Staggering burned and blinded through the bombardment of images that perfectly encapsulate the collapse of American capitalism that the parking lot of a derelict Bed Bath & Beyond as boneyard for unsold cybertrucks barely registers.

Shall I be plain? I wish the bastards dead

Operation Paperclip would like a word.

okay last one, trans pride flag in the style of the astros tequila sunrise uniforms lol

"why dont you just compromise and meet in the middle with the bigots?" people ask this question as if trans people are leading the action here. we aren't. at all. the bigots wont stop until we're dead or gone so we can't stop until we're liberated enough they can't kill or hide us so easily.

i can do that

The way to understand this is Donald Trump targeted a single teenager in Gavin Newsom's state and Gavin Newsom's response was to agree with Trump that this child's existence was an unfortunate inconvenience to his own ability to come in fourth in the 2028 Iowa caucus

Okay it’s true that any attack on porn is an attack on LGBTQ+ people and sex ed but also porn is good and should not be attacked.

I'd just like to applaud all the people who signed the Harper's letter, who took the side of the fascists who wanted to create this reality, and argued that the people who didn't want to give those fascists a stage and a microphone were creating a chilling effect on free exchange of ideas.

This is the last thing Cardinal Bob saw before he went into the conclave and they made him pope lol

Finally, a Pope who has seen Chad Qualls pitch in relief -

in the conned clave. straight up "choosing it". and by "it", haha. well. let's justr say. My pontiff.

10/10, no notes.

Trans men do not exist to play out your shock-a-TERF fantasy.

A performance for the ages

The reason there's no working class representation in publishing is because publishing and writing currently pay so badly only people who are already financially stable can afford to do it. The problem is always, always money.

Ugly cretin Yarvin really exposing the plan here. The right doesn’t want institutions like Harvard and Hollywood destroyed. They want them to be forced to use their cultural power to present their shitty unpopular ideas as if they were good and popular www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

I hope everyone working on LLMs has reckoned with their role in building a technology that, so far, has offered little to no benefit to humanity — while causing real harm by degrading art, undermining labor in creative industries, and straight up automating political propaganda

Lots of new players put most of their points into sperm vitality, but experts will tell you that you want a sperm dexterity build if you're going to take it serious. While some see it as a joke, a really fun playstyle is sperm faith with some sperm strength as needed.

This is an extreme case obviously, but a version of this has happened to the entire country.

I feel like if you have to say “don’t worry the product we’re making money off won’t reflect its creators craven dark heart” you’re never seeing heaven.

Even in a world where the Dems run the table in the midterms, there are so many choke points in the judiciary and so few candidates willing to support radical change that it’s entirely possible you get yet another placeholder few years before another descent with very few positive fixes.

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

riley with a damn good quick explainer. our whole pre-transition lives are a lite conversion therapy (at the very least; some folks get it worse) & it takes outrageous luck, fortitude, & will to not just survive it, but come out & stay out. 🧵

Nothing but love to my Giant Bomb friends. Nothing but love to everyone at Polygon. Everyone deserves better than whatever the fuck is going on right now.

Revenge of the Sith is kind of funny in a meta sense now because grown adults look at focus group tested slop and are like “this shit is too political, unlike the movies of my childhood where Darth Vader choked his wife then looked at the camera and directly quoted George W. Bush.”

A central problem with this analysis is that the last few months have shown that those of us who have opposed Trump reflexively and performatively have also been much more correct about what he would do if unleashed than those who keep warning to take a more measured approach

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

A 50% cut to science funding (which is close to what Trump is proposing for NIH) would result in huge negative long-term economic outcomes: *7.6% cut in GDP *8.6% cut in federal revenues *equivalents of making the average American $10,000 poorer

"The shuttering of USAID, in other words, ranks with the absolute worst atrocities in the history of the world."

Every once in a while I think man, we were so close to never having to think about that motherfucker again, and then people said nah, let’s just ruin our lives instead

Lance McCullers Jr., who last pitched for the Astros in the 2022 World Series, will make his long-awaited return this Sunday against the Chicago White Sox. www.chron.com/sports/astro...

People were responding too well. It's time to go back to what we know works: people who have been in office since 1993 saying "listen up, Mr. Trump's economy is quite frankly fucking disappointing" while holding up an egg.
