they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Chotiner: Tell me what you found interesting about these vampires. Documentarian: Well, it's just -- the group dynamics, I guess. Chotiner: I can see that. I can see finding Nandor, Laszlo and Nadia entertaining. Documentarian: Exactly. Chotiner: So. How many people did you watch them murder?

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

If the government is wondering why thousands of people tail ICE and film them it's because you have a propensity to lie!

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

pepper spraying someone in the face from inches away while they are already restrained on the ground should get you fired and land you in jail, no exceptions

This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

Personally if I was Anne Boleyn I’d be far more upset that someone made a musical about my head getting cut off

Brianna Ghey was targeted by classmates who knew her offline. Online, she made friends and a community, and was making content to help other trans kids like her. This is a grieving mother pushing for legislation that would have further isolated her trans child, that is supported by transphobes.

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.

we're launching a new reality show called the torment nexus where contestants will compete for a cash prize

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

this is pathetic to a degree i didn't realize was possible

is it normal for encyclopedias to include “skin tone” or just when they’re generated by a white nationalist’s ai?

I don't know about this, Woody. Maybe the guitar could say 'This machine gives fascists better training'?

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

THIS MAN IS NOT WELL

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

With the death of Bardot, the world's racists have become significantly less attractive.

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

Must be on an SSRI

Good morning and Happy Winter Solstice. 😊 I’m definitely looking forward to the returning of the light. Here’s a look back at my embroidery, The Lady in the Winter Garden for you today.🪡🌿🌺❄️🌲 *Completely freehand stitched in November 2023. #stitchedart #thesewingsongbird

if phillip k dick had been a horror writer this would be the title of one of his books that got adapted into a movie called like, BloodDrainers

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help. Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead. He continues to be a national embarrassment.

Watching people humanize ChatGPT while dehumanizing literal small human children is one of the most fucked things about this era.

me dressed up and exercising at the airport before my 8 hour flight

Jimmy Fallon would host the Hunger Games.

jimmy fallon has a knack for embracing scams

BREAKING: exclusive photo of imminent national security threat to the united states of america

if any part of your moral philosophy involves the phrase “Israel’s retaliation after Oct 7 can be justified” then I am gonna need you to go ahead and yeet yourself out of my followers

I realize everyone knows this, but you'll note that what he saw was two survivors trying to flip a boat over. Which is a thing literally fucking anyone in a shipwreck would do. The other stuff he said was fanfic he made up about them.

it’s so blatant how obvious this setup grift is

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

i semi-regularly think about this concept and way of describing it and crack up. absurd

An important detail is that little dude delivered this while wearing a red dress that brings to mind nothing so much as Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights music video. A true icon.

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy? Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy Nephew: How??? Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine Nephew: … Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

If three people host a podcast all three should be in a constant state of paranoia about being betrayed by the other two

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

it's not FOR us

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
