COULD IT BE THE UNMITIGATED HOMOPHOBIA AND GENDERED VIOLENCE UNDER A FASCIST REGIME?

Considering they've now edited Natalie INTO at least one official image, I do wonder if the White House has pivoted strategies and decided to embrace the implication of an affair (because it also implies some measure of strength and virility that the decrepit old fuck obviously lacks)

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

I been telling y’all this
This is how I can tell that we were being conditioned: instead of taking accountability for the fact that she might be leading her party towards a political buzzsaw with this referendum vote, she decided to double down by attacking immigrants. She tweeted: "Temporary residents contribute about $150-million to our tax base
annually, yet the cost to provide services for them is over $1-billion. It's simply not fair to Alberta taxpayers." She provides zero sources for these numbers, yet we are supposed to take them as facts. Blaming immigrants or minorities of some kind are where the conservatives naturally turn when things are going wrong for them. This displacement of blame allows Smith to refocus attention in an attempt to obscure the fact that she has been privatizing Alberta health care and education throughout her premiership, thereby defunding public services for private interests.

Privatization wasn’t on the ballot when Canadians voted for Mark Carney. Really foul the way he’s using the blind trust so many continue to have in him to make massive, fundamental changes to Canada (hurting normal Canadians) so big companies can profit. Please pay attention.

Lot of "Google Capitulates" headlines today, but Google (and Apple and Microsoft) already capitulated last year when they changed the Gulf of Mexico. This isn't unexpected and should not be a surprise. Glad people are talking about it, but makes me wonder/worry how much catching up folks have to do

I have zero faith that the Democrats will ever change the name back. It's the lowest-hanging fruit, yet I'm so confident they'll find an excuse not to do it. Future generations of Americans will only know Lake America and the Gulf of America They won't go back to "Department of Defense" either btw

"Well, that child was probably sick to begin with" is exactly the same line deployed to excuse horrific images of children starving in Gaza. This is not a coincidence. It is both a smokescreen for their policy outcomes and a glimpse at the actual, eugenicist beliefs that underpin those policies

Gabriel Knight was a decade-long obsession for me; occasionally, I still dream about new stories involving those characters. Last night was the first time in ages that I've had such a dream. The entire cast of all 3 games was incredible, but Tim Curry was the titan among them. RIP.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

incredible, the court basically did the dril drunk driving tweet
[75]       There is much that is wrong with this reasoning. It minimizes the purpose of the legislation, in effect trivializing it by characterizing it as saving some drivers a few minutes rather than reducing traffic congestion, which may in turn result in a wide range of positive effects. At the same time, it inflates the negative effects of removing the bicycle lanes, talking of injuries and deaths that will occur only if the bicyclists choose to ride on the roads that have no bicycle lanes – a situation that obtains on roads throughout the province. Having so characterized the purpose and effects of the legislation, the application judge rendered the outcome inevitable on a simple proportionality standard.drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

It’s important to understand “age verification” and “kick the kids off social media” laws as a gift to Big Tech. These policies allow surveillance capitalism to chug along full steam ahead and let Silicon Valley giants off the hook. Instead of regulating their biz model, we just put up age gates
