, the "ex-satanist" police cult consultant, and their job was to pretend to have gone to parties

this was a NYT Bestseller

realizing that what i'm looking for here is a noise misato era

This basically

there's not an animal called a 'Blenny' that looks like this, I refuse to believe it, that's something a sci-fi writer made up in the 50s

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

Let me say this: There's a fairly high chance that a court will take a look at this and stay the law and you will forget about the fact that the Kansas Legislature tried to criminalize nearly every trans person in the state. That will be a mistake.

so Return to Silent Hill is at times weirdly faithful to SH2, like shot-for-shot recreations, but also wildly changes the ending in a way that really seems like it doesn't wanna admit that James is a bad dude

playing around with concepts for what a traumadoll mech would actually look like, I feel I'm onto something

This is a "papers please" "English is the official language" "eat slop and be grateful" "disappear the unhoused" "women are second class" "don't learn real history" "local FBI office" government and we really cannot afford to be smug about other countries' slide to open fascism, Aotearoa

Alright we made it through today. Here's your reward. 🦭 🦑

Autotune the News did the Epstein trial and it feels like King Arthur returning from the dead because the realm is in true peril youtu.be/Q71Xb1Sd86M?...
