Just sayin.

I disagree on it outright tasting bad. It was ok :3

A tweet from Ron Smith reads: "Dana Bash: The law says 30 days before a president fires an inspector general, he must tell Congress why? He broke the law. Lindsay Graham: He won the election. What do you expect? This makes perfect sense to me." Below the text is an image from CNN's "State of the Union" featuring Dana Bash interviewing Lindsay Graham. The CNN chyron reads: "Trump fires inspectors general from over a dozen agencies."

Winning an election doesn’t mean you get to disregard laws passed by Congress and signed into law by the former president.

Why does this not surprise me? XD

honestly the most concerning thing about the big statement from Meta is that it refers to it as "transgenderism," which reeks of some capital-i Ideology. makes my teeth itch... cool rest of the decade coming up i bet

...transgender tamari?? XD

My energy. Fuck the sun lmfao

NOMA JapanFest late October 2024. Last time me and all of my closest friends all gathered for one photo xD

man i don't know what to say anymore. i'm tired of sharing this kind of stuff but you gotta stand up for trans people or you're standing up for no one at all. i or any other trans person shouldn't have to spend our time wondering if we'll have any rights in a few years

Even some of the most educated ppl have NO idea what AI is doing to energy use & the environment. My husband works in EPA permitting of factories & energy facilities, and they are getting SO many requests for permitting data centers. We're gonna AI ourselves into rapid environmental collapse.

I was in a store yesterday and a woman collapsed and hit her head on a shelf, cutting her head open. We stopped the bleeding while the clerk called 911. When the ambulance showed up, the woman didn’t want to go to the hospital at first bc she was worried about the cost. Picture unrelated.

Infant Mortality Increases Across US Following Dobbs Decision The Dobbs decision was associated with a 7% absolute increase in overall infant mortality—equivalent to 247 excess deaths—and a 10% increase among infants with congenital anomalies, corresponding to 2...

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs.

Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this?

Since I know there’s overlap but not a ton between shoujo sky and the #LolitaFashion folks—

Takahashi Macoto, a pioneer of shoujo manga, passed away today (11/19/24) at the age of 90, after a fight with cancer.

We know him from his classic covers for GLB featuring his iconic big starry eyes.

The group of people that everyone ignores is usually the canary in the coal mine for what a rights and freedoms you will eventually lose

So actually do and say something instead of nothing you fucking cowards bc they sure as shit will see your browsing history anyway

Once upon a time, not the entire internet was 4chan. Only 4chan was 4chan, because everywhere else would kick you out for Doing 4chan in their spaces.

It sounds utopian, but it is true.

On the left is a mugshot of Briana Boston, the middle aged white woman with blonde hair and a blue shirt.

When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything".

Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something.

They just don't care about YOU.

Cartoon: my favorite SHIP dynamic: Degrammaticalization. Two figures, one big, with broad shoulders, smiling and reaching out to the other figure. The second figure is smaller and turning away. The first figure is described as follows: Noun: independent, strong, always there to provide a safe haven for suffix The second figure is described as follows: Ship: used to depend a Lot on Noun, now starting to do their own thing

I made a #linguistics meme about degrammaticalization

Please?

Post-Election 2024 Anti-Trans Risk Assessment Map The risk of severe anti-trans legislation has increased nationwide for transgender youth and adults.

1. I have released my first post-election anti-trans risk assessment map.

The national risk is high due to potential Republican national policies targeting trans people.

DC has slightly increased in risk. Wyoming and Georgia go up as well.

Luigi Mangione's manifesto published

"To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering SO probably not much info there. I do apologise for any strife or traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming."

A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy.

"United is the fourth largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, and Walmart. It has grown and grown, but has our life expectancy? No the reality is these parasites have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it. - Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g. Rosenthal, - Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty. "

I worked in customer service for Humana's Medicare. On a scale from 1 to crime against sense and decency, that's a 6. Here's one of the times I was able to do a little something to avert disaster instead of describe it: the call that made me decide I had to quit.

I swear I am suddenly getting some of the most random follows on bluesky lately...

Anyone else having this happen suddenly and maybe have insight?

A moment that will be captured in the history books.
