"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Oh hey I wonder why that “you don’t have to follow an illegal order” video got them so hot and bothered?

Adore the hell out of these books. Do the thing!

It’s the curse of Cassandra all over again.

Two scales illustrating the social environment composed by men. The first, prefaced with "I've learned that a lot of guys visualize our social environment like this" shows over 95% of the line to depict "good men", and a small bit to illustrate "crazed evil men". The second line, prefaced with "But it's actually closer to this", is labeled as follows: at the 1/8 mark, "heroic men who will intervene" another eighth "well-meaning men who underestimate the issue", the next line, at about halfway, reads "men who think certain women deserve it (but aren't active predators)" , the line after that, "men who passively enjoy/consume/encourage predation", at the 3/4 mark, "textbook predators we're all afraid of" and a final mark nearly at the extreme end of the scale, labeled "monsters so cruel we can't even fathom them".

I don't recall where I found this, but I'd say this looks about right.

That’s uncanny. I don’t know if it is, but it LOOKS like AI.

That’s rough. 4 babies in 4 years is hard on anybody, and a teenager is still growing. I bet she had dental/osteoporosis issues from it. Pregnancies like that strip the calcium right out of your bones.

Tired and I wanna go home. @sense0sensi... • 1h You would pee according to your biological sex. That's the law here. jenny tightpants @jtp.bsky.social • 1h if i accuse you of breaking that law in the bathroom how do you prove otherwise? Tired and I wanna go home. @sense0sensibility.bsky.social Show you my penis. But it wouldn't happen because I am obviously a man. Nov 22, 2025 at 8:15 AM

I just want to say this right now, if a person demands to see my or anyone else's genitals in the bathroom i'm putting their face in the nearest toilet and flushing

The reason people freak out and run from Trump’s racist goon squad is they are literally disappearing people. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

it's weird to live in a world where a new 'worst thing you've ever imagined' happens at least a few times a month and it's easy to let it all run together and just sort of wash over you and go totally numb to all of it so you don't freak out because you still have to do laundry and go to work.

I've submitted MY claim! Fellow authors, have you submitted YOURS?!

FINISH THEM

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

there was an amazing article about exactly this somewhere

in the old days where everyone was paid well and was unionized, this chart was reversed, living expenses were cheap but luxuries like TVs and whatnot were what you had to save up for. You could live a comfortable life if you were frugal

Typically, minors need to either already be emancipated (a separate legal process), or have their guardian’s consent to get married. It is the second case that I am talking about.

The “but” was more of a “but it gets worse!”

Ah! The “Shirley exception”! It would make sense, but laws are frequently illogical. It depends upon the state. Some states have “emancipation by marriage”, but others do not. It’s really shocking when you look at the list.

If you want to open the discussion to other countries, this will turn grim very quickly. Most places on earth are not as enlightened as Scotland.

Emancipation is yet another legal hurdle that you have to clear if you are underage. We shouldn’t let adults marry minors. Full stop. I grew up in Mississippi. Go take a look at what the law is in Mississippi right now, in 2025. You won’t like what you find.

Child Marriage or Statutory Rape? A Comparison of Law and Practice Across the United States In many U.S. states, children can legally marry at an earlier age than they can legally consent to sex, leading to situations in which sex between spouses may be a criminal act. Some states exempt sex...

No, they are correct. Most states have an exception for statutory rape if the victim is married to the perpetrator:

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

The Department of Homeland Security has diverted thousands of federal agents from their normal duties to focus on arresting undocumented immigrants, undermining a wide range of law enforcement operations in response to mounting pressure from President Trump, a New York Times investigation has found. Homeland security agents investigating sexual crimes against children, for instance, have been redeployed to the immigrant crackdown for weeks at a time, hampering their pursuit of child predators.

huh

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Meanwhile the leading lights of civic society are still lamenting the dreaded Woke Times

I don’t care how mature you are for your age. If you can’t walk away, that is not a partnership; that is ownership. That is why these men pursue girls under 18. It is so much harder to fight for yourself if you need someone else to support you before you can begin.

Another fun tidbit is that most domestic violence shelters can’t take minors!

Most Minors Who Are Married Can't File for Divorce — Even if They Want To The final installment of Wedlocked, our series about child marriage in the U.S., explores divorce.

Child marriage is heinous, but one thing I never see brought up in those discussions is that if you are under 18, you cannot file for divorce. If you are under 18 and married to an adult, they are your legal guardian and make decisions for you. That is not a partnership.
