The inciting incident for DS9's Bar Association is Rom's excessive masturbation. This is textual canonical reality, explicitly stated in episode. And I thank DS9 for that.

About to get high as fuck and eat the Skyline Chili pizza

Someone make out with me at the @spanishlovesongs.bsky.social show in Columbus tonight

@limeybuilds.bsky.social forgot to post these here. Some of your boy's adventures 😂

Newsom: we’ve lost young men! Better have Charlie Kirk on my podcast and throw trans people under the bus Mamdani: attends trans rights protest while polling at 0%, promises to make city affordable, polls at 85% with young men Buttigieg: so, people worried about trans women in sports have a point

@limeybuilds.bsky.social made this INCREDIBLE model and I've been working on him on and off for like two years. And we're finally near

I keep catching strays from "technology is neutral" people, so let's set things straight. 1) Technology is not neutral, especially the subset of technology called "algorithms" 2) The form-factor that makes a technology into a tool is not neutral 3) How tools are productized is not neutral [rant]

This is a good thread about modern capitalism and markets, but for me this is the key, right here. when corporations moved from mechanisms to mitigate risk to buffers to avoid responsibility. 1/x

why is the transition from a gendered presentation to some idea of androgyne not seen as a _transition_ in the same rights as one between binary sexes?

publishing hacked info from kids' college applications without noting the hacker is a racial-slur-handled nazi on a criminal vendetta against non-white people -- a thing you should probably know since your reporter follows them on social media -- is bad, actually www.theverge.com/cyber-securi...

For the rest of my life, the thing I most associate with this holiday will be a discussion in my neighborhood Fb group and one particular comment. There was some discourse about fireworks and someone had the temerity to suggest we maybe not make the neighborhood sound like a fucking war zone...

One of the problems with doing politics as team sport is that when you hear about Obama and Biden era horror stories about their treatment of immigrants, you end up doing whataboutism about who's concentration camps are nicer and who did a smaller number of atrocities. Absolutely fucking wild

Would really like to know who maintains the power grid and wireless communications infrastructure in the Land of Ooo

Tick tock tick tock #voxontheclock Wondering if Vox is ready to get serious about a deal because @voxmediaunion.bsky.social is for sure ready to strike

@voxmediaunion.bsky.social is READY TO STRIKE

"This is not America," I say, having never paid attention to anything, ever

If you are arrested during a protest or action against ICE or CPD in Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. (This is an offer for criminal defense; I unfortunately don't do immigration law.)

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

Let's go 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

"Har har maga hates the new pope so I love him" I remember second grade too

While you were distracted by news of two nuclear powers going to war, a trans person injected hormones. Stay focused on what matters, sheeple.

A lot of things aren't simple. This is very simple and straightforwardly correct

the trans women in sports bans have been such an effective wedge against ppl who are ostensibly trans allies bc combatting those bans requires an actual understanding of how trans women's bodies work and that has never been a high priority in cis allyship

nightmare country. I’m compelled by conscience to add that prisoners in the us are already treated like this and worse, daily; there’s escalation here but it’s from an already intolerable state of carceral excess.

Saw a "if Kamala was president we'd all be at brunch" sign and a whole lot of these folks clearly still don't fucking get it do they? Christ

First contact day salmon 🖖🏻🫡

Mark my words and please understand: They erase your history so that they can erase your rights.

Yeah we really gotta let go of the notion that any significant number of them are going to have any sort of come to Jesus moment. They want to hurt us more than they want anything else. And if it comes to roost on them personally, they'll just blame us anyways.

folks are so horny to dunk on Elon they're unconcerned about taking two fucking seconds to not be a part of spreading a trans person's deadname further around the internet. Dunno how she personally feels about it but if you're casually spreading a trans person's deadname I don't trust you. Period.

Everything is political. Especially the thing you're the most convinced is not political

I earnestly and truly wish I was surprised by this. Arguably the most powerful and visible trans person in the country right now and she's publicly selling us out. Representation is a start, but this illustrates pretty clear it's not the fucking answer in itself

Surveilling someone whose actually disengaged from you and isn’t actively harming you isn’t funny It’s weird

Always willing to defer to my friends more versed in disability justice than I but aren't we well fucking overdue to stop using blindness and deafness as synonyms for willful ignorance?

If there's one thing that domestic violence research has taught me, it's that abusers set up no-win scenarios. They punish you whether you cooperate with them or whether you push back. The only way out is to strengthen ties with people outside of the relationship who can create new, better options.

Palestinians are not statistics. There will never be a way to account for the lives, aspirations, and dreams lost by those whose only wish was liberation and to live in peace and with dignity.

Great news for anyone who's been like "I'd even take Bush two over this guy" 🙃

Fuck yes

If you're talking about proposed legislation as if it's already law, you're doing harm. Absolutely spread the word when things are proposed, but if you're saying a bill is law when it's not you're inciting unnecessary panic and convincing people the fights already been lost. Do better.

If you supported a 10 year old American child with brain cancer, on her way to medical treatment, being deported because her parents are undocumented (but have no criminal records), then you’re a horrific person and I’m not sure how you sleep at night.

We've been watching liberals guarantee his self destruction for how long now? This is a fucking fantasy. Even if it eventually does happen, how much destruction was left in his wake?

This piece is very good

Some of my Columbia Law School colleagues and I offer our thoughts on legal issues with the Administration's March 13, 2025 letter to our University's president, and its threat to academic freedom. balkin.blogspot.com/2025/03/a-ti...

For the love of Christ some country please start accepting trans refugees from the US

Way too many people On Here are using the r slur and it's pissing me off. It doesn't make you edgy. It doesn't make you cool. It makes you a shitty person. Shit posting doesn't include slurs. If you use slurs, I will block you. Slurs hurt people.

Every single day
