For me it’s the “Quiet! Quiet!” — women and femmes are often murdered by being strangled. There is a constant simmering anger at hearing women speak that’s endemic in our culture (cf Margaret Atwood).
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Absolutely. So revealing of his baseline level of hypersensitivity and latent violence.
i know “quiet, piggy” is just one raindrop in the flood of vile, shocking statements from trump, but it’s SO cruel, so threatening, such a violation of our most basic interpersonal norms. i would really like to see it get some actual coverage.
"When an off-camera female reporter... began to ask if there was anything 'incriminating' in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,' he said menacingly."
Tell me again how it's women who are ruining the workplace?

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”.
We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want.

Imagine you could ask some dude to hop in his big, gas-guzzling car, drive over to your house any time, and do your work for you.
But what if I told you that when the dude left your house, he was going down the block to visit a troubled teenager in order to help them commit suicide? (Gift link)

Perry: How can AI be used ethically when it’s been linked to suicide?
"It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products," David M. Perry writes.
