“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!”

Swiping Left on MAGA The thing about a ‘no girls allowed’ treehouse is it doesn’t have any girls in it.

This is such a well-argued and thorough rebuttal to the reflexive assumption that only liberals and feminists have agency in the discourse about masculinity.

I especially like the point of how trying to pander to childish misogyny will only backfire.

Latest "masculinity influencer" leads his followers into loneliness Self-described "alpha male" Nick Adams gives young men "advice" that will alienate them even further

The "advice" offered by manfluencers couldn't be better-designed to keep young men sexless and lonely. I'd argue that is the goal. Happy men don't hand over their paychecks to "pick-up artists." They need to keep them lonely, to keep selling them the fake "solutions."

Male victimhood ideology driven by perceived status loss, not economic hardship, among Korean men Research published in Sex Roles suggests that male victimhood ideology among South Korean men is driven more by perceived socioeconomic status decline rather than objective economic hardship.

Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/

Men would rather destroy civilization than evolve.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor... @Re... • 2h ••• I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. The man I supported and helped get elected. Aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalized by the same type rhetoric being directed at me right now. This time by the President of the United States. As a woman I take threats from men seriously.

When u miscalculate that aligning yourself with men’s power will neutralize the fact that society sees your gender as an inferior class.

theconversation.com The groping of Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum was more than just a personal assault Published: November 7, 2025 12:22pm EST Adriana Marin, Coventry University Pressing chargest: Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum. EPA/Sashenka Gutierrez https://theconversation.co... ∞ Share article When Claudia Sheinbaum - Mexico's first woman president - was publicly groped during a walkabout recently, her response was striking in its restraint: "If this happens to the president, where does that leave all the young women in our country?"

You can be a woman head of state of a whole ass country and the lowliest nothing of a man will make sure you dont forget.

A lot of the people hand wringing about the crisis among young men should probably be using those hands to dismantle the things actually harming them even if it’s their entertainment.

The amount of AI used for necromancy is unsettling. There's worse use cases, like decisions over who gets to keep living, but there's something especially ominous about AI companies marketing products that essentially let people create undying simulacra of their loved ones, subscription implied.

What’s really going on with AI and jobs? Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

So these two trends—AI as smokescreen for management's ulterior motives/misplaced belief in its hype, and AI as an automation system for producing cheap knockoff art and writing (at the expense of artists and writers)—are what I think are the biggest impacts of AI on jobs so far.

How is AI *really* impacting jobs?

Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an:

-8% drop in all jobs postings
-~30% drop in art, photography, writing jobs
-22% drop in journalism jobs

Investors’ ‘dumb transhumanist ideas’ setting back neurotech progress, say experts Fascination of investors such as Elon Musk with uploading their brains to computers is hindering progress in curing disease, say scientists

Women having agency is the problem. This message brought to you by the invention of patriarchy cir 10,000 years ago.

The thing about parrots, stochastic or otherwise, is that they PARROT. bsky.app/profile/jenk...

How much of this is a societal problem quantified by OpenAI vs. created by it

The issue is not even that Musk thinks we live in a simulation, but that he thinks it’s only HE who lives in a simulation. No one else is real for him, merely NPCs.

& so, as @jenka.bsky.social says — they do not think about hungry people at all because in their imagination we do not exist.

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

I use FB to see what Oregon conservatives are saying, so FB thinks I'm a middle-aged white conservative. Over the past few weeks the algorithm has aggressively served me a non-stop barrage of straight up white nationalist and Nazi shit like this. I follow none of these accounts.

However, the more frustrating and confused the said “median” voter is, the easier it is to tailor the disinformation to their ignorance and confusions.

any policies that impede the uptake of solar impede resilience

(Almost) every injustice is perpetuated with ableist and eugenic justifications for it — and so and so (almost) any injustice cannot be solved without solving for Disability Justice

When you switch from fossil to clean you only use like 30-40% of the energy to do the same stuff, bc most energy from fossil fuels is lost as waste heat

What's I'm trying to say is that all climate action is degrowth

Hey, remind me what happened after the Roaring 20s?

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.
