NYT when a cis woman wants to take testosterone: 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Earlier this year, we published an article on how women are increasingly seeking out testosterone to help with energy or their sex lives. We followed up with one woman who went on testosterone to help with her menopausal symptoms. The effects had unexpected consequences for her marriage.

So this is just slavery. Minus extra steps.

They’re rebooting the international slave trade.

They’re starting with migrants, next will be ex-naturalized citizens (quota was announced this week)

finally, it will be dissidents

That’s their plan

To literally sell us

The other day Stancil went on a tear about how words don’t mean the thing they mean, now he’s trying to tell us Kat can’t do a thing she’s doing … literally no idea what this guy is on about at this point
Campaigns are literally not set up to do this, they don’t have the staff or funding for it, it puts them in severe legal jeopardy, it raises the financial bar to running for office, and it would instantly turn into pure signaling exercise. Could you use your brains for once in your dumb lives
at a deep instinctive level they can't recognise popular ideas or take them seriously

I fucking loathe these smug ass art-hating self-congratulating ghouls & the system that allows them to fail upwards into unfathomable wealth on the backs of 1000s of overworked creative people whose livelihoods get passed around like trading cards every time these dillwads have a stonks circle-jerk.

I don't think transgender athletes are the problem facing girls and women in sports.
Investigators say former coach Sean Gardner created videos showing close-up images of at least 10 minors naked or undressing, which they recovered from his computers last year while investigating reports of sexual abuse.

Gardner has pleaded not guilty and has been jailed pending trial.

The problem is the pyramid has been inverted; the people at the top have the experience, acumen, and tendency toward corruption of a small town city council, while the people at the bottom are the actual experts

Staying in a lot of hotels on tour, I started carrying a universal remote in my suitcase and I bookmarked the various codes/tricks to disable hospitality mode on the hotel room TVs so I could get into the settings and turn off the motion smoothing, no matter how hard they try to keep me out.

we put so much stock in the "official White House social media accounts," but maybe these guys are actually treating the whole thing with the respect it deserves, like writing messages on the bathroom wall
These are both Jordan’s accounts.

So he’s agreeing with himself that evil Dems and media are mean to poor victim snowflake Donnie.

just a reminder that the newspapers could get together and decide to describe any particular rambling Trump speech as proof that he was too crazy to be president and totally bury him in like 2 weeks

How have I never seen anyone lose their shit with Donald Trump? Just get completely fed him with his shit and lose it? In 50 years of public life, no one’s ever had it up to here with this guy?

Let’s be perfectly clear on this: Schumer himself is not up for reelection until 2028. The vote to replace him as caucus leader can happen tomorrow morning. Every day Democrats are not calling for it, they need to explain why. Every. Fucking. Day.
