We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills.
This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history.
If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

We custom built our own Fallout costumes this year, but my crowning achievement is this pip boy. The screen is just paper, but everything else is 3D printed and hand painted!

That Northerlion speech unironically changed something about my brain chemistry and helped me get through Silksong without feeling the frustration that often comes with doing hard things over and over again.

The cure to male loneliness:
This makes so much sense to me; I had never considered the "head" angle before, and I was already a die-hard inverter.
I seem to have kicked a hornet’s nest with my theory about inverted vs standard game controls. Come for the demo, stay for the unhinged comments. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8SgdptB/
Why do some people use inverted controls in games, and why are they smarter, faster, and better-looking than people who play with starte star standard controls?
