Trash Rules Everything Around Me

this is also completely inseparable from TERF shit, because imagining that trans women are actually failed men and treating them as sin-eaters for men in general is a way to avoid the much more troubling conclusion that when you get right down to it, conservatism views ALL women as failed men

Katie Miller, wife of Stephen, announces that she is starting a new podcast "because for years l've seen that there isn't a place for conservative women to gather online. 0:35

Literally all they do is gather online. Then they go so insane from terminal online brainrot no one wants to be around them in real life so they gather online some more. It’s all they’re good at.

the thing with "spaces for conservative women" is that it's almost always just, like, an implicit confession that it's miserable being around conservative men lol

they want to be the singular exception to someone who treats women like garbage and are willfully blind to why that doesn't happen

A book titled "Outdoor Pigs: How to Make them Pay."

those damned outdoor pigs can't keep getting away with this

video game marketing has convinced people that if they're not constantly being hyped up by a horde of carnival barkers they're being deceived and robbed, when the reality is that almost the exact opposite of that is true

incredible how deranged people are about Silksong. there are ~2100 people who contributed $2.82 each to the slice of the HK Kickstarter for a second character, in a game that massively over-delivered on literally everything else. they're the only people who have anything to be upset about at all.

So called “progressives” who couldn’t even compromise on a REASONABLE amount of genocide, now want to tell us we can’t exterminate trans people, (an entirely different group!) either.

Meet the Losers Who Still Want to Read and Think With Their Own Brains

listen there's just not enough role models for boys. yeah i know the entirety of the entertainment industry is about power fantasies for men, but it's still not enough. boys have no choice but to turn into evil misogynists and it's society's fault

did you know that Ready Player One (the novel, admittedly the least attractive 80's nostalgia focused work in history), in all its 80's pop culture fart-huffing and constant, constant references, never brings up Michael Jackson once

"Bluesky is dying"

Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

Apophenia is a pretty basic human response. We anthropomorphize everything -- pets, fictional characters, natural phenomena. It's good to be skeptical but at the same time there's a parallel here to marketing, propaganda, or con artistry -- thinking you're completely immune makes you worse at it.

"i can't believe you don't like that politician just because you disagree over ~one single thing~" & then the one single thing is whether minorities should have human rights

a post which says "Bush wasn't taking rights away nor was he trying to cheat elections. The most harm caused under him was the Great Recession."

it must be hard to run a country when the whole population gets hit with the men in black memory erasing device every 4 years

didn’t initially realize this isn’t the tv show! it’s just a straight reread of her books as a cash grab. it’s basically a tribute album to raise money for charity; the charity is “for the good of society, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.”

fuck every one of these people.

everybody must get skrunk. all peoples, all over the world, get skrunk

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

why does genAI have even the slightest appeal to anyone who isn't a billionaire desperate for a dick-sucking machine? for example, why is it successfully parasitizing and destroying education? because it lets you put less of yourself into tasks you resent and don't believe actually matter.

why is the country so callous and indifferent to the rest of the world, when much of the responsibility for that suffering can be laid at our doorstep? because our entire societal model is based on the idea that you don't owe anyone anything, that someone asking for help is automatically suspicious

this is the part that really gets me down. the way existence in contemporary America is just a never-ending siege on any moment of time you have to actually LIVE. it connects basically every single hobby horse problem i'm always complaining about.

you could be a single issue campist on nuclear proliferation with a dogmatically anti-US position and be pretty much entirely correct

Parents convinced themselves there were pedophile serial killers waiting around each corner and corralled their kids into digital playpens filled with actual predators. Given the popularity of Qanon and Epstein trutherism this probably isn’t going away anytime soon

JD Vance and other pedophile protection party officials are holding an emergency meeting tonight over their strategy on the Epstein files.

This cover-up is a disgrace to Epstein’s victims. The American people deserve transparency and accountability.

Release the Epstein files.

I mean he can’t - Trump’s demands are basically “let Bolsonaro off scott free for attempting a coup”

this isn’t a trade negotiation, this is a demand to turn over the sovereignty of Brazil to Trump

there can’t be any other answer to that but no

we’ve made it clear that anyone who visits the US could be disappeared into a Salvadoran prison but I’m sure it’s the kids and their avocado toasts who’re to blame
