James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars. Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

Viva a democracia! Viva o Brasil!

Israeli War Has Plunged Gaza Into Worst Economic Collapse Ever Recorded: UN Report

The irony of these people complaining about the invented dangers of immigrants and then welcoming brain pollution from overseas hustlers.

one function of capitalism is to funnel these types into positions of power, because if competent & kind people get into power they start taking from the rich and giving to the poor. capitalist leaders must be either evil or ignorant or both, only by mistake does anyone else get near power

And here's the full "GTO" fanart I already bought from Anthony Ho two years ago (still on his booth at Japan Expo festival) with another fanart (of Takeshi Kitano's film "Kikujiro" ;-).

In Mario Kart 64, it is possible to "annoy Lakitu into quitting". If the player keeps driving out of bounds in Frappe Snowland and get rescued by Lakitu, at some point Lakitu will drop the player into the water and no longer perform any rescues.

Yes please

A new study found that the United States was responsible for 55 percent of the pollution emitted by private jets globally.

Interesting how they have left out how several recent reviews have recommended trans care for youth in European countries. Doesn’t fit their narrative I guess. www.erininthemorning.com/p/new-german...

Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people. These bastards want us all dead.

In Super Mario 3D World, the flowers dance to the music. In addition to having different movements for different parts of the song, they even have a tiny special dance for the "100 seconds left" jingle.

We rose this weekend and we’re not bowing anytime soon. #NoKings

Not too shabby. Now we build on it. www.thedailybeast.com/data-guru-g-...

The Marines are being sent into the streets. A Senator was tackled and handcuffed by federal agents. The president is holding a military parade on his birthday. Two state lawmakers were just shot. This is America in 2025. It is now beyond doubt: Our democracy is in peril.

Yep. The very second you decide it’s okay to take rights away from trans people, you’ve decided that taking rights away from anyone is an okay thing to do. A precedent will be set - either human beings deserve human rights or they don’t. Only naive dipshits think they can pick and choose.

Frankly being a wheelchair user around these kinds of cars is absolutely terrifying because judging by the amount of near misses I’ve had with land rovers they clearly can’t see me. I fundamentally do not understand why we allow cars to get more and more dangerous for non-drivers!

The basic fallacy in chasing votes by being "tough on immigration" is that the modal American's position on the issue is "Deport the Bad ones and keep the Good ones," and they alone know who is which, and that simply does not translate into workable policy. So this kind of gestapo stuff (1/2)

True story bro.

I reviewed Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, a glorified user manual that costs $10. A premium demo. A tutorial you pay for. Nintendo's reached new heights of audacity and sunk to a new low. Read here: www.thejimquisition.com/post/nintend...

They can also still charge you with resisting arrest (e.g., obstruction) even in the case of unlawful arrests. Yes, you read that correctly: in the United States the police can detain you illegally and charge you with a crime for resisting it. ACAB, abolish the police and the carceral state

happy switch 2 release day

For Pride, I’m remembering Lucy Hicks Anderson, trans woman who transitioned as a kid in the late 1800s. She was an incredible socialite and cook, so much so that when she was arrested and a banker got her out of jail because they had a party and she was the cook! We have always been here.

This Pride month, don’t forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.

Suddenly remembered the SNART bracelet and felt more joy than I have experienced in years

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

unions: they get the job done

NEW: The US government has collected DNA from over 100,000 migrant children—including a 4-year-old—and uploaded their genetic profiles into a national biometric database meant for sex offenders and violent criminals. www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

This is a really common belief but... Jerome absolutely understood the translation choice he made (from קרן, “radient”, to cornuta, “horned”). In fact, in his commentary on Ezekiel he wrote: "Moses’ face had been glorified, or as it says in the Hebrew, horned." A 🧵 on translation & its afterlives

There is a protest planned for Sunday at 5pm

FYI: @rns.org broke this story, and we're probably gonna break many more this year too. In this instance, that was largely because we've been covering faith-based refugee resettlement more than anyone for years. That's true of many things we cover. Follow RNS — and hire more religion reporters.
