Went into a shop today and the dude running it had Hollywood Teeth and omfg, however offputting they are in pics, IRL they are an order of magnitude more "inhuman beast creature, do not turn your back or enter any agreement with it"
The BBC are really going out of their way to not call these The Peter Files.
“We’ve. Been scooping voices and content for so long we got ahead of ourselves. We thought we had expanded to the point folks wouldn’t care if we did it to academics thanks to the wave of anti university sentiment. We’ll try again later”
There are automatic doors in places in my university. They aren’t calibrated for the height of a wheelchair user, and they frequently are left switched off.
Technology is only as inclusive as the people who implement it, and right now, they’re extremely…not.

Like ever 2 years, straight men find a way to reinvent masculinity with even MORE standards than the ones they already weren’t meeting and then get mad at the rest of us for not coddling them through it.
Fitting that they sent the Temu version of a cease and desist
Whether it's Democrat John Kerry asking for Swiss on his cheesesteak or Republican Donald Trump demanding a list of Jews at the University of Pennsylvania, both sides have made controversial requests in the city of Philadelphia.

This is where the real humiliation kink comes in. He asked. They lied out of vanity and we get to see how pathetic they all are.

I’m not sure it’s possible to write a review of anything more repellant to me than this.
Which obviously means I’ll be drunk and angrily watching a movie adaptation of it on a Delta flight in about two years.
MOTHERS with an ESTRANGED SON Anonymous participant • Dec 16, 2025 • 0 Any other mothers out there estranged over totally MADE UP medical nonsense?? My grandaughter was a premmie in the nicu for like 2 1/2 months this fall and my OWN ES wouldnt even let me visit becuase of "germs" which is the most rediculous excuse I ever heard. Meanwhile my DILs mother was allowed in to see the baby just fine no issues at all so dont tell me it's about safety. When I asked why this unfair crap was ok they both ganged up on me saying HER family is "taking precautions" and masking OUTSIDE like we're living in fear forever. It's 2025 for crying out loud nobody normal is masking anymore. They keep acting like I'm sick when I'm not sick at all and never was, just more lies to control people. I said if my DIL is so fragile then SHE can leave while I see the baby with my son but somehow that made things "worse" which tells you everything right there Honestly I'm done being treated like a second class person just becuase I refuse to wear a mask outside like an idiot.I told my ES I dont care what happens to the baby and I dont even WANT to see her anyway he doesnt get to boss me around or tell me how to live. This has been ruined for me. Now they arent talking to me at all which just proves how ungrateful and disrespectful they are. real nice way to treat a mother after all these years. Everything was fine until DIL had the baby. I have to be anonymous bcause of feiends seeing this unfortunately
“I don’t care what happens to the baby” v “WHY ARE THEY KEEPING MY GRANDCHILD FROM ME” fight fight fight
i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

Once on a panel for a professional conference, someone asked me if technology gives me hope for access.
I said let’s get ramps on every building first, and the tech bro manager was PISSED. People want to believe that they invented the answer to systemic issues…without understanding the issues.
