Libs are really like, "Barney Frank was right. He's been advocating for an incremental approach to transgender rights for several decades now, dating all the way back to when transgender people had more rights."

A very big fuck you to anyone suggesting trans people Should ask for our own segregated spaces

Try to imagine a Republican Party with a dozen or so staunch abortion advocates. A dozen pro-choice Republicans wrecking every shot at eroding women's autonomy, ruining every anti-choice vote. Can't picture it, can you? Yet we have to accept this kind of Democratic Party, for some reason.

when I was going through some rocky career patch or another, mfers on ye olde twitter were quick with "learn to code"; how's that workin' out for ya, champ

Hell of a week for the opposition: 8 Senate Dems voted to confirm a Trump judge who wouldn’t admit Biden won. A Dem governor pardoned an election denier who orchestrated a breach of her county’s election system. 8 House Dems voted for a bill attacking trans rights in schools. Feel represented?

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

Have fun being endlessly tortured in Hell for your evil deeds in life, lads www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

How do you believe we had the technology to go to the moon, but couldn't manage to film it? What a wild position to take.

Only DisneyAI puts you in the scene with "Remix Mode". Click the magic wand while you're watching to activate your camera and just like that - now you're the star!

“They were playing sports before, for goddamn decades, and you never heard about it and society did not collapse. You were duped. Stop being duped.” This is not difficult

He died doing what he loved - undermining the rights of trans people.

Again, that this stuff doesn’t immediately end his presidency is a total failure of Article I of the Constitution. A complete collapse of the polity.

This is what frustrates me the most about that line of argument. It's not something trans people, as a whole, were agitating for. It was just... kind of how it was. The reason it's a whole thing now is because *Republicans* made it a thing. The people making this argument are misrepresenting it.

Sometimes i think they wanna murder the Trans Femmes so bad cuz we know what they say when they think there's only cis men in the room. Anyways, goodnight.

Ew. These arent children - they are adults who forked over a shitton of money for a degree to get jobs he's trying to give to robots. Boo away, graduates

Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan

They are destroying the internet because they have trilions riding on magic beans. The destruction of search engines? The forcing of AI that you accidentally click on? The piles of "Think of the children!" bills they're sponsoring? Literally all to force you to buy their magic beans.

Just go ahead and put a horse on the packaging, why doncha

one of the most politically formative books I’ve ever read is Barry Werth’s “31 Days,” which is about the month after Nixon’s resignation and the slow, grinding process of everyone bullying Ford into pardoning him even though he didn’t want to. he knew it would fuck us all over, and he was right

society's already collapsed and you need to make peace with that and move on with your life

Can anyone point to a moment in American history where “Instead of prosecuting these people who violated the law to serve their own political ends I think they should face no consequences so we can heal our divided nation” didn’t make things worse

Thomas Edison and Elon Musk have some things in common. Namely; Being horrible people Being absolute hacks Wanting to be Nikola Tesla really, reeeeeally bad, and failing miserably

terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

so sick of everyone pissing on us and telling us it's raining SHE COMMITTED CRIMES AND WAS CONVICTED

Thinking on it, AOC has let me down fewer times than any national politician of significance in memory, which is extra notable because I expect so much of her to begin with. Just a terrific human being and a rare, rare political talent.

This shit makes me so angry and sad.

With its new AI-based "search," Google is literally killing the infrastructure that its entire business is built on. Instead of linking people to the web, it will lock users into an "interactive" mode that slorps up data what is rapidly becoming the now-neglected and unvisited web. (1/3)

from movies to music to this, it punches me in the face every day to realise the people with the most power and money in the world are, somehow, even dumber than we'd ever thought

I'll vote for the first candidate to promise to rip that agreement up and put the whole family in Gitmo.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

However appalled you are by this, it’s not enough. It’s a frank statement that Trump and Trumpists are above the law and need not even plausible excuses to loot your tax dollars. It’s a total failure of our civic institutions.

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

The AI boom is unsustainable because the entire thing is predicated on cannibalizing the future. Is this a better way to search? Maybe! Will there be anything new for the AI to search if no one gets web traffic from Google Search anymore? There will not.

Every day of Trump 2.0 I think “it can’t get more outrageous than this,” and I am wrong. This slush fund thing is so fucking rancid and unacceptable and I hate the feeling and reality that no politician is going to stop it, or call in Batman or something. This is not a country.

Anyway, it's really interesting when someone's like, "They're too extreme!" and then literally all 3 of their complaints are just various things about trans people that range from misleading to flat out false. I'm sure this isn't just him being bigoted or anything.

I really don’t get Grahams point here, because Ch4 pulled that episode of IT Crowd *and* all episodes of MAFS US because of their (stated) morals. There’s no inconsistency in their actions here.

Here is Elon Mush bragging about how he "accidentally" canceled all Ebola prevention efforts.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

[Darth Vader when he strikes Obi-Wan down and he disappears leaving only his robes behind] Damn that’s… that’s not what happened to all those kids

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

The only thing people hate more than AI are the sociopaths shoving it down our throats.

best trend of 2026. boo all these fuckers.

All of these fuckers should be in prison, from the Jan 6ers to anyone who tried to game the vote to help Trump. But, instead, they get treated like special angels instead of traitors.

uhh so spoilers from history, but at no point has opening camps that concentrate people into warehouse like structures without legal recourse and then forced them to work for free/almost no pay has ended well that's bad actually

billionaires are the actual minority that is destroying society.

The story of the Trump administration: They get richer. You pay more.
