from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz

Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

The epistemic structure Evan points to here is really important, and more and more pervasive. It's the same one at work in Anti-Vax stuff and seems to be animating all kinds of moral panics. There's a kind of metastasizing biopoltical phantasmatic that's at the core of the new fascism.

Thinking about that half-earth socialism game that came out in 2022 and how if you just dick around for the first 3 years then by 2025 it's already nearly impossible to right the ship. for no reason.

Streets are saying If Books Could Kill is the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 of podcasts www.vulture.com/article/cult...

What Sadie Sink Loved This Year in Culture

How about podcasts or video games?
If Books Could Kill. The two hosts have really good banter and conversation. They review famous airport books, these bestseller airport books, often a memoir or self-help books. I don’t know if there’s much fiction work that’s on there. They break them down, debunk them, or roast them in a way. A lot of it is like, Do they need a book?

A Bit Fruity. Matt Bernstein is the host. He is really intelligent. There’s political episodes, there’s pop-culture episodes. I’ve learned a lot listening to it. It’s a great way for me to keep up with what’s going on in the world but in a way that’s a little bit broader than something like The Daily, which I always love and listen to. Matt is in his 20s, and he makes it a very educational listen while also not feeling like you’re being lectured in any way. It’s a good blend.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I’m playing now and loving it.

Playing EU5 as Scotland and decided to make Perth my capital (didn't realize the benefits of making your capital also be the market center, and it'd be a 20000 ducat investment to change at this point). I've become so centralized that Perth in alternate 1429 has a higher population than Perth 2025.

This is my point again that the electorate has no idea of what's actually going on. Not in some ideological way, so you can argue whether it's good or not, just in a fact way.

my number one favorite thing about silksong is actually the physics-enabled rosaries. not only is it simply funny on its face, but it really drives home the humiliating nature of chasing down one measly coin when you've got no money, and the despair when a big one falls in a gutter

Yes. All the empirics on misinformation indicate that the way to defeat bad ideas is to mock and marginalize them. Constantly declaring "hey the far right isn't so bad" is a terrible strategy both morally and electorally. Dems should be way more comfortable saying "look at these fucking psychos"

I did get on the hh:27 bus just now, so I can confirm this is a data issue and not an availability issue

@hfxtransit.bsky.social your website says the 7B goes every 15 minutes, but Google seems to be missing one of the four hourly buses in its routes -- I see hh:12, hh:42, and hh:57, but no hh:27 route, and I noticed this last week too, so there might be an issue with the data provided to 3rd parties

Screenshot of Google maps transit preview showing the 7B bus route, with departure times having gaps of either 15 minutes or 30 minutes depending on the time.

Last night at exactly 10:18 pm (I looked) I stood up from a couch I had been rotting on for days and suddenly had the clarity, vision & energy to sort, shred, recycle eight months worth of mail. Then I cleaned the kitchen, packed for a trip & prepped a talk. It is ridiculous.

I still remember booting up The New Order when it came out expecting it to be like Duke Nuke Em, loud brash but fun. While it is that, it’s also beautifully written and soulful. BJ whispers, “You commission a portrait to service your ego. General, you waste your paint,” lives rent free in my head.

Assuming trans people's physiology based on our birth certificates is potentially unsafe

Extract of text saying "The clinical research team found that troponin levels shifted towards the affirmed gender after 12 months of hormone therapy.

Troponin decreased in transgender women to a level not statistically different from cisgender women, but which was 78% lower than in cisgender men.

In transgender men, troponin increased to the range of cisgender men and became roughly seven times higher than in cisgender women"

there’s a subset of people who, if you point out something bad happening now, will basically reply “it was always like this and anyone who disagrees is just privileged.” it parades as savvy but nine times out of ten it’s just an ahistorical oversimplification.
