"Principal investigator: J Michael Bailey; Research site: Northwestern University" First time as tragedy, second and subsequent times as farce that nonetheless somehow manages to kill more and more people on each iteration

i know "local career politician with october surprise sexual misconduct allegations beats young leftist woman with lots of momentum but _just_ not quite enough to beat the establishment machine" is one of the most obvious election stories out there but that's kinda why it sucks so much isn't it

"The government maintains that panic buying is driving the perceived fuel shortages" hahaha we're so fucked www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Cursus Honorem (leftist)

Four-day week, jackets off: The world starts cutting back on fuel amid supply concerns

My new writing style for my NationStates lore is a mix of 1) mildly wistful original content 2) grindingly realistic jargon 3) completely made up original jargon

iPhone just informed me that my photos may include depth information. Does that mean “in the sense that someone could reconstruct a 3D model of a photo I took” or is it just, like … hey, your photos have EXIF data

I’m trying to envisage what the internet of the future would look like

"Fibrous masses have grown in the lungs of Jose Peña, an Oakland father of five. He's likely headed for a lung transplant, a procedure with grim survival rates." “I’m scared,” he said. “My kids are very sad.”

The writing is on the wall. The UK is going to attempt to ban hormones for trans adults. This is just one of the steps they're taking to limit access slowly. www.thepinknews.com/2026/03/17/n...

The NationStates forum is a stock phpBB board and using it has reminded me how annoying those are

Decided to take a job as a postal carrier, but in, like, an ironic way. Now I'm a woman

I didn't necessarily like learning *classical* piano but I have to give the guys at the AMEB credit, it was very funny when one of the classical books (I think it was) included the Clementi "Groovy Kind of Love" rondo

nobody even wants this it's just harassment

Weird to see people both on here and Twitter not look further into it snd see that this bill is actually substantive— it isn't about just sanctioning only one military unit via Leahy and it is the first bill ever to specifically call for criminal investigations on US citizens serving in the IDF.

TRISTAN: I’m in Kaiba’s car! Broom broom! KAIBA: (with seething hatred) Get out of my car. TRISTAN: Aww

Happy Saint Patrick's day, do any other Irish people sometimes wonder about the fact that the day celebrates a British man that came to our country and eliminated our indigenous religious practices and replaced it with the Christian religion of another empire

Alyssa needs to stay home.

paypal.me/calebhosalla I have severe hypothyroidism and a heart deformation caused by type II diabetes. My endocrinologist is scared and think my parathyroid has damage because I am still hypocalcemic 9 months post surgery. I also take care of my mother, who has a brain injury from sepsis

They want to make us criminals for needing to pee. Please understand that this is the tip of an agenda designed to give trans people two choices: house arrest or imprisonment. Either we lock ourselves inside or they lock us up and forcibly detransition and torture us. This is exterminationist.

(with quiet satisfaction) God's favourite daughter (derogatory) has returned

My ancestors setting foot for the first time on Australian shores:

bitdizzy!!

did you know that reddit was the largest website for men to trade CSAM, in open public, until CNN reported on reddit being the largest website for men to trade CSAM in open public, because transsexuals did Poster's Jihad on r/jailbait? did you know that reddit is more into child rape than any chan?

@bitdizzy.bsky.social is risen today A-a-a-a-alleluia Fuck what all the haters say A-a-a-a-alleluia Poasting power defied the mod How'd she do it? With jihad

Oh this must be the guy bitdizzy keeps mentioning

(Theodore Roosevelt's diary entry for the day of the death of both his mother Martha and his wife Alice. It consists of the letter X followed by the words "The light has gone out of my life".)

"Kent has resigned in opposition to the conduct of the war. Also, he is anti-semetic," sounds like a revision note of one of the lesser Shakespeare plays.

Plagiarising Porpentine's thing outright but calling it "Hot Minority Stress" instead so I can get it accepted by a journal

I've been struggling how to phrase this all day but I think one thing people don't appreciate about type 2 diabetes is that the carb and sugar loading behaviour observed in a lot of us is both 1) correct 2) lethal

THE WICKED WITCH OF THE EAST, BRO

it's the one day of the year i get to post this image :0

It is an antisemitic trope that the us government does Israel’s bidding. Trump made the decision to bring us to war; the fault lies with him.

The best thing about coming back to NationStates is reintroducing my Mary Sue from when I was 13

Mimic which can't convincingly manage sophisticated enough behaviour to pass as Fellow Human Adventurer, but has mastered "look eepy" and "go 'awawawa'" and is living its best if somewhat confused life after an all-trans women party took it home with them

For the record I think whatever's wrong with me that is manifesting as type 2 diabetes, it's been wrong with me for most of my life

For the record, this is obviously bullshit because I recently played through STARFIELD with DLSS off and it looked like the one on the right most of the time anyway

I think considering that executives don't do any actual work and only exist to destroy others' work, when the revolution comes, the restoration that they will have to make will include redistributing all the money they've ever received in those roles

ur 21-year-old incel nephew with no adam's apple and naturally long eyelashes

What kind of developed country navy has no fucking minesweepers

Discovered by looking through publicly available metadata that a prominent Australian anti-trans activist also runs a company which provides training to those impacted by "poverty, abuse, and attitudes of prejudice". Under her real name, even. The neck on that one

TFW Trump is actually one of the most self aware guys in the room web.archive.org/web/20240222...

I could probably deal with being diabetic if I thought that dealing with the symptoms was going to clear my brain. Unfortunately it looks like it might be the opposite: dealing with the symptoms means accepting that the brain fog which stops me from doing anything is permanent now

Also, THE NOTICER is running with the idea that Craig Silvey's CSEM possession case somehow counts as a trans crime because he put a trans character in one of his books. And this is why you don't retweet the fucking NOTICER! If the obvious, virulent antisemitism *in the name* wasn't enough!

Apparently a cis dude in Melbourne who got arrested and deported for filming women in toilets tried to get out of it by claiming he was trans and now Family First are claiming that means he actually was

I get this line of thinking, but let's be real. This is a tragedy bc so many creatives are never gonna be able to tell their stories & represent themselves in games. How many games made by indigenous people can you name for example? We can't just let this medium die.
