For anyone who doesn't know why: you should call it child sex abuse material (CSAM) because pornography is legal and neutral as a category, in the same way you shouldn't say an adult "had sex with" a child, but committed rape

Point taken, sorry. I hadn’t heard that but it makes sense. Thank you.

funny how the cutting edge of the far right is just regurgitated slaveholder agitprop from 1850.

The expanded class action suit accuses X “of shielding child predators by obstructing police investigations into Grok-generated child sex abuse materials (CSAM).” CW for descriptions of child harm and sexual assault.

headline game is strong at the reg.

I could not be less surprised that Ryan Grim is pushing this. Let it go, man. Your guy is a rapist. He’s not going to win. And this shit is a disgrace to any good work Drop Site has ever done.

me too, i suppose

"…as of July 2025, the CDC made tracking cyclospora optional, as part of scaling back its Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network. At the time, food safety experts worried that it could make it harder to identify and respond to outbreaks."

Lemme explain what the words BELIEVE WOMEN should mean. They don't mean you have to believe women no matter what. They do mean that you have to treat women as a source the same way you'd treat a man.

this is like the literal opposite of true. the most fruitful eras of the modern democratic party coincided with periods where the walls separating political radicals from the mainstream were way less solid

legally required to share this meme

there are men on the left who will see right wing men as their allies above left wing women because in their eyes the former confirms masculinity and the latter conveys weakness

Dog owners in this city have gotten OUT of control. I know plenty of ppl are good dog owners here but YOU should be the maddest about all these anti social freaks! Please police them bc if you don’t have a dog and you say anything about it they act like you’re a serial killer

Denmark has… not been holding back lately

Much like how CNBC keeps interviewing the same 4 small business owners whenever there’s even the slightest rumble of raising the minimum wage Or the same 3 owners of cozy, small town cafes when there’s rumble of getting rid of tipped wage, instead of the conglomerate behind Darden restaurants

There are like 4 of these people and they all sound exactly the same and they've all received a soft-focus sympathetic story in the New York Times www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...

Unrelated but every time I see Count Binface I think “why are they calling him Binface that’s not a trash can it’s clearly a giant paper coffee cup”

iron rule of British politics is even if a guy who dresses as a bin becomes prime minister he will have been to Oxbridge

I was told this was Biden’s fault

I don't know, man, I think if Joe Biden had kept confusing Zelenskyy with Putin and Iran with Japan, the media might have made a pretty big deal about it?

"We must reinstill a warrior culture" i confidently assert, while cosplaying as Woody from Toy Story 5

not all garbage behavior is prosecutable, but that doesn’t mean we should excuse it; likewise, not all nazi-adjacent nonsense comes with a swastika, but let’s not attempt to reward it perhaps one day the lesson will stick, but I suspect that today is not that day

also i feel like if youre a man doubling down on platner or trying to defend your previous support of him after all this nonsense started coming out.... your psychosexual insecurities are showing

This is sometimes called “reproductive coercion”, “reproductive abuse”, or “stealthing”, and it’s sexual assault. www.women.com/1270289/yes-...

"Dem HR ladies" is such a misogynist turn of phrase, I'm still kind of speechless about it.

I don’t understand how people can run for office knowing they have insane baggage and/or crimes. Like I spent the entire campaign expecting AIPAC to somehow dig up my middle school livejournal fanfic account. I prepared my family for it. I’m still amazed it didn’t happen.

what a fucking asshole

I unfollowed him years ago after some pretty gross misogynoir-type comments he made, then doubled down on. Sucks because he's been my favorite author since middle school. I meant what I said with this comment, it's AT LEAST 99% of the famous men I grew up idolizing 🫣

Everyone is snuggling today.

I am very proud of this piece, mostly because of the number of SA survivors who have reached out about it. started it eight months ago and finished it in a 12-hr all nighter last night fueled by rage at comment sections 🫠 open.substack.com/pub/cohen489...

i have been trying to unpack why the i told you so’s here feel so legitimate despite the horrific seriousness of the allegations. i think bc it’s so enraging that he was allowed to make it this far. that poor woman was forced to traumatize herself in public because pundits are too fucking stupid

It was a fuck up with enormous, national consequences. Not only did the Democratic Party declare itself Nazi-agnostic, but it may *actually* end up losing us the Senate, the very thing supporters insisted any criticism of Platner would do. This is a major league fuck up, and was 100% avoidable.

the Pfizer building is apparently having trouble remaining erect

my friend found this in a little free library 😂

Tfw you’re having an extremely normal & appropriate reaction to current events

I don’t think people need to be “crucified” for thinking Platner changed or whatever but I do think they should engage in serious self-reflection and humility, such as not referring to themselves as being “crucified”

The core error is treating “white, male, and kind of an asshole” and “working class” as the same thing, or at least thinking it’s the key to working class appeal. Can be seen in over-determining the close 2024 election, fixating on the “manosphere,” romanticizing masculine-coded types of work, etc.

Headline tantamount to “officer-involved shooting”

can't stop laughing at this Poilievre: "We will reinstill a warrior culture, not a woke culture."

Platner is a product of white people who are desperate for addressing classism but refuse to acknowledge that misogyny, transphobia, homophobia and racism are components of classism that need to be exorcised for the socialism they want. They want reprieve with no deconstruction of their bigotry.

if you what

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

Monica Gellar voice: “Coking? THAT’S NOT EVEN A WORD! Use your head, autocorrect!”

I used to work on a soap opera as an AD (Frank Valentini, the current EP of GENERAL HOSPITAL was my boss) and it's really delightful seeing people discover how fun these shows can be through the Oliver cameo

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

As much as I hate to say it because it’s cheap webforum meta discourse, the strongest correlation to Platner support wasn’t ideology, it was if you still frequently use X, The Everything App. I would hope that would lead to some introspection about what remaining on there does to your judgement.
