Why would i assume that evil is going to win by default, do i look like some sort of chump? Giving up my right to fight tooth and nail to prevent it??????? What do you take me for? A RUBE??? a layabout???
I’ve been continuing on with Bridgerton while i play my little games and i must say that if i were anyone in penelope’s family post reveal i would never have trusted her again. Also it should have been a secret from the audience and her season late in the game so she’s ACTUALLY a spinster

Gonna be honest you have to prep yourself for travel in ways you don’t expect bc i really had to find a way to respond to every person i met in Brasil telling me “how Jewish” i looked that was both respectful and a reflection of what a weird statement that is

Came across a random account that claims to be deconstructing HP,,,, but from a glance across videos that seems to mean “discussing the minutiae”??? Having a “jkr is transphobic” disclaimer on your page helps HOW when your whole thing is discussing her work in detail.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

do you know what would help!!!!!!!! living in a society that lets people experiment with their gender without treating it like the most important thing in the world!!!!!!! letting people get it right or wrong without politicising their decisions!!!!!!! just being chilled about gender!!!!!! aaahhhhhh

As someone who regularly struggles to communicate with the people around me, because my brain is built different, the idea that people are seeking out talking to ai because it’s “easier” both makes sense and breaks my heart.

There are a few bg3 writing choices that in retrospect are 🤔🤨, but i was just reminded of the biggest one, and truly what was going through their mind

It's also just not evident based. For all the evidence Cass had tried to amass, this speculation that kids who might have ceased being trans are being frozen in time rather than helped to develop their growing minds, identity and agency by exploring and expressing it actively has zero evidence.
Pure moral panic. How, precisely, would a child who experiments with a different haircut or pronouns get “locked in” to a trans identity?

The parents who had no problem letting her identify as trans suddenly restrict her from identifying as cis? It makes no sense.

My timeline is half leftists complaining about Gavin Newsom and half liberals complaining about Graham Platner and I'd like to propose that we launch both of them into the sun together.

Watching Jenny Nicholson’s vampire diaries video again because i can’t focus on anything else, and though i’ve never seen the show, it’s my favorite video

I keep seeing people getting mad at Eloise Bridgerton for not wanting to get married or do the duties of a spinster as if she’s their actual sister living in real world regency England

People getting mad when someone doesn’t like the first book in a series, saying “just wait until book three or four!” And they’re hundreds of pages long 💀💀💀💀 if it was so good maybe you wouldn’t have to act like enthusiastic cult members to get people to read it

Finished the second Marlow Murder Club book, i liked it, the characters are definitely the strongest part, like the mystery but I think the motivation in this one was a bit weaker

I never watched Casablanca because i thought it was a love story, and then i watched it last February on the middle of a two month long panic attack about the future, and it changed my brain chemistry

One whole thing with Platner stans is this idea he is the only one who can win and framing it as a Dem vs GOP thing. This is a *primary* his presence has deterred other candidates who ... don't have Nazi tattoos.
Platner's dismissive comments about sexual assault in the military were so disgusting that a candidate who had experienced assault in the service dropped out to endorse Mills rather than risk Platner getting into the senate. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/progressiv...

The transphobia happening in the UK really makes me so beyond sad. I lived there for two years, and since i left it has reached a point where someone i knew got all the way to their final priest interview and failed it because they could not fathom being at all affirming of a trans person.

if this has to be a news story it should be that a qualified and competent doctor has been run out of a struggling NHS simply because she is transgender
The BBC reporting on Beth Upton’s current employment situation is definitely not in the public interest, and it is insane how much the British press freely get away with harassing her for the crime of simply living her life existing as a trans person in the UK.
