Trans Porn Is Booming. Trans Rights Are Fading We asked trans models and creators about the complicated link between desire and politics, as trans porn is booming while rights fade.

Oof. What a headline.

Oh! Love that it jumped fences to get there. Haha

He’s probably going around the neighborhood to all the houses asking for food. A real Six Dinner Sid over there.

Word got out - there’s food in your house

I cannot think of a less important use of our time right now. The only ethical thing is to return ownership to ByteDance.

The American people deserve an on-the-ground account of Kristi Noem’s reaction when she found out she’d been fired.

Not helped by the fact that Richard Chamberlain was 50 years old at the time of shooting. Not 50 years old like The Rock, but 50 years old like your uncle who has a couple of beers for lunch and falls asleep in front of the TV but makes sure to get up by 5 so he doesn’t spoil his 9pm bedtime.

Oh my god! I was going to say β€˜congrats!’ In the first half. I don’t know you, internet stranger, but I am sorry it didn’t work out for you and hope you recover soon.

Live updates: Iran vows revenge after U.S. sinks warship; foreign minister rejects negotiations Follow live updates and the latest news coverage as Iran vows revenge for the U.S. warship sinking, Trump and Israel strike Tehran, and Americans are stranded in the Middle East.

US foreign policy for the last 250 yrs or so has been to immiserate the population of a country we don’t like in increasingly cruel and deadly ways in the hopes that this will make them love and respect us. It’s never once worked, but that hasn’t stopped us from doing it.

This is a good answer and could serve as a model for all Dems. Don’t let republicans define trans issues - or any issues - on their terms. The way forward is not to abandon trans people, but to point out how absurd and sad the Republican obsession with them is.

Is this North by Northwest? It’s been a bit since I’ve seen it.

I feel like this is a function traditional film criticism fills - an interested and educated person writing knowledgeably about specific films. I know it’s all video now, but I do have a fondness for really high quality film criticism.

Yeah. It’s so easy to control people’s ass-holery over here compared to threads. Plus if I post anything with the word trans in it - even if it only reaches a few people - I get transphobes attacking me. It’s so weird and annoying.

Someone on Threads was complaining about BlueSky because it was β€˜so combative’ and I’ve literally never experienced that. I asked them for examples and they said they get yelled at by far-left people for their political opinions. I don’t know. Have you considered having better opinions? 😝

Right right. That’s been especially effective on TikTok.

Oh I see! Your statement is perfectly clear, I was just reading it backwards. Yes. I agree we should tackle that.

What do you mean by recommendation algorithms that optimize time on site? I know what a recommendation algorithm is, but I don’t understand how it’s optimizing time on site.

Right. Okay that was my first thought then I second guessed myself. The argument that trans people don’t need all of their rights and that we should give up one or two as a treat.

Yeah we bombed a foreign country, but a trans guy was driving a car, you see why we had to act.

Yeah I’m #MAGA. The US should stay out of foreign wars and the government should stay out of our lives! That’s why I support President Trump bombing Venezuela and Iran, federal troops kidnapping people without evidence or trial, and making it illegal for trans people to drive or use the bathroom.

Israel and US launch strikes on Iran The Middle East plunges into a renewed military confrontation, dimming hopes for a diplomatic solution to Tehran's nuclear dispute with the West.

Did we just bomb Iran?!
