Quebecois Rizzler is here to say that he's down to start rapping in a francophone way

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.

1. Numerous transgender people in Kansas are reporting that the state has sent them a letter demanding the immediate surrender of drivers licenses. Those driving could be arrested, charged, and see privileges revoked. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

Sometimes I think I'm a real piece of shit and not even in a self-loathing sense, just as a matter of fact But when you read about Epstein its like whoa nevermind, I'm an extremely minor jerk. Not only am I a saint by comparison, I wouldn't be tempted to act like this even if I had their money

CFO of child dismemberment at Lockheed Martin: I’m going to start setting boundaries at work.

Oh hell yeah

I love having heightened pattern recognition skills as an audhd person, 90% of the time it makes life a fun puzzle But god it sucks that the other 10%=living as Cassandra from the Odyssey re: politics, just repeatedly stating "This is whats gonna happen", being ignored & then WATCHING IT HAPPEN

It's NUTS that the 2028 discourse from dems is "Newsom's our best bet at beating Trump" Yes all signs point to Trump trying for a 3rd term, the GOP is making no effort to build up a new candidate, but why are dems 1. Already accepting an illegal scenario 2. Assuming there's an election involved

Just heard that Epstein described Prince Andrew as "the only man more perverted than me", which...if that's not the sign to have a guy tied to some horses and dragged down a gravel road at full speed on live tv, I don't know what is

YOU HAVE SO MANY PROTEINS TO CHOOSE FROM

Why the fuck would Spotify boast about it's best developers not writing a single line of code since December thanks to AI when *everyone* is commenting on how awful it's becoming You see this wet turd? It didn't require any skill, it just fell out of my ass like that 😏

Caligula has talked an awful lot about existing since the morning of the world until the last star falls from the night, but when it comes to the rising price of fruits and vegetables, his silence speaks volumes.

One of the wilder "Epstein's behind every awful thing in the last 40yrs" examples is him and Les Wexner shaping the late 90s/early aughts beauty standards for teen girls that pushed sexualized girlishness & waifish body types So like every teen girl I knew in 2003 having an ED is bc of these guys

I love that gen z discovered that band Pachinko and other early aughts indie lo-fi trip hop shoegaze, I DO love that for them The only issue is that I listened to Sneaker Pimps, Portishead, etc at my saddest alt-teen state & hearing that shit is like a Pavlovs Dog trigger for depression now

“The democrats need to be more culturally normal” fucking you first, Gavin

um some people work for the new york times as a coping mechanism?? you didnt think about that did you

Oh no. Oh no I love this youtu.be/5515PpSyLFc?...

I can't believe my quality of life is determined by a bunch of libertarians who read some Warhammer books in their teens and thought "Make the Adeptus Mechanicus real but also somehow even worse"

i shouldn’t go to 26 states & a few of them threaten me with jail time if i use the bathroom there & there’s the one where they may or may not have bounties? all of that is culturally normal, but me asking to be properly referred to as “she” would be freak shit—politically damaging to the US.

You know when people do anime voice+mannerisms as a bit? I just saw a guy argue "Go ahead, call this cringe, but it's only because it's unnatural for *Americans* to speak like this. Remember, anime mannerisms are based on how *Japanese* people act" Never let this guy go to Japan

I think I'm gonna make up a fake child for my next job and use it to get out of shit. Once bosses find out you don't have kids, your free time is treated as less valuable than your parent coworkers. So yeah this is my large son Cormac, I need to leave early to take him to his laser tag lessons

I don't know who Gaby de Valle is, I can't speak on her journalistic integrity or politics All I know is: if you use a site packed to the brim with nazis and see a random user blame a Rothschild's mid SAT score on "bad genetics", you're an idiot if you can't infer what their deal is

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it. The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it

I believe in you, little guy

I listened to an interview with Alysa Liu yesterday and I can see that the interviewers are unsettled by her and do not know what to do with her responses. She challenges so much of what USians are taught about competition and frankly about how to live a life.

Transphobes love bringing up autism. Like yeah I have noticed it's a common pairing, but this could be bc I'm Chronically Online & autistic trans people are more likely to socialize online It's just clear THEY always bring it up to argue autistic people are too impaired to know their own gender ID

I read this right before going to bed last night then couldn’t sleep because I was staring at the ceiling thinking “Fozzie Bear is a Lebanese Christian and gets mistaken for Jewish like Ralph Nader or Tony Shaloub”

How many licks [mild observations about prejudice in Europe] does it take to get to the center of a European [the deeply entrenched unexamined cultural prejudice that they're angrily insisting isn't there] About 2-3 posts, usually

[Nazi makes multiple blood and soil arguments to resuscitate conspiracies about "Jewish imposters," challenges Jews to take DNA test] ["Leftists"]: Wow!! You gotta hand it to this guy! I might not agree with everything the Nazi says, but here he Speaks the Truth!

George Wallace in 1962: "I started off talking about schools and highways and prisons and taxes and I couldn't make them listen. Then I began talking about n**rs and they stomped the floor." Donald Trump in 2023⬇️

It's crazy how Andre 3000 had Terminally Divorced Guy energy in the late 90s/early 2000's despite never actually marrying Erykah Badu, I swear every other song is like "love is a lie and alimony is fucked up"

i often think about this review

The Scott McElree and other grown men getting into a fist fight with teen girls protesting ICE reminds me so much of how insane adults got about anti-war shit in the aughts, like 6'2 dads screaming threats in your face for holding Fuck Bush signs. They're incapable of having a normal one.

"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

Just found out Macaques have an insanely hierarchical bullying based society and you basically HAVE to get bullied or become extremely good at bullying to find your place, like even if his mom was alive Punch's life would probably still suck shit to some degree

How China is reporting on the Epstein Files.

People are being disappeared from Massachusetts jails

Can't you picture Elon arguing with his lawyers to pick those people so he can go on the stand and win them over with some "needs more cowbell" ass references

europe loves an environmentalist feminist political group called Génération Filles backed by Situationalist auteur Jacques-Henri Molesteur and animal rights activist Edith Petain and then it turns out they are Nazis

Won't SOMEONE think about the GEO GROUP

Look, now that we're trying for real consequences for the Epstein files, maybe we should also take another look at the Panama Papers

This is so wild. A Senior Editor at LARB referred to a California volunteer IDF genocidaire as a “survivor.” You can’t make this up.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

There is a third type, of course: people who say "AI will probably never get so smart that it meaningfully, or even efficiently, replaces human labour, but tens of millions of people will still lose their jobs because there is currently a $10bn hype machine telling every CEO on earth that it will".

Man, feels bad looking back at those times my teen self saw my older jewish relatives as unreasonably paranoid trauma victims for going "never trust your neighbors, the second you relax is when they get you!!"

every day this becomes more prescient
