Also, the flawed Athenian democracy literally fell because a bunch of xenophobic dipshits insisted on unrestrained power for their homeland and had contempt for and felt free to abuse allied states. All while facing the challenge of another, even more authoritarian power.

Meta is taking down the accounts of gay bars while not just allowing but RESTORING this type of material

As we reported the story, Meta eventually pulled down an account we shared with it that had uploaded a particularly disturbing array of AI videos that depicted children being viciously beaten and forced to eat trash, as well as many more appalling scenarios including a young girl being locked in a freezer by a kidnapper.

But after we published our piece, we were surprised to see that the account had been reinstated, along with its sickening cache of videos. We reached out to Meta to ask why the account was live again and received a curt response from a spokesperson.

Deters is the first one who should be arrested. He referenced the quid pro quo relationship in the communications. Then you try to flip him on Guilfoyle. Of course, this would likely require a DOJ that isn't firmly controlled by a corrupt President.

My theory is that these dudes get so used to people telling them how right they are that they truly believe they have the only solutions to the world’s problems, so see stroking Trump as a means to their own vision of what the world should be.

About 10, 15 years ago these people started the “was Hitler really so bad? Hitler only wanted what was best for the Germans, what’s wrong with that!?” talking point and I knew I would live to see it become the mainstream GOP position. The end of living memory of WWII is going to be ruinous.

Hey, here's a random thought: maybe all of us who are Democrats and progressives should pause attacks on each other for the next three weeks and focus on beating Republicans. I promise our arguments will be so much more interesting in January after a blue tsunami.

Look, adults are adults and they will do stupid things if they can afford it. And everyone wants to look young forever. I get it. But if we are going to shame trans kids as mentally suspect can we start discussing the mental well-being of these rich folks who do things like this to themselves?

You probably think this is a touch of hyperbole. If you do, that just tells me not only are you not paying attention, you are actively ignoring all the trans people this has happened to. This is life in the UK as a trans person in 2026.

One of the reasons public opinion on trans health care is where it is is because a lot of cis people will never ever believe just how corrupt the professional medical class running our health care really is.

I think we need to differentiate between “AI uses a lot of water!” (not necessarily bad on its own) and “AI stresses local water supplies” (a potentially real issue). The distinction is important because even “modest” use can cause serious issues, especially given the locations of data centers

The court is basically saying that knowledge of the victim being trans is potentially exculpatory for a self defense legal claim. This is explicitly greenlighting the panic defense and saying a victims trans status might excuse a murder.

It’s notable how many anti-trans activists who claim their actions are motivated by a desire to “protect women,” are currently attacking Jane Doe and defending the men who she says assaulted her. It’s almost like “protecting women” never had anything to do with it.

they always show their asses eventually because the thing is that you cannot truly, sincerely care about women if you don’t care about trans women. the minute you carve off any one subcategory of women you claim are “lesser” in some way, you’ve declared women’s rights to be conditional by definition
