If I say “there’s rat shit in hot dogs,” and you say “but they’re not *entirely* rat shit,” you’re telling me there’s a tolerable >0 amount of rat shit in food, and for some reason you’ve accepted rat shit as an inevitability, and are giving cover fire to rat shit. This is about “not all men.”

Ok but for a situation I was repeatedly told was “not all men” it sure feels like a LOT of fkn men.

This one’s for my straight whites who need to hear it: You are being made to fear vanishingly small anomalies (SA allegations ruin mens’ lives; trans ppl are a threat to sports and bathrooms) so that you ignore manifestly true problems.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Kermit the Frog is the most nuanced and multidimensional character of the entire 20th century, by turns clever, compassionate, decent, frustrated, loyal and even angry, all while staying reliable enough for a kid audience to trust and love him. He’s the blueprint.

ChatGPT helped the Tumbler Ridge school shooter focus on guns, tactics, and terror, our investigation reveals
OpenAI’s chatbot fed the shooter’s violent fantasies and planning up to the massacre.

NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?
