How Trump-Era Politics Are Reshaping Fashion: From Barbiecore to Workwear In this reported op-ed, writer Kelsey Stiegman connects the rise of MAGA politics to a darker fashion shift — where self-expression gives way to self-preservation.

Under the Trump administration, fashion is losing its playfulness and taking cues from authoritarian aesthetics and conservatism.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

If anything, the dev not taking any shit makes me want this more.

As no alt-text, these three images are of complaints from customers on Steam regarding the game No More Robots. Description of each with text in comments.

Johnny Cash released his cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" in 2002, shortly before he died - it was an enormous hit, it's hilarious that some guy writing for the Wall Street Journal is just now realizing he was cool

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

This is HUGE! Please share so people with ME/CFS can learn about this incredible medical breakthrough!!

It not only helps develop a diagnostic test, but also points to immune and inflammatory changes to aid future treatments. After 80+ years of no treatment, there’s some hope, finally!!

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

it's that time of year, it's time to get your flu and covid booster shot unless you're from massachusetts then it's time for your flu and covid borcester shot

Atsu climbs up a bird shit smeared cliff face in Ghost of Yotei

I need to talk to whoever at @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social decided that, rather than use the yellow paint gamers always complain about, they instead highlight climbable surfaces with bird shit, and if this was a calculated decision.

An MS Paint doodle of Sam Rutherford wearing a white t-shirt that reads, "I hate being sexy but I'm Filipino I can't help it." while smiling.

Season six of #StarTrekLowerDecks and Sam's in this shirt inexplicably

I love this because everything she does over there will immediately be leaked for all of our collective entertainment

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist): the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much. you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

The person who punched Richard Spencer and instantly made him a meme never got caught. Just threw one punch and skipped off into immortality. I think about that a lot.

Just... bleh. Gonna toss this out here and go take a nap.

So Pete Hegseth is getting gender affirming care while kicking highly qualified, highly trained trans service members out of our military? Got it.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

Breaking news: the "AI first" company is relying on the hard work of real human artists at Titmouse to give them high quality animation instead of using Generative AI because "AI first" is a meaningless slogan designed solely to get likes on LinkedIn.

Friends, some advice if you plan on spending time outside in an animal costume, sharing for no particular reason:

-You will sweat a lot more than you think. Have water/snacks

-You cannot move well (the Left Shark guy is a trained experienced professional dancer). Don’t run or you’ll trip and fall.

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen
