Two candidates tried to weasel their way out of answers to questions they didn't like; one had the confidence to full-send every answer. Two weak leaders and one strong one.

Quakertown parents, groups demand release of students in police clash Civil rights groups and parents gathered in front of the Quakertown Police Department Saturday demanding answers for the violent confrontation Friday.

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.

They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

Oh boy, as a trans person, if this doesn't hit home right now

A store with a sign that says “ADULT NOVELTIES - BJORK ALBUMS - MAGIC POKEMON YUGIOH - AIRSOFT GUNS”

"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

They can’t figure out how to spend the extra $500 billion they gave themselves for the military, but cut our healthcare and food assistance because they said they couldn’t afford it.

i decided to open for a single fullbody like these on my ko-fi (pls be a bit patient with me with work for a bit, apologies) 🧡

PSA for Discord's new age verification!

If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it.

Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+

It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

if you fully reduce video games from art to dopamine hits, and if you jettison aesthetics other than violence, war, guns, and advertising, it seems plausible you'd fail to compete vs the dopamine hit that is orgasm and the life-affirming aesthetics of human connection, the sensual, and the erotic.

so, this is just delightful to me. if Discord never asks me for ID, it'll be because it estimated my age from, I *assume*, that one day my beloveds and I compared all our recent surgeries (hysterectomy, shattered pelvis, gallbladder removal)

Serious question: Shouldn't the judge…also be expected to know this?

getting really sick of my friends telling me the cursed blade is warping my mind. it's LITERALLY fine. i can stop fucking using it whenever i want. i think they're just jealous. like they know it'd corrupt them but i'm clearly stronger than its influence. in fact, i'm stronger than all of them...

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Now that I've spent some more time watching other folks play Mewgenics it may not be that Mewgenics is easy but that I might just be stupid good at topdown tile based turn based RPGs which like, makes sense given the games I play

To Mike's sage words I'll add what's increasingly clear:

Many suits also believe that an experience where anything you ask for magically appears on a screen is a new kind of game. But that's a completely different (and inverted) mode of entertainment, with another audience of unknown size.

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional.

Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

An advertisement for some kind of metallic ring thing. It is unclear where it is meant to be worn but advertises that it "boosts desire, restores morning wood, melts man boobs, and burns beer belly." I'm skeptical of it's claims of being featured in Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Vanity Fair but what do I know, I don't read those.

Today in "weird shit Youtube tries to sell me" here's a product trying to sell me on morning wood as a thing I should want and make purchases for.

Ad industry really is in for a crash sometime soon if this is the wacky shit getting through on a major website.

Is thia that Date Everything game ai keep hearing about
