The question "Why does this say male/female?" means that any trans person now has to explain their entire mental health and medical history to domestic or foreign government officials. This is de facto differential treatment that no other citizen has to face.

As an objective, agender person: why are men allowed?

This thread is tremendous. Keep unrolling to get more and more. And of course I gotta add my own contribution:

This better not be another false promise like the taco trucks.

Readers in Arizona, Michigan, & Georgia! Your senators have been getting a LOT of dedicated pressure to end the shutdown, without fixing healthcare. If you have a minute, go ahead & give them a call! Their job is to respond to constituents & they're mostly hearing from GOP voters rn.

Speaking as a millennial woman, it's sort of empowering to know there is nothing my people cannot subvert or destroy.

Is there a cognitive disorder where words constantly shuffle in your head and you have to express puns or they will torture you to death?

SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants. This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Rethinking my opposition to top-down academic purges if it means we can do something about the horrors of business schools and AI bros.

someone got indicted on the basis of “transporting antifa materials” for allegedly transporting a box of ZINES THEY’RE PROSECUTING PEOPLE FOR DOMESTIC TERRORISM OVER ZINES

Also, I would not trust the NYT to protect anonymity if the feds or state officials came with a subpoena to reveal sources so they could go after those parents. They'd fold faster than a cheap suit. NYTs reporters aren't going to risk jail to protect a trans kid.

Don't talk to the New York Times about trans issues. They will betray your trust and use your story to undermine access to care. That's exactly what Azeen Ghorayshi did with families of trans kids in Missouri.

LONDON. NYC. LONDON. NYC. SCRAPPIER. AHHHHHHHHHHH

This ain’t really my business but once you learn about the gender anxieties attendant on questions of integration, diaspora, and Zionism among Jewish communities, you kinda see it everywhere.

we’re about to find out if loving SimCity makes you a better mayor Mamdani was asked in 2002 by NY Mag what he wanted for Christmas and said SimCity 3000

Why is female joy so terrifying to weirdos and losers?

I am not a military strategist, but I have a vague memory that not feeding the troops was one of those big fuck-ups that Sun Tzu talked about.

what in the name of sweet holy christ is a sugar glider??? that sounds like a shitty 90s marvel character or a sex move i'm not old enough to know about

When I was 3 I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up and I said a sugar glider. I haven't lost that ambition. I mean look at that little guy go.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Don't trust a New York Times reporter. Don't talk to a New York Times reporter. They are the most ambitious journalists on the planet and will do anything to get the story their editor wants. The truth doesn't matter to them, only getting the story their editor wants so they can move up.

honestly this is what the Impossible/Beyond Meat guys should be working on. passably-goat-tasting-but-plant-based birria should be treated like the fucking Space Race

What is Zohran’s plan for getting me a girlfriend

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

The secret third cilantro gene (tastes like soap and we like it)

Free ferry riders hate free bus plan

Zohran says you’re trans now

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers. www.health.com/adhd-medicat...

Seems suboptimal.

If they want to rebrand a state as not an apartheid state, may I gently suggest an approach of not doing apartheid?

we should use ai to heaven ban billionaires from interacting with actual society

[NYT Opinion Writer voice] One Day Into Mamdani’s New York City, He’s Already Transing Our Teams

but of course also on a wide array of other forms of psychic wage, including just the basic sort of self-conception of status and privilege. elites suddenly got yelled at online and generally *not treated like elites,* and they really turned out to hate that

"the revolt of the bosses" is a good way of framing the elite reaction to woke 1. what's particularly interesting is that this isn't a reaction to an attack on profits--it's a reaction to changes in workplace culture-- which is to say, the psychic wage of hierarchy

I found this on Tumblr, and I'll admit, its pretty funny.

“The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) said the change would make choking in pornography a "priority offence" under the Online Safety Act, putting it on the same level as child sexual abuse material and terrorism content.” jfc what

When my great-grandfather arrived in New York City, his life would have been materially better under the policies of Mamdani; it’s unlikely he would be able to enter the country under someone like Trump, and his life would be short, painful and full of misery. Every single person deserves the former

I have a Masorti Jewish friend who I think identifies as a Zionist and whom folks on here would definitely call a Zionist. Yesterday they posted on elsewhere that they'd voted for Mamdani. Responses from their friends have included accusations of "enjoy the global caliphate". WTF is going on?

The lesson here is that in order to win elections going forward, centrists and Republicans need to cater more to women, specifically the wokest of women

his last words were actually “counting or not counting hunting accidents”

The unhinged responses to the obviously-going-to-be-fairly-normie Mamdani mayorship make me sure at least some are going to double down on Internet brain poisoning. (Once upon a time I would have thought the people saying the unhinged things were lying. Now I know better, they really believe it!)

The persistence of the "socialism is when Russia and Russia is when socialism" meme really just keeps getting more absurd. (I am assuming the "Я"-for-"R" substitution is "make it look Russian" thing.)

I'm gonna buy/steal the Post just this once so I can have this matted and framed.

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

how about no

Alright Dave Portnoy and Bill Ackman time to leave New York City and never return like you promised
