Whether it's Kai Trump spending $230 on a smoothie and some bottled water at an Erewhon in Santa Monica or Kat Abughazaleh spending 12 bucks on fried shrimp at a Culver's in Chicago, young women on both sides of the aisle are making extravagant purchases.

Gambling has been added as a feature into so many apps that GitHub is getting on board. I get to gamble at whether or not my PR actually includes the changes I made.

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

The submission review page is getting some polish! I haven't decided between "star" reviews and "yes/no/maybe". Any preferences out there?

Screenshot of the Galley literary journal CMS submission review interface. The submission is titled "Three Poems: Bilingual Identity" by Nadia Kowalski (nadia@writer.test), submitted February 10 with 1 file and 89 words. The left panel shows a file preview of "field-guide-to-leaving.docx" with partial poem text visible, a "Download originals" button, and an activity log showing the submission was received February 10, assigned to reviewer Sarah Kim on February 11, and reviewed with 3 stars on February 12. The right sidebar contains a "Your Review" section with a 5-star rating input and notes textarea with a "Submit Review" button, a "Status" section showing the current status as "In Review" with buttons for Shortlisted, Accepted, Rejected, and Received, and a "Reviews" section showing a 4-star review by Sarah Kim with the note: "The bilingual texture works beautifully. 'Don't lock it / You're not that kind of gone' is a killer closing. This poet has something." The average review score shown is 4.0.

If I were Secretary of Transportation, I would spend every waking moment recruiting air-traffic controllers, increasing their pay and benefits, getting them in-house massage therapists, forcing airlines to stop increasing flight traffic. Sean Duffy, however:

Imagine waking up and your government ID has been declared invalid. It’s now illegal for you to drive, or do anything else that requires government ID. You had no warning. You can be arrested if found driving. That’s life for trans people in Kansas now.

On Polymarket you can now bet on how many people in a different market on Polymarket think Jesus Christ will return in this calendar year. 29% of bets say that more than 5% of bets in the Jesus Christ return market will be a "yes" 9 days from now. Anyway everyone involved in this needs jailtime.

ICE just executed another person in the street in Minneapolis. They already had him subdued and beaten. No need to seek out the video. It’s bad. Watching closely to see if any of our leaders here do anything but express dismay. And that does not include siccing “our” police on protesters!
