loving cats, apparently, makes you more attractive to 28% of Americans, per a new survey. that compares with just 23% for owning a home. among Gen Z, the cat figure rises to 34%. having trouble on the apps? put down that mortgage application and get yourself to a cat rescue.

my latest: Massachusetts is one of the safest states for trans people—but multiple hospitals preemptively ended youth trans care over Trump admin threats to cut fed funding. on Wed, trans activists took their HRT at a govt office and refused to leave without a commitment to fight those hospitals.

Even in safe-haven Massachusetts, trans care is at risk. Young people are fighting to protect it
Activists are calling on the state attorney general to take action against hospitals that have ended gender-affirming care programs after Trump retook office

Hey everybody. On the 25-year anniversary, we're reprinting the much revered 9/11 edition of The Onion and sending that free to every member this month. It's been 25 long years. Look back in anger.

George W. Bush had "freedom fries," and Trump has "Lake America." Both became bad political jokes.

Lake America is Trump's "freedom fries"
Long before "Lake America," 2003's freedom fries showed how nationalism turns language into a loyalty test

Oh, for fuck's sake. If you had an "AI" generate the text, then you're not the author. "Oh, but the ideas are mine." Motherfucker, ideas aren't copyrightable, and neither is the text if "AI" barfed it out. In neither a logistical nor legal sense does the term "author" convey to you.
