a weird belief that is held across basically all sectors of American life is that boy dollars and boy votes are better than girl dollars and girl votes and so if you have a lot of the latter you need to be constantly trying to exchange them for the former

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

I know it's still considered impolitic to say it, but Hillary Clinton couldn't go nearly as hard as she could and should have with Trump on this shit for the simple reason that it would have meant talking about Bill.

they just rebranded it. look closely, they changed the copilot button to a sparkly pencil. don't fall for it. install linux

I just feel like if I were a prolific serial rapist I would not seek the national spotlight but I guess if the only reason you exist is to try and wield power over others you don’t worry about things like that

"but the republicans get to do as many sex crimes as they want and they never get in trouble!!!! can't we let a democrat do just a little bit of sex crimes?" thank you for asking! no ♥️

if you want to trans your gender, go ahead. God won’t stop you. Indeed he can’t. God sits helpless in his rickety recliner and looks at you with pleading eyes and you just walk right out that door and to the gender shop

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

there's this prevalent strain of misogyny exhibited by liberal and leftist men that's kind of like "women have all the jobs and are making all the art and culture and men aren't, but that's why culture sucks and undergoing enshittification now"

This is the natural result of liberals completely caving on the reality that asylum is both a moral imperative and not just legal but required under domestic and international law

Diablo in Primal Rage

must be traumatizing for trump's older kids to see him post a video of a guy murdering a woman the exact same way he murdered their mom, huh? you really have to feel for them

one of the many things that makes tumblr unusable is the fact that it's considered normal to respond to anonymous troll asks even though thinking for even one minute about the incentives at play makes it obvious that the only correct response to such asks is to delete them unanswered

from here on out kill six billion demons will just be 70 straight pages of white chain and six juggernaut star scissoring. that's why it's the best webcomic ever made

"learn" in this instance serves as shorthand for "uncritically accept the premise of a screenshot of a tweet from a white woman living in the west which purports to describe All Of Asia's attitude towards AI." which is odd since that's sorta the opposite of what we generally consider "learn" to mean

Every liberal saying "did wokeness cause fascism?" is just regurgitating "Weimar problems require Weimar solutions" in a palatable way.

BASEBALL YURI (1/5)

you wokelets better start reckoning with the fact that the undifferentiated eastern horde LOVES to watch 10 hour videos of jingling keys

I think this is really important, and I'm worried it's never going to filter into the mainstream: Finland is producing studies that their researchers claim cast doubt on gender affirming care for youth, but they hide the ways their idiosyncratic approach itself could be to blame.

straight ("gay") up ("down!") jorkin it and let's just say, by "it" we mean,... a family size box of Cheez-It© Brand Snack Crackers

I love ALIEN’s vision of the future. Yes, everyone is still working shit jobs for shit corporations for shit pay. But the good news is they’ve successfully made robots full of milk that are bitchy little fruits

i missed whatever this Mantasy thing is, but if it's not: - about preying mantis - with lavishly described feasts of other preying mantis - and epic battles between mantis and mantis then i'm not interested

one good thing about being middle aged is it's no longer weird how much i like matchbox twenty

"i could probably pilot a ship through the straight of hormuz" -next big thing 80% of men secretly believe about themselves

gonna start posting here too. tumblr really liked my open shirt integra hellsing fanart so now bluesky gets to enjoy it too #hellsing #integrahellsing

🚨 ON STRIKE 🚨 Unionized staff at ProPublica @propublicaguild.org walked off the job today. Stand with workers: DO NOT cross the picket line. That means no visiting ProPublica's website, social media or engaging with its content today.

this holds up

"The Pentagon is threatening to create an Antipope" is the funniest real sentence of this year I'm not sorry

seems bad

More photography that just got published. just unreal images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

I am responsible for the 2024 electoral outcome. And you'd better start pandering to me if you want 2028 to go your way.

Yeah this is literally the purpose of these products. I don't mean this in a "kids these days" kind of way. EdTech companies, and the feckless education bosses who team up with them, want education to be a credential-generating machine in which learners act like customers and teachers act like cops

"call to account!/к ответу!", vladimir mayakovsky, 1917 (trans. lika galkina, jasper goss, 2005). "ешь ананасы, рябчиков жуй, день твой последний приходит, буржуй. / eat that priceless fruit, chew those precious fowl, your day will come, bourgeois." --(postscript, translation mine.)

We didn't deserve this day.

As Schumer yet again shows that he couldn’t manage a little league team let alone a party, I want to remind people that he’s been goading Trump to go to war with Iran for over a year. He’s partially culpable for creating the pretense for the current conflict, hawkishly saber rattling over uranium.

The New York Times Got Played By A Telehealth Scam And Called It The Future Of AI Since the New York Times published its semi-viral big profile of Medvi last week — the "AI-powered" telehealth startup that it breathlessly described as a "$1.8 billion company" supposedly run by just two brothers —…

"waaaa look at me i'm a video game knower and i'm going to name some video games that are good or at least iconic in some way" wrong. jurassic park arcade game only. it has dinosaurs

his expression here is killing me. yeah dude i would also be making that face in your shoes. hell yeah brother

trans day of killing them all. trans day of vengeance. trans day of doing a Black Flame (2025) to all these fascist fucks. trans day of sherman's march on washington. trans day of passersby amazed by the unusually large amount of blood. trans day of butchery. trans day of using the entire animal

been said before but man it is crazy how bad slavery fucked this country up. nearly everything bad about Trump and MAGA is a direct lineal descendant of enslaver ideology and politics

In the 1950s this panel was controversial enough to drive it's publisher out of business

"troubled coder who died by suicide" is such infuriating phrasing, he was a 26 yo, sentenced to 35 years in prison for downloading academic articles!! they murdered him.

The only way to end the sexual abuse of children who are detained and incarcerated is to stop detaining and incarcerating children. There are no "reforms" that end sexual abuse inside.

idk if bluesky's problems are from AI (remember how every other site before AI was also a piece of shit that broke constantly?) but i am becoming increasingly sure that some of the demented insurance claim issues i'm seeing are from AI. rapid uptick in mistakes i'm not sure a human could make

"We also have cisgender men as unit helpers and activity advisers, and there’s never been any objection to any of these men being involved in Girlguiding events.” Transphobia is a men's rights movement in drag.
