The list of arguments they had included that there were no lesbian trans women, that there were no butch trans women, that if they really believed trans people were the gender they say that trans people would date other trans people, and we do & are all of those things.

I see why they did it, it was the only argument that worked because in order to disprove it you had to know that studies existed and how to understand the data, as well as the variables. All the other arguments against trans people that they had failed upon observation.

I remember when that argument started. It was well after I’d transitioned. “Women can do anything men can do” slowly got replaced with “women are incredibly fragile and need protecting from men at all times” they gave up on the radical feminism bit in order to completely focus on the trans exclusion

It’s so weird that not so long ago, like, less than 20 years, the progressive feminist position was gender de-segregation in sport and other male dominated spaces. Then the terfs came along and convinced the mainstream that the most progressive feminist position is that women are weak and feeble.

I just saw a TikTok I could have sworn was AI but for the fact it was from the official Kier Starmer account, with the caption “how life feels after 2 and a half digestives”

Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most impressive gaming experiences of my lifetime. I’m currently replaying the first one and I just can’t stop thinking about it, I think it was the fist video game I played where it made me weep, soon as I’m done with this I’ll replay RDR2

It’s so so good. The only games that I felt had similar levels of story were Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last of Us 2, all three broke me in different ways. The end of God Of War pulled the rug from under me, RDR2 made me cry, and TLOU2 just hit me like a gut punch

I think about this take more often than I'd like to.

One of the funniest things to come out of this are the brits who won’t leave Dubai even as it’s being bombed. One influencer adjacent guy went on a live stream on his balcony and said he’d rather be killed by Iran than go back to Wigan

Man Says ‘Fuck It,’ Eats Lunch At 10:58 A.M. CHICAGO—Reasoning that he’s a grown adult who can eat food whenever he damn well pleases, local man Kyle Dunedin, 30, reportedly decided at 10:58 a.m. Wednesday that, fuck it, he was ready for lunch. ...

Haha, almost literally this: theonion.com/man-says-fuc...

Over on TikTok I caught someone arguing with a reform bot, and told them, they asked why I thought it was a bot and I said “they used the correct “you’re” and said “losing” instead of “loosing” the genAI isn’t good enough to get the same mistakes as your average Reform Voter”

Please help Catherine Sullivan fight aggressive stage 4 bowel cancer Help Catherine fund treatment for aggressive stage 4 bowel cancer so she can gain more precious time with her husband and sons.

Please would you share this if you can. Catherine is married to Mat’s cousin, Marcus. They live in NZ, so we can’t help in person. I know I have quite a few followers from NZ, and if it’s anything like Wales, some of you may know Catherine. Thank you x

I lived a few streets down from the site where the Philadelphia Police Department firebombed an entire city block in 1985, and when I mention it in lecture most of my students seem absolutely incredulous

Family Guy early series dated quickly and then the later ones went down hill fast, but American Dad has stayed reasonably consistent for the best part of 20 years

“I mean, we can put a man on the moon but I can’t look up the lyrics to cotton eye joe with 8 porns running in the background”

Lines like this is why American Dad is one of my comfort shows

Whenever you see those guys use the word “politics” you need to remember the silent “the consequences of my” that precedes it.

Whenever there’s a big trend on TikTok, I can’t wait until three weeks after it dies down when everyone on Instagram will start to see it.

A reddit thread: u/
Dudes of Reddit, what is the hardest thing to explain to women?

First response:
quantum mechanics

Someone replies
Women are smarter than you are.

Op says:
that doesn't make quantum mechanics any easier for me to explain

I think Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is incredibly underrated. Not least for just killing off Shia LaBeouf off screen.

The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of “Swamp Thing”, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjana’s 100th birthday. Let’s raise a glass to one of comics’ originals.

Shia LaBoeuf. What a cunt. Every time I don’t think he could be more of a cunt, he’s more of a cunt. Let’s hope his kid’s less of a cunt.
