joining the war on autism on the side of autism

"Taking a walk/touching grass/etc" is always good advice because what good did you get out of the last 36 hours of stress as the conservative narrative scrambles to connect the shooter to transness? You know it isn't true. Everyone does. Check back later. Stop doing this to yourself right now.

man i dunno i just feel slightly suspicious of people who apparently were not so shaken by stuff like the Pulse or Las Vegas or Uvalde shootings and what that says about the state of the US but now suddenly have this reaction of "we're on a dark path" now that someone prominent was targeted

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

being in ICE or Border Patrol must be so crazy right now, you’re walking around as the disposable henchmen you can kill without qualms in the coming century of films and video games

quicksand? sure, listen—when I was a kid I was told about yeerks. you know yeerks? space slugs, they slide in your ear, take over your brain. you’re locked in your own body. terrifying. and then I grew up. and there’s no yeerks. but get this: you’re still locked in your own body

the explanations for how Evil Dead 2 is remake instead of a sequel ignore how the funniest / most in character possible option is that Ash just went back to the cabin a second time.

Palestinians and trans people are not purity tests, man.

can someone photoshop correa in an astros uniform?!

Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.

Trump's new executive order about AI states that companies' models must not incorporate the idea that trans people exist as a concept. Seems bad.

I don't get why it's such a big deal that trans people want to play in cis people sports. We let cis people participate in speedrunning tournaments.

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

truly insane that while the NY times was trying to beat chris rufo the the scoop on mamdani's SAT scores, the murdoch owned wall street journal was uncovering evidence of trump's close ties to the leader of an elite pedo ring

look man we all think it but you're not supposed to say it

Tribal stations are often the sole source of news, cultural programming and vital weather alerts in Indian Country. Radio industry leaders warn the cuts could leave millions without those essential services.

Interesting. All of these people should violate the terms of service

🚨 BABS DAY! 🚨

I'm not voting for any Democrat who moves a centimeter on transgender rights. My vote isn't charity - I won't be voting to strip myself of rights.

The issue is that liberals seem to think there is a reasonable argument to be made over how many trans people there should be and they think they deserve our votes because they don't think the answer is zero.

Oh grow up. There’s more to politics than your survival. For instance, my comfort

Maybe the story of this decade is the news can’t actually be reported on because the billionaires are too litigious

Finally ate some Pioneer Chicken and remembered the great @kalebhorton.bsky.social piece for the dearly departed The LAnd mag thelandmag.com/pioneer-frie...

Pudgy McCabe you have to stop. You Smoke Too Tough. Your Swag Too Different. Your Bitch Is Too Bad. They’ll Kill You.

Ending Medicaid in order to build concentration camps. I feel, as always, there should be some kind of nonstop barrage of ads across America, every Democrat on every platform saying something like “Republicans want to end Medicaid in words to build concentration camps.”

Fortunato (coughing): You’re certain the Criterion Closet is down here Montresor (picking up a trowel): Definitely. Have you thought about your picks yet

basketball is a beautiful sport. unfortunately the drive to succeed at a young age, combined with changes in the way the game is coached (defensively), has led to players unable to shoulder the physical burden of high impact athletic activity. its the same as tommy john surgery w/ mlb pitchers

the nba really is not a very good product to watch right now. all i know is i can’t wait for another totally unwatchable AT&T ad during march madness featuring these anti-charismatic OKC players.

Congrats to the Oklahoma City Thunder on their championship

We as a community are rooting for Indy and not this dishonorable basketball, yes?

Aerial bombing is depersonalized and it’s just the Air Force playing with its toys. It’s very low risk for American pilots and foreigners aren’t considered people unless they’re Israeli so who cares? Even blowback like 9/11 doesn’t register as a consequence because we’re an extremely stupid country.
