every tranny suffers worse than jesus christ im not even joking

The unfortunate reality is that the fail condition of left wing movements happens upon running into a situation where biases overrule principles Minority rights are an inevitable consequence of everything the left builds on but biases against minorities get strong enough to attack those foundations

It is so 2025 that a film with a trans storyline that the trans community fucking despises wins some of the most prestigious film awards in the world and the cisgender winners don’t even mention what’s happening to the trans community in the very country they’re accepting the awards in

This is also why I think it is a mistake for universities and corporations to simply re-brand DEI policies. They need to defend the underlying principles (integration is good, diversity makes us better) rather than trying to outrun a fascist assault that will be trained on the re-brand

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

As part of El's ongoing project, she needed to cover Gaiman. By the time she reached him, we see him in a different light. This is long, detailed, and shines its own light on the writer and the work. If you like criticism and can bear to read on the topic, this feels both essential and definitive.

To state the obvious as has been observed my countless people on numerous occasions, Dems speaking about red areas 10 percent as harshly as Republicans speaking about blue areas is treated as a massive scandal.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

funny, I thought he'd look more Japanese

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

Superhero comics are like: "Puncher is the strongest character ever. He once punched the moon. But God Man is literal God. He once punched reality. Although Unreal Guy lives beyond reality. He once punched the comic he was in. Although, Infinity Woman once punched the multiverse. Then again, Bob..."

This really bares the intentions of people that harbour abiding fascinations with third-sexing hijra, Thai trans women, and other transfeminised subjects the world over. They want to engineer a nice historical precedent to deny transition, wokely

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

This is so goddamn funny

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

After months of research and painstakingly connecting the threads of transmisogyny theory, queer activism, and field-wide epistemic injustice, I would like to present "The Third Sex": my treatise on a third-world transfeminism. Read: tinyurl.com/59kzm98k

This is what eliminationism looks like. The project to remove a given group, physically and symbolically, from public life. To nullify them from the language and public record. To efface their public and institutional legibility. The violence begins on day one. (1/2)

Bookmarking this for the next time someone tells me trans activism in the US is too confrontational

Maybe it’s time for historians to start offering our equally smart takes on computer engineering. “Computers run on codes, like secret phrases and passwords. Morse code is a popular kind of …”

Of course this poorly aging shitshow of a human is saying democracy is done. It's his fucking goal!! Why is the NYT normalizing this?!

I kind of wish I hadn’t already cancelled my subscription so that I could do it now.

every liberal's goal is to become a corporation. freed of responsibility. freed of the flesh every conservative's goal is to become a state, for the same reasons we have bodies. we cannot escape them. they pretend they do not. they pretend that they can

I'm tired of making this point subtly, but people implicitly treat trannies like we're worthless sterile mules. It's the basis of our dehumanization, our hypersexualization, and the logic rationalizing all violence against us acceptable. Infertility does not 'privilege' women. It brands us.

I wonder if Blinken ever loses sleep thinking about how unpleasant the eternity in Hell that awaits him will be

He is, of course, expressing justification for continued ethnic cleansing rather than admitting a policy failure.

Having the discussion without stating how much the city is giving to the LAPD completely undermines the actual source of the anger by trying to bury it with semantics. When you say “actually they got like 20-30 million in the end” when the LAPD got 2.4 BILLION, you sound so stupid to me.
