I know this is typical western feminism of 'they were free because they looked like us!' (usually in regard to Iran) but also funny that the reason women could dress like this was because of Communism and the reason they now can't is because of the US funding Jihadists to overthrow the Communists

Me and 72 million other people are already living on a tightrope. The guy issuing this warning is telling people to "start saving now." Many of us are not allowed to save money. We will lose Medicaid if we have $2000 in a savings account.

Newsletter: Microsoft pulled back on over a gigawatt of planned data center capacity, suggesting that they do not think there is a growth future in generative AI. Meanwhile, SoftBank, the only company that can afford to fund OpenAI, has to take out loans to do so. www.wheresyoured.at/power-cut/

The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 looks really neat. Still waiting for the day someone copies the superior Spice Gamecube colorway. Purple is nice, but someone please give me an orange handheld. Let our gadgets be colorful again.

“If you ever wondered what you’d be doing during the 1940s, you’re doing it now.” I would still be yapping with the other Partisans about what annoying feckless cowards so many people turned out to be.

I think Democrats should hire Vietnamese, Chinese, & Korean speakers to analyze GOP media on Asian-Language news forums in 2024. More money + attention to Spanish-media as well, but I think we're also missing just how much the GOP has permeated Asian spaces.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Reminder that whenever someone says "gender ideology," they're referring to the mere existence of trans people, not an ideology. This is eliminationist garbage.

Disabled people need you writing and calling and badgering your reps. We do not need replies of "I'm in a red state, there's nothing I can do." There are reports around the country of politicians sweating pressure. One more call can help more than you know.

I honestly think everyone on the left really needs to watch this video, because it kind of explains in depth why being quieter on things like trans rights is such a gigantic mistake rn. In short trump won bc right wingers showed up, not bc anyone moved right.

Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care. The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care. This one at UVA Hospital.
