is this good

Anyone trying to drag us away from this, this miracle of help, is in a cult of death

Does the box have feelies? No. Does the box even exist? Of course not - it's digital. Should you wishlist it today anyway? Absolutely - you don't want to miss out on this year's one and only camp-based horror strategy game, do you? #indiegame #indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/3637630/...

I do genuinely believe that 2020 and 2024 presidential election results are best explained by voters who just look around and think "this is bad, I'm going to vote for the other party" with no further depth

You guys don’t need to try to convince me that any form of AI has merit. It doesn’t. It is boring and half-assed. I am fine getting by with human brain power. If the world nears its end and AI has one hater left, good news! I am still alive.

And arrogant. Ive never encountered a class of people so convinced that they and they alone have the answers to everything, no matter what the subject in question is--from higher education to medicine to art and literature. They might have no training or skill in it, but are convinced they know best

Ok the last line was pretty … pretty good

With parental consent, girls in Mississippi can marry at the age of 15.

If I see another article about birth rates that refuses to grapple with the way having children systematically disadvantages women I swear to god. There is no mystery. Stop pretending there is. We’ve got to do away with credulity for nonsense.

in which i write a refutation of rfk jr and dr. oz and their eugenicist ilk: your worth is not tied to your ability to produce, and all of us come into the world needing help, and leave it that way too ability is neither stable nor a moral signifier: buttondown.com/theswordandt...

I like big butts and I cannot drive you should never ask me for a ride when a car pulls up and it doesn't quite stop and it hits the front of the shop oh fuck

I made these for my more judgmental family members to suck on 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I śaw this photo of an alligator (left) and a crocodile (right) and someone commented that they hate that the snouts are reversed. The alligator's forms a "C" while the crocodile's forms an "A." This will forever be how I remember how to distinguish between them. Follow me for more useless tips.

Sorry Senator that I was unaware that you are real af.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

I do not know how anyone takes these people seriously after they universally responded to the Olympics "controversy" by saying that they believed that someone born with a female birth certificate and female sex characteristics should be classified as male because of her hormonal levels.

The reality of sex and gender is complicated. It calls for nuanced examination and thought. The public sphere is terribly bad at this. Add in the close ties between gender and people's self-image, and the issue is ripe for demagoguery. Or you could just be kind to people different from you.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

fuck the UK trans rights are human rights and trans women are amazing queens

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

McCormick was born in 1968. One reason he did not remember seeing people with autism at the time was autism did not have a diagnosis separate from schizophrenia in the DSM until 1980.

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

This, not an op ed or a protest or a social media post supporting Palestinians, is antisemitic violence.

“The United States has no federal, universal childcare – and ranks 40th on a Unicef ranking of 41 high-income countries’ childcare policies” 40th of 41. Who ranks the top 41 of anything? They had to add an extra spot to the ranking so we wouldn’t be dead last. (The rest of this story is great!)

People with autism aren't ill, you creep.

The anti-trans movement is welfare for losers.

Why would you move your manufacturing to America when next week the tariffs might half, or disappear, or double, or grow wings and fly, or be turned into a goblin, or become an emotion, or

A 10% global tariff is not a “pause”

A constitutional amendment adding proof of actual, tangible friends as a requirement of holding any federal office.
