Yarvin’s books were being sold and advertised at AmericaFest two weeks ago where a grip of Trump regime stooges appeared, including Vance + basically every face in the American right.
Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”

Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

who could’ve possibly expected things to escalate like this? other than i guess, public health workers, educators, librarians, queer business owners, ppl who table at pride events, local elected officials, immigrant justice orgs, nonprofit coworking hubs, venues that host drag shows, federal judges,
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”

SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”

CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”

SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔

He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

there’s actually way fewer redheads in DE than the US, which did not sink in for me until i found out men will absolutely exoticize you for your hair there. shoutout to my boss at a coffee shop who described me, my blonde latvian coworker and my brunette turkish coworker as “a complete set”
Forget insults, what’s the most unhinged *compliment* you’ve ever received?

This video claiming to show New Yorkers pelting ICE agents with snowballs has spread widely across social media, but the footage is misrepresented.

It was captured in Moscow in 2021 as Russians took to the streets following Alexei Navalny's imprisonment.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

she just got the house to pass her bill criminalizing trans care for people under 18 years old.

the only mention in this piece is about how she’s upset trump hasn’t done *enough* to harm trans kids. oh and a quote from her saying trans people are all “perverted”.

what is going on at NYT?

… but why is this an accurate description of my current career.
in your 20s, you'll come across someone who's wrong online. it's very important than you spend the next 40 years of your life learning and arguing about this topic online long after they've moved on, built a career, and raised a family.

Hello repro writers from the mid to late 20 teens - I just discovered Cosmopolitan at some point pulled almost every politics/repro story from the 5 years I wrote for them offline (except two, which they put under someone else's name and gave me "additional reporting" which it very much was not)

it’s really nice that they put episode 3 in heated rivalry. like yes let’s get out of this hermetic little world of time skips and secret hockey hookups. let’s see some normal queer people!

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community

go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

if nothing else, 2025 is the year of:

✅ somehow making it to age 40

✅ the 2 most absurdly good secondhand wardrobe purchases of my life

✅ leg pressing 2x my own weight

For now, the most important thing you can do is submit a public comment about the harm these proposed rules would cause. Your comments may not ultimately sway this transphobic regime, but they will be very important for future lawsuits. 👇
