I don’t choose that word lightly. The idea that an entire field of medicine, as well as numerous academic journals, systematically suppressed evidence that gender-affirming care doesn’t work is a conspiracy theory. Meanwhile, none of these people can provide a shred of evidence for their core claim

Yglesias rewriting his same “Dems must moderate” take for the 5,000th time and Peters credulously advancing a right-wing, anti-left story/framing for the 1,000th time is almost boring. The real damage is that they launder their BS through the NYT, which gives it mainstream legitimacy.

no medication in the entire history of the UK has been made illegal in this manner - either on the NHS/private care/both - so that a trial can be run. not once. it has not ever happened. this is a unique torture invented specifically for trans youth at the behest of a buncha lousy bigots.

She posted about it 3 days ago apparently but that post didn't go viral.

I dunno, folks. It’s not my district, but I’d be a lot more bothered by the candidate who’s shown a propensity for misusing power over the candidate who’s shown a willingness to listen to criticism and change their positions, even if you think (rightly) that the critic is a fuckwad.

They’re lying about that of course, just like they’re lying about everything. If a CEO tells you he read a book, what he means is he heard someone reference it on Joe Rogan in between screeds about ancient aliens and vaccines causing autism

It's infuriating how many dudes gain any amount of power and decide to be absolute dickwads.

I just watched THE LOWDOWN and Ryan Kiera Armstrong would have been great as the new Slayer. Key quote: "We had an executive on our show who was not only not a fan of the original, but was proud to constantly remind us that he had never seen the entirety of the series and how it wasn't for him."

Jeremy Peters can barely hold his contempt for trans people here. It's been apparent for years. He condemned his union for speaking out on the NYT's bias on reporting of trans issues.

When I was in kindergarten or first grade in Fort Wayne, Indiana, we went to visit the Seyfert's Potato Chip factory, which apparently finally closed in 2018.

Weird how every journalist writing ‘balanced’ feature stories on this issue turns out to be a deranged conspiracist and ideologue the second you hear them speak off the cuff

Genesis - Invisible Touch

the nvidia DLSS shit is so funny. "hey wouldn't it be cool if every video game character looked like an AI generated porn popup ad"

What if we abandoned Matt Yglesias to win elections has anyone ever thought of that

I fucking hate searching for shit on my phone now because every 5 seconds is “wouldn’t you rather use CHROME? You’re still using SAFARI?! Are you dumb? Enfeebled? SWITCH TO CHROME PEON! ᴼʳ ᶜˡᶦᶜᵏ ᵗʰᶦˢ ᵐᵘᶜʰ ˢᵐᵃˡˡᵉʳ ᵒᵖᵗᶦᵒⁿ ᵗᵒ ˢᵉᵉ ʷʰᵃᵗ ʸᵒᵘ’ʳᵉ ˡᵒᵒᵏᶦⁿᵍ ᶠᵒʳ ᶦⁿ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᶜᵘʳʳᵉⁿᵗ ᵇʳᵒʷˢᵉʳ, ʸᵒᵘ ᶠᵘᶜᵏᶦⁿᵍ ᶜᵒᶜᵏᵇᵃᵍ”

jail the kalshi and polymarket owners today, make an example of them and in 3 months this problem doesn't exist, either do it or shut up about it

[trying to keep things straight in my head] OBAA - One Battle After Another OBBA - One Big Beautiful Bill Act OBAMA - 44th president of the United States

The NYT reported how Dr. Oz held a meeting with Medical orgs and a anti-trans hate group to coerce those groups into backing off their support of trans youth. Jeremy Peters and the NYT framed this shakedown as a reasonable meeting about medical evidence standards. The NYT's bias is clear again.

HISTORICAL FACT: People used to use "y" as th - "ye olde pube" etc - because Y is close to T on the keyboard and they weren't as good at typing back then

"Sexy suicide coach" is the hot Halloween costume of 2026.

When Mike Lee says this, we rightly hear him admitting to what they’ve doing. But when most Republicans read this, they hear Mike Lee calling for fair elections in which Democrats can’t win by cheating, like they did in 2020. Mike Lee knows he’s lying, but he also knows his audience will believe him

okay i have a solution to the strait of hormuz if you'll just follow along

This is the exact same argument that Bernie made against AOC, Tlaib, Omar and Bowman calling Israel an apartheid state in May 2021, but neither Bernie nor Shapiro seem to be disputing the actual racial structure in Israel's rule over Palestinians. They just think it's bad to say it out loud.

Hi. Please crosspost this. Unequivocally fuck crypto, my instagram has been hacked

OK, this Tucker Carlson impression on Saturday Night Live last night is uncanny! Has all the verbal tics and go-to phrases down, and nails the high-pitch cackle.

The Turtles THRIVE on this method.

Literally had someone try and argue with me that: She’s not deliberately antisemitic Then: ok it’s justified but it’s not Nazi rhetoric To: ok but you’re demanding her be the perfect victim and not do Holocaust denial like we’re really just constantly moving goal posts

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

The Firefly bullshit dropping the day after the Buffy reboot gets dropped sure is something.

It's fucking absurd though that dems need to be yelled at not to self destruct. Our fucking democracy is an escort mission

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

@josie.zone …worked on this story for years…and…he just…he tweeted it out.

*pounds table* IDES IDES IDES

remains wild to me that the GOP is the party that's actually treating their opponents like they're an immediate and dire threat that must be eliminated at all costs meanwhile the Dems are like "hmm not sure I totally agree with all of this but let's hear these guys out, just in case"

Sexual assault is a normalised part of male homosociality, and sexually charged violence against the least masculine or lowest status people in all-male groups and spaces is part of how men teach each other to uphold rape culture.

they don't mention it in the ToS but in my experience "criticizing @aaron.bsky.team while trans" is a 30 day suspension

See also fellow writers who use slop art for covers and promo. Even if I believed you didn't also put slop on the page (I'll never believe that you didn't) it's an autoblock for me.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

we justifiably crap on the press a lot around here but it is kind of stunning how quickly they have moved to “this was a poorly planned clusterfuck” it’s obviously a poorly planned clusterfuck but given how much the media loves war it’s pretty notable that they’re largely acknowledging reality

Don't worry, the Harper's letter people are *all over* this.

A lot of people are mad about this and calling it 'self interested' and I dunno man if the point of activism isn't to get people to change their minds what are we doing here?

Oh, that's why my metrics have taken a dive recently - Twitch pushed a new update that doesn't count someone as a viewer if they don't have the Twitch tab in focus RIP everyone who watches streams in the background, Twitch has no idea how people actually use their platform

When you're making less than $500 a week, $150, even just $50, is prohibitively expensive. At that rate of pay, an average apartment right now is more than 50% of your wages. You still need utilities, food, transport. And then you have massive deductibles and copays. COVERAGE is not HEALTHCARE.

Fun fact for comic fans: “McCarthy was right and didn’t go far enough” was the first political opinion I saw Ethan Van Sciver make, circa 2009 or so.

I agree with Elon... liberals should absolutely reflect more on how they were manipulated into enabling the rise of a world historical monster

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

Exactly. If the videos of the DOGE creeps have to come down because of death threats, Musk’s and Trump’s social media accounts need to be shuttered.

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit.
