My view - if you carry a baby in your body, considering how goddamn hard that is, you get to declare whatever title for yourself you want. You want to be call Wombmaster? Sounds good, Wombmaster. You fuckin' earned it.

LOL

Fixing absolutely terrible alt-text, not crediting OP because you don’t get credit for work you don’t do.

Republican Sunday: YOU HAVE AWAKENED A DRAGON OF WHITE RAGE WE WILL SWIM IN THE BLOOD OF OUR TERRORIST ENEMIES AS THEIR CHILDREN WORK OUR SLAVE CANPS Republican Monday: we’re sweet widdle puddy tats what never hurted a fly and the mean man’s post fwightened us so bad we cwosed up our widdle eyes

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

Hope is not the thing with feathers That comes home to roost When you need it most. Hope is an ugly thing With teeth and claws and Patchy fur that’s seen some shit.

This is *stunningly* disingenuous, and the fact that Singal continues to enjoy a career writing at the highest levels about a topic that he either unwilling or incapable of discussing honestly is such an indictment of the Anglo-American prestige media.

The spectacle of unqualified dipshits getting up and talking out their ass about shit they don’t care to comprehend, just to show us how they can force us live in their ignorance.

Apologies, correct data appended here, but the point is still correct: Implying a 20% detransistion rate by including people switching between "trans" and "nonbinary" and cis kids who later became trans is wildly dishonest.

calling out hypocrisy is useless when dealing with those for whom reality is infinitely malleable and truth is necessary only when convenient for the accrual of power... but that doesn't mean it can't be hilarious. guys, wouldn't it be easier to just be yourself? www.queerty.com/youll-never-...

[writing a mad libs] trump will be taken down by [noun] TYLENOL after upsetting [name] JIMMY KIMMEL while he [verb] URINATES ON LINDSAY GRAHAM wow, that dude better watch out.

One thing Ron Friedman did that might get overlooked in the discussion about his work (largely because the faster production rate of the cartoon means the idea debuted there) is he pushed hard, and against Hasbro's belief girls have fleas, to get a woman Transformer into the film and franchise.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

a big reason the Disney thing is important is that in the most visible fight the administration has picked, a fight they celebrated winning, ended up as a loss. it's embarrassing and demoralizing. it also shows non-political folks that the pendulum can swing back. that emboldens all of us to fight.

was heartbroken to learn the other day that in the theatrically released version of the minecraft movie where the vfx were actually finished they moved jack black higher up higher on jason mamoa's torso during that one bit in the flying scene so it looks less like a blowjob

can more of y'all point out: they want to find out the "cause" of autism because they do not want us to exist finding out the "cause" is rooted in a deep hatred of autistic folks if they cared about us, they would offer us supports instead of impotently daydreaming about our eradication

This kind of place you're either going to have a life-changing burger that you'll spend the rest of your days chasing, OR you throw up a brand new type of substance all over the 40

You don't "see" it in us bc we were never diagnosed. They didn't know shit about autism when we were growing up. Hell, they "knew" there was NO such thing as comorbid autism & ADHD until 2013. There's no way I'm going for an official diagnosis now, putting myself on a gov list is not a top priority

while i am no fan of the pharmaceutical industry it would be very funny if johnson & johnson went full scorched earth on the trump administration for hurting tylenol sales

finally

While I am no fan of pharma companies and Tylenol does have some health issues involved with it, the drug has no practical connection with autism and I hope Johnson & Johnson sue the dickens out of RFK Jr. (and Trump once he leaves office).

I regret to inform you that Gwar has pushed the boundaries of good taste.

Reminder that autism isn't a disease and has existed before Tylenol Reminder that RFK Jr is a LAWYER, he has financial incentive to use his position to grift and rake in profits via litigation He isn't stupid, he's a greedy eugenicist and this is purposeful I'm so fucking tired

Multiple cults, actually - including a few nominally atheist ones

Hey @philplait.bsky.social was listening to Crash Course Astronomy at work (a nice distraction) and got to thinking about when the Sun swells. Do we have any idea what Venus and Mercury will go through? Aside from trillions of tons of superhot gas, I mean. Will this obliterate or just scour them?

Oh and I guess they used the guy's memorial service to sell merch and let an ancient pedophile have a WWE entrance and give a rambling speech about tariffs and chicago. What a fitting testament to a thoroughly useless and ineffective man.

Clinton was helped by the fact that most of the stuff he did wouldn't bear fruit for decades. Reagan was a wrecking ball but Clinton's "reform" actions took many years to build to critical mass: prisons, welfare, banks, telecom ... And yes, he realigned the Democratic party to what it is now.

This corporate chokehold on America's national broadcast networks is brought to you by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and President Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton: Wrecking the future of America for decades but wowee he sure could play saxophone huh?

Dear Disney- I don't see an actual apology there, nor any sort of admission on your gross overreaction and misjudgement over what Kimmel actually (and factually) said. So, yeah, I'm glad you're backing down but I don't think you've really learned anything here.

Kimmel was Sinclair having a hissy fit, but behind closed doors how many much more low-profile voices on virtually any major TV network get silenced because they've done something to annoy Sinclair? How would you ever know? You think Sinclair had the temerity to do this once and once only?

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

yeah sorry still not paying for Disney stuff for a while

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

Something I had hoped would get through to folks during all this but has still flown under the radar: Look at how many different affiliates from different national networks Sinclair owns. ABC, Fox, CBS ... doesn't it seem really strange to own financial interests that are meant to be at odds?

you'd think the complete lobotomization of corporate oversight and the regulatory state in service to corrupt anti-democratic robber barons would be a bigger story, what with the parade of looming mass fatalities and avoidable suffering it will cause

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

Anybody who thinks Arabs as a whole & Palestinians in particularly are especially homophobic doesn't know any. There are gay Arabs & people are tolerant. See how the actual Palestinians on here interact with gay people for your proof. And why do you follow me?

Holy shit

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

"history is also going to remember the cowards who definitely knew better but still let things happen—whether it was for money, convenience, or just comfort. Use ... the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away: F**k you. Make me.”" www.pajiba.com/news/john-ol...

Someone said “what does this mean” So I’ll try this My mom once told me “Sometimes the only way to be a good Christian you gotta stop going to a bad church” If you believe in love and peace , and they CHOOSE otherwise It becomes your duty to leave

And on a lighter note, @radiodeadair.com discovered last night that Hamlet is a gamer cat, lol. (Video: Ear tipped black cat is swatting at a virtual mouse running around on a tablet. He also attacks it with his face. A cow kitty and later a calico watch, still deciding what to do.)

Personally, I believe we should talk about the payment corporation censorship in the same terms as Net Neutrality. Make it Payment Neutrality. Payment providers should not be able to discriminate based on what the payment is for. Ever.

'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!' You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:

The right WILL get them all in front of a firing squad in the future, mind, but they tried to hide that goal from their "colleagues" in the Democratic party. Now that than skin-mask has been ripped off there's zero fucking excuse, not that there was EVER a good one before.
