Someone’s front lawn in front of their house. Someone put out a very good replica of the original enterprise Bridge as a Halloween decoration the difference is all of the characters are skeletons at their stations wearing TOS uniforms.

It is not permitted to request jury nullification during a trial but it is permissible to discuss it abstractly. Jury nullification is the synthesis of two rules. First, the prosecution cannot appeal a jury verdict of not guilty. Second, a jury issuing a verdict of not guilty need not explain itself

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Ah yes, the mind is boggled by immigrants and tourists who don’t want to get abused and thrown into a secret nightmare prison for weeks or months before eventually being whisked away to a country they didn’t come from in the first fucking place. What a mystery!

I don't believe that every trans person in America should immediately be made aware of every single evil bill introduced by some podunk state rep in a random red state they don't live in I don't think that's healthy. I have always needed to see a likelihood of advancement before I would write it up

My two most unpopular higher ed opinions (at least among the general public) are 1) college sports are a tool to exploit students and offer the illusion of opportunity instead of just making college more accessible for everyone and 2) burn all frats to the ground

i love how strongly anti-AI young buckaroos are, and the creative community is, and basically anyone who knows anything about it. but dang i wish folks brought that kind of fight to the world of erotica. such a sneaky reveal of how those who CLAIM to care actually dont see erotica as 'real art'

Christians conceptualize Judaism as an active, ongoing rejection of their god, when from our perspective, there's nothing to even reject. It was never on the table. Jesus genuinely isn't a part of our lives, just by the nature of our beliefs.

It’s okay if you have days where you don’t want to deal with the hardships of disability. All of your feelings around that are valid. I am struggling with those feelings right now, and no amount of disability positive vibes is helping... So I am just putting it out there, so you can feel seen too.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

"Palestinians would kill you for being queer." Not the queer ones. And Israeli bombs and bullets harm queer Palestinians as much as the bigoted ones. Also, if you don't believe people with bad morals also deserve Human rights, you don't actually believe in Human rights. You want privilege.

I don't care if a stranger doesn't like a thing I like (because why would I) but I do experience a deep anger when they say that everyone who likes the thing is actually lying or pretending, and that it is somehow physically impossible for anyone to genuinely like it.

I feel like one of the most radical, best and most rebelliously good things you can do right now in the informational online space is just....give people credit, love, support and shoutouts. Even if they just inspired you or prodded a thought you built on, name them and thank them loudly.

If you separate it out - these men love the female body, and hate the female mind's insistence she is a fully formed person with a perspective "as valid as his own." Autonomy is a threat when control is the goal. It's why I think so much religion seeks control of women, especially their sexuality.

A lot don’t, in my opinion. They fall in love with him, they like having sex with them. But LIKE them? Want to spend time with them? Appreciate the things they like and the way they think and their perspectives? Nope.
