I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran). The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Of those, about .003 percent are trans. That’s less than one-third the proportion that trans ppl constitute in the US population.🧵

Fuck yeah and I look forward to the day when our existences are no longer a rebellion but just who we are.

Standard time year round is the preferred choice

honorable mention for "i think i'm qualified to determine which grants should be terminated bc i've read books" "oh yea, which books qualify you?" "there are no books"

And the OG trilogy had strong queer vibes because of the many collaborators involved, but having just watched all the prequels, I can tell you with great confidence that they are an LGBTQIA+ energy black hole. Except Padme, who is for the lesbians, but I think that’s an accident and WELL.

This is false. Jamal Harrison Bryant, a Megachurch pastor, has said the boycott is over. He is not leaders, plural. He and his church were not the ones to start the calls for boycott. Nekima Levy Armstrong, who founded the Racial Justice Network, and other Minnesota civil rights activists were.

The 2023 time stamp on this canon post is incredible. This is a 2014 weird twitter post. It’s like discovering the living coelacanth

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

there was a new study published *today* in Nature showing that state-level anti-trans laws increase suicide among trans kids up to 72%. when we say that the New York Times (and other rags of equal repute) is killing us, that's because *IT IS LITERALLY KILLING US*

A Texas senator would never post porn on main on 9/11 wait

From the studio that brought you, "What if literally everything around you had feelings," and "Okay, what if your FEELINGS had feelings," Comes, "What, like queers have feelings?"

When do they start kissing???

I think Graham Platner is in a really solid place as his supporters are comparing him to Edward Norton in American history x

Y'all just want to annoy trans people because there is no way you can tell me trans voters aren't pragmatic. They put the bar in hell for you and you can't clear it? This far ahead of the election? With Walz and Pritzker? Not to mention the possibility of an underdog candidate like Mamdani or Obama?

Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how you’re not a slaver.

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care BECAUSE my position is immutable

clinton's plan to beat trump was to elevate him above the rest of the republican field and then coast to an easy victory. i don't think she was right about that

TRANS RIGHT'S ARE HUMAN RIGHT'S - dashare.zone ADMIN

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.

if Graham Platner didn’t know that he got a nazi symbol tattooed over his heart, then he shouldn’t be a senator. if Graham Platner did know that he got a nazi symbol tattooed over his heart, then he shouldn’t be a senator. Graham Platner should not be a senator.

I will never vote for Kamala Harris.

when you win a small concession you just get to keep yelling btw. one time a local official said to me "you people are never happy" and like: correct! it is not our job to be happy with compromise! it's our job to be annoying forever actually

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

I'll spell this out straight: you have a trust deficit to overcome. When you call the T&S team "great", you are not acknowledging that users have been burned and are distrustful. Similarly, saying your users are all conspiracy theorists does not build their trust in you.

I gather that everyone here is 100% certain JD Vance is racist. So, who here actually knew that Vance's wife isn't white? And how does that influence your certainty?

Hey all, sorry to say this, as I think I have well-intentioned friends who signed, but this "declaration" means nothing. Because Steve Bannon signed it, and he wants my family dead. So if you can sign along side him? At best, you got played. He's the "humanity in control". humanstatement.org

We're being all smug about AI now, but I got left behind in 2002 because I didn't learn how to drive a Segway.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

incredible scenes where this is apparently a thing that Khameni has been wanting for ages and others on the council were pushing back against because optics but now council's all dead and congratulations on toppling the regime by giving the previous leader exactly what he wanted- a family throne

Mario Kart is white supremacist, Catcher in the Rye is white supremacist dirtbag leftist dreck, Venezuelan books are white supremacist, cyberpunk is generally white supremacist, gay revolution is white supremacist. Masscult under illegalism is inherently white supremacist. Sorry to spoil your 'fun'.

Where? How? These people have been pooping this stupid myth back and forth for so long that they don't even bother to provide basic evidence anymore. It's the *premise* of the article, how did an editor not ask for specific numbers and peer-reviewed studies on this alleged phenomenon?

the page is really fun

SO THAT'S IT, JUST GOOD LUCK USSD: ...I don't recall saying good luck.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Fellas, is it neoliberal to shame your family?

trump voice: “its very very important, our twinks, they’re beautiful, the most beautiful in the world. and we have to protect them, its true. the trrransgenders, they want to take away our twinks, but im not gonna let em. no way”

we've forgotten about it but israel also targeted iranian opposition leaders and dissidents still in country in the opening strike wave. they want to kill *anyone* who could possibly be a future source of legitimate power

Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

Trump went from an obviously fake “No More Forever Wars” to “No! More Forever Wars” pretty fast

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...
