why are "brave truth tellers" always so eager to say something sexist or racist instead of something like "would a clove of garlic taste good in one of those green smoothies"

Throwing tomato soup on a painting seems like an under-reaction, to be honest

Dawned on me at some point during one of the Doordash discourse rounds that a lot of people who use it dont try to get at minimum two meals at a time when they do. Ubering your food is a profoundly inefficient thing to do, but come on, you can at least mitigate that a little.

Awesome now we can give a billionaire a billion dollars to build a box for eight games and three concerts a year. God forbid those 200 acres be used to house people.

Just came across another video by a TikTok "historian" that is entirely lifted from a couple of my publications. You'd think someone who is such a fan of my work would give me credit for the research that took YEARS OF MY LIFE, but no. I hate it here.

You can't understand what the 2000s were really like without realising that the official release Paris Hilton sextape opens with a tribute to the victims of 9/11

It's amusing the be living in the new Gilded Age and then an Italian shoots a capitalist.

The Detroit Lions being good now is really weird for someone who was born and raised in a Lions home. I'm still not sure how to react. It's like your dad told you he is going out for cigarettes and actually comes back.

So glad to see Fox News and LibsofTikTok condemning violence against healthcare CEOs. As we all know, the only acceptable calls for violence are against random gay teachers and trans people.

I’m not able to get worked up about norms about vigilantism at this time. The cops are out of control, SCOTUS is busy legalizing corruption at every opportunity, and the country just elected a criminal to president, the rule of law is out the window and you’re wishing for norms that are super gone.

People who understand the concept of social murder, either formally or instinctively, get that the UNHC CEO was drenched in blood well before he got shot.

Throwback to the time UHC denied my orchiectomy 12 hours before surgery because they lost the paperwork I sent them weeks prior.

she believes this is true because she doesn’t believe that trans people exist, making it impossible to discriminate against them

For those confused about South Korea, an “opposition party” is a political party that actively opposes the one in power.

I do not listen to him. In fact I have him blocked. I had him blocked on the old site for years. He is not published in any major newspapers I read or on news stations I watch. He exists to me solely through angry screencaps taken from web forums I am no longer on. It is time to break the cycle

The thing that always strikes me about the trans panic in sports isn't the ignorance about how HRT regimens nuke out T levels, but the naive assumption that professional cis women athletes aren't juicing Testosterone.

There’s never been a person easier to make fun of than Musk and a bunch of people on here decided “he’s a lady and he’s Trump’s wife” - the sort of thing Musk would reply to with a cry laughing emoji if it was about someone he hated - was the way to go.

It's not like they're just saying that trans women aren't women. They're not even accepting that trans people are human, derisively calling them "that."

I know hypocrisy means nothing but man does it annoy me when liberals go “that’s not genocide” about Gaza after spending a good decade saying literally any foreign government they disliked was doing a genocide.

It’s crazy that they’re doing a trans bathroom ban, when 59% of the country reflexively approves of anyone’s transition.
