thinking again about how conservative gender ideology sucks because it's not just "there are only two genders" (which is wrong and also stupid), it's "there are only two genders AND there is one correct way to be each one." Worse!!!

As longtime readers know one of my favorite quotes is “The cemeteries are full of irreplaceable men.” The same is true of nations.

"Warfighter" is such a great word for these people's "cruel dumbass" aesthetic. It sounds like a kind of soldier a child would make up who can carry two machine guns because he's so strong.

Nintendo has cancelled the Switch 2 in response to preorder frenzy. "Your vulgar appetites betray you," said company president Furukawa, "That you are a people without grace. We will await a new era." At press time, Nintendo's headquarters in Kyoto and Redmond had vanished from the face of earth.

Sometimes I go to the co-op and buy organic produce. Other times I go to the co-op and buy a stout called "Full English Breakfast" that I know will probably be terrible despite its claims that I'll be able to taste hints of coffee, cinnamon, and maple syrup.

The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, and as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

Hey you know how people made the Tesla brand radioactively toxic and crashed its entire corporate structure? You can do that with authoritarian brutality and with neoliberal oppression and exploitation. You chase these motherfuckers from society until all that’s left is something real and better.

Keep an eye on this. New York has a bill pending that would allow it to withhold payments to the federal government if the federal government withholds payments to NYS first. NY and CA alone send about $90 billion more a year to the feds than we get back. Nice work, @micahlasher.bsky.social.

Notably, we don't keep formal records or definitions of everyone's race/ethnicity, primary language, religion or sexual orientation. We certainly don't demand it be specified on ID documents. And far from damaging our ability to fight discrimination on those attributes, it's a necessity for it.

fake debate, real debate strikes again: fake debate: how do we balance the competing demands of pluralism of allowing different cultural norms on things like sexuality while ensuring everyone is equal before the law real debate: should gay people be forcibly rendered second class citizens

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

Shout-out to the person in South America that accidentally used my email address to sign up for DiDi so I get notifications of every ride they take. I don't think you meant for me to have a rough idea of where you live and work, but here we are.

Republicans in Congress have done a lot wrong, but their unforgivable political sin, in my book, is their conscious decision that making every American's life worse is an acceptable price to pay for not being primaried. They know what Trump is doing to America, and it doesn't matter to them.

Been saying this since his first term. Trump is legit a back of the napkin moron. He doesn’t have plans. He has no ideas. He isn’t a hard worker. He is just a blow hard.
