This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

Quick, someone explain to me again how ~actually it's about Israel defending itself against Hamas~ while the IDF are bombing churches and sniping Palestinian Christians in their places of worship

This is correct! They removed the feeders in part to stop them congregating artificially which is a higher risk for spreading disease in the population.

I love living in a golden age of information where the top search result for a disability support claim form is an obsolete 2018 version that for some reason Health NZ still has live on their goddamn website

But of course it's not sincere. It's a threat. The loser infantrymen of patriarchy are revelling in being able to remind women who holds power and whose safety or dignity can *always* be stripped away to protect the system.

If the "why was she there, what did she expect" arguments were sincere, it would logically follow that we should raise the drinking age only for men, and abolish fraternities entirely. Why tolerate such, apparently, predictable and otherwise unavoidable risks to public safety?

I know it's cliché at this point but the Cornell case so perfectly proves the double standard applied to women's behaviour vs men's. The actions (and inactions, and coverups) of dozens of men don't count if one young woman dared to go to a party first

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

For old times' sake, let us celebrate the Greens' poll results in accordance with the conservative rightwing tradition of Posting Hot Photos Of Me, Specifically

Me, a fat white brunette woman, in very pretty lilac and black strappy lingerie, striking a fabulous pose balanced on one knee and one hand, looking up at the ceiling with the other hand outstretched. A new one for Leo Molloy's weird attempted kompromat files because if there's one thing the right can't stand, it's a confident fat leftwing woman who gives them uncomfy feelings in their tum-tums.

The story of early Christianity is wall-to-wall "we were persecuted, but we stood up for our faith even when they threw us to lions" and these Temuvangelists are out here like "please don't ask me about gay people, if I tell you what I really think you won't vote for me" Cowards, bigots, and liars

Q from the floor about LGBTQ+ x disability, New Cons refused to answer it and tried to hand off the mic to me. Audience heckled him and said we want to hear what you have to say! "Well we're a Party of faith and I'll leave it at that" Audience started heckling "And! And! Own up to your views!"

And you know what, this is a democracy. Uncharismatic loser bigots with billionaire bankrollers can be parents too, and they can form a group to speak to their perspective. But they always have to hide that first part. For some reason. And the media never interrogate them on it. For some reason.

row 200 / 104 stitches on needle is my math starting row of 3 + increase + plain row, then 99 4-row repeats = 399 rows or 398 if the 3-stitch row was the cast on mid point would be repeat 50, each repeat adds 2 stitches, = 50x2 increased stitches plus the 4 on the needles at start of repeats
