Trump's gift to the reactionary centrists is the pogrom against trans people they've been baying for

I am so tired

What Trump is doing is a "one and done" scenario, and I don't think we have come to grips with what the "done" state looks like, but I can guarantee you it looks like far nearer to total abdication then most Americans realize. There is no coming back from this.

it's just a fact. you can't have a global hegemon who every few years is at risk of electing a lunatic government that will undo treaties, start murdering people in international waters on a whim, stop aid programs, and slap wanton tariffs on the world capriciously. we have no credibility anymore

guys it's really important to let film companies steal all available video or else we'll never get my Julia Child: Racoon Warrior movie

this was refreshing to see

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

This is a pretty big deal; Heavyweight Champ is an early predecessor to fighting games, is TTL-based (and therefore difficult to emulate) and there are no extant units that I'm aware of. All we've had is a few precious seconds of it being played from a newscast. Here's hoping it lives again soon.

hell yeah dude

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Israel is deliberately depriving people of aid in #Gaza. MSF’s new report shows how restrictions blocked medical supplies, sometimes even forcing our teams to perform procedures without anesthesia. Read the report: ow.ly/YZ8v50WZFBs

Having millions of people who categorically do not understand the concept of "it's a bit" suddenly exposed to GWAR is pretty magical

Before they can enter public service every American politician should be forced to watch The Lorax movie and then immediately asked to talk about its morality.

these look like two characters from an alien Just Dance game instead of aortas

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

As America's most pro-business leader in a generation, I will choose one company each week and accuse them of witchcraft

A trans woman invented the CPU in your phone Multiple trans women have worked on your browser, your operating system, and likely the foundations this app you’re reading this one There have been trans rabbis and priests We are part of society at all levels, we always have been We aren’t a threat

One of those lovely videos where a dementia patient sits at a piano and suddenly recalls how to play, but it's me at 87, and my family is tearing up when they put an old phone in my hand and I post "dick look like an elf after a Keebler industrial accident"

"In the name of 'fighting antisemitism', the Trump administration is publicly making an example out of arguably the most famous Jewish public intellectual in the country today."

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

This is not me, but it's the closest approximation I can find. If I get raptured tomorrow, apologies for ruining Rosh Hashanah.

1995 internet magazines were untamed

not going to worry about the rapture unless Waffle House closes

Today the cult leaders will claim to have figured out the cause of autism, and it'll be acetaminophen (Tylenol). Here's an enormous study on this very correlation with stringent methodology and a sample size of 2.4 million children. TL;DR - There's no link jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

reminder that you will never convince a republican to vote for a democrat, its not a real thing to any statistical degree that matters. what is real is exciting and activating the electorate by giving them what they need, but democrats are opposed to this which is why they are unsuitable opposition

for all people mock it wikipedia is genuinely one of the wonders of the modern world

Did you hear the rapture is this Tuesday? Wonder if folks are going to release inflatable dolls full of helium from the Golden Gate Bridge again.

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

I am told the kids today enjoy Kobolds #retroarcade #vending #germany

just look at that muscular neck

My pinball machine is in its natural habitat today. An arcade!

didn't notice this detail from the post until I saw it in the article, and while it's very obviously unacceptable even if they weren't, this does take it to an even higher level that if the united states worked correctly the ICE people wouldn't get away with doing this. they're the illegal ones here

quick refresh for the USA election season... Abjectification.

I am happy to say that my beautiful wife gave me this Polish movie poster for The Big Lebowski for my birthday (a genuine one, too, not one of the cheap reprints)

A thing that drives me mad as a trans woman in the US is that there is an organized hate campaign that is trying to kill us as a group, and the best the opposition can come up with is "yeah, let's exclude them from certain sports, agreed" like I know that's not quite true but it feels like it

are they going to make it illegal to snicker when trumpy dies?

Careful Ottawa friends - convoy barnacle dipshits marching around in a limp anti-trans protest.

Keep going, my friends. Appeasing fascism has a price and corporations need to feel it.

I GUESS it's pretty cool being so based that your very existence is declared subversive.

interesting document from the united states government
