I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

so I'm not saying 100, but like 50% of the motivation for these things is "if your kids don't find out about Gay they can't catch it," right

His name being "Ogles" is what really makes it.

kind of randomly decided to rewatch The Prisoner for the first time in years and sitting here thinking that *this* was what Animal Crossing was all about

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.

“what happens when we die?” uhhhh look kid sometimes men like men & women like women amongst other possibilities.

Only British Vogue has the courage to publish true science as it was practiced in the 18th century Transactions of the Royal Society

It’s like they have some competition to see who can write and advance the most blatantly unconstitutional and morally bankrupt bill possible.

This proposed act is so evil.

This is their whole thing. They're nostalgic for a world that never existed, because they have no concept of the distinction between fiction and reality, and they're sure this world was *stolen* from them, and their strategy is to keep killing hostages until it's somehow returned to them.

yes

Whenever I see fellow lefties calling for limits to constitutional rights for particularly awful people, I want to say: the question isn't "is this person evil enough to not get rights," but "do you trust the *government* decide who is evil enough to not get rights."

Hey, my name is in the Epstein files! I've told the story before, but should probably re-up. TLDR: never met the guy, never took (or asked for) any money from him, never visited the island. I was invited to the island, and said no. It's not that hard to just say no.

I'll always remember listening to Bisexuality's "Newsweek" EP for the first time: "Cappuccino vs Cowboys," and "Inside the White House" were such a fresh new sound, I was stunned. And then... then it hits me with "Not Gay. Not Straight. A New Sexual Identity Emerges." It was downright mind-blowing.

That blows my mind.

IS NOTHING SACRED

Apparently the zombocom domain expired yesterday and was presumably bought out by some other jackass who launched this vibe-coded IMPOSTOR

This is the sign of a very sick Internet. Zombocom was always a constant source of joy.

We’re onto you, Ring

Netanyahu is a war criminal who belongs in the Hague, but the only references to Netanyahu in the Epstein files are emails sent exchanging articles about him, or others discussing him. I think it's very bad that the most popular left-wing streamer on the internet is a raging antisemite.

not sure what this is directly referencing but yeaaaaaa

The idea that an 5-year-old citizen is somehow harmed by a 5-year-old non-citizen being present within our borders makes my blood boil

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

“The world is not exactly as a I perceived it when I was 12 years old and this makes me mad!” is pretty much the foundation for the current state of society.

I have just been introduced to the linsang and I think I now have a new favorite animal (sorry chinchillas)

do you think i could get a catholic priest to turn heavy water into heavy holy water

Aside from being a lie about how they behave when Democrats are in power, this has to be the most pathetic and “strongly worded letter” vision of politics imaginable www.liberalcurrents.com/s/

Please sir cease your illegal activities

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

fyi

The number of trans youth suicides in the UK quadrupled in 2021 following significant restrictions in access to care. The NHS tried to cover this up with a fake report that tried to hide the truth. goodlawproject.org/new-data-sho...

"Why doesn't the culture of a different species on another planet like a millennium in the future gender specific articles of clothing in the exact way that we do here and now?" will never stop being a hilarious take.

...the fuck?

hitting the Discover tab is always a tragedy but this is a particularly rough case as harried office workers flood in to sigh "I wish I lived like my kitty does lol 🐱" at M - slut -- fuck doll extraordinaire

I don't mean to be jaded but I am 43 and I have lived through so many "this time we're really taking sexual harassment and rape seriously" cultural shifts and after a certain point you stop believing in them

A higher percentage of American Jews (39%) believe Israel to be guilty of genocide than identify themselves as Zionists (37%). This is not the impression one would get from most media coverage of American Jews. Sources: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... www.jta.org/2026/02/05/u...

I am once again in the position of having to go to work while my cat is sitting here being extremely soft

again: you can openly pursue a policy of ethnic cleansing and be received as engaging in "racially charged rhetoric" so long as you are not sufficiently rude about it. and yet the present administration cannot manage even this

in the elite circles of the US, racism is treated less as a matter of social stratification with direct implications for political stakes and more as a matter of moral etiquette. it is even more notable, then, that this administration can't constrain themselves to the meager associated standards

I'm so tired of this dynamic where Republicans say "Democrats want oPeN bOrDeRs" and Democrats say "no way we are solemnly committed to border security." Open borders are good, actually. Closed borders are a violent means of preserving global wealth inequality.

This woman was Ivy League educated and a member of the upper eschelons of society. I'd spent time in domestic violence shelters and mental institutions. You know what you learn from mingling with the bottom rung of society that you don't learn at an Ivy? There's a lot of talent being missed.

I once got in a Slack debate with the editor-in-chief of a publication, a woman, who believed that for society to benefit from genius men those men's abuse of women might need to be tolerated. I argued that the loss of contributions of the women they abused could easily be worth 10x their own.

"Rules barring political symbolism" seem like weird things to have at such a national-flag-infested event. bsky.app/profile/jule...
