In 1980, we didn't call it "gender affirming surgery" to overcome my deep shame and fear by giving me a testicular implant but that's sure as hell what it did for me. And affirming medical care shouldn't be limited to cisgender people like me. #gendercare #lgbt #transrights
Ball Game
How a gender-affirming surgery changed my cisgender life in middle school (and long after)

I just wrote about this stupid idea of keeping your head down and making money during a time of national insanity (real estate agent edition). Except I use a lot of curse words, because fuck this shit.

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work.

Really depraved shit.
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

The defining feature of Rogan and his ilk is knowing nothing about things but talking about them anyway, saying things that sounds smart to other people who don’t know anything about them.

It’s good he is catching on but damned of his and our collective ignorance haven’t run us off a cliff.

Picked up this circa 1959 Smith-Corona Electric Portable. This one is going to be a real project: the motor stutters like an old Ford, it's dirty as hell, and the left platen knob is broken (though I have all the pieces). I know I can make it pretty, gonna see if I can make it really work.

Why is Michael Rappaport on this show? He's just an asshole but not an entertaining asshole. #traitors

Relevant follow-up question we'll never get: "Why are you exuding such small dick energy?"
Hegseth takes the mic and starts denigrating a CNN reporter for asking a "disingenuous question," adding, "you're trying to find any angle possible to undermine the success of one of the most historic military missions the world has ever seen"

"Dems rightly bemoaned Walz’s political funeral, and they slammed the halfwit MAGA wannabe journalists who partly brought it about. That’s not enough. This double standard will persist until the left builds its own proper media ecosystem"

Tim Walz’s political downfall has liberals up in arms, Pete Hegseth takes aim at Mark Kelly, and a deadly start to 2026 in Sudan.

say what you will about Andrew Tate, but his decision to not have a chin likely saved his life in that fight. Just one of those uppercuts would've killed Bruce Campbell.
