1. The largest medical organization in the United States, the American Medical Association, has reaffirmed that gender affirming care for trans youth is medically necessary. It disavowed the New York Times reporting. Incredible development for trans youth. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I am officially 38, so here are some thirst traps bc I'm also very proud of my weight loss progress the past 11 weeks (down 20lbs). Also my Final Fantasy pixel tattoo is adorable, everyone should be jealous.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

picture, thousan words, etc etc

I joke about this stuff but 15 minutes before the Trump post hit the tape there was a surge in e-mini price and volume. Someone knew and traded.

We're adorable. CC @localswampgay.bsky.social

You do want to skip flying because 1) we know how incompetent ICE is 2) we know anti American sentiment is at historical high level because of drump 3) airfare price is at historical high because of drump No you don’t need to fly. Break the airlines so they know the cost of conservative politics

Y'all I'm just so tired of this timeline to the point where it's getting harder and harder to conceptualize a worse timeline (I still can, but damn).

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

i cannot fucking believe we're having kink discourse AGAIN because younger queers AGAIN think that throwing other queers under the bus AGAIN will do anything to prevent themselves from being put on the wall by fascists AGAIN. solidarity now! or you'll die! we'll all die! fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Q: You don’t regret that people might’ve lost important income to support their lives? A: No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit. Q: Ok. Did you reduce the federal deficit? A: No, we didn’t.

New polling from Pew shows what Americans think about data centers: Only 6% think they're good for the quality of life for those nearby. Similarly, only 6% think data center have a good impact on home energy costs. And only 4% think they're good for the environment.

This is what happens when I ask @localswampgay.bsky.social to show his mommy milkers.

As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it. You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result. Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.

Today is Friday the 13th, the perfect day to get a new tattoo (not me, I already got 2 new ones last week) CC: @localswampgay.bsky.social @breakabone.bsky.social @harim.bsky.social

Watch this clip. Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

1. Attacks on LGBTQ+ people have always been tied with the erosion of democracy. Now, a bill has just been passed in Florida that lets DeSantis remove elected officials for promoting pride/LGBTQ+ people in their official capacity. No court hearing necessary. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

One of the excluded systematic reviews is the York systematic reviews commissioned as part of the Cass Review itself. NHS England excluded from its evidence review a systematic review produced for the very process this evidence review is supposed to implement. It's a joke.

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care BECAUSE my position is immutable

Wouldn't it be great if thousands of us called their sales managers, letting them know that we will collectively never ever ever even think about buying a car from them? Ever. Fuck Collaborators. Anyway, Darcars is (301) 622-0300 & Ourisman is (301) 249-4227.

This shit ends the internet as we know it. Literally start stuffing this in everyone's face until it sticks.

Sounds fucking, great. Oh, you think it’s a bad thing… Fortune magazine.

Reminder that Microsoft is one of the biggest forces behind GenAI "adoption" on top of funding and wildly profiting from the continued genocide in Gaza, it seems like games media has forgotten this Cancel your Game Pass, don't play MW or Minecraft, cancel your WoW sub.

Remember what I was saying? $80 billion in debt with $30 billion in revenue (not profit) and a $15 billion market cap? They're dead. Even if they panic and try to spin off all of the properties they just bought, they'll never come close to profitable. This is why Netflix walked away.

I won't shop at Target again unless they become a worker-owned cooperative that gives out free whistles, anti-ICE zines, binders, contraception, and K95 masks.

BREAKING: SCOTUS shadow docket decision rules in favor of forced outing of trans students, reinstating a lower court ruling against California's law prohibiting forced outing. Also references forcing teachers to misgender trans students. Horrific precedent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Ship owners and their insurers seem to disagree.

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE it will result in dead trans people and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing you see the pipeline right? we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

The NYT style guide

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

Does anyone have a cool activity for Trig Identities? I kind of want it to be a game but I’m not used to gamifying things.

last day for these!

Biggest reason why I've become vocal about defending weird smut from censorship/debanking is bc the powers that be have become overt in treating anything w/ a hint of sexual nonconformity as "weird smut." You have to view regulations through the lens of "who does this bind and who does it protect?"

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.

1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that under a new deal with Scouting America, formerly Boy Scouts of America, trans scouts will be forcibly outed and segregated from peers of their gender. The policy is the latest cruel capitulation. www.erininthemorning.com/p/secdef-heg...

A major Pentagon–Anthropic showdown is underway. The Pentagon is pushing for Claude to enable mass AI surveillance + autonomous drones, threatening a supply-chain-risk label or a defense production act takeover if they don’t. Ultimatum was issued for tomorrow. Anthropic just refused.

Shit

The news out of Kansas is even worse than you'd think. It's not just driver's licenses but also birth certificates so even people who happened to just be born in the state are impacted as well. Unfathomably evil all for *at most* 1,800 people www.cjonline.com/story/news/p...

With each passing day I am newly infuriated that national media (and many politicians) bought the Trump regime's lies about a draw down in Minnesota
