1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.

An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.

It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

At this point the hate has gotten so silly, it kinda seems like it could be a coordinated thing. If I were an extremely talented movie star, I would also have an ego lol

Okay hear me out but what if instead of going to war, we cancel daylight savings time and go back to the correct time system right the fuck now?

I am personally willing to award Donald Trump the "Perkin Presidential Participation Trophy" for this act.

Haha the chews I nibble at are 12, and when I first got them, I took a whole one. I was so jacked up

What was the dosage?

Most melatonin sups come with *insane* doses because people who take melatonin regularly have lost their sensitivity to it
I bought a little thing of melatonin shoes forever ago, and when I use them very occasionally I take a tiny little nibble off of one, and it does the job

Noon is when the sun is in the middle of the sky!!!! DST is abomination!

Pixar CCO Pete Docter says they removed gay elements from ‘ELIO’ after finding some parents didn’t want entertainment forcing conversations with their kids they weren’t ready for.

“We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy.”

This is an astounding and irresponsible and obvious lie by the Commander in Chief. This feels like another unthinkable red line crossed.

“Two People Exchanging Saliva” Rewrites the Slap in Cinema Alexandre Singh and Natalie Musteata’s film is set in a dystopian version of Paris where kissing is forbidden and purchases are made through small acts of violence.

As naturists, we need to reckon with the fact that the barrel of 101-level conversation topics is truly empty and continuing them serves no purpose other than to fill the air with words.

And unlike Clinton, she did not get more votes than he did

CBP puts the blame on legacy IT systems. To be blunt, while these problems may be completely valid, this is entirely the fault of the government.

Automatic flush toilets are so wasteful. it pisses me off so much. I can't take a shit here without it flushing 3 times randomly, and then when you press the button it won't flush for some reason. Why did we universally switch to this

So, tangential to the situation at hand, but:
1) stable pseudonyms that people are invested in promote good behavior better than real names; and
2) historically, nudist organizations have had first-name-only etiquette because that made it safer to take part in a legal but stigmatized activity.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at "Homeland." Serving 10 years in the United States House of Representatives, and 3 in the Senate, Markwayne has done a tremendous job representing the wonderful People of Oklahoma, where I won all 77 out of 77 Counties — in 2016, 2020, and 2024! A MAGA Warrior, and former undefeated professional MMA fighter, Markwayne truly gets along well with people, and knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Advance our America First Agenda. As the only Native American in the Senate, Markwayne is a fantastic advocate for our incredible Tribal Communities. Markwayne will work tirelessly to Keep our Border Secure, Stop Migrant Crime, Murderers, and other Criminals from illegally entering our Country, End the Scourge of Illegal Drugs and, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. Markwayne will make a spectacular Secretary of Homeland Security. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP 865 ReTruths 2.64k Likes Mar 05, 2026, 1:41 PM

NEWS: President Trump says Sec. Kristi Noem is out at DHS.

Trump also says that Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin will be his next nominee for secretary of DHS, although Trump doesn't word it that way.

Finally, he says Noem will have a new federal role in a new initiative soon to be announced.
