hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Hi folks. Just to be clear, a date has not yet been announced for the next No Kings. If a PAC you’ve never heard of asks for donations to “organize” it, please block and report them

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

It's difficult to make a compelling film whose main character is a jerk without either compromising the jerkishness of the main character or having a story nobody cares about because the protagonist is a jerk. Gaston is a jerk. He's a compelling villain, but not remotely a sympathetic one.
I do not want Gaston backstory, I do not need Gaston backstory, I reject Gaston backstory
he is a fully formed oaf, consuming eggs by the dozen in one of the greatest villain songs ever written, and that is all we need of him

There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

He's not a god king who is divinely owed a throne, he is a man who might run for president in a primary that is years away. Now is the exact time for us to be shouting from the rooftops that transphobes won't get our vote so we demand other candidates.
"How can you say you're never voting for Newsom? You're handing the election to the GOP!"
Because I don't vote for Republicans, ever. Newsom is a racist, transphobic, genocide supporting Republican. Ergo, I am not voting for him. Find me someone who isn't a Republican and I'll consider them.

I don't get why this one holiday takes over 90% of restaurant playlists and half of all radio stations (I do get why retail does it, capitalism, but not the rest). People would Grinch out over President's Day if every other song on the radio was about George Washington throughout February.

About an hour and a half in-game and at least as much time getting an ancient iffy laptop working. That's probably more effort than the AI prompt itself took, so eh. There's limits as to what The Sims 2 can even do (no tilting furniture at a 45 degree angle, everything on a grid, etc).
