The little domino, big domino meme from “pretty blonde lady gets famous for having giant tits and farting on mtv” to “Polio back!” is a wild one

Yeah the internet might have been the biggest blunder in the history of the world but I'm sticking with humoring Jenny McCarthy as the beginning of the "stupid people allowed to speak out of turn" path that led us to Nancy Mace being allowed to speak on science to an audience

If we're calibrating current events according to the Niemöller poem scale, how late in the poem does "and then they came for the former head of the national police force who was a member of the ruler's party who helped him get elected" come?

I think it's kinda hilarious that Kamala Harris had a ghost writer write a book that is basically "leftists were right about why I suck" and is now touring the country talking about it.

Not to give the fascists any ideas, but I expected that by this stage of fascism they'd have their game locked in enough to use the enormous resources they have and to deepfake confessions from shooters instead of writing on bullets with magic markers

Ok, FBI saying “engraved with anti-ICE messages and someone writes “Anti-ICE” on a shell in sharpie is some keystone cops business.

Y'all fight for comedians. Which is why you don't have Black journalists to oppose Trump, but you do have famed resistance leaders *check notes* Matt Parker and Trey Stone.🤷🏿‍♂️ Kimmel is interviewing Gavin Newsom in his return. His podcast guests were the dudes that got the Black journalists fired.

The Caligula sequel isn’t even living up to the basic road standards of the first one

The only disagreement I have with this is that I question whether we were ever the leader or whether we were Europe's musclebound henchman, impoverishing our own while arming ourselves to the teeth so that EU and NATO members could invest in their citizens' well being behind a curtain of safety

If I were to do a discord for trans fems who like old (pre-wotc) versions of D&D and like Big Dungeons in particular, would anyone be interested in that

Trek had a chance to do the funniest thing ever, by writing Bashir off the show for failing to seal the deal with his own great-grandmother youtube.com/shorts/CdxzE...

It’s been 8 hours and they still haven’t found a trans person to blame for the escalator

My Pathfinder party is off to a place called The Yearning Sanctum that's my fuckin bedroom 😭

"The science isn't clear." This sounds awfully familiar as a trans person.

God, someone could fix me if they did this to me

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

At the very least report that they are either 1) malicious liars trying to create a heath crisis to justify targeting neuroatypical people or 2) too profoundly ignorant to be trusted to hold any office of public trust or operate a garbage disposal without assistance

Every headline should read "Health in America is entirely broken when malicious fools like this are permitted to drive policy" or words to that effect. It's not editorializing, it is simply observable fact.

Weasel framing of the day. Rather than stating the plain truth that RFK and Trump are dangerous loons who have each presided over heath disasters, this instead positions these unqualified fools as certain and scientists as uncertain, and validates the canard that autism is a disease to prevent.

I just sent a hot tip to the NYT that the president of the United States publicly called for the Attorney General to persecute his political opposition, the most blatant such corruption in U.S. history, and an obviously impeachable offense. Let’s see if they decide to cover it! www.nytimes.com/tips

every single member of the republican party with a mar a lago membership has credible, mutual blackmail threats from at least five different people, and donald trump has five different things on every single one of them

The forbidden always becomes the taboo always becomes the desired

anyway topically I'm going to start a countergrift based in the philosophy of that one japanese fujo who posted "the top should have an average dick for ease of use, it's the bottom who should have a huge dick because it's there to be decorative" but for nipples now. those are your manospheres bro

joining the manosphere and grifting off the idea that no man should have nipples

People who hang out on TikTok and Instagram: please repost reactions and explanations from the disappointed unRaptured

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

I know this is a radical position that will probably enrage people But hear me out: What if this thing we call autism is just the way some peoples’ brains work Not an illness. Not a brain injury. Not a defect. Some. Peoples’. Brains. Are. Different. And they don’t need to be fixed

It’s cool, I’m sure the makers of Tylenol don’t even have lawyers

Republican Sunday: YOU HAVE AWAKENED A DRAGON OF WHITE RAGE WE WILL SWIM IN THE BLOOD OF OUR TERRORIST ENEMIES AS THEIR CHILDREN WORK OUR SLAVE CANPS Republican Monday: we’re sweet widdle puddy tats what never hurted a fly and the mean man’s post fwightened us so bad we cwosed up our widdle eyes

Me (To my wife): Did you put a pentagram in the front yard so we don't get raptured tomorrow? Wife: No, I put a pentagram in the front yard because it's the autumnal equinox.

...knowing Jəsse's the author (& that gender-affirming care practitioners are well aware of his biases & tactics) utterly changes the meaning of the last paragraph. without attribution, it makes it sound like the authors are suspiciously dodging the question. in actuality they know he's a bad actor!

...apparently he tweeted about it several days ago. it seems weird that The Economist purposely hid his name from readers. unless of course they knew that readers might already be aware of Jəsse's long history of bias on this issue...

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

The institutional Democratic Party is basically a vehicle for rich donors to make sure that when public backlash to terrible Republican policies causes Republicans to lose, the opposition does as little damage to rich people’s interests as possible and cedes power back as quickly as possible

In case you missed it, the wankturds that spent the last 8 years whining about puberty blockers for trans kids being bad because of "off-label" and "experimental" use, are now ... *checks notes* ... recommending a drug for off-label use in the experimental treatment of autism.

Things are scary right now but when we share bad information or pretend that the state is more powerful or capable of harm than it actually is we do the fascists' work for them (FWIW I think Klippenstein is usually more responsible than that but that headline did a tremendous amount of damage)

Especially as a trans anarchist I feel a strong responsibility to not trigger fear responses. It's like when we're facing down the cops and they fire a less lethal: people who are new start to run, it is so often anarchists who say "dont run, dont panic!" Move intentionally! Gauge the threat!

Don't he and Rob Schneider have a production company in Arizona that's waiting for him to show up for work? Provided that he can stay out of court for stalking any more minors online?

a goth woman could come up to me on the street and put a collar on me and id just be like yayy she owns me now and id follow her home like the happiest dog in the world

Anyone can have a decent code and stand by it, and sometimes you have to look in weird places to find the spiritual elbow grease those convictions need to stick to your post. I love everyone who's good at it. Evangelicals are posers tho, weak weak weak, spiritual dead zone wankers, get in the bin.

In recent months I've started referring to my gender identity simply as "trans person" as a way to make myself accessible to coworkers and acquaintances who shut down over the expanding modern vocabulary or over nonbinary people as a concept, but I've coming to love the term and embrace it.

also like historically and factually the new atheist movement all just ended up being academic-sounding iraq war apologia and every one of its major figures ended up being a reactionary "rationalist" ideologue come on now

religion is a tool through which to construct an epistemology and/or community. it's words. if you don't have a heart and lack any passion then it doesn't matter whether you're faithful or not

religion is what gives me my strength to stay true to my morals but it's not the source of them. i don't need them to be - i'm a good person regardless. likewise, declining to be religious isn't going to make anyone a better person if all they want to do is take advantage of people.

Hey y'all I made some more furry art this time with physical pen and ink I tried a more creepy tilt this time Biblically Accurate Angel Furby Furry #furryart #sketch #artsky #furby #furryartist

many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

The second they realized they couldn't actually win the trans angle they just gave up and said fuck it, pray for the poor soul

OH, so Charlie Kirk was the surrogate son for a bunch of elderly conservative weirdos whose adult children have gone no-contact for whatever reason. This explains everything
