hey @nytimes.com unfriendly reminder to go fuck yourselves

if i was a time traveler, i'd subtly push the catholic church away from their historically conservative stance, culminating in a series of reforms in the 1960s id get them to name after a meme from the 2010s (vatican...2!) followed by a set of left-leaning 21st century popes

the problem with a stable time loop joke is that either you find it funny or you dont, and there's nothing i can do to change the outcome

Or--this is going to sound crazy--you could read the cases you cite.

When clinics started putting out research that 97.5% of trans youth who socially transitioned maintained a stable gender identity for 5 years,the reaction was never going to be, "I guess this isn't a phase." It was always going to be to ban social transition.

the thing about bird girls- *sound of a veil being thrown over my cage* oh okay it’s night time now sleep well everyone

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

Oh hey, this sounds familiar encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

it’s one of those things that’s endlessly infurating: cis anti-trans bigots acting as if the presence of a penis on a woman is some kind of inherent threat, when it was my experience that having a penis as a woman is seen by random cis people as an excuse to objectify you, touch you, violate you.

working with cis people is great because sometimes they require you to dress far more modestly than your cis women coworkers—because even showing a bit of shoulder is inappropriate when you’re a tranny—and sometimes they remark that they can’t see your penis in that skirt so they try to grab it.

a "welcome to womanhood" thing a trans woman has to tell casually transphobic cis women who seem to not be aware is that the mere aspect of possessing a penis does not magically protect you from misogynistic violation if you are Not A Man and often sharpens it lmao

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

It's not an exaggeration to say that this is how Republicans used to talk & the types of dog whistles they used to employ before they found out it's perfectly acceptable to talk The Current Way So the shift hereis the logical progression when the only expectation of a party is to be The Lesser Evil

Vanderbilt appears to be discontinuing many major surgeries for transgender adults. It's uncertain exactly what procedures will be discontinued, and the loss of care will have major impacts on trans people in the region. The latest from our writer S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I am afraid “never learn a hockey player’s politics” is as ironclad a law as “never learn a baseball player’s politics”

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker. Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

liberal walking into the car dealership: i want the second shittiest car you have. i will buy it for literally any price

Their new poll came out today. It's up to 79% support including 66% (!) strongly support. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec...

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

pizzagate and qanon were not onto something, they were orchestrated by pedophiles to make accusing people of pedophilia make you look insane so that they could continue doing pedophile shit. fucking christ

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles. "The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

Six years ago, I wrote about how the media has been falling for Trump's "new tone" nonsense for five years at that point. So we're now... 11 years into the media falling for Trump's "new tone." www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

saw someone call schumer cowardly and chide him for lacking the backbone to call for ICE to be abolished, & it must once again be pointed out that that is untrue. he is not trying to oppose the republicans and failing, he is on the same team as the republicans, and his enemy is you

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming. no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

Clay Travis is a moron

YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents** substack.com/@gelliottmor...

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

i'm trying to describe how this caption makes me feel and failing. like imagine if you saw the caption "thousands of cars ended up stuck in traffic due to head-on collision resulting in 9 deaths". the actual human lives aren't as important as making sure the commerce wheels stay greasy i guess

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'

This really gets to the core of what makes Vance such a detestable figure

Gavin Newsom thinks he’s Mario to Trump’s Wario, but he’s actually Waluigi

Scientific research of gender transition has been stuck on "should these people be allowed to transition" for 50 years, so we don't know shit about how transitioning actually works.

The United States needs to realize that the world does not need them. They are not necessary to the survival or the prosperity of the free world. We will move on without you.

This dude is intense and correct

I have a question.

Thank you @ballsandstrikes.org for covering @transequality.bsky.social’s amicus brief on behalf of legal scholars and historians on the history of anti trans discrimination in the law

"i serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward" is the kind of phrase that would be slightly cringe online and is incredibly badass when being stated by a man surrounded by armed men threatening to murder him

Scott Adams dying at 68 rather than 69 is the perfect capstone to a life of being almost — but not quite — funny
