really the only advice I can give both new and old users is don’t sub to blocklists, because people use them for revenge and trolling and you’ll end up blocking people you like 💀
Why tf? Were you added to one of these revenge blocklists? I have a bunch of folks blocking me because of those. Alas :///

But your editorial posture has long suggested that talking any form of hormone therapy is akin to grinding up a demon and snorting it in the bathroom of a Wingstop?
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.

When Bernie Sanders was running for president, he had an interview where someone asked roughly: "What do you say to the Republicans who call you far left?" And Bernie replied "They're going to call any democrat that gets nominated a far left socialist."
But yes, we have no "left wing" in the US.

I saw the trailer for Shadow Labyrinth that made it look like a Metroidvania with a dark, edgy Pac-Man adaptation, and bought it on sale for a lark
I didnt realize it was actually a mashup fanfic deal with basically all of Namco’s classic game properties
I’ve seen Galaga, Xevious, Bosconian so far

I have liberal friends I care about very much, and they consider themselves to the left, but the moment I explain how we need an economy built around human centered socialism rather than profit centered capitalism, they close up. They think it's pie in the sky.

yes and it pales in comparison to how imminent of a threat the far right is, who occupy positions in government, military, police, corporations etc.
equating the far left and the far right does nothing but enable the far right

I’m so tired of Americans talking about the “far left”
America does not even HAVE a “far left.”
The closest you get is some weird tankies online, but they’re very few, and they’re nowhere near the levers of power
Progressives are center-left. They could only be “far-left” if you believe fascists

What’s the point of stupid comments like this when everyone knows he means black and brown immigrants???

A reminder that Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra’s parents emigrated here during a period when Italians were considered to be a genetically inferior and criminal-minded underclass that Stephen Miller’s racist predecessors said should be excluded from America

This post from an elected Democrat was caused by him dismissing a progressive who said that Democrats are not doing enough with the power they have to resist Trump.
Democrats have a lower approval rating than Trump because they keep openly proving that they hate progressives more than fascists.

The far left and the far right disagree on a lot, but both really enjoy being arrogant in their ignorance.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

DNC won't release its report on what went wrong for Democrats in 2024
DNC Chair Ken Martin ordered a postmortem report after he assumed his post and said it would help the party learn from mistakes. Now he says releasing it would be a distraction.

I criticize a bunch of stuff besides Democrats.
However, when Democrats say Trump is doing bad stuff, I do think responding that the Democratic Party isn't using the power they do have... is a fair point.

Not everything needs to be a fucking franchise or IP. That pressure runs do many shows.
This is why people need to follow creators, rather than specific works. Let there be one season shows that end and don’t get stretched out for corporate greed.
