Colombia is calling Trump's bluff. This is how it's done. Good on president Petro!

I see some people are demanding we watch the inauguration and I'm all, motherfucker, I didn't watch his first one and spent four years actively avoiding the sound of his voice, what makes you think I'm going to do any different this time around

Banning TikTok is hugely advantageous to both Google and Meta. They've both already built competitors, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. And while Congress and the Supreme Court cite data privacy and China wrt TikTok, Meta gave U.S. data to China before TikTok even existed

I don't have a lot of respect for Aaron Sorkin, but I gotta hand it to him for his choice to depict Mark Zuckerberg in THE SOCIAL NETWORK as a misanthropic incel type whose driving motivation is misogynist resentment

It's amazing that DEI is something corporate consultants came up with to keep their clients from getting sued and now CEOs themselves are freaking out over how it's reverse racism, it's like if your mom was scared of the bogeyman

The vibe shift here is so dramatic that the only thing keeping us from being at each other's throats is the nuclear block and the ability to detach quotes.

All my follows are from desperate people in Gaza who I would love to donate to ~OR~ they’re from OF sexbots who I would not like to donate to. It’s pretty bleak out here in my view 😔

I was in this apartment four years ago today, & the Capitol was in the view of my house, & armed white supremacists roved the streets of our city targeting Black people, & the mayor put us under a curfew. And Trump flagrantly had a coup that was given no consequence to the point he's now president.

This is an excellent read
Because I know how easy it is to divide us: I am a transgender woman. Jude’s essay, in which he saliently and explicitly outlines the ways in which cis “allies” use us as shields until we are to be discarded, is excellent and heartrending, and he is a better feminist than any TERF.
If I kept this in drafts until next week, I would just keep adding things until it grew to the size of the earth, so here it is: "Social constructs" and cis feminism's enduring failure to adequately reckon with transmasculinity: jude-doyle.ghost.io/terfs-trans-...

Grassroots atheists/nonbelievers/secular Americans are very disproportionately liberal to progressive. There’s plenty of sociological data on this. It’s sad that the most visible and platformed English-speaking atheists are not. Also queer Americans skew heavily secular for reasons that make sense
