Disappeared? People talking like this about social fucking media? Touch grass is cliche but I'm guessing some people need more than a 72 hour break for their own well being. There are people in this country actually being disappeared every day.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

For obvious reasons Catholic bishops are never going to be a turbolib constituency but this is basically as close as you can get of an institutional condemnation of the Vice President from his religious community

Chances of us getting involved in a stupid-ass land war to try to distract from the president's pedophile sex scandal?

It's high. It's *very* high.

Gotta be honest, it absolutely sucks watching the same people who call me a groomer just for being trans say that Epstein did nothing wrong because his victims were teenagers.

PEOPLE WOULD RATHER THEIR KIDS BE RAPED THAN BE TRANS.

And it is INFURIATING.

I asked John Roberts and he says no one know what ex post facto means
“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

Oh god plz dont give me a 1990 toyota hilux i would hate that so bad
pickup trucks for the average person should not have been allowed to advance past this. if you need anything bigger, you should have to provide some kind of documentation showing you have the license and need for special heavy machinery, otherwise you get the 1990 toyota hilux

When your data becomes the product, you lose control over what’s shared, who sees it, and how it’s used.

Proton is living proof that you don’t need to choose between productivity and privacy. You can build tools that work for users, not through them.

I need this kind of help like I need a raccoon in my bra
Google has now admitted that they will tap into users' personal data within Gmail and Drive in order for their upcoming AI search to "be more helpful".

For years, Google has advertised their services as "encrypted" and "secure", which begs the question: are they really?
