it's a mistake to compare the cost of your newsletter or podcast to a cup of coffee. that cup of coffee is the best treat i'm allowed to have every single day. no podcast is comparable to the beverage that justifies staying alive. instead market your newsletter as two thirds of a sweetgreen salad

reading this my main thought is that the leavitt family appears to be a bunch of degenerates and this woman was unlucky to enter their orbit

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

speaking directly to the transfems rn, cissies look away ~ i had no transfem community (online or irl) when i was preparing to transition circa 2016-2018. i had an old-school gender therapist, bc i didn’t know informed consent existed. she made me social transition for a year before HRT. (1/?)

This country is so stupid man

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

So a few things: 1) The initial boat strike was illegal; 2) The two survivors were trying to continue their drug run by clinging to wreckage?! 3) The initial boat strike was illegal.

HELL YEAH A MILLION REPOSTS

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder. We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

This OU bullshit, where this trans TA’s job is imperiled because she’s trans, is something I remember trying to explain to cis people I could see on the horizon like… four or five years ago, and no one would believe me, and it turns out now that it’s happening, no one still believes me lol

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

How do people not see that the entire OU essay thing is just an attempt by this girl and the Turning Point chapter to turn her into another Riley Gaines grifting on trying to push trans people out of society?

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Northwestern University offered bland reassurance to trans students and faculty after signing a deal with the Trump administration that sacrificed them for restored funding. More here from the peerless @valorievandieman.bsky.social: www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

with all disrespect to the brands, 30% off is really not all that exciting in this economy

Trumpism and Trumpists are incompatible with American culture and traditions and should be purged.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Straight-up sociopath. Asked about a Guard member who’s dead because of his bullshit and it takes him 30 seconds to make it all about how great he is.

black friday savings used to be good. like $100 for a $1000 tv before 6 am.. just another thing zoomers will never know like owning a home or falling in love

Just call us the t-slur at this point. I’d respect that more. www.erininthemorning.com/p/bbc-now-ca...

butlerian jihad but only for leaf blowers

Politicians who make political decisions to deploy the military into situations that get service members killed for no good reason. They need to be held accountable.

I enjoy every pie and every type of thanksgiving food like a pig at the trough

A new kind of rapid Chotining. Please appreciate the alt-text.

I generally try not to comment on Twitter but Isaac Chotiner is over there giving Semafor body blows right now and I just want to say I find it alarming that he's allowed to come for you without warning (asking for an interview)

Would this be the same boomers who spent the last two years calling Gen Z college students "Hamas" for protesting a genocide and telling them they deserved to get their heads cracked by cops?

Where is Gen Z? They're at WORK motherfuckers. They're broke

For @aftermath.site, I spoke to @imodrew.bsky.social, the Sucker Punch dev fired after making a Charlie Kirk joke. She paints a picture of an industry that all too often ignores bad actors until those bad actors threaten them financially. aftermath.site/sucker-punch...

this is the most important piece of video game writing since the original SBI piece. read it, and realize that if you're not in the industry, you're being sheltered from a firing squad that picks targets randomly and with impunity, ruining lives with wild abandon

I’d swap TFA and Solo but that’s splitting hairs, JB is a real ball knower.

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

THATS OOMF @liawithani.bsky.social

BREAKING: At least 18 Palestinians have been killed in a spate of Israeli drone and missile attacks throughout northern and central Gaza, hospital sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/iw6mmd

This article fills me with blinding rage. That people encourage the bullying and systematically cut off the supports of trans youth is evil of the highest order.

yeag

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

happy trans day of remembrance. you are beautifully and wonderfully made and I will never stop fighting for you. the world is better because you are in it

every trans suicide is a murder every trans murder is a policy consequence and the bodies keep piling up as the elected officials who today tell us they care about us — ALL of them. — still label the hate against us as a “distraction” sorry, the funeral i went to last week was not a distraction

Bad news: Senator John Fetterman's book isn't selling. We need to support our Democratic senators if we want to take back Congress in 2026. That means walking the walk and putting our money where our mouth is — even if we disagree sometimes. Support the Fetterman Book Fund! 👉 bit.ly/UnfetteredBook

We need more anglophobia

"It's hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”

An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame. But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.

middlebury college student lia smith killed herself one month ago after facing harassment for being a trans athlete you will not hear her name once on cable tv don’t let them erase her #TDOR #TransDayOfRemembrance
