it's really weird belonging to a faith group that's a totem for another faith group

What if...I didn't have to ask game developers directly to give me the option to turn off the "gives me a migraine" visual effects. What if people actually considered the statistically significant number of people who have medical sensitivities to light or certain distortions.

Making a game demo about a disabled protagonist with accessibility tools "coming soon" isn't a good look (looking at you, TetherGeist)

jk rowling is still palling around with fellow transphobe kaeley triller on twitter, who admitted to the statutory rape of a minor under her care when she was working as a youth counsellor. rowling knows this because she blocks people who tell her

The message tonight is clear: the era of spineless corporate Dems in safe seats is ending. We get the party we demand, and we're demanding fighters. And primary season ain't over. More endorsements to come!

If anyone's organizing an event in memory of Kohen, feel free to use this drawing I made. Link to the CryptPad in my pinned post.

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

A year before I lost my job because my boss was obsessed with AI. I told everyone that using them was fine but to be aware the true cost was hidden and not to become reliant on them because it's a product not a technology. Anyway I hope my boss goes broke trying to replace me with a bad computer.

" It's only online you end up screaming & shouting & being attacked by them. In real life, you have a chat, & we all kind of sigh & put up with each other."

I would have considered myself fairly radical two years ago but nothing radicalized me like doing a pride talk for a major car company’s LGBT ERG and then having them disband it not even six months later when it was clear to them that Trump was going to win

“Waiting lists are falling”

Devastating things keep happening to people I used to be in communities with, and sometimes it feels hard to breathe

this is disgusting and horrifying. our brothers deserve safety and then chance to thrive!

Just found a subreddit that pairs people with fucked up balls of string with people who love detangling balls of string and it is *very* wholesome

What if you invented a bus that went on some kind of rail or track? And you could make sure the rail had only very gentle curves and slopes so that they could be handled at speed. To make it extra efficient you could even string multiple buses together so you only need one engine.

Chat: How do we feel about riding on a bus at 140 mph?

between him and Cassidy I am sick and tired of guys who are personally responsible for putting these dudes in their current positions of power whining about them on the television Tillis was the deciding vote for Hegseth, Cassidy for RFK, own your awful choices and apologize for what you did

And for those of us with GRCs, we’re between a rock and a hard place: we’re no longer our gender in the EA, but still our gender in the GRA. If I were to marry, I’d be legally female at the ceremony, but when I needed the toilet at the reception, I’d be legally expected to use the men’s.

😠

Social Media Only: Here is a new sneak peek of the PMC COVlD Hot Spot Map. Do you think a version of our Hot Spot Map would be helpful to people seeking to avoid COVID? ⚡️🧵QUICK THREAD: 1 of 3

Trump serves the same purpose for libs that he serves for conservatives - he gives them permission to be their worst selves. Conservatives view him as aspirational. Libs view him (correctly) as vile, and (falsely) conclude that they are good people as long as they're not quite as awful as him.

This is one of the best things I’ve ever read and I’m only halfway through

Oh my fucking god. It’s never okay for a lawyer to use AI to write a brief, but it’s EXTREMELY not okay when the lawyer in question is assigned counsel for a criminal defendant!!!! www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf...

I suspect @mcuban.bsky.social wildly underestimated what that White House appearance did for his public image. I know people a lot of not particularly political people that strongly dislike Trump who consider themselves Mark Cuban fans.

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

So this is pretty obviously straightforward rigging of the courts. No way around it.

It's always fun trying to catch up on the Discourse and finding out that a significant part is people's inability to be fucking Normal about harm reduction

Seeking health care as a woman in one headline www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

They were laying groundwork for this for years, and then of course the figurehead they've picked (Christina Buttons, pictured here) is a TERF who had her debut piece on Bari Weiss' Free Press

yeah man if you think about it being a disagreeable cis man in politics is just like being a closeted trans person who makes a piece of art and gets so badly harassed over it by institutional gatekeepers who think you're a chud that you leave the internet, institutionalize yourself, and detransition

im just fucking baffled

Will Stancil is afraid of getting treated the same way he treats trans women

here’s a PSA that if you’ve ever gotten medical imaging done you can request a copy of the data from the hospital and extract a model of your own body parts to look at, or even 3D print. pretty useful if you’re in the market for contemplating your own mortality

this is who yall are attacking trans women for

Stancil refuses to call the genocide of Indigenous peoples by white colonists during the U.S. founding and westward expansion a genocide

Criticizing Israel and its behavior and policies, even very sharply, isn’t bigoted. Reflexively responding to any mention of Jews, Judaism, Jewish history or culture, or the Jewish community with demands to denounce Israel is absolutely bigoted and also unhinged.

Feels like what Stencil's followers don't get is that the reason a lot of leftists find him infuriating is that he claims leftism, gets treated as legitimate because he's a white cis guy, then shows in his harassment of marginalized people and justification of harm that his commitment isn't real.

Notice who he's painting a target on, once again. Trans people, particularly trans women. Furries, leftists. Why are his demons all women and leftists and trans people? This statement could have come out of the mouth of any 2010s era right-winger unchanged.

man who says israel is my country and benjamin netanyahu is my prime minister: here, worship this golden calf

Seriously. I am once again asking gentiles to learn to be normal about Jews. Start with 5 minutes a day if you have to, work up to longer.

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

"we lost this election specifically and ONLY because ONE particular group of people didn't support us, so we are going to spend every waking minute between now and the next election telling those people to eat shit and go fuck themselves and die" -The democratic party, on repeat, forever

YES

just found out there was a medieval italian guy called bartolomeo coglioni which means "bartholomew balls" and his coat of arms was three pairs of balls and his war cry was "coglia! coglia! coglia!" which means "balls! balls! balls!"
