This one is (semi) autobiographical.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving,

Aliens is one of those ones that I feel like is not really like the others.

Do I think intelligent live exist somewhere in the universe? Absolutely.

Are they here sticking things up people's butts? Probably not.
New polling on aliens
% of U.S. adult citizens who believe the following definitely or probably exist:
Aliens 56%
Bigfoot 28%
The Yeti 23%
The Loch Ness Monster 22%
Chupacabra 16%

Good morning. In the past 24 hours, more Americans have Googled “felching” than have searched for “turkey recipes”

To appreciate trans existence you have to face the horrifying reality that trans adults were not cis kids.

Well this is a terrifying development.
This is basically making it so trans people who were adopted and had their birth records sealed cannot obtain a passport at all. This will also ensnare cis people who were adopted and have clerical errors on their records or are suspected of being trans.
this is fucking new, i think im gonna be sick

how tf am i supposed to get an old birth cert if it was fucking sealed by the state

oh but religious records are valid dw

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

If we're going to have AI, we need to be using it to make things better. Like, I've been using it to help me collect data and fill out some very tedious financial forms.

We should not be using it to replace the creativity at the heart and soul of the human experience.

In the 2000s, just ten percent of Americans believed the government was doing a poor job on economic policy. Today, that's 64%, higher than at any point in our history, beating the oil shocks, wage and price controls, the great inflation, any major recession, financial crisis or pandemic.

Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

The Oval Office is the probably one of the most important places on Earth. Most of us have never been there but we know what it looks like.

The very strength of the word "Oval Office" means it doesn't NEED a sign. EVERYONE knows it's there.

So fucking tacky.
New sign outside the Oval Office..

"nonbinary is a kind of communist.”

I literally cannot stop thinking about this phrase. Like I know all of these are words but holy cow I just cannot understand this.
I kept saying “my spouse is nonbinary, you know that, you’ve had us in your home.”

She say “well, I don’t think of them as nonbinary. To me nonbinary is a kind of communist.”

I don’t know how many times people are going to try me before they realize that they’re dealing with a fundamentally different person.

The guy you could walk all over is gone.

She’s been replaced by a bitch that takes ZERO shit.

I just totally did the Marie Kondo “thank you and hug” before letting this go. This was another “first girl thing I wore out” and was my go-to coat for years in Alabama.

the day that society at large understands that testosterone and estrogen are necessary hormones in your body regardless of your sex, and that hormone supplementation is a health question rather than a loaded emotional question, will be one of the greatest days in human history.
when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:
