even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

i haven't played outer worlds 2 but i've been told there's a whole hyper-nerd math faction in the game including a whole radio station of bangers like this.

WHO MADE THIS GAME. HOW DID THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I've taken a position on the advisory board of @genspect. As always, I am willing to have conversations with @wpath's leadership. I am ready to listen to your evidence, reasons, and arguments. I invite you, well in advance, to join me onstage at the next @genspect conference.

Why do totally unqualified people think actual experts should have to engage with them? I'm going to write to CERN and demand a meeting with tea and biscuits to discuss my theory about the kermit particle (yaaaaay!)

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin.

Here's the video of it running.

I’m not a Trekkie but I’ve done enough basic research into the Star Trek fandom to know women basically invented it, and are why the show even continued to exist. This kind of writing is part of institutional sexism that denies women’s accomplishments and role in history and it infuriates me

Zohran Mamdani's promises of free busses might sound great, but I live in Albuquerque NM where city busses have been free for five years and I'm here to tell you the truth. This is what every bus in my city looks like now. Think carefully about your choice this November.

Staying in a hotel, have put sky news on a couple of times and all they've talked about is this migrant criminal and that migrant criminal. Glad the UK is doing so well no other crimes are happening and this is the most important thing 🤪

There are a few people you will make angry if you're doing it right and Piers Morgan is up there near the top.

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck.

When you refuse to touch Microsoft’s stuff because of its whole “we love aiding a genocide” thing you really get a feel for how much of the gaming industry it’s gotten its grubby little mitts on.

I've spoken to eye witnesses about this. Burke's sister was harassing individuals in other parts of the crowd and even made children cry. The crowd supporting Catherine Connolly was incredibly calm. Gardaí refused to take complaints (at least the ones I've heard about)

I know some cis people probably think we never stop banging on but if you'd paid more attention to the horrifically vile stuff journalists have been saying in newspapers about trans people for the past 10 years, you'd probably be less shocked they're writing about mass deportations today.

This is one of the things I am so angry at the media about, the way that ordinary journalists went along with their absolutely frothing at the mouth colleagues and never thought to go "Uhhh, your friends are trying to change the law, does that not make YOU the activists?"

12 operations?
13
A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible
16
program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named
17|
Professor
I. I did that through a mutual friend
18
of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a
20
submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the
21
Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Compare the wall to wall coverage of the supreme court decision and the initial EHRC guidance and the lack of such stories today. The BBC report doesn't even mention the fact the guidance was withdrawn

As with most transphobic stories, the rush is to get it into print, and never retract it

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7
