Sounds legit

So many news outlets continue to push the obviously false claim that Elon Musk and DOGE were trying to eliminate waste and fraud.

Also where are we as a fucking country where the dude who thought ”Mulan” was fatally undermining Western civilization turns out to be the (relatively) principled conservative

Saw Ben Shapiro doing a video essay on The Screwtape letters and got so angry I nearly blacked out

People may have figured out who this is based on the city and timeline, then found the victim's relative confirming it on Facebook, Dusti Rhea Duke. www.reddit.com/r/TrueAnon/c...

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Figure Skater Mel and her Costume Maker wife Lest 🥰 I'm working on an unrelated figure skater AU commission, and got way too caught up thinking about them. sometimes you have to draw sidemission art as warm ups #catcouncil

Today’s my birthday! It’s been a rough year, and honestly all I want from any of you is to share my art! 🎂

This hits on a rather uncomfortable dynamic I’ve seen in some JV art where it’s always Jayce making the sacrifices to stay with Viktor without hesitation, Jayce is always the one to reassure Viktor that he’s perfect and he loves him. It just sort of turns Jayce into an ESA and yeah.

merry christmas to my fellow delusional melvik shippers #melvik #melmedarda #viktorarcane #shipart #digitalart

This was entirely about purging a trans instructor from the school and they succeeded. It was aided by a lot of dumb liberals taking it at face value arguing the minutia of grading rubrics while ignoring the obvious bad faith efforts behind this.

"Rebuilding scientific institutions can be a very long process. Some institutions, such as JPL, NOAA, CDC, and NCAR, took decades to establish. They will need to train new researchers, and setting up a laboratory takes time—we're talking years." #SaveNCAR

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives. Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

well, archivists gonna archive. torrents remain undefeated www.404media.co/archivists-p...

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable. every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

A graduate teaching assistant who gave a University of Oklahoma student a failing grade on a psychology essay will no longer be teaching at the university

GenAI cannot summarise anything because it cannot analyse anything because there is no intelligence there. This entire premise starts with a lie and the deceit builds from there.

told my landlord he no longer has to apologize for being white and he lowered my rent by 25%. told the grocer it's now the trump kennedy center and he sold me potatoes for $1. told PG&E it's a christian nation now and electricity is free. try it sometime

I vividly remember the drama over this toy. There were knock down drag out fights over it.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

As long as no one objected to the genocide in Gaza, it’s all good

20,000 words, 150 footnotes, 100+ timeline events = our attempt at documenting and synthesizing all the ways that the federal government has attempted to destroy access to gender-affirming care since January unbreaking.org/issues/trans...

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

meljay day ??? : i slaked a little today. mel + jayce but i didnt color jayce because his clothing frustrated me + small corrections on the big meljay picture (jayce focused). im still cleaning his head before i start render..

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

“They’re going to bring back suffering and death,” said Dr. Sean O’Leary, chair of the infectious disease committee for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “I don’t say that with any hyperbole, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.”

the epstein files as rick owens fall/winter 2024

The people at Kid Fucker Island aren't victims, I want their fucking names and faces.

In the Epstein line. www.justice.gov/epstein

This sounds like a great way to satisfy Trump supporters’ ambition to brutalize and kill people.

The filing serves as a quiet declaration of war against half the country. Government lawyers admitted they withheld grants based on whether a location tends to elect Democratic candidates. By putting this argument on paper, the Department of Justice is attempting to legalize a spoils system where n.

Bluesky's track record of eagerly silencing victims of an ongoing genocide should always be remembered, particularly when we have the next Nuremberg trials for all this shit.

This is why you rarely see the anti trans side going after Hunter Schafer or Kim Petras. They went on puberty blockers and transitioned as teens. They're massively successful and living happy lives. They don't want to highlight that.

Hard no to this: French publisher Harlequin has told translators that their work will now be done by AI. They can ‘revise’ AI translations at much lower rate. It’s a subsidiary of Harper Collins so treat this as a test for rollout elsewhere
