In retrospect, I find it actually kind of weird that we as a culture over several generations excused some comedians for being shitty people because we saw being shitty to everyone as "equal treatment".

ppl say of bigoted comedians like ricky gervais: oh he's not a bigot! he makes fun of EVERYONE!

first of all thas not true. when did you ever hear gervais doing 5-10 minutes on straight white guys?

secondly... yeah bigots usually are pretty inclusive of all minorities. bigotry is rarely exclusive.

This James Acaster clip is always relevant when talking about Ricky Gervais

Transphobia in comedy is always cheap laughs from the utter hack, I don't give a shit how famous the comedian is.

A lot of great comedians manage to be hilarious without it, it's a creative and moral failing and fuck those people.

What is NOT SO FUN and taints the memory pretty badly is it turns out Jonathan Ross had glowing support for JK Rowling and Graham Linehan, and previous transphobic 'jokes.'

I wasn't aware of all this, I don't keep up with celebrities that much.

So, poop on him.

Anyway, that's the story.

Okay, so I saw Jonathan Ross on Would I Lie To You and it reminded me of meeting him, it was either SDCC or Wonder Con, several years ago.

I thought it was funny because almost the first thing he said to me was cussing.

NOT MEAN, it was just funny.

U.S. Catholic Bishops Launch Attack on Trans Healthcare; It’s Time To Fight Back While headlines were giving the Catholic church hierarchy plaudits for symbolic gestures in support of immigrants and a papal lunch with trans people, American bishops passed a major ban on trans heal...

Before praising the current papacy, remember that late last year the Catholic Church imposed one of the most sweeping bans on trans healthcare yet, cutting off life-saving care throughout its sprawling U.S. hospital networks:

Remember, the catholic church is not your fucking friend, no matter what PR bullshit the Head Pedo spews.

The only difference between them and Epstein's network is that they've been doing it longer.

The tariffs ruling is the right result from a terrible process The conservative justices — even the ones who ruled against Trump — are making it up as they go.

"...unfortunately for all of us, even though this particular (Supreme Court) case turned out correctly, it highlights that the six conservative justices have extremely radical anti-constitutional ideas about how American democracy works."

Get a lawyer. SSI & SSDI both are astronomically difficult to obtain without a lawyer. I got denied, failed appeal, AND my appeal to a higher court was rejected abnormally, forcing me to reapply.

Got a lawyer during the appeal step. My second application was filled out with the lawyer at the start.

PLEASE HELP. I feel subhuman and the shame is unreal. I’m sorry.

I can’t afford my rent. I have to scatter to reapply to ABD because theyre mad my disability was declined (my case manager applied to the wrong one)
IM SCARED I’m trying so hard not to give up and die despite how much I wish I could.

This Palestinian account has been marked as spam despite obviously being a real person. This has been happening to all of them. When an account is marked as spam it seems like you can't even repost someone's quote tweet of them; they're effectively just banished to the shadow realm.

Can’t recommend switching to Blacksky, Northsky, etc. enough. Plus using a third party app.

I still see all of these posts.

Cursed course routing

Still haven't had any donations in a while, I just want to make sure I can eat, and eventually buy clothing that fits, as well as some basic furniture such as a dresser.

Thank you, this has been extremely difficult to keep pushing but I want to live for my kiddo.

Help me.

My library is promoting AI use. I want to threaten to piss on the floor until they stop

Literary agents urge writers to avoid AI as they see ‘change in nature of submissions’ A number of literary agencies are adding amendments to their submission guidelines urging authors not to use AI in their submissions, as signs of its use become more prevalent.

How has this happened? How do you even sleep at night if you submit a manuscript featuring AI? How do you then leave your bed, & continue to walk around, doing everyday things, conning yourself into the conviction that you're still a person, much less a writer? www.thebookseller.com/news/literar...

youre just a fucking loser if you use AI, straight up a loser. A pathetic loser who cant be bothered to actually do something.

They just don't make commercials like this anymore

This is AI btw

Maria Bartiromo: "It's incredible to me that it appears to be that the Democrats are so angry about President Trump's success, he's been so successful on so many levels and has done things so fast that now the Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union."

eugenics is the foundational brick of so many of our present horrors. resisting that by helping create safer public spaces for all people matters.

Mike Morris: The old dogma of industrial forestry no longer cuts it The system wants to continue the old model of intensive industrial forestry

Same (even worst) in Québec. Our so-called ecosystemic approach is bullshit. "Clearcutting with reserve" is bullshit. Environnemental justice -especially towards indigenous peoples- is simply not happening. We cowardly lost the "caribou forestier". The more I study forestry, the more I'm angry.
