I feel like Johnny Depp set a trend here and I’m never forgiving the people who cheered him on and smeared Amber Heard just because they really like Jack Sparrow.

Apartheid Clyde a petty, dangerous, incompetent man but what always amuses me is how no one likes him and he can’t even buy his way into getting people to like him. He can’t buy a good sense of humor or good looks or good reputation.

when a man "jokes" about domestic violence, the "unless... 👀" is silent but very much present

domestic and family violence is a significant part of my legal practice, which is why I feel very comfortable saying that 100% of jokes about DFV where the victim is the punchline are made by people who have either used violence against someone close to them or would do so given the chance

i was one of those autistic kids who hung out with a lot of different people but didn't really belong in the core of any friend group

only ever a hanger-on in many ways

but at some point i got tired of doing that and decided i was going to strike out and forge my own

and i've succeeded, i think

i've been thinking a lot about community lately

about building and sustaining it

about reaching out to people that i might not really have much in common with

and I think i am more comfortable doing this now because i have a core community i can call my own

built with my own efforts and love

"This unique collaboration between an animal behavior scientist & a feminist science studies scholar is an illuminating & hopeful read for anyone who is curious about how animals behave, & anyone who wants to break free from scientific approaches that perpetuate systems of oppression". Interesting!

A man at the bus stop just told off a man cycling by without a headlamp. “Don’t blame us when something happens!”, he yelled after him. In Germany there’s no way to know if the two men know each other or if they are strangers brought together in a moment of early morning civil policing.

By definition most books are not bestselling books and by definition bestselling books are read primarily by people who don't read very many books. These two definitions are crucial for understanding both the publishing industry and your potential audience.

Stephen Fry, a gay man who should know better, helped open the gates to where we are today regarding trolling and hate with his pompous “No one has the right to be offended” comment years ago. We absolutely do have the right to be offended.

a fun fact about the paramour is that he's also the first ever muslim i've been with and therefore the first ever partner to whom i didn't have to justify my "no extracurriculars during ramadan" rule because as it turns out he also adheres to the same rule lmao

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Not to flex but anyone who followed Elon's hyperloop arc saw this coming a mile away. He said he could save 90% over high speed rail by ... buying land cheaper.

That was it, he never offered any further specifics and the media utterly failed to convey how much of a charlatan he was.

Lawyer in Saudi trans student's suicide note had embassy links Eden Knight had wanted a new life in the US but was persuaded home, according to her final X post.

It's so, so late it's heartbreaking, but this is very good reporting by the BBC identifying the Harvard-trained Saudi lawyer responsible for the forced detransition and eventual death by suicide of Eden Knight.

IG reel of a young white person talking about how they have not only lived experience but also an academic understanding of an issue. ok cool.

they went on to say they had a bachelor's degree in x subject with minors in y and z subject.

i've clearly been underselling my academic credentials.

why are tech companies spending money on AI when they could instead be spending money on a phone upgrade experience that actually transfers 100% of my preferences from phone to phone

came to the very abrupt realisation that i am verging on burnout again during a fairly innocuous arguscussion with spouse and now frantically trying to figure out how to scale back life to allow myself the rest time i need but unfortunately it does not apparently work like that. joy.

Yall let democrats call students terrorists for advocating for liberation. They were doxxed, kicked out of school, and criminalized. Dems supported bills that stripped nonprofits of their tax exempt status for fighting for liberation. And now you want to ask these dumbass questions?!?! FU!
