the moon is also trans and has given us her blessing

"transition won't solve all your problems" yeah and neither will changing out that faucet that keeps leaking, but they will both solve the specific problems they are solutions to

How it started / how it's going

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

The correct take on this is "I don't need the government's VALIDATION." I changed my sex when I changed my name on all my IDs, and I chose the "F" marker over the "X" because the latter conferred only a danger to myself. No one's looking to my driver's license to learn my pronouns.

Oh fuck oh shit

The "antiwoke" guys are calling Marathon a "genderqueer shooter" and I don't think they understand how cool that sounds.

just cannot emphasize enough here that the whole "actually inhaled steroids cure measles" illustrates how none of the antivax stuff is actually about big pharma, it's about virtue signaling to other narcissists about how much cleverer than doctors they are

One President wildly exceeded his authority by forgiving some student loans; a different President barely scratched the surface of his authority by disappearing anyone he pleases without trial to a foreign gulag. Constitutional law is a serious intellectual enterprise.

I thought I had a joke about Socrates, but it turns out no one actually knows what a joke is.

Reskeet with an image of your favorite James Bond (wrong answers only)

Another day, another needing to say "The young men who buy into Andrew Tate's bullshit are not victims but perpetrators of the rape culture he sells them". I think there's an argument to be made that they are often victims of some kind of fraud/con artistry/grift. But not victims of the misogyny.

Bad hand writing. No, really. In a college a friend attempting to decipher my cramped scribbling on a whiteboard interpreted "not an orange" as "Notorhuye" and we got a whole pantheon and campaign he GMed out of that.

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

More substantively, I'd challenge Bruenig to flip the equation around. Natalists have somehow managed to alienate everyone outside their clique despite having the easiest layup (children are good). Maybe cause for reflection!

It's amazing that 4 congressional Dems voted to make it *illegal for married women to vote*, and the rest of the Dems didn't respond "ok yeah you are not allowed to call yourself a Democrat anymore, we're not going to help fundraise for you, just go fuck yourself"

no lies detected. #civilrights

Ye… ha ha ha… ye!

Robert Eggers has revealed that the dialogue in his upcoming film #Werwulf will be entirely in Middle English: « It’s been said, and taken as official, that the movie is in Old English. But obviously, because of the 13th-century setting, it’s Middle English. I just want to be clear on that. »

Jokerization count meter just exploded.

Democrats keep fucking dying in office, I don't care about your Political Comfort Character

Like, the null hypothesis is just that every person is a human, first and foremost. At a later point, some of our bodies will auto-androgenate, others will auto-estrogenate, right? We call that puberty, right? We know what that looks like. You can extrapolate what a trans puberty should look like.

I actually encountered Goblin With a Fat Ass *before* Kill Six Billion Demons and I'm still not over discovering they were done by the same guy.

kind of like watching your car go up in flames on the side of the highway. undeniably mesmerizing, but also it's your car

pokemon? a metroidtameia. puyo puyo? that's a metroidchania. code vein? a metroidveinia. lesbianism? just a metroiddameia

My uncle's barbeque grill is overturned; the 4th of July cannot hold; 4th of Shit is loosed upon the world.

I'm not a fan of spreading misinformation on the internet, so here's a little blog post to share far and wide about why this statement is a lie. Maybe it can break through SEO containment so folks now searching for information on this can find that out easier. literalgrill.com/Other%20Post...

ok girls we’re gatekeeping this one. let’s get the big gate ready

My experience with Mastodon was that the downsides to federation are immediate and real, while the advantages are entirely hypothetical.

can i offer you a devastating takedown of mastodon in this trying time

One of the sources of rot running through our political, intellectual, and media institutions is the total triumph of the idea that democracy means outsourcing your morality and point of view to a fuzzily incoherent view of what's popular. Total rejection of the idea of morality as personal virtue.

"Who would rather be Men in a destroyed world than People in a free one" is going to haunt me.

Gonna take this opportunity to say that I can personally deliver no script for as little as 7 million, and I know some other writers who can do it for as little as five million.

i keep thinking about this

Personally, I’m a variant of 3: Estrogen undoes an evil wizard’s curse.

What a summary of the anti-trans movement: March 23rd: female fencer competes in mixed-gender event, beating several male competitors, finishing 8th March 30th: same fencer films herself telling trans competitor “I am refusing to fence you, because I am a woman and you are a man,” collects $5000

I understand and respect why y'all left Twitter, but I cannot give this up:

If I celebrate Japan for embracing defeat after two nukes, it would be hypocritical of me not to wish this upon the United States (and seek this outcome) if we cannot repair the damage we have done to ourselves.

Our biggest problem as a society is we've decided wealth is a proxy for intelligence -- when in reality, an overabundance of money causes your brain to cease functioning
