There are an infinity number of actual historians Obama could’ve done this with instead

my friends who got married showed up at the dyke march in their wedding dresses and everyone cheered it was so SWEET

Maybe there’s nothing I can do to stop donald trump and his cult of racist child molestors, but if I can just bully this internet cartoonist into not writing something that makes me uncomfortable, I can still leave a positive mark on the world

All these guys sound exactly like those accountants who were stoked about using slurs at work when Trump got elected again

“I’ve been incredibly accountable” - guy who hasn’t appeared to have ever suffered any actual consequences for his dirtbag behavior, and is transparently angry that you are even asking him about it in the first place

Hey do you have games on your phone

you can just not watch whatever video game thing is making you angry. they don't own you

Anthony Stewart Head will always be a real one for this. RIP www.thepinknews.com/2019/12/20/a...

had never seen this one and it's killing me

It’s so hard to find rental houses without any stairs

started on the new season of for all mankind and I swear, if lee jung-gil doesn't make it through this,

once again wishing that programming was still fun

i'm a broken record but watching this backslide has been disheartening, but also incredibly embarrassing; the right's propaganda push folds under the lightest of scrutiny, and yet we're here

Huge if true

A natural at posting

Maybe I should watch dandadan

Going to think about this every time people try and act like WotC is somehow a "progressive" company or that D&D has become a great "queer game" somehow

Hasbro is truly evil. solidarity to all the Wizards Of The Coast workers dealing with this transphobic nonsense.

That can’t possibly be comfortable

The posts on r/githubcopilot as people realize what they're going to get for their money going forward are an absolute treat

"That's Metal Gear, baby" -- a true sentence I just said aloud with no small degree of sass

Anti-porn, anti-sex worker, and anti-sex censorship directly corresponds to a tilt downward into a more ideologically conservative and oppressive society. Regardless of your personal comfort with nsfw content on the internet, it's absolutely critical to support it right now.

oh come on. lots of guys like to exchange text messages of a sexual nature with over a dozen women not their wife. i know i do!!

Watching The Empire Strikes Back and it's such a stark difference in how good these movies could look with everything being done in camera, compared to how bland and empty space opera looks now

piss off, @theintercept.com, it's absolutely a paywall. the price is just "we spam you and sell your email address" instead of cash

I assume that 'howdy' here is the name of some niche streaming service that has partnered with amazon, but it's extremely funny to imagine that it's just the monster greeting her as it draws near

Stupid to take vacation days and spend them in a brain hole fantasizing about death

maybe don't try to be sassy two months after you fired 1000 people

Most that will come of this is someone tries a legislative carve out for military personnel, that’s too hard to actually implement, nothing changes
