I used to fly 35 weeks out of the year and the shit I've heard come out of people's mouths with or without speakerphone never ceased to amaze me. I would play this game to try to see if I could figure out who the person was and find them on social media. My clearance rate was easily over 50%.

This is horrifying and also a typical response from the police. Cops have told this to countless women whose partners have threatened to kill them, myself included.

This isn't the most important point but the article's title kind of misunderstands it. Men (generally) don't "want kids," they want to be fathers, and there is a difference in the way Talia said. But the headline just frames it as a reproductive issue rather than an issue of social relations.

If you're a writer or researcher who thinks AI is better than you at your job, I believe you. I just don't think you should pretend like your skill issue affects me

If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

Bingo. I would argue that men’s behavior during fatherhood during the entire history of my life and then some proves this to be the case.

The stereotype is as such for a reason.

These guys are constantly telling on themselves that they can’t imagine anyone acting on an actual principle. Protesters? Must be getting paid. Bishops noticing that Jesus had some thoughts on welcoming the stranger? Gotta be a payday in there.

We'll find out in a couple of weeks like we did with the rant about Tylenol.

Platner is the shining symbol to the matty y and jon favreaus of the world that their world will stay the same and they won't suddenly need to actually be competent at things to survive. They need Platner to win. He represents them

Why does a very logical call made after decades and decades of police brutality and violence in black communities across the US appear extreme and out of control rather than logical and actually a moderate position?

So it might do all of us good to wonder why people like him appear normal and logical and people that say abolish the police (for example) appear extreme and out of control.

Which is to say- choices were made back in the day. And it does us no good to pretend like he got famous and is making big money bcz nobody liked him lol. People liked that moderate to conservative β€˜reasonable’ pundit and they chose that repeatedly.

The funny thing is MY and I came up in the blogging world at the same time, but he got rich and I’m crowd funding to pay for cancer check ups.

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

We went from making up reasons like "weapons of mass destruction" to you know what, fuck it we don't need to even lie, the president "had a feeling" that they pose a threat so we just bomb them so we can. A country doing this can't expect peace inside.

I think about this a lot. We could have had a better world, but [mostly white] people chose comfort and denial instead. www.businessinsider.com/before-after...

Let's do a thought exercise: what does it say about the state of journalism that this white boy is still employed while Black journalists have been getting fired left and right

What does it tell you about the true purpose of mainstream journalism in this country

this is why it's important to fact check and be critical of the sources from which you are getting your information

biased information isn't inherently bad; however, biased information that perpetuates and normalizes systemic oppression is unequivocally wrong

05.03.2026 11:49 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

in addition to this, people have to understand that if the information you're basing your opinions on is wrong, disinformation, misinformed, racist, white supremacist, antiBlack, misogynistic, queerphobic, transphobic, colorist, ableist, etc., so too will your opinion be

05.03.2026 11:49 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

the sooner people accept the fact that their opinions can be wrong, misinformed, outdated, racist, white supremacist, antiBlack, misogynistic, queerphobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, colorist, etc. & that being challenged on and corrected about it isn’t a bad thing, the better we’ll all be

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.
