Same.

A week ago Saturday would have been Penelope's 19th birthday. To remember her, we went to her favorite park. The stream was very high and muddy and looked like a chocolate river, like it was in honor of her forbidden love of chocolate. Also there were some really fast duckies, so that was nice.

“For those underage or who have not confirmed their age, Apple will turn on Web Content Filter and Communication Safety, which will not only restrict access to certain apps or websites, but will also monitor messages, shared photo albums, AirDrop, and FaceTime calls for nudity.”

The Internet is mostly held together by volunteers.

Brb, gonna go turn off the Solar System. 🫡

The New York Times must be destroyed.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

i think the fact that it's nearly impossible for a trans woman journalist to get a journalist job right now, especially if we're covering trans issues, but so many of us are able to make our living independently anyway shows the amount of demand there is for our work.

hey

It doesn't matter if a trans girl athlete theoretically has an advantage over than a cis girl for a very simple reason: the results of children's sports don't fucking matter. Kids score on the wrong goal, trip over their own feet, start crying for no reason and genuinely suck at sports.

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

So what I am getting from this antidepressant commercial is that if I take this drug I will beat depression by getting up the courage to ask out the cute Asian girl at the record store and also abruptly get a dog and have picnics. /1

This is her time

HollyK has thoughts in her comment to the article

this is why it's vital to loudly and publicly support trans women and push back against these narratives. it is imperative that we not let the loudest voice be this stupid cunt

Trans rights, ending ICE, and freeing Palestine all got huge cheers at my local No Kings protest. These are mainstream positions for the Democratic electorate. The party needs to fucking catch up.

He quotes a conservative activist: "What really motivated the Tea Party was a deep, philosophical disagreement with Obama about what government should be." Yeah, if there's anything I remember about the Tea Party, it's all the deep philosophers. Were they the ones holding "Go Back to Africa" signs?

Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution. There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.

More than anyone, it’s been the ultra normies who were radicalized in Trump 2.0. If you go to Bethesda in the DMV or Orange County, California or Cobb County, Georgia, you will meet white normies who make $200k+ who don’t just want to Vote Blue No Matter Who. They want to punish Republicans

There are several hundred people on the planet if you really think about it

Section 230 should be sacrosanct. But I struggle to see how it can survive if it were to exclude harms to all people through intentionally abusive design. These companies absolutely know what they're doing at scale to people. What other politically viable answer is there?

Been thinking about it since I saw JK Rowling posted this yesterday about the IOC's new policy, calling Imane Khelif a man. Imane Khelif was born female. She was raised as a girl. Her original birth certificate says female. She's always been a woman. But sure. "Men punching women."

Literally last month in Miami I was out at dinner and used the restroom. As I walked in, a woman came out of a stall, saw me, then looked over at the urinal and said "oh my god, this is the men's room!" We survived.

Francis was more Mike Shinoda whereas Leo is more Chester

On Nov 2024, airline execs were giddy about trump winning so that Biden era consumer protections could be reversed, etc. None more so than Delta’s CEO. Now Trump’s reckless war may ruin them, even put some out of business.

Open call for the full ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza on the Jerusalem Post. This is Israeli political culture, and as the author note: “This is not radical right-wing radicalism. It is merely sound and sober political science.” Genocide as as a science.

Was skeptical, so I checked The White House app permissions myself, jfc

Sophie is my first dog (ever), so I take every opportunity to capture fun moments together — even if she clearly had opinions about the photo shoot

👇🏽 great example of how the NYT continues to — has never stopped — engaging in platforming anti-Black, genocidal rhetoric and how it is so normalized that it is not discussed in those terms (not a criticism of Victor, just noting the way our cultural vocabulary shifts for discussions anti-Blackness)

This is zuck one month after going on Rogan podcast claiming he would never takedown content based on government requests ever again

The NYT purposefully mischaracterized the position of the AMA to make it seem like they changed policy and opposed gender affirming care on trans youth. It appears they have rejected efforts by the AMA to correct the record.

I repeat for the millionth time: the New York Times must be destroyed. They are the greatest danger to liberal democracy in the country. They abuse their authority to change "centrist" opinion on a dime. I look forward to the day where no one remembers the New York Times or their evil.

So the NYT is so committed to shitting on trans people that when the AMA tried to correct their reporting, they responded by saying they know more about the AMA's position than the AMA itself. That's zealotry.

Not exactly unbiased (I help run a nonprofit fundraising platform) but I continue to believe it's a big risk to run all this through your own accounts. I get why people do it and shit needs to get done but there's something to be said about having another entity responsible for the IRS compliance.

I’m glad the Supreme Court ruled that Trump has immunity because I wouldn’t want future presidents to be deterred from showing off this sort of fun memorabilia from their time in office.

is this anything

Because there are *always* Epstein connections, here's your friendly reminder that Prince Andrew was invited to the HBO Harry Potter set... Last year. www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/ro...

I guess, if nothing else, Hend Amry proves that you too can fall for propaganda into radicalizing you into hate, if you even so much as let your guard down for a second

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

Wisconsin has some of the highest average payday loan interest rates in the nation. After St. Vincent de Paul-Madison started a low-interest microloan program to help people avoid payday lenders, an Appleton organization decided to follow suit. Read the story: wisconsinwatch.org/2026/03/wisc...

just one moment of celebration for getting a major donor to move $3 million dollars this week to rent funds now if only there were more than one generous super-wealthy person and the news hadn’t moved on from this entirely predictable crisis

second: there's stuff NYC mayor mamdani could be doing now to backstop care for all the trans teens cut off by the sudden stoppage. in fact, he campaigned on it. afaik, he hasn't even properly addressed it. you can't call NYC a fucking “refuge" if it's institutions don't provide essential care!🧵

Shocking that throwing trans people under the bus in the most trans-friendly state in America hurts you in the Democratic primary theintercept.com/2026/03/19/s...

I'm sorry, what?

Okay what are the clackiest keyboard switches people? I need ALL THE CLACKS. Two NCIS officers typing on the same keyboard level clacks. I write best when it sounds like i'm in a bar fight with a gang of celery sticks.

ah ok, so this FCC router ban is basically a shakedown, requiring foreign router manufacturers (which is pretty much all of them) to obtain "conditional approval" from DHS or DOD, which you can assume involves a fee of some kind

Which is why Dem strategists insistence that “Democracy doesn’t poll well so don’t run on it” is both a miscalculation and an abdication of leadership.

insufficient. immoral. unacceptable. we don’t need ICE reforms. we don’t need better trained fascist shock troops. we need leaders who believe in a free society. and apparently we don’t need a Sen. Slotkin.
