I really question whether I'll still live in the UK a year from now.

Companies love selling subscriptions while having the audacity to see anybody using one as a lost sale. They think you’re just getting stuff for free. It’s why services get worse over time. Executives want you to subscribe & still buy the things you subscribed for. They just want stuff for free.

We should invent a kind of canceling where the guy goes away

The Prince sold out in 48 Hours, so we added a second show! ⚔️🏳️‍⚧️ TICKETS HERE: calendar.dynastytypewriter.com/shows/the-pr...

It is astonishing to me that we're watching the entire US tech industry burn itself down, cutting real profit-drivers like game studios, all to prop up the AI grift most of the public has loudly opted out of.

What we already know is horrific. Imagine how bad discovery would be if the government is willing to pay our fees (something the government doesn’t readily do) just to avoid it.

We are just over $1000 away from hitting 50% funding in under 12 hours!!! Would LOVE to hit that and keep momentum going

Sounds like the necromancer keeping Mitch McConnell twitching and ruining lives may have run out of reagents to renew the curse

ICYMI: A Tokyo court ordered a lawyer to pay damages to Akutagawa Prize-winning author Li Kotomi for outing her as transgender on X. Li's legal team says it's believed to be the first such ruling in Japan to compensate a sexual minority for being outed.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

I hope the history books take pains to discuss how my extrajudicial public execution at the hands of fascist paramilitaries affected cis women

Once again, while she ain't PERFECT, there is absolutely no better choice for the face of the growing national leftist movement than AOC. She's the one.

Raise your hand if you've ever felt pressured or compelled to stay quiet about a problematic man in your movement or community because you knew you wouldn't be believed, you would be further traumatized, or you knew you would end up being blamed and harassed for affecting his future or popularity 🙋🏻‍♀️

this dynamic described by jenny racicot is, as i understand it, very common among progressive women in maine. they’ve been put in an impossible position and feel like they’re tanking platner’s campaign when in reality he did that on his own by being a violent and reckless person.

i will not forget the men who downplayed the earlier allegations of abuse against platner and said accepting them was just the price we had to pay to gain control of the senate. i hope they feel like fucking assholes.

The reason I oppose Republicans is they're filled with creeps , rapists, racists, and genociders. You don't oppose them by being the same thing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats begin withdrawing endorsements of Graham Platner after Maine Senate candidate faces sexual assault allegation.

A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

I don't know why everyone is being so mean to Charlie Kirk. Today marks 300 days since he last said something racist! I'm so proud of him. He's really changed for the better.

🌭we're all trying to find the guy who did this

Id take it further, I would argue that pain is the goal here. The more I think about it, the more I see the need to jail and institutionalize as a manifestation of the need to punish difference. The impulse to institutionalize disabled people overlaps and is born of the same anxiety/disgust/anger.

oh no i cant believe it but it looks like donald trump inserted himself into a story captivating the worlds attention, overshadowing a unifying event with overt corruption, in an attempt to seize attention and credit for himself

It still absolutely blows my mind that people fell for this ludicrous con.

NEW: The ICE office that customarily probes employee misconduct is being refocused to investigate ICE critics, opening hundreds of "doxing and threat" cases and subpoenaing tech companies to unmask anonymous posters. Detention facility inspections, meanwhile, are plummeting. by @regret.bsky.social

It’s surprisingly hard to convince otherwise reasonable people to take lightning danger seriously. When I was at Princeton, I had to argue MORE THAN ONCE with the rest of the astrophysics dept softball team that we shouldn’t be waving metal bats around in an open field when we could hear thunder 😑

this is actually the best way to clean them

The protest, along with similar ones, had the intended effect: the Italian gender recognition law was passed less than two years later, on the fourteenth of April 1982, and is still in effect to this day. Here are two articles about the protest. Happy Tits Out for Freedom day, folks :) 8/8 (end)

In my day, $18 of Taco Bell was enough food to kill you.

This... this is really fucked up, y'all. You've heard of throwing spaghetti against the wall to see if it sticks? Well, they're throwing it at everyone's wall, not just their own, and whatever "it" is, it sure ain't spaghetti. DoJ is now properly pronounced "degen."

fun fact: levi's denim jeans and the ottoman empire coexisted for roughly 60 years and its quite likely someone wore the former while being in the latter at some point

When she's like, "I'm boymoding" 10+ years in on HRT My sister in christ, you look like the bassist of a 90s grunge girl band. You're a walking gay panic generator. A lesbian just fainted across the street. That bi girl behind us is hyperventilating and not talking to you for a reason.

One of my favorite moments.

ICYMI Missouri very quietly passed into law the forced detransition of prison inmates as part of a Department of Corrections budget change in HB 2009. forcing someone to detransition is torture at best and murder at worst. guillotines.

People who are unfamiliar with the UCMJ may not realize that for an active duty major to do this in uniform, the consequence can be court martial and incarceration. All of it is prohibited, but the wearing of the uniform was an intentional choice, and a likely forfeit of both his career and freedom.

Did bluesky devs 'vibecode' again? Is that why all the pictures have been sent into the shadow realm?

Normalize using parasols again.

Fill your garage with Hogwater.

Breaking news: Alex Jones has popped like a balloon.

I swear, "a pope from Chicago excommunicates a Nazi-adjacent sect" is like a cut scene from The Blues Brothers

Hormone therapy is medically necessary healthcare Forcibly removing someone from it is not only cruel but it is dangerous to their mental and physical health These people want trans prisoners to suffer and die They are murderers
