Should You Say NO to No-Nut November? No Nut November is a month where men are encouraged to stop masturbating and watching porn. But it's very different than Locktober. Less kinky, more shaming.

Locktober is coming to an end, so we take a (skeptical) look at what comes next: #NoNutNovember. It might look the same, but it's not, really. 

 

So there is a new article out about grade inflation at a certain school and people think it's funny that students told the student paper that the report was stressful and here's why I don't think it's funny

A friend of mine killed herself my senior year
It is a high pressure place

Covering this as a national ban is absolutely correct, and is the only framing that it needs to be. Its horrifying. There's no reason to think they'd stop at kids too.

I really don't know much about the Chapo Trap House folks, and don't track them that much, but this sounds consistent with what I know and my general instincts.

Any of them completed the Dirtbag Left → Right-Wing Grifter pipeline yet?

This is pretty much what I expected as part of Bari Weiss's "anti-woke" regime. She really wants to be thought of as one of the "good" queer Jews. After a certain point, she'll outlive her usefulness to the Trumpists. Just ask Milo.

Here is a comprehensive list of why people on SNAP, are on SNAP:
1. They need food assistance.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

No experience, but I have had similar ideas. For a while, I've been wanting to use Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Americans" as the basis for a campaign. (Although I may be cheating, since the video is also an inspiration.)

I'm not so sure that this is more incoherent than the babble he was spewing in 2016. He's always made Ronald Reagan sound like a model of sanity. (This is saying something.)

I would argue about the last paragraph here — quite a few religions teach violence and racism. That is in fact how Trump got here. For that matter, Christianity was one of the main supports of slavery in the U.S.

But on the rest, she's right on.

I don't trust Cameron's ability for independent thought, so I assume this means that there's a wider sense of doubt in the Xian community around him.

Dammit. I always thought we could blame that one on Australia.

"Some flight attendants, drawn to the profession because they liked taking care of people, couldn’t help but break protocol with passengers. “If they said ‘hola’ or something,” one said, “I’d say ‘hola’ back. We’re not jerks.” Another recalled taking a planeload of children and their escorts on a domestic transfer from the southern border to an airport in New York. He tried to slip snacks to the kids. “Even the chaperones were like, ‘Don’t give them any food,’” he said. “And I’m like, ‘Where is your humanity?’” (A second flight attendant said that children on a New York flight were fed by their escorts.) While flight attendants were allowed to interact with the guards, the dynamic was uncomfortable. It came down to a question of who was in charge — and which agency, ICE or the FAA, ultimately held sway. (The FAA declined to comment on this story and directed questions to ICE.)"

Note that none of these people signed up to work for ICE: They were hired by a charter company that said they'd be serving "exclusive" clients like corporate execs and entertainment stars. Instead, they're told to stand aside and not interact with terrified children.

Inside ICE Air: Flight Attendants on Deportation Planes Say Disaster Is “Only a Matter of Time” Current and former flight attendants for GlobalX, the private charter airline at the center of Trump’s immigration crackdown, expressed concern about their inability to treat passengers humanely and t...

The Flight Attendants on ICE planes are told not to speak with or feed the people being deported. This doesn't sit well with a lot of them.

Now the question: Did he jump, or was he pushed?

This is pretty much what flirting and dating is like for #ActuallyAutistic folks. Or at least me. The manifesto guy is definitely me.

Clearly heterosexual men, who were making a futile attempt to draw more women to the fandom. They didn't LIKE the explicit gay sex scenes, but they felt it was their duty as fans.

One more reason to vote Mamdani.

I could feel my brain cells screaming for mercy and spontaneously combusting with every word.

You have to love the stat of 5% of Trekkies are women, based on.... reading internet comments?

The UK must pay attention to those suggesting folks with learning disabilities or autism can access assisted dying with “special care”.

There’s no amount of guardrails to make this safe.

Look at Canada. Disabled people have MAiD “suggested” to them in lieu of treatment

I had the pleasure of forgetting that 3 and 4 existed.

But of course, the 1980s were a time when you made sequels to any movie that didn't outright bomb.

Never watched this, but I remember seeing the tape in a lot of video stores at the time and being both enticed and repulsed.

Movie poster for "Avenging Angel," a movie that embodies the apex of 1980s trash cinema. On the left, the main character is a sweet, clean-cut college student. On the right, she's in heels with fishnet stockings, and aiming a gun.

There was a sequel to it, also: Avenging Angel, in which she goes all "Death Wish" in high heels.

I FUCKING TOLD YOU ALL HOW STUPID THIS WOULD GET

No Nazis, no matter what the party.

y'all motherfuckers were real good at hiding the fact that you wanted to fight with the Nazis against Indy or with the Empire against the Rebels back when we were all playing as kids, weren't you? y'all hid it because you knew we'd fuck you up, didn't you? I gotta ask: what do you think has changed?

Yes correct. The vampire myth harkens back to the idea of blood libel - that Jews drink the blood of Christian children. You should never call a Jew a vampire even if that Jewish person is horrible.

Regular reminder that the “reptilian” people masquerading as human conspiracy theory is antisemitism and when they say reptilian they mean Jew who is a non-human that secretly controls the world.

FINALLY started watching Leverage: Redemption lately, and Timothy Hutton's misdeeds aside, I'm finding that the characters really DO work better without Nate. Always found him to be the least necessary.

On the down side, less Hardison. But glad that it's because Aldis Hodges is getting more work.

When Online Content Disappears A quarter of all webpages that existed at one point between 2013 and 2023 are no longer accessible.

Did you know that, according to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, 38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible?

Hell, we still have assholes who are complaining that we should have left Al Franken off the hook.
