sometimes there's a famous person you like who you know deep down is probably not a good person and you just have to hope you never find out about it

i think i'm the only person who doesn't love chris fleming, idk why but i just don't think he's that funny? maybe i need to give it more of a chance?

the chemist was in WWII and was in the telecommunications team that laid telegraph wire in captured territory

professor of education and chemist at the company that invented these things en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flav-R-...

yep this happened

By this logic, the US has been at war with Iran since 1953, when the CIA overthrew Mohammed Mossadegh to ensure that western oil companies, and not the Iranian people, controlled Iranian oil. It’s brutal puppet the Shah tortured & killed for 25 years. That’s why they chanted DEATH TO AMERICA in 1979

i wish this was a joke

meanwhile I know plenty of older people who say they wish they'd grown up in a time of greater acceptance of gender diversity

sad to remember this guy exists

In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel

If medical authorities have a rigorous way of distinguishing effeminate boys from transgender kids—or of distinguishing transgender kids from proto-gay kids—they aren’t saying. I have met a number of detransitioned gay men who tried to live as women for a time because they and their families were so averse to homosexuality. According to a 2019 report in The Times of London, staffers at Britain’s foremost gender-identity clinic joked darkly that, as a result of the facility’s work, “there would be no gay people left.” A statement last month by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that there is no validated way to assess whether a child’s gender distress will persist over time or disappear without medical intervention. A lack of good research and recordkeeping means that we may never know how many patients who would have been considered effeminate gay boys not so long ago have undergone medical treatments for gender dysphoria.

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans.

the grip that the youth lagoon song "17" still has on brooklyn yoga classes 15 years since it's release should be studied

what is better than a war that goes on forever?!

Truly baffling that Mamdani is completely silent on this right now (as is James but their office tends to be kind of intentionally murky)

yeah fuckin duh

subtext is dead, text only from now on

“We thought we were living in a politically neutral slave state.”

Liberals are saying this like anything was happening in terms of the files. There were no riots. Nothing was being done. Why is distraction even needed

i think your point that she's still really young is good and also helps explain yasmin's character arc as well, like these are foundational experiences for these people and they're still becoming the adults they're going to be

Screenshot of text: First, it’s a mistake to say that Trump got America into war on Saturday. What he did was respond to a war that Iran has been waging against the United States since 1979.

Cool hey did anything happen *before* 1979 between the United States and Iran

yeah i think it's a great plot choice

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

literally reads like a line from an ianucci show, we are so beyond

I saw this and at first thought "no, there's no way 'we definitely had alternative leadership in mind for Iran but I blew them up alongside the schoolgirls using AI' is what the White House is actually saying, that's too clueless and evil to be real"

It appears a hospital in Teheran has now been hit.

'The Pitt's' Rape Kit Storyline is Quietly Revolutionary The show’s real-time storytelling gives viewers a startling look at a process rarely captured on TV.

One thing I appreciate about The Pitt is its thoughtfulness in using the real-time format to reframe the tropes of the medical drama. The past two episodes' painstaking account of a sexual assault exam is a remarkable example.
