I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.

They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.
"Everything straight is actually gay" is my favourite kind of ragebait posts by these morons.

Last month, a growing coalition of Massachusetts-based LGBTQ+ organizations sent a letter to @warren.senate.gov and requested a meeting with the Senator to discuss her previous support for #KOSA given the Trump admin's weaponization of the FTC to target trans healthcare.

The office ignored us.

Finding out that you can watch movies without having to sub, listen to music without feeding an algo, and play video games without being online is wildly liberating, I guess

"If one of the most anti-abortion states in America can muster only a sliver of support for total bans, what does that tell you about how popular abortion rights really are? Just as important: if deep red states don’t want abortion banned, who does?"

Bill Kristol's still out there doing a better job leading than Jeffries and Schumer.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

I can’t quite get over the NW leadership announcing their capitulation on Friday evening after the day after Thanksgiving. They believe that other than some strongly worded letters and op-eds in the local papers, their own community will quickly move on.

Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

AI acts like a slot machine bc it doesn't use formal descriptive systems to specify outputs.

If you have an idea for a program and you write the code, it does what you wanted, or it doesn't, and then you fix it, or you don't. It is deterministic; if you wrote it correctly, it works, repeatedly
