Them: I used ChapGPT to find a dinner recipe.

Me: Oh, wow, so you like poisoning black neighborhoods so you can cook… *lowers reading glasses*…a roast chicken that’s still too dry. Wow.

1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.

It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.

Community members are devastated.

One thing that I’ve come around on in comics is it used to seem corny and childish that a bunch of guys would call themselves the Legion of Doom and meet in an old castle where they’d be like ”hiss let us defeat the ideas of hope and love hiss” but that’s what they’re actually doing in real life lol

the more i think about it, bari weiss running CBS is direct proof there’s not really a meritocracy in any real way under capitalism. the opposite is true in this system, failing upwards is the default the more a country becomes an oligarchy

This plus keeping boxes for big purchases like consoles “just in case” you might need it to return, resell, or pack it when moving - even though you never use it for that. I realized just the other day we have our original PS4 box from release day still (meanwhile we have a PS5 by now lmao)

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

One of my favorite parts of watching any D&D live play is finding out which of the players and/or DM are going to be gay with each other

Much like many early researchers on autism, it seems Tr*mp did not even consider that autistic cis women exist

“Haha, yeah totally, Mr. President. By the way, did you know circumcisions cause autism? Probs should ban those tbh…..”

If I see any journalists write an article like “Does the foreskin hold the key to preventing autism?” I’m going to lose my mind

Gays on Grindr: “So, are you autistic or unautistic? 😏”

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 7d

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I never understood this bizarre argument that she’s secretly a conservative because it’s willfully ignoring the truly countless examples of queer people who come from conservative families and obviously are not conservative themselves. Like???

Whatever happened to that dude who supposedly “had Mike Johnson’s Grindr profile” and was going to release it if she wasn’t sworn in? Lmao
