The billionaire lifestyle is unnatural and dangerous. It leads to moral decay, flies in the face of family values, and has been known to encourage criminal activity. Billionaires are a sexual threat to our children. Their agenda must be stopped. I’m not a bigot, I am merely Spender Critical.

Russel, my man, a trans woman and a gender critical can categorically not end up “on the same side” except for the gender fascism to come for the bigot as it comes for us, in the process overtly confirming the gender crit was in fact Wrong

We can't continue this decades-long tantrum about the fact the sex is more porous, mutable, and dimorphic than Catholics are comfortable with.

I think people forget the “you can’t change your sex” slogan is a newer line of GC rhetoric with only recent purchase. For nearly a century “sex change” was an accepted term, and while deployed clumsily and poorly, it was also understood as a reality the nuances of which were largely irrelevant.

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

My personal opinion is that women use AI less because they are way better at being suspicious of flattery, and because our intelligence has *always* faced accusations of being lesser than, and we’re used to doing our work regardless.

All Democratic leadership need to learn this lesson; do not be nice to fascists, do not engage with them in good faith, do not treat them with any respect at all. Fuck them now and forever.

Shawty got ice, ice, baby?

we need a clear regulatory line between bike-type devices and motorcycle-type devices. and a scooter this fast should probably not be legal at all. dude was wearing a full face helmet and he still died

The true irony here is that Project 2025 itself was named in direct response to the 1619 Project, demonstrating how race is sitting at the center of their reactionary project, and in response to this, Project 2029 has no answers or remedy.

Over the course of several decades, I've learned to admit when I was wrong. I was absolutely on the wrong side of this particular breakup and I humbly apologize and will work to make a guill... I mean amends.

The greatest death scene since Paul Reubens in the Buffy movie.

If you ever look at the Berrymores or Baldwins and think talent is an inheritable characteristic, remind yourself that the Van Dykes also exist.

how are a bunch of E3s supposed to afford hotels and travel to D.C.? Doesn't the Admin know they have F-150s purchased at 38% APR to pay off?

*sighs in ancient New Ager* If She didn't give you the details, you shouldn't be messing around with the crystals, dude. Why do think your house burned down?

if one removed people who obsessively talk about teenagers' genitalia in public, a huge swathe of the conservative movement would simply vanish

Apropos of ICE, ICE, baby, if you didn't hate all the people who know how to throw a good party, you could have had a good party. Just sayin

Update: 100K people have now read this very good Drew Magary column and Google sent just 2.5K.

🤣🤣🤣

I personally have landed on "the only mess I clean up is my own and that's how I like it", but this is good advice. Advice I see more and more young women taking as the young men turn to hammers and racist mass murder.

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

If you’re a leftist in the US you need to hold yourself to a standard where you can recognize what Bernie has done for the left in the past but more-so have to recognize that we all need to move so far to the left that Bernie is seen as incredibly & disappointingly moderate

This is very good and, as your friendly neighborhood SEO guy, i can add some context The modern internet is basically built on an agreement that sites will give google access in exchange for driving traffic That arrangement has been unilaterally ended by google

I bet they'd know this if their criteria for hiring a Secretary of Transportation had included something other than "experience in reality television"

I’m not sure Harris was going to win, but when the DNC muzzled Tim Walz and told him to stop calling the GOP “weird,” it was over. Weird is the nicest thing you could call these genitalia-obsessed monsters, and the positive response to Paulina’s tweet should tell the Dems to fight fire with fire.

Right, so this is a discussion that I also tend to have with a lot of senior government attorneys. But the issue is not that the constitution is flawed! beyond the Juan Linz sense. The problem is that rightwing billionaires packed the Supreme Court with hacks who have rewritten our constitution

And then usually: [atty looking embarassed] Sorry I don’t like to talk about that all the time, but I think about it every day, and let’s be real here we all know what’s happening I’ve had a convo like this with at least a dozen ppl fm diff agencies over the last yr and it always hits me hard

Usually the convo goes like this: [Senior govt atty] Yeah, things are bad in my agency, man [Me] I’m at NIH, lemme tell you [atty, getting excited] Hard to know what’s legal, rly [me]Yeah, almost seems admin law is dead [atty, now laser eyes] OF COURSE IT IS WE WILL NEED A NEW CONSTITUTION

Thomas Jefferson was wrong about a lot, starting with "it's ok to own other humans". But. He said this & I can't stop thinking about it lately. "Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of 19 years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force and not of right."

This is a very apt way of putting it: the problem with the Constitution of 1789 isn't so much that it's flawed (it surely is, but you can fix flaws with amendments) But rather that it has lapsed, that it is in abeyance

Someone asked me the other day, “If Trump can just do whatever he wants, then a Democratic president can too. why is Medicare for All impossible? Why are reparations impossible? Why is anything off the table?”

Gee I wonder why women and girls are less inclined to use tools that were popularized via their ability to create fake nude photos of women and girls

The entirety of masculine culture is built on a foundation of blaming women for anything that doesn't go their way.

I think another thing that annoys me about the Patagonia vs. Pattie Gonia thing is that the drag queen is just a straight up liar. He's now started saying he chose the drag name because of the Patagonia region, but has said in the past that he named himself after the brand. He's a liar.

“NASA has had a number of explosions over the years, typical government incompetence, we must privatize space exploration” [every privatized rocket immediately explodes upon launch] “ah! well, nevertheless,”

You're accusing me, a trans woman, of transphobia... for... referring to a man with a mustache who lives his life *as a man* as "he" and "him?" Are you for real? Lol.

I mean, drag itself is both misogynistic and Patriarchy-enforcing, but I'm real clear that none of y'all are ready for that discussion.

The Billionaires will never be satisfied until they are in control of Every. Fucking. Cent.

Everything this fucking regime does is one of the worst things I've ever heard of in my life.

DEVELOPING: Rob Lowe’s band from St. Elmo’s Fire has withdrawn from President Trump’s America 250 celebration.

Perhaps I am too idealistic, but I prefer Presidents who don't give massive amounts of money to countries we're at war with. (Presidents who don't start wars they can't win are also preferable.)

The ultimate reason not to fuck with the Creeper Glasses. No one wants to die of boredom.

You can tell a man who hasn't ever cleaned for himself decided on this because if you knew how to clean you would know what you need to do. Someone said that all modern tech is trying to do is replace tech bros mom's and it's not hard to unsee this.

the trans athlete panic is wildly overblown and overrun by misinformation. it is completely vibes based and allergic to any reality or fact.

required reading. there were trans people who have known this the entire time and i've never faced such hostility from cis people when trying to tell them the facts. most of them didn't want to hear any of it. your concerns were not reasonable or fact based. it was a witch hunt.

Yeah, "failed casino owner with Daddy issues" doesn't really scream "bigger body count than Pol Pot" but when you factor in the decimation of USAID...

2010: we’ll start a business that makes money by selling a product or service to customers 2026: fuck customers, our product or service makes money by being terrible but having leftover customers from when it was good

Oh hey, Gavin took a break from shitting on trans kids to do A Good Thing. About fucking time.

A lot of white people learned about the Tuskegee experiment during the pandemic and believe that is the reason Black people don't trust the medical establishment. This is not true. Black people don't trust the medical establishment because the Tuskegee experiment is not an outlier.
