100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride. Mainstream media: nothing Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes. Mainstream media: nothing. This is what extreme media bias looks like.

I have no idea how to dress for this

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

not the onion

"Something ineffable happens when you write down a thought: You think something you did not know you could or would think and it leads you to another though. The process of writing itself leads to previously unthought thoughts [and] crystallizes half-formulated or unformulated thoughts" - Lynn Hunt

Women’s soccer faces plenty of serious threats. So why the panic about trans players? www.theguardian.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Huge trans rights ruling from the EU's top court - if someone moves to another EU country and transitions, their home country can't refuse to amend their registration details to match their lived gender identity

If any news outlets are covering this and want to talk to a trans Genomics PhD who specialized in human genetics and the evolution of sex, please reach out to me This is complete nonsense scientifically. It's fascist eugenics, not biology Setting a horrifying precedent for genocide

WBAL in Baltimore helping viewers understand the difference between watches and warnings

The New York Times coverage of trans issues has repeatedly resulted in experts and others complaining that their words were twisted and misrepresented... but only those quoted from on trans supportive side have that complaint. Coincidence or eliminationism? @billiejsweeney.bsky.social dives in.

Gotta say that this is some extremely creepy language. And the argument basically is... that if the prevent people from treating gender dysphoria (adults, in this case), that they'll just... stop having it? That's not at all how any of this works.

Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies it’s “the right of the people,” not of citizens. We cannot allow someone who doesn’t understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.

Don't worry, the President's worst impulses on war are being checked by his advisors who are afraid to tell him that the shoes he gave them are the wrong size

“He does what?” “He likes to guess their shoe size and orders it for them.” “And they don’t fit?” “No, he’s comically wrong. Like, every time.” “And they wear them anyway?” “Yeah. See, that’s how you know how sycophantic they are. It’s symbolism.” (beat) “Eh. We can’t do that. It’s too on the nose.”

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit. An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans. It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

None. Not even one.

how is "mayor chooses his words carefully" a NYT story but "president chooses his words like a haunted magic 8 ball on meth" not

My new Purity Litmus Test for any Democrat in politics is to at least talk like uhh this cato institute gentleman

I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.

The DOJ is suggesting that gender-affirming care providers may be engaging in "conspiracy" because they're prescribing medications off-label. That poses danger for an important backstop in the event old restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone are restored:

Is the premise of this story that the mayor should make lighthearted video content about an ongoing criminal investigation www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Truly a perfect news alert

if it wasn't a world-destroying atrocity it would be kind of funny how much time and money and energy is being put into convincing everyone to love AI and still the general consensus is like "meh"

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

I keep seeing journo-types say the best use case for AI is to sift through huge Epstein-drop-style data dumps but I haven't seen any of them talk about the fact that the Venn diagram of AI-pushers and the types of fuckos who are IN Epstein-style data dumps is a circle

Trump's FTC Chair posts that people opposing age-verification surveillance are just shills being "being paid by people who want to prey on your kids." The lengths this administration goes to delegitimize dissent is staggering.

we are weeks away from 'Trump attempts to make horse a Senator' and the only thing stopping him is that he is too much of a sociopath to form an attachment to animals

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch www.theverge.com/podcast/8914...

It's 2004. The US is mired in a pointless war in the Middle East. There's a new Nintendo handheld. Taking Back Sunday is headlining the Warped Tour. It's 2026. The US is mired in a pointless war in the Middle East. There's a new Nintendo handheld. Taking Back Sunday is headlining the Warped Tour.

"I think the LLM is conscious" makes a lot more sense when you realize a lot of people don't grasp the interiority of other people. If you view other people as a series of inputs and utilities, it makes a lot of sense that you would see inert code awaiting your prompt as conscious.

congrats to alyssa thompson on her doctorate degree from the christen press school of shooting

omg, nailed

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

if an abyss ever gazed back at me i'd just be like hey girl wyd

damn, if the Childcrusher 5000 GTX pickup truck owners can’t afford gas, how are they going to be able to tote their massive loads of a single loaf of bread and a canned Starbucks latte

the etymology of our word "travesty" comes from the late Italian medieval "travesti" which was used to label "men" who dressed like women. They've been coming for us for centuries. It didn't start recently, it didn't start with the Nazis. It's been centuries.

condi heard american bombs exploding in the middle east and floated to the white house the way a cartoon character is summoned by pie on a windowsill

THREAD: We just released a tool that allows you to search billions of dollars in wealth, ties to the most powerful companies in the country, and details of the personal finances of President Trump and over 1,500 of his appointees. Here’s how it works 1/

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

371 security/ privacy academics, including a Turing Award winner, just issued a letter saying age verification laws are building global surveillance infrastructure. Every search, message, and article read would require ID verification. Democrats are working w/ Republicans to push these laws through

That clip of Timothee Chalamet being like “no one watches the opera or ballet” is wild and I am dying over every ballet and opera acct (correctly) being like “we’ve been here for hundreds of years before you and we’ll be here for hundreds of years after you” lmao

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

Literally every modern political problem

We’re obviously going to see the same unhinged racist bullshit come out of a different person but at least one of them is having a bad day.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson? WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.
