The era of asymmetry and midi length in cocktail dresses has gone on too long!

Instead of wallowing in despair over Trump possibly imploding the federal government, I'm choosing to rage over the anti-IUD/birth control discourse on the bad site.

Is the creepy anti-aging biohacking billionaire who measures his (and his son's!) erections actually banging anybody?

Trump Pauses Disbursements to Program Supplying H.I.V. Treatment Worldwide Pepfar, which is estimated to have delivered lifesaving treatment as many as 25 million people in 54 countries, faces a funding delay of as long as 180 days.

This will kill so many people living with HIV who depend on PEPFAR programs to stay on their HIV treatment driving further HIV drug resistance.

Absolutely wild to me that Jimmy Carter's *grandson* giving a eulogy is nearly 50 years old. (All my grandparents were dead by the time I was 27 πŸ˜πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ)

Opinion | Chris Hayes: I Want Your Attention. I Need Your Attention. Here is How I Mastered My Own. The problem we face is existential and spiritual, not situational.

I wrote an essay about our bottomless thirst for diversion and how avoiding boredom is the engine of modern life. It’s based on the research I did for my book.

β€œIt's amazing how pollution has dropped in #Paris in 15 years. @annehidalgo.bsky.social has filled the city with bike-lanes & not only has she reduced pollution by 40% but she’s also been re-elected.”

Trading car space for green space, bike space, kid space…trading pollution for people. Good trade.

Somehow I am skeptical that a Senate-confirmed FBI director Kash Patel would willingly leave office if Democrats won the presidency in four years.

After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them

Genuinely very funny that Trump got the entire American right to adore a song about gay dudes cruising at the YMCA

Have never seen a politician alienate every single constituency with this speed. Fumbling on every down.

- cain murders his brother for no reason

some kid friendly bible stories-
- lot's daughters get their dad drunk and take turns raping him
- a levite's concubine gets gang raped and dies, the levite cuts her body up into 12 pieces
- god's angels wouldn't stop coming down from heaven and raping beautiful human women, so He drowned everybody

funny that the new metric for a social media site's success is if it produces healthy political discourse between "sides." by that measure, years of evidence suggests that twitter failed. it accelerated fracture, radicalized people into fringe politics, and became a tool for the reactionary right

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC
