Paying more money to get more expensive, environmentally destructive energy. There’s no financial or macroeconomic logic to this. Just vibes.

"Track AIPAC" is finally getting attention for being an Germany-based, antisemitic op that consistently applies different standards to Jewish and non-Jewish candidates.

If you still think the Republican trans rights battleground is sports/kids/bathrooms/pronouns, adjust your priors accordingly.

If you don't see the problem with forcing this man to carry an F for female on his driver's license then I don't know what to tell you

"It's much easier to get something published in JAMA or the New England Journal of Medicine if it's supportive of gender-affirming care...that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence from the public." Gee, I wonder why? Should they publish anti-vax articles while they're at it to build "credibility?"

Changing your platform to no longer say Hamas shouldn't lead Gaza, and add one that USAID was "imperially-focused," all to please The Intercept, and the day before the election, is the move of a weak candidate with no principles other than the approval of their kookiest tankie followers.

It started with gamblers harassing athletes for messing up their bets. It was never going to end there. Grateful to the author for telling this story publicly. I suspect we'll see more of this.

The’s right’s support for Jewish safety was always conditional upon signing up for their ideological project.

If you think the far-right Israeli government is sitting around worried about what American Jews think about them you’re a ridiculous person. They don’t give a fuck about us or our opinions and they don’t even give a fuck about our money because they have MASSIVE $$$ coming from Christian Zionists

I'm shocked the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize would say such a thing!

I’m old enough to remember the Obama scandal where Fox News (incorrectly) accused them of paying too much for muffins.

"... have put together ..." If they're just pulling together shit as an excuse to invade foreign countries, the journalism needs to make that clear — not this cutesy "turns up the heat" bullshit.

Writers for The Atlantic when writing for the magazine: "I am a gay man who simply has reasonable concerns about ideological rigidity in pediatric gender medicine." The same writers for The Atlantic on X and everywhere else: "Sarah McBride is a man suffering from a paraphilia."

Jack, just say Special Military Operation. This is taking forever.

Absolutely incredible.

I will never let this one go

Me when I learn the Nintendo TOS prohibits getting a little too vulgar on voice chat when playing Mario Party online: The Leftwing nut jobs at Nintendo have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM me, and force me to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution!

Kier Starmer is a cautionary tale about what happens when you toss all your principles and beliefs in favor of trying to make the Daily Mail happy (also unsuccessfully).

Many news outlets are reporting that some trans Kansans received letters warning that their licenses were being invalidated overnight. This morning, Evan Urquhart spoke with a trans woman who found out on Bluesky that it would be illegal to drive her car. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Imagine that overnight your ability to drive was taken away, and it would take who knows how long to get it back. How much would that fuck with your ability to do basic things like earn money, not get fired from your job, feed yourself, get medical care, see family.

Of course isn’t just driving. It’s voting. Working. Travelling. Picking up a package. Applying for credit. Applying for a job. Renting a room. Filling prescriptions. Visiting loved ones in the hospital. Not expired either, but legally invalid.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

No grace period. So I guess every trans person in all of Kansas has to call in sick tomorrow? It was never about sports or pronouns.

In a historic year for women at the Olympics, Trump specifically awarded male athletes with the presidential medal of freedom at the SOTU. They never cared about women’s sports. They never cared about women, period.

This is the Alysa Liu performance everyone is talking about, and yes, you should watch it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCrF...

This really is a great picture:

Florida mandating teaching that men and women inherently behave differently and the reason is chromosomes: “For example, biological sex chromosomes determine not only the sexual and reproductive organs an individual is born with, but also how females and males behave.” 🫠🫠🫠

“From the frosty peaks of Fairfield Connecticut…” this NBC announcer has no idea what Fairfield, Connecticut is actually like.

Congrats to my alma mater LSE on being the only woke university outside America.

Netanyahu is evil; he's not in the epstein files. saying he is in the epstein files to claim a Jewish conspiracy is antisemitic. it is also imo wildly misogynist and cruel to treat the epstein files as an all purpose gotcha in this way. there are actual victims and survivors here. it's not a game.

There’s a certain dark humor in seeing the UK completely twist itself into nonsensical knots over Labour’s refusal to have beliefs of any kind and just letting chaos reign.

Visitors to Universal will soon enjoy low-capacity tunnels that flood with water and become inoperable after every storm.

Shout out to the trans girlies who took this geocities test in the 2000s and were told we aren’t actually trans because we’re too good at math.

This is literally what Elon Musk did to USAID employees in conflict zones. Billionaires, why?

Contrast this with the WSJ ed board, which semi-trollingly framed it as vindication for John Roberts for taking the federal courts out of gerrymandering. Pros versus amateurs.

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

How the media will write this up: “The emails show Epstein kept a close circle of intellectuals and had stimulating conversations about their work.” Reality: “Trans men are unhappy and lonely because they are unattractive and no one wants to have sex with them. I know this because I don’t want to.”

Don’t ever let people forget this.

Under this bill any man can sue cis women for using the men’s room at a concert for $1,000 a pop. Or god forbid a father needs a baby changing table that’s way too often only in the women’s room.

gotta say it's pretty rich for these douchebags to make such a big stink about "low quality evidence" for gender-affirming care to then turn around and be like "hey, your kid should try some of these pills we just found out about. our friend says he has a really good feeling about em"

Once you start noticing it you can't stop: when the real Trump falters and is incapable of defending his administration (more and more frequent) the actual Trump is "subbed out" of news coverage for an invented, imaginary, often explicitly hypothetical version of Trump who is reasonable and cogent

In the Republican mind conversion therapy is constitutionally protected free speech but medically sound LGBTQ+ therapy isn’t.

So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this. We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...

I went shopping last week and the other girls in the fitting room asked me for my input on sizing and what dresses look best. “Can a man become a woman” is a bad-faith troll question because no matter what you think philosophically, the reality is that I am one in the real world with real people.
