She deserves a medal for not giving into the urge to throw one of these dinosaurs into the reflecting pool.

wait lol this is so much worse than I expected the explanation to be? they published the story based on two words, neither of which was Alito’s name??? that’s the most obviously fireable offense possible if it’s any other journalist alive????? www.npr.org/sections/npr...

Yes we're going to make it, stop fucking dooming

The issue with these people screaming is at the core they do not trust Democrats. They don’t trust anyone besides the puny circle. If you think the fucking Congressional Black Caucus doesn’t hate the Supreme Court with all their souls, your opinion is worthless because you’re not living in reality

i mean if the pope is gonna be excommunicating a bunch of guys tomorrow anyway, why not put some more names on the list. c’mon. as a treat, holy father. it would be fun and funny.

I don't think people understand the degree to which outlets like The Atlantic and The New York Times set back trans rights with second-rate reporting that doesn't stand up now, let alone in the future. They have failed at the most basic journalistic duties.

Thinking about this today for reasons.

Still cannot fucking believe some people think codifying Roe in legislation would have made it past these robed scoundrels. They destroyed a law passed unanimously (the VRA). The Conservatives on the Court voted 4-2 (!!!!!) to destroy a Constitutional amendment via Trump memo.

The end of this article brings up the finacial/logistical burdens brought on by this hateful nonsense and like, would an insurance provider even cover genetic/hormone testing for this bullshit?

prepare to have your daughter accused of being a boy and face demands that her gentials be inspected if the dad on the other team thinks that she fouled his special snowflake too hard

elderly council of wizards mandates child gential inspections.

Cool that James Madison envisioned everyone having a rocket launcher but the authors of the 14th amendment explicitly stating their intentions doesn't count for some reason.

This Tom Kean story is gonna crack open a real gross batch of The Discourse about depression that's, honestly, not gonna be any fun.

Nice to hear Kean is doing better. Mine isn't this severe but can be an absolute bear to deal with. Also wish every American had the option to take four months medical leave and not absolutely finacially ruin themselves by doing so.

If Representative Kean can take four paid months off of work in Congress to work on his mental health while receiving top-quality inpatient care, why is every single American not entitled to free healthcare?

Exit light Enter night Take my hand Morocco beat the Netherlands

Thanks, John. Should have thought of that: bookshop.org/p/books/char...

An open letter, to readers, about Charity and Sylvia. I am very pained to feel the need to write this. #queerhistory #pride

Players and fans on both sides are weeping this is electric. A

AHHHHHHHHH MOROCCO

And somehow it’s gotten better

OH NO

This is why I don't follow sports. This shit is too stressful.

It's not too late to call your reps to vote NO on KOSA, and if you like being able to sign on to the internet without entering your driver's license or passport number, it's crucial that you do! I left a message over the weekend and called again for good measure today. I hope you do the same!

Germany defeated by ill-thought-out expansion to more countries than were in the original plan

Noooo Morocco

Don't 👏 toss 👏 cigarettes👏 out👏 car 👏 windows 👏

Yeah, a cleat to the dome will certainly open you up.

Why the hell did they abbreviate Morocco as 'MAR'?

I normally don't give a shit about soccer but man, I'm a sucker for a good powerhouse upset.

The nice thing about the queer community is that there's space for all varieties. Some of us are adventurous, out-all-night gays, some of us are boring bed-by-9 gays and many of us fall somewhere in the middle.

1) Some of us queer people are just turbo normie dweebs. 2) Pete Buttigieg was 16 when Matthew Shepard was beaten to death for being gay. I wouldn't be surprised if Chasten had similar feelings growing up in the era they did.

Lmao

its almost like a political party, when it is on message and in unison, can sway public opinion

*whispers* Will Stancil's right about groups of people making up elaborate backstories for prominent posters to justify their shared dislike of them. I know this because they've done it for me and the person they've invented bears absolutely no resemblance to who I am.

It's that time of year when we have to tell people to not hold lit fireworks.

If this doesn't end up being catastrophic, it will be this administrations's greatest accomplishment.

every single person in the Maine senate race comes out looking awful: -Mills for being an awful candidate -Schumer/Gillibrand for recruiting Mills and discouraging others from running -Platner for being a sicko -the activists/unions who recruited platner -Collins for being a fascist enabler

The next Dem president should take full advantage of this and fire every single Republican appointee

Alito's argument – that counting ballots after Election Day means "the electorate’s choice does not occur on election day, and the federal election-day statutes are violated" – is some of the dumbest reasoning I have ever seen. The "choice" doesn't occur at the time of counting!

Ugh. Just waiting for this to end in the jurisprudence that parents have a right to be notified when their kids seek gender-affirming care but do not, thanks Skrmetti, have the right to obtain gender-affirming care for their kids.

Giving survivorship bias a whole new meaning

we will get a ton of stuff like this, where AI is a very useful tool that, used correctly by experts, can achieve remarkable things. it needs to be reported *as a tool* and examined properly.

Absolutely incredible. The detailing and that little recessed area between the columns? It's fake -- printed. A big damn flat sticker or something. 2D, not actually 3D and real.

I mean, good for her honestly. What's the point of going to a school like Reed is you aren't gonna do at least a little ill-advised bullshit.

Stranger Things really did serious damage to the way modern young people think about the relatively recent past. A teenage boy didn't just come out as gay in 1987 to a room full of people, some of whom were friends/family but some of whom he barely knew, and receive unanimous praise and support.

Truly the wildest thing I've learned about Europe this week is that it seems rather common for like, a hospital to not have A/C.
