people who move to dubai are an order of magnitude more annoying than any other expat because dubai is the only place in the world that's worse than las vegas

Oh boy, today's the day!

if I were in charge I’d make it so you’re not allowed to be in any elected position of power unless you have suffered a tremendous personal setback at some point in your life. If you’ve never been fucked over, if your life has never been ruined, I don’t trust you to control other people’s lives

The first recorded gender affirming surgery happened in *1922*. Hormone replacement therapy was pioneered (for menopausal women) the following decade. The earliest reports on gender affirming HRT came in the 50s, with Christine Jorgensen being the agreed upon "official" first patient to use it.

I don't think people's problem with, for example, the paper's decade-long crusade putting a big ol' target on trans people's backs can be accurately described as NYT doing "reporting that doesn't always 100% accord with what advocacy groups want."

Tatsuki Fujimoto, everyone.

Wait til zoomers learn about Chris Dorner en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo...

roughly once a decade America ignores every single lesson of history to start a doomed, insane war with the promise of swift, overwhelming victory and ends up spending a trillion dollars on war crimes that accomplish nothing

Reeducation camps for all Trump supporters is the moderate option

Oh no I realize it. I think you all deserve to grind corn with the treadwheel everyday for the next 80 years.

Wiga has been sealed away…in her place rise “Miga”, a silly dog of the heaven

Hard times for anyone with a semblance of a soul

Oh this entire enterprise needs to up in flames NOW

The people supporting this bombing are the same people who spout canned justifications for lynching, school shootings, police brutality, and ICE building concentration camps. They do not have compassion, empathy or human decency to appeal to in way. They enjoy the suffering of others like a meal.

We’re incredibly lucky that these people are all idiots

"why do young people love live service games so much" i ask myself while i wait 20 straight years for a new elder scrolls game

Yeah ehm ngl Etsy forcing users to ID via Persona may be the final nail in the coffin because I refuse to agree to that.

“Correct me if I’m wrong” what kind of friend do you think I am. I will embrace you if you are wrong, I will support you if you are wrong. I will be wrong with you. We will be completely wrong, together

Evil Within 1 is like the rosetta stone of survival horror after 2014

"Which way western leftist", and it's just whether or not to fellate a mass-murdering theocratic fascist:

The 1,000,000 dead ones sure don't.

Just give them hormones!! Why do we have to make trans kids wait half of their teenage years to grow up the way they want!!

Look I understand I’m an outlier here bc the history has been written as “everyone (meaning the general population of the US) supported the Iraq war in 2003” but that was not my experience at all and watching the consent manufacturing of being told everyone supported it was horrifying

it's all lost to time now but max landis used to pretend to be his own girlfriend on a forum about professional wrestling

In the biggest upset of the night, Michael B. Jordan won the Actor Award for ‘Sinners’ over Timothée Chalamet. He gave a heartfelt speech thanking his mother and ended with, ‘Yeah, this is pretty cool.’

speaking as someone old enough to remember, the Cold War was very bad and imminently apocalyptic in ways our life today isn’t, but the psychic damage was different. We didn’t *know* about Able Archer until years later. I’d say this is much more of a constant assault on dignity and sanity.

I think it's time to start talking about what a Platner primary win would mean in terms of stepping on Democratic Party messaging NATIONALLY this November, which will presumably include a heavy focus on attacking: --Secret Police --Concentration Camps --Gestapo-like tactics & fascism in general

From 9/11 to somewhere around '07 when people realized that, oh wait, Bush is an IDIOT idiot, every day felt like being the one old anarchist who saw what was coming as everyone sang "Tomorrow Belongs to Me"

Two critically acclaimed box office powerhouses going head to head in awards season from the same studio that is months away from closing up shop and going extinct. The entertainment industry is terminally ill. #sagawards #awardsseason

Either Platner's a Nazi or he accidentally got a Nazi tattoo & kept it for almost 20 years, accidentally RT'd a guy who recently proposed a "final solution" for American Jews, & accidentally went on the podcast of a guy who thinks Israel killed JFK. If he's not a Nazi, HE'S EXTREMELY NOT BRIGHT.

Amy Madigan, Wunmi Mosaku, and Teyana Taylor have all won different major precursors, so this will be totally up in the air come Oscar night. Love a real race.

Resident Evil Requiem is a great example of how I don’t actually hate nostalgic fan service as long as it’s done well and feels earned

One thing that kinda struck me about that TPUSA halftime show was that was what mainstream media was like from like, late 2001 to at least the 2008 recession. Just constant, unceasing jingoism

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace

Honestly I think the leadup to the Iraq war was worse than all this because the buy-in was so all-encompassing. I keep asking myself how anyone could fall for it again but the thing is, they mostly haven't

NYT says the damage to the hospital was likely from targeting "Network 2", a state-run news outlet. What NYT DOESN'T say is that targeting civilians, even those who happen to work for state-run TV, is a war crime. I wonder why they didn't want to print that? One can only guess... 🙄

This does not feel like an encouraging sign, for one of the few US manga publishers to not be just a branch of a larger Japanese one to become precisely that.

I like this resident evil monster design
