Dear democratic party as a whole,
Quit fucking around trying to abide by traditions and rules to prove your maturity or whatever to a party that cannot be shamed by your example and FUCKING ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING THAT'S NOT JUST SOME STUPID FUCKING PLATITUDE/"THIS TOO SHALL PASS" TYPE SHIT!

Decided to check out how "dominant" that trans fencer was, and... she came in 24th place (out of 39) in this tournament. It's almost like this isn't about "fairness" at all.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal:
“Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine."

I'm not condoning use of the word 'pussy' as an insult, but the point still stands. Every moment where Elon tries to portray himself as a badass, he provides irrefutable evidence that he's a fucking coward. Even a chihuahua might bite someone's ankles, but Elon will just piss on the floor.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

I think all the time about the interviewer who asked Meryl Streep “how did you not know about Weinstein” and she was like “I didn’t know because he NEEDED me not to know”
it isn’t a character flaw to have been deceived by someone who is a deceit expert cultivating the cover of your faith & goodwill

Whenever someone is outed as problematic, there are a billion people who need to see, in sky-writing, "you didn't know, that's ok, but now you do, act accordingly."
No one expects you to be psychic or in on every whisper network, and folks inferring so aren't being fair. WHISPER networks. WHISPER.

I was watching The Twilight Zone earlier today, and I want to scream and weep over how the episode "He's Alive" is still painfully relevant.

This kind of reporting has been so badly needed for so long. The NYT has been both hostile and opaque on trans issues.
New original reporting on bias at the New York Times:
Evan Urquhart has the story of @billiejsweeney.bsky.social, once an editor on the NYT international desk, and how she tried, and ultimately failed, to improve the paper's coverage of trans issues from the inside.

I have to emphasise that the people doing conversion therapy in 1962 on gay people were also doing it already on trans people. Read "Curing Queers: Mental Nurses and Their Patients, 1935–74" for some info on the specifics of the British system but this was everywhere.
The trans panic is just a rehash of old homophobic ideas, Exhibit A.
