The thing I've never understood about cracking down on adults' access to ADHD medication is the fact that stimulants make people more productive whether they actually have ADHD or not. Shouldn't our capitalist overlords want exactly that?
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

also: volcano high instantly became the target of queerphobic 4chan hate campaigns that birthed the insufferable "snoot game." when queers do their own thing, they get attacked viciously for years on end. it doesnt matter how segregated we are from the straights, bigots come knocking regardless.

A neat thing about birthright citizenship is how it tests whether a person cares at all about the Constitution. There's no argument against it, birthright citizenship is the unambitious text, the obvious intent of the drafters, and the undisputed way it was followed for the past 150+ years.
I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

the reason that it's so disturbing when Newsom/Buttigieg/Harris say that they want to force trans ppl out of sports is that it signals that they don't want to fight for trans rights at a time when there is a massive genocidal campaign against trans people. 1

It's honestly kind of funny that the premise here is that students are going to gather to watch the woman known exclusively for writing a bad essay do some public speaking.

"In a just world, where the career of a political pundit was somehow tied to his ability to analyze politics, this would be an extinction-level event for these morons."
My latest newsletter is about how centrist pundits got the lessons of the 2024 election wrong, and how the politics of 2025 exposed them.

it's weird growing up seeing the huge growth of the information age and the rapid development of software, suddenly screeching to a halt, not because the technology doesn't exist, but because the incentives aren't aligned between the big established players and their users anymore

Again, your silence is so fucking vile and racist @housedemocrats.bsky.social What the hell is wrong with all of you?
Trump goes on another racist rant about Somalis: "Ilhan Omar should be thrown the hell out of our country, and most of those people -- they have destroyed Minnesota. It's a hellhole right now. Those Somalians should be out of here. They have destroyed out country ... go back to your own country."

Keep thinking about how cooked we are as a society. The administration keeps pointing to groups of brown people and telling us its their fault everything is shit, and the media is like "does he have a point? No, but what if wokeness is the real problem?"
Trump on Minnesota's Somali community: "They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you."

Assumption of good faith is a solid heuristic.

But also "assumptions" are guesses you make before you have the evidence. You are allowed to retract good faith once more evidence arises.

But also, you shouldn't assume good faith from folks who are your avowed enemies.

I understand that there are a lot of people out there who think they have good intentions and love to take their ideological opponents in good faith because it makes them seem fair and reasonable and I truly cannot overstate how dangerous this is to trans people and how much they should stop
