"Transphobic" like "racist" was coined to describe a reality and a moral valence came along with that description and it turns out a lot of people love the reality - the behavior, the attitude, the structural harm- but will violently resist the idea that their lessers may morally evaluate them.
Sorry luv, that's definitely transphobic, that's extremely transphobic

Nintendo being shy is hilarious, but also the fact that we now live in a world where people casually go "oh don't sue you'll totally get deported" is fucking depressing.
"Fans have urged The Pokémon Company to sue the US government for using the theme song. However, the company’s former chief legal officer told IGN that a lawsuit is highly unlikely because the company is “INSANELY publicity-shy” and “many of their execs in the USA are on green cards.”"

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23.
A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

I'm sorry, but did I read this correctly? This dude livestreamed the event, used it as self-promotion, stole stuff from the crime scene thus contaminating it, and then tried to sell said stolen goods/potential evidence on eBay? Did I read this right? Jesus Christ. Why are people...?

This cannonization and even deifying of a fascist NatC who despised his fellow human beings & American citizens has to STOP. Anyone supoorting this whitewashed view, even if they think it's the appropriate thing to do in the momentary climate, is a danger to all of us.

Greta Thunberg has posted a pre recorded video, indicating that her and the other crew from the Madleen Freedom Flotilla have been kidnapped by Israel
As mentioned in my previous post this is a pre recorded video made in case they were eventually kidnapped, which it appears they have been now....

They were already doing this for some of their courses last year. The Irish course is completely ruined, the real human voices have been replaced with AI ones which have their pronunciation all over the place, and in many cases make up sounds that don’t exist in any Irish dialect. It’s awful.
