While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months.
All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.

The weirdest online arguments I've been in are a tie between the woman who thought you could grow enough corn in an apartment closet to feed yourself and the guy who said me and my "pack of harpies" would be crucified along I-95 by the coming fascist regime for disliking Thoreau.
Far and away the weirdest online dispute I got into was with someone who strongly disagreed with my belief that there will never be time travel because we haven’t heard of anyone doing it. If it became possible it would become so common that we would have experienced them already.
One of the weirdest online arguments I had was with a hardline Israeli right winger who insisted modern Egyptians were not descended from the ancient Egyptians because the Arabs had genocided the whole population after conquest for being pagans

A lot of people are going to say “they killed off Morpheus in The Matrix Online”, but the important bit is they killed him off *in a live event with paid human GMs live-roleplaying*
After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

I've never had a trans woman tell me to get back in the kitchen, or make a "joke" about how women shouldn't be allowed to vote. I've never seen trans women outside the planned parenthood calling women murderers and whores. trans women have never dogged me out for incorrectly performing femininity

well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

There’s a moment in the classic film “Paths of Glory” in which an artillery officer, told to commit a war crime, asks for the order in writing.
That is happening right now, in real life, among US troops in the Carribbean.
Except in the movie, the demand kept the crime from happening.

Gibts bei diesem Satz eigentlich irgendeine andere Interpretation, als dass zumindest ein Mitglied der Gesellschaft Schweiz-Israel sich die Vernichtung eines ganzen Volkes wünscht..?

So many people are self sabotaging by deskilling via this nonsense right now. Want an edge in 2027? Don’t build reliance on bad tools into your process in 2025.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
