A google trends graph comparing searches for 'transgender' versus 'gender critical'.

The BBC, (who regularly use the term 'gender critical'), claim they have to use transphobic slurs for trans people because the British public are too thick to know what the term 'transgender' means.

She is absolutely gorgeous and she is absolutely correct - killer combo

Me a full block behind my mom and sister in the French Quarter after devouring a Bloody Maria, an Abita IPA, a cup of gumbo, and so much fried fish, like so much - the catfish in particular was spectacular.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it

we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

Years ago in another life I gave a guest lecture at The Hague warning “AI weapons” could be invoked to remove accountability for war crimes from the chain of command. I said “there are no autonomous weapons, only unsupervised ones,” and sadly it seems I was cooking with that one

This is real - been thinking the same on betting, but yes GenAI is in a similar vein.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

War is massacre of people who don't know each other for the profit of people who do know each other but don't massacre each other.

It should be much more at the forefront of our minds, the extent to which the most politically activated and politically empowered segment of the authoritarian American cult calling itself "Christian" see the apocalypse as something to hasten, not prevent.

When you are in support of the war but not the way it was declared

He did that shit!!! YES 🔥

with the boots?? Oh my goodness 😍

Hundreds of years from now historians are gonna refer to this as the Hundred Years’ War

Sounds glorious - had busy dreams last night, hoping whatever knot was in my subconscious worked itself out so I can have some peace tonight.

Who has that clip of him answering who’s best dressed with “Colman Domingo”

MUUUSTAAAARRRRRRRD!!

I’m voting for the candidate who promises to imprison everyone who makes money insider trading on war.

People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

Well, here’s the thing: I’d much rather we burn down every data center and salt the earth upon which they stood than close a single library. Anybody who suggests the suicide suggester can replace books is an enemy of the people and humanity itself.

Over on the bad site, a book banner and his anti-woke musician pal are discussing screenshots of my pro-library thread below and posted a song that warns me "don't be surprised by your shot to the face."

A death threat.

Just wanted that on record.

Texas politicians react to large-scale US, Israeli attack on Iran "Why is it that this President refuses to even pretend that he cares about following the law?"

"Why is it that this President refuses to even pretend that he cares about following the law?"

Good day to remind people that this regime is ideologically opposed to competence.

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

Our baby has been alive for two deadly, illegal campaigns by the U.S. to remove a foreign leader. She’s 7 weeks old.
