If they won't drive the vehicles that are provided for them, they are insubordinate and should be fired for cause. At least that's what I've extrapolated from the "fuck your feelings" party's opinions about the workplace over the years.

Every single person who complained that we were "transing the tomboys" needs to know they are culpable in this.

They want us to cosplay the Eisenhowers, including losing children to infectious disease.

It's not enough to prevent hormonal transition, they want to enforce gender stereotypes now, claiming they are divinely ordained despite the fact that the bulk of them come from an idealized version of the 1950s and are ridiculously ahistorical even within the limited western context.

I think it's orangutans who supposedly understand language but don't want jobs 😆

What *exactly* are this person's expenses, I always wonder. I've been hearing about how poor people should live within their means my whole life, clearly ole hundred k should do the same.

I wonder these kinds of things all the time. Like...which animals could use an appropriately-sized straw? Could you teach an ape to use a machete for brush-clearing? Is a giraffe's tongue dexterous enough to hold a harmonica in front of its lips?

As an adult, I choose to only eat the chocolate covered ones.

I've known Krissy casually for years and yet there is always a moment when I think, "Wow, that person is gorgeous and has amazing hair" before my brain actually recognizes her.

Maybe he watches women's sports for sexual gratification and he can't get off if there's a chance any of the athletes are trans. It makes as much sense as any other explanation.

@heyscoops.bsky.social Any chance y'all can leverage your various connections to The Party to get Micah Clark on the pod? We've seen him twice in that show and I just want to hear his story 🤷

I envisioned a monumentally huge pair of old-fashioned-looking calipers grabbing the Earth by each of the tropics and tweaking it.

If you sit on the Aldi until it goes numb it feels like a whole different store

We're becoming such an old couple. Splitting a single entree and the seeing a matinee. Probably in bed by ten.

I'm just waiting for the first AI brain implant to come out and all these folks will line up for their lobotomy

The dealership I bought my EV from keeps sending me postcards begging me to trade it in toward one of their gas models and, um...nope.

A magazine cover titled "How to Hack Your Life with ChatGPT."

I was not quite curious enough to find out how AI was going to "organize my home" to actually open this rag.

Red lights too. I've had so many drivers zip around me when I stop for a light that has just gone from yellow to red. They seem to think if no one going the other direction is in the intersection yet, they're good to go.

I'm autistic and when someone does not owe me an explanation I try to remind myself of E.B. White's great line, "I must decline, for secret reasons."

Every tradesperson should have a line item for "client asked a chatbot" on their invoices.

Right? This just reframes the conversation to be about passing, which is another way trans people are discriminated against.

The one where Indiana Jones fights the huge German dude who then gets shredded in the plane propeller. Keep the propeller bit.

They can't do anything. The US didn't sign on to the Rome Statute and we already have laws on the books stating our intention to respond with force if anyone tries to bring Americans to justice in the ICC. It's a damn shame.

I hate to break it to you but plenty of our military personnel love the idea of killing other people's children.

It's in the neighborhood of 70% of all teen pregnancies. And teens who are having sex with older men are much more likely to become pregnant than teens who are having sex with people their own age.

In the US, statutory rape laws vary by state.
