Barda by Ngozi Ukaza is such a great retelling of Kirby’s Fourth World through the eyes of Barda and has incredibly impactful things to say about love and freedom

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17 One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states www.patreon.com/posts/149210...

Sadly, this isn’t even without precedent. Scarlett Johansson sued OpenAI in 2024, alleging that ChatGPT’s virtual assistant Sky was modeled on her voice.

Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

this guy is a straight up rape apologist so of course he, like the rapists themselves, see trans people as disposable. he's a monster.

The RFK number seems like a massive failure of the media to explain what RFK is doing to our public health system and how catastrophic it will be

Okay then

Vaguely recall how Biden admin emails to Twitter were the biggest attack on free speech ever. There was a whole twitter files thing about that. Curious where are Elon, Taibbi, Bari and crew on this?

turns out the discord situation is worse! the company that will be doing the age verifications with IDs is Persona, a peter thiel aligned company we're going to try to wind down the Kill The Computer discord and try to get a subreddit for the podcasts community up and running

If you're posting demanding that people vote for Gavin Newsom for president in 2028, and your calendar says it's 2026, you should find something to do with your time that isn't that.

And this didn't start on January 20, 2025.

This is the pet project of one rich AF Jewish nepo baby white lady who lives on the upper east side and claims to speak for all Jews and throws her money around to control the messaging and it is a fucking nightmare

There had to be a better way to state that this CPB used his position to coerce his married, *biological* neice into a relationship.

the hell bluesky puts palestinians through has finally broken containment and they still won’t change. NOTE: it’s primarily geoblocking, but they nuked emad’s accounts and he was posting from london to get support for his family in gaza. mohamed’s IP address hasn’t been in MENA for months. AND YET

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

For a long time one of the arguments against universal healthcare in the US was that there would be no incentive to develop new drugs and new treatments without the profits made possible by the market.

the scuttlebutt about noem and lewandowski’s relationship is fun, but don’t miss that they used OBBA money to lease/buy an expensive private plane that said was for deportations but are instead using to jet around the country www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I love my dysfunctional ass city

WHO CARES ABOUT BEN SOLO? THE REAL BEN IS BACK!!!

Commissioner Jessica Tisch making a public spectacle of Hannibal Lectering Luigi Mangione while letting her Epstein-network relative walk free to prey on young girls really sums up the state of things

Finished tonight. What a gem. Seriously go watch it if you haven’t already.

This is fucking awful, and awful that Bluesky are getting away with this

Yeah how about you fix the fucking thing. Eviction Moratorium immediately, help for businesses immediately.

this is incredibly frustrating. By framing this as a policy demand Dems are aiding a disinformation campaign that is intended to confuse the public about what is constitutionally required.

Remember if you watch this show or buy this merch, no trans person will like or trust you ever again. Sorry but those are the rules.

Our product can show you what's outside the window that's right next to you, perform a Google search slower than you can yourself, and misinform your surgeon mid-procedure, causing a catastrophic failure that will injure you for life. The entire economy is propped up on it

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

When you get to hell, tell them Mr Friendship sent you nasty ass mother fucker GOOD NIGHT

It’s time to post this. Confirmed. Sam Darnold is a Super Bowl Champion. ilovecitr.us/darnold/

They should have let that stand

It is pretty satisfying that everyone was right about the Pats having a cakewalk all year and getting thrown in the woodchipper the second they played a complete team

I need journalists to ask Hollywood actors why they’re in pro-AI commercials.

Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.

The world did everything it could to keep “Sam Darnold Super Bowl Touchdown Pass” from happening but he would not be restrained.

Gronk and Brady should enter the Hall of Fame as Bucs

Bless

so far tonight bad bunny has sung more reggaeton songs than the patriots and seahawks combined

Pepsi doing an ad with polar bears after Coke’s calamity with that AI Christmas ad, pretty good

I just backed SINK YOUR TEETH IN #1 - Mature Sapphic Noir Chicago Vampires on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea...

There seems to be a not insignificant number of people in the Epstein Files who hold prominent positions at colleges. Yet, there’s no uproar over what these elites are teaching students. Or how many of them overlook sexual assault on their own campuses.

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

i mean, he’s not wrong in the sense that our economics and culture have allowed for large swaths of the population to become relatively comfortable but the problem is that wasn’t good enough for capitalism. so they keep taking and they make things worse and people DO engage when it gets fucked up
