Partner of the Founders Fund (venture capital) shocked to learn that % of estimated 30 year olds who are both married and homeowners has plummeted since the 1960's 55% to below 15% in 2025

I can't believe trans kids and immigrants did this

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

Collective Shout over a picture of Lara Croft: "Even when women are depicted as kicking arse, they have to be 'hot' doing it. Attention is drawn to her sexual characteristics, with tight clothing emphasizing large, surgically enhanced breasts. It is almost assumed that boys wouldn't want to play games without sexy women in them. We don't really see strong women depicted without being sexualised first" Melinda Tankard Reist

Women’s Forum Australia rejects the idea that gender trumps biology and maintains that the reality of biological sex must be preserved in law and policy so as to protect the rights and safety of women and girls. By corroding biological sex-based protections, it is women and girls who predominantly lose out, as biological sex is the basis of most discrimination against females, as well as the reason for their vulnerability to physical and sexual violence from males. Women predominantly suffer discrimination and are particularly vulnerable because they have female bodies, not because they identify as female. Particular harms stemming from efforts to erase sex include the corrosion of our language and the erasure of women, the self-identification of males into female-only sports, spaces and services, the medical transitioning of children, and the abuse and silencing of those who speak out on these issues. Women’s Forum Australia is deeply concerned about the gross overrepresentation of girls presenting at gender clinics and the response which is to “affirm” their gender dysphoria, rather than treat the underlying symptoms, which often include complex social and mental health issues.

I hope the "anti-woke" culture warriors realize that all their time spent going after LGBTQ+ representation in gaming lead here. Collective Shout is lead by a right wing transphobic bigot who is pretending to protect women by censoring video games.

TERFS are bigoted anti-free speech fascists

Ghislaine Maxwell barred from service dog training at cushy prison camp “We do not allow anyone whose crime involves abuse towards minors or animals — including any crime of a sexual nature,” the CEO of Canine Companions said.

I think the bigger question should be asked as to why there's such a thing as "rich people prison" at all.

Like it's great that one of the most notorious living pedophiles doesn't get puppy access but aren't people being locked up for speaking Spanish right now

'Laboratory of Cruelty': MSF Calls for Immediate Dismantling of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation | Common Dreams "In MSF's nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians."

Doctors Without Borders are saying in the totality of their organization they've never seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians as they are seeing in Gaza right now.

The GHF isn't saving lives, it's torturing people.

Oh, Spec Ops: The Line is way up there, especially in the back half of the game.

God, we live in the shittiest cyperpunk timeline

There are pink and blue bands in the morning sky. And clouds!

Good morning, folks. The sky says trans rights are human rights.

Also, shout out to Sam Deats' excellent work. Go watch Castlevania Nocturne, y'all! It owns bones!

To back up my claims here's a damn fine video essay that's much funnier and entertaining than I can be in a skeet

Vagrant Story is a freakin gem. Especially it's cutscene and art direction. It's also wild that it technically has a subtitle: "The Phantom Pain".

Oh hell yeah

The thing about PBS is that LeVar Burton was to me what MrBeast is to kids today.

I've never been so baffled by dudes who constantly piss and moan about why women won't fuck them while refusing to washing their genetals because it's gay". Fucking lunacy.

My hottest take about getting laid-as-politicsis it's downstream from housing policy. Nobody wants to have sex where they live with their parents, or have 1k roommates. We must increase the supply of cheap little apartments where people can bang 🙏

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Human rights aren't negotiable. That's why.

So are the Pete Buttigieg and Gavin Newsom democrats ready to admit that pre-maturely attacking trans people or being tougher on immigration or deep throating capitalism is not only not necessary to win elections but maybe the reason the corporate wing of the party is in the toilet?

They have. Episode 478 "World Tree Center" and episode 694 "Tulkun King"

It's wild to me that Chapo Trap House, as a whole, fucking LOVE the Avatar movies and have a deeply leftist read of them

One Piece author is now officially the highest selling Japanese author in history

One Piece is not only a Shonen hit but one of anime's top LGBTQ+ champions

One piece is close to surpassing JK Rowling as the highest selling author in history (8th to 7th position)

One Piece is about to surpass JK Rowling's Harry Potter as one of the highest selling works of fiction of all time.

A pro-LGBTQ+ anime dethroning the transphobic monster.

We've never been so back!

Donald Trump is a pedophile

By the way every western country could do this at any point but they choose not too

Hell yeah! That's my girl. Rune Knight/Mystic Knight is such a underrepresented Job in FF, but two of the best characters occupy the space: Celes and Agrias motherfuckin Oaks.

I need to see historical numbers on this, because my suspicion is that this has been pulled negative by the years-long campaign of relentless, unanswered attacks on our rights.

Also, "morally wrong". Fuck off. Not minding your own business is morally wrong.

‘Man-made’ mass starvation in Gaza, WHO chief says Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus issues warning, as more than 100 aid groups urge Israel to ease blockade

Nick Fuentes on CNN

People wasted so much time trying to pretend that students protesting genocide were the worst anti-Semites on the planet while actual neo-nazis rose to the mainstream
