parenting is mainly about trying to sell your kids on outright lies like “eating Nerds before breakfast is a bad idea, buddy”

A derouler pour voir comment l’extreme droite cree un faux evenement mediatique et controle le narratif

I would never have thought replacing everyone at the FBI with podcasters and cigarette boat salesmen had downsides

Avant on disait "on savait pas, on suivait les ordres", maintenant ils témoignent de leurs crimes de guerre en 4k dans le journal.

So like real talk y'all, how much longer are we going to let a parasitic health insurance industry continue to actually literally kill people

today i'm bowled the fuck over at these photos Étienne-Jules Marey took of smoke in 1901

If they did this to a cisgender teen *boy* on a bus, we'd still see them as freaks.

It's only acceptable when they do it to us. For all they say we're delusional men, they would never say this to men, and certainly not to boys. They'd be arrested. They'd be branded freaks and perverts.

I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans.

What Glinner is doing is sexual harassment.

An interesting thing about Silksong is the way that it combines elements of the classic Metroid and Castlevania games. Could this be the start of a new genre?

Enluminure médiévale montrant des enfants d'âge varié

A l'heure de faire l'appel et de découvrir les prénoms de nos élèves, saviez-vous que le Moyen Âge est une période marquée par un changement complet dans la manière de nommer les gens ?

On parle de "double révolution anthroponymique", et c'est passionnant. Un fil ⬇️ #medievalists #medievalsky

a-t-il fait autre chose que des bangers

"this should calm everyone down!"

Vous remarquerez : quand le public critique une opinion droitière, c'est de la censure et de la cancel culture, mais quand l'État utilise ses financements pour faire annuler un concert d'un groupe associé à la gauche, ça n'en est pas

The thing that's so difficult in fighting pseudoscience is that its followers fundamentally don't believe in expertise.

Exceptional people? Sure. The naturally gifted? of course.

But I've talked to people face-to-face who simply don't believe people can get better at things.

The short answer: the Heritage Foundation have been paying influencers to discredit hormonal birth control for at least 7–8 years now

The NHS are forcibly detransitioning trans kids in Brighton and calling it “managed withdrawal.” Their own impact assessment acknowledges trans kids will be at increased risk of harm as a result, don’t want this, and are likely to just use DIY hormones instead

Cracks that have been put there. It's not that he's unlucky. This is policy.

A Shiba Inu wearing a communist cap in heaven. Caption: "You sure we killed thousands of landlords? I can't find any of them up here."

An eloquent image:

Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults.

I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.
