they are segregationists, it has been obvious from the jump, and i think that pundits who dismissed the charge as hyperbolic should explain why they couldn’t see the fact pattern

Your child is more likely to die from measles than get beat by one of their trans peers in an athletic competition, and I wish our government's actions would reflect that.

Wait. Just found out that the CEO of Gumroad now works at DOGE? And that he saved up loads of money 'cause he fired everyone and replaced them with AI? I'm leaving the platform as soon as I get my money. Jesus christ. tedium.co/2025/04/06/g...

If someone else is happy, it’s okay If someone else is happy, it’s okay You don’t need to feelings dump, You don’t need to bring up Trump If someone else is happy, it’s okay

Something I see a lot in the Maker movement is men underestimating how difficult fabric and sewing is (especially with respect to cosplay):

We live in an age of resume and LI padding, but this insane story from @Krebs on Security is a reminder that lying about credentials as an cyber expert witness can have huge implications on all cases you've worked and an opposing legal team will eventually check.

DO NOT MISTAKE EARNESTNESS FOR A THING TO BE AFRAID OF. “Cringe” or s too often simply just the word used to mask the discomfort that comes with being vulnerable! It’s okay to feel vulnerable about being earnest about important issues in the world!

I genuinely don't understand how anyone can look at the current moment and think "Abolish ICE" was anything but completely correct. ICE cannot and should not exist. Period.

For those who don't know much about electronics manufacturing the process of setting up even a highly automated line (fewer workers to train) takes years. First you have to figure out the process flow and the machinery needed and get that ordered; it'll be awhile before they show up.

Andrew Chen, co-founder of one of my favorite denim brands, 3sixteen, breaks down how the tariffs affect his company IG 3sixteen

“Sewing your own clothes to avoid tariffs” seems like a good idea until you realize it’s very expensive, takes a ton of time, and just about every component — from fabric and thread to sewing machines — are made abroad. I do think this is a great time to learn how to mend clothes, though!

YOU GUYS.

The kidney stone has been very painful today. :-( The good news is that it's almost out of me. I'm exhausted but it's all part of the process. I'm really hoping it passes soon. If not then surgery on the 11th. I appreciate all the well wishes. Y'all are amazing.

hi, cis folks! so, when they release the US cass review that makes the cass review look like a trans liberation manifesto, i think you should • ask who’s making the case against transition • answer whether they have trans people’s best interest at heart • listen to actual trans people instead 🧵

What'd Tim do?
