In Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, crouch-walking against a switch will make Mario vibrate extremely rapidly while emitting a barrage of "ha", "hoo", and "hmm" soundbites.

Trans people make up 1-3% of American society depending on definitions (nonbinary, trans, etc).

That is enough to swing multiple close swing state elections.

Democrats should not nominate an anti-trans Democrat.

it's scary how powerful ai is getting every day. i just talked with a genie who was able to somehow guess what i was thinking of by asking a series of yes or no questions

Two crows are flying in front of a gray-blue sky. One says to the other "Do you think we're best friends in other universes too?" The second panel splits into a three by three grid of different reactions of "Um"s and "Well"s from the second crow, in a multiverse sort of way. The third panel is further split again by three, so there are nine by nine squares of the same two crows flying together, the only distinction between the squares is a different sky colour. In the fourth panel, the square are again divided by three so there are now 27 by 27 filling the panel. We can see now that there is a greater pattern emerging from the colours of each square, a pixelated form is starting to emerge. In the fifth panel, the many many squares of different universes is reminiscent of a painting using pointillism, which each dot of colour represent one of many thousands of realities. We can see now very clearly that the pixelated forms are the two crows, flying in front of a gray-blue sky. We return to the visual resolution as we saw in the first panel, as if no time has passed at all. The second crow responds "It doesn't seem likely".

Comic. [two people in labcoats look at body pierced with blade draped over bench] PERSON 1: We found him lying uncomformably on the lab bench. I wonder if the iron-rich intrusion in his back is related. PERSON 2 with ponytail: It could be clastic. Maybe a rift opened in his body, and the intrusive material later fell into the hole.

Republicans responded to losing the popular vote by 7% by voting in lockstep to blockade every single thing that president did and far too many Dems have responded to losing it by 1.5% by assuming that he now has The Unassailable Mandate of the People

Rep. Sarah McBride suggests Democratic Party overplayed their hand on transgender issues | Fox News Video Rep. Sarah McBride suggested on Tuesday that the Democratic Party overplayed their hand on transgender issues over the 2024 election cycle, arguing they were too far ahead public opinion.

Note to self: If Fox News immediately picks up your interview and broadcasts it as supporting their audience's anti-trans prejudices it's prbly a good sign you've just thrown your community under the bus. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

9 years ago the NBA pulled the All-Star Game out of North Carolina because of their anti-trans Bathroom Law. The choice had massive public support and was applauded

Less than a decade later and half the country has those laws, including Congress itself, and barely anyone blinks

Social support and access to gender-affirming care can be lifesaving for trans people, survey finds More than 92,300 trans and nonbinary people took the U.S. Transgender Survey, the only comprehensive study of transgender life in America.

Ninety eight percent of trans and nonbinary people who had taken hormone therapy as part of their transition said they were more satisfied with their lives afterward, according to a new survey from the National Center for Transgender Equality.

Good job being a useful pick me for Fox News, Sarah.
