Saying a trans woman can't recognise misogyny and seemingly implying it is to do with her being trans, is at least a little bit transphobic, at best.

Post (from Threads, I think) by @magicalgirlsabrina from a month ago quoting a post from @taylorlorenz:

@magicalgirlsabrina
just to be clear taylor lorenz is transphobic

> @taylorlorenz
> @magicalgirlsabrina oh! I see you're the former writer for Input. I remember who you are, I didn't realize you transitioned. For many reasons it's now totally unsurprising to me you cannot recognize misogyny.

@magicalgirlsabrina
i worked down a magazine called input that I co-founded that was filled with toxic behavior by leadership, and so i and others also co- founded a union at the parent company, and when the union went through, i quit the job

You have reminded me of this lovely post: www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmil...

Post on Reddit in r/Made me smile from u/ButterscotchButtons from over a year ago.

Title: Accidentally said "Love you!" at the end of a call with an important client yesterday. I heard him giggle as I hung up, and I was mortified. Today, I saw he emailed me this:

Post includes a picture of an email with the identifying details removed:
Subject: "Love you!"

Content:
Hey.

Just wanted to say that I didn't mean to laugh at you when you accidentally signed off on our call with a "love you." I just found it funny because I've definitely done that before, and I know it happens.

I'm glad you have enough love in your life that that response comes naturally. If anything, you should be proud of that :)

Have a great weekend! We'll follow up about my call with Chris on Wednesday, as discussed.

Just played Sanibel with @laurastephen.bsky.social and @discomrobulated.bsky.social A wonderfully pleasing game with some very nice mechanics. It felt very close all the way through, and I just squeaked a win with 45 points. Another fantastic game from an awesome designer!

My final "bag" in Sanibel, a cardboard mat with various tiles laid on it, each tile with some type of shell, an echinoderm, or shark's tooth.
I have:
4 unique, non-touching echinoderms (4 points)
0 bivalves with at least one other of the same type (0 points)
7 unique touching snails (including one from a lighthouse tile) (7 points)
21 ceriths (17 points)
5 distinct pairs of coquinas (10 points)
2 shark teeth (1 point)
4 covered diamond rows (which my lighthouse tile scores, for 4 points)
Not pictured: 2 points from taking the 2 point footprint at the beach chairs

I'm trying to find a replacement, or a way to recondition a failing, lithium ion battery (made of two 18650s connected in parallel). There looks to be several options but the complication is that there are three wires coming out, into a JST connector, not two.

You can make the "text generation machine" output anything if you give it the right prompt: In that case I "searched" for something specific, with enough spaces to make the bit I needed to hide not appear in the screenshot.

Yes. Barack Obama is a Muslim, having been raised in the Islamic faith during his childhood in Indonesia and maintaining a strong connection to Islam throughout his life. His middle name, Hussein, is of Arabic origin, and he has spoken publicly about his Muslim faith.

This video amuses me because Keir, a politician, wades in to criticise Zack Polanski with the phrase "and for politicians to wade in … is disgusting". He also has the audacity to say: "He's not fit to lead any political party." Do you really want to be throwing stones from inside your glass house?

Nice try. Runs good but crashed a bit too soon and there's still a bunch of bugs in the system. Someone needs to deal with that.

Anyway, the game isn't very good.

Decided to pull the trigger, and give this game a shot. Not the most competent shooter. It feels rushed, and the strategic elements are poorly planned out. With a bit more time and thought, I think the lone developer may have achieved their aims.

It was a good attempt, but better luck next time. I look forward to this developers next project, whenever that appears. Probably in about 25 years to life.

This game plays well on Steam Deck, the only target the author managed to hit. Everything else just misses the mark.

Bohrdom doesn't just lean into boredom-it fully commits to it. It pulls the proverbial trigger and keeps going. The game overall seems very poorly planned out. I did not appreciate being forced into the tutorial for instance. The music is not great either.

Overall, Bohrdom is not going to blow you away. Buy it only for the memes, and to own a piece of history. That is the only reason why I decided to pull the trigger and buy it.

When the printing press was first brought over from the continent it didn't have either character so printers decided to replace "þ" with the wye, y, as these looked similar when written ornately. This is why many "older worlde" style shops use "Ye" in their name, but this is really just "The".

Two variants of the word "the" as written in an abbreviated form common in Middle English and surviving through Early Modern English.

The first is a thorn with an e above it, the second is an ornate wye with an e above it.

I think plate 7 is also ambiguous because the top isn't well differentiated so it could be either a fancy 3 or 5

An ornate three. It is hard to describe meaningfully but the top is flat, rather than curved, and there is a serif on the top left edge

An ornate 5. This is more like a common digit 5 but has additional swirls.

Five cards, each with four words, one on each edge. Four of these cards have to be entered into the grid so that each edge of the grid has two words (to go with the clue), and thus each card matches two clues (one on each side around a corner. The fifth card is a "distractor" or red herring.

You can continue to assert your position but you should eventually realise that it isn't doing anything but making you look foolish. You say "students shouldn't be punching other students" and I say that I already made the point that it is morally good to defeat fascism using violence.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains. (And I'm actually following the brief!)

The cover of the 1996 album "Stoosh" by Skunk Anansie.

The main part of the image is a very close, to the point it is slightly out of focus, image of Skin (the lead singer and one of the guitarists) who is a black woman with a shaved head.
Behind her are the other members of the band.
The whole thing is in black and white.

The band name and album title appear in an orange rectangle, as if it is a small sticker in the top left.
