4B Movement Surges in U.S. Interest After Trump Wins Election Interest in South Korea’s 4B feminist movement, which rejects dating, marriage, sex and childbirth, has risen in the United States.

The 4B movement that started in South Korea encourages the rejection of heterosexual dating, marriage, sex and childbirth. Since Donald Trump was elected, women across the U.S. are looking to the ideas as display of self-protection.

Among my least favorite people, and those to whom I am least inclined to extend charity, is the “I’m angry and contemptuous that people are sad or upset” group.

“did you know I’m globally ranked in the top 20 at Diablo”

Hey folks. So... we were planning to launch this in the next week or two, but with the election, we're actually wondering... would people actually buy this game or will the election make people say "meh, not interested" So... informal poll here: if we launch this game would you be interested?

I bet I'm your favorite?✨💜🔥

Deep inside Internet Archive is a grinder. It has not been grinding in any meaningful way since October 10th. It is now grinding. It has three weeks of back-grinding to do, and then will keep grinding. There won't be anything obvious on the outside but this is the moment Archive came back alive

I hope you're fucking happy @emuhp.bsky.social

We‘re looking at One Piece Character Charlotte Katakuri. He has his eyes closed and is blushing gently because he‘s thinking about Donuts. Many different donuts, he‘s imagining them with different glazes, different sprinkles, in different sizes, Some are cut up so you see the filling ooze out, there are sparkles everywhere he‘s SO in his mindpalace. But his arms are crossed, and his mouth is covered by his thick shawl, cause he‘s a HARD DUDE.

First bluesky post gets to be #charlottekatakuri from #onepiece

Data brokers are selling the ability to track phones that visit abortion clinics and follow them back across state lines, all the way to their owners’ homes. All it takes for this kind of 24-hour surveillance is a credit card. Given the creepy enthusiasm with which MAGA government officials are inserting themselves into women’s health choices, these tracking tools present a pressing danger for women across the country. Again and again, MAGA politicians show that they will go to shameful lengths to control women’s bodies. According to reports by multiple news organizations last week, the data broker Babel Street allowed a private investigator to use its Locate X tool to zero in on abortion clinics and other sensitive locations. While Babel Street advertises its tool as being for government use, in practice this private investigator received a weeklong trial subscription, apparently without any vetting whatsoever.

Before the US election Sen. Wyden cites 404 Media, NOTUS, & Krebs on Security reporting showing a tool called Locate X can warrantless track phones at abortion clinics.

"These tracking tools present a pressing danger for women across the country."
