Demonstrating that they are willing to throw trans people under the bus only shows me that they're willing to throw people under the bus for power, and is one of the strongest arguments they could make for keeping them as far away from power as possible.

Are you an idiot, or just a liar? 28 of 50 state college systems offer reduced or free college courses for seniors, with qualifying ages ranging from 60-65. The exact same courses that teenagers have to pay thousands of dollars for. 'Free college, but only for the old' is the ageist policy.

Hell, it's what the fuckers STILL give themselves. One of the best public community colleges in my area offers courses FOR CREDIT TOWARDS A DEGREE, completely tuition free for anyone who's at least 60 years old at the start of classes.

They're gonna go and say "It's not mass changes to the voter rolls, it's millions of individual changes, all based on the completely trustworthy information provided to us by the federal government, so there is obviously no need for the state to individually scrutinize each removal itself."

Some Dems are running away from trans people. Abdul El-Sayed, Dem Senate Candidate in Michigan, is running towards them. When asked, he fully and unequivocally support trans youth care as a matter between parents, patients, and doctors. Subscribe to support our journalism.

"The Decision Ought To Be Between A Patient And Their Doctor," Says Michigan Senate Candidate El-Sayed On Trans Care
Even conservatives “agree that the decision about healthcare ought to be between a person and their provider,” El-Sayed said.

Farm Adventures' Petting Zoo, NC. If you COULD have been exposed, GO TO THE ER. Danger window was July 28 through August 27. If exposed, assume you are infected, and it is literally vaccine or death, there is no way to test for infection, and by the time symptoms develop, you're already dead.

All this shit Mamdani is doing in NYC? Those videos detailing 'This is a specific problem, and this is what we're doing to address it' or 'This is the results of this program we launched', that constant discussion of the problems and solving them is what needs to be done for all their vast fuckery.

I feel like Dolly Parton's boobs can be joked about in almost any manner, especially if said joke brings people joy, and isn't at anybody else's expense. Except for derogatorily or to cause harm. And knowing Maher, derogatorily or harmfully is almost certainly the manner in which he made the joke.

Eberron is more like a Post-WW1 world, on a fantasy scale. A main continent worn out by a century of war, war weary countries, one of which has been turned into that blasted wasteland, new independent countries broken away as independent nations run by minority races, international monopolies

If it worked like that, going off meds, then you'd expect the cravings to hit like they originally did, because, basically, your body has taken down the defenses it built against them once they went away. But that strength doesn't last, because your body now knows how to rebuild those defenses fast.

Eyllena ⏳ @eyllena.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
That's interesting. It sounds almost like, rather than the cravings ever naturally diminishing, you simply become acclimated to them over time, so they feel weaker. Then GLP-1 actually eliminates the craving, so over time you lose the acclimation to the constant craving that you'd become used to.

I find it hilarious that the entire AI industry began as a 'We're gonna try and get you in the door with a free sample, then once you're hooked charge you through the nose for it' scam, and after that fell apart, their idea to get people back is 'What if we try to get them hooked with a free trial?'

J Jonah Jameson is talking to a transitioning p. parker in his office, saying "PARKER!! Didn't you start transitioning around the same time as that WEB HEAD!?"  with Parker nervously responding "Oh, yeah ... I noticed early on, talking all the photos... and it gave me the courage to start-"

In the second panel, JJ is cutting her off saying "WHAT A SHAME!  We need better representation if that MENACE is all we have to inspire young women like you!"  And Parker in the back saying "Umm... thanks?" #meme #spiderman #trans #fanart

The people who see your identity never see your account information, the organization which has your account information never see your identity. The people checking age are already used to doing ID checks if they sell cigs, alcohol, do banking, etc.

I mean, I can think of some ways to do it. The simplest one would borrow from Japan's 'pay cash for online purchases' system. You create the account, then as the final, age verification step, you're sent a barcode/QR code, take it to a kiosk location, clerk verifies you're of age, and authorizes it.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAl is.
GenAl is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Not just that but Tolkien also said, "Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."
Sound familiar?
Misha Loren
Just now
The analogy of the One Ring for GenAl is quite powerful, especially when you consider how it seduces users with the promise of easy power. That quote about evil being unable to create anything new feels particularly relevant to the way these models remix existing human art. It really makes you wonder if we're trading our creative soul for a shortcut.

FWIW from my teeny tiny perspective as a freelance writer, I am not going to watch the Harry Potter show, I am not going to pitch on it, and I will decline any assignments if offered. I could really use the money, but it's not worth the cost of hurting trans lives.

I’ve been hearing since like episode 2 of YGOTAS that I’m “not as funny as I was before” so you’ll have to understand that anyone who attempts to say shit like “the videos got worse when she trans’d her gender” is firing a peashooter at level 100 armor.

Recently, critical comments about LGBT people every day make me very sad. LGBT people just want to love whom they love and live proudly as themselves—why treat that as a demand? Living as a human is a right and shouldn’t be restricted by male and female genders🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Frederick Douglass, 1857: Those who profess to favor freedom yet deprecate agitation want crops without plowing the ground; they want rain without thunder + lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.

I remember not hating most of those other ones, but I also read a ton of other stuff at the same times for my free pizzas, so all the tales of adventure helped break up the boring stuff. That list needs some mandatory fun reads for the kids who haven't been lucky enough to discover reading for fun.

I can't help but feel like Shakespeare should never be a *reading* assignment. Like, either have the class perform reading it in class, or take a trip to a local production if you're lucky enough to have one. The Bard wrote for the *stage*, not the page.
