stressing???? everyday???? about???? my???? future???? yes yes

Every time I write a critique of the New York Time's coverage of transgender people, people always tell me, "submit a letter to the editor."

I have, multiple times.

I don't think people understand how averse the NYT is to publishing a trans person.

It's almost frustrating that people ask me to.

This is spreading all over Bluesky today and is wildly misleading--it is from eight months ago and it is in reference to working with NATO allies and arming Ukraine.

Unbefuckinglievable. “It’s not because she’s not doing the job,” Le, a married mother of three, said of her decision to challenge Omar. “It’s just for what I could bring to the table.”

I can't 🤣😭

Report Confirms Columbia Ignored Decades of Doctor’s Sexual Abuse Columbia commissioned the report after ProPublica’s investigation into how the university protected former OB-GYN Robert Hadden. The school also announced the resignation of two top doctors who were i...

NEW: Decades after patients first warned Columbia University that one of its doctors sexually abused them, the school is acknowledging a culture of silence that allowed the abuse to continue and some school administrators are finally facing consequences.

Incidentally the “Gaiman is autistic” defense these people use is not only very insulting to autistic people, who understand consent, but is … a little implausible given that he’s an incredibly emotionally skilled person! That - and talent - made his career: LBJ level social skills.

they have been paid for their work. The only person you're supporting by engaging with his work is Gaiman. You're keeping him culturally relevant. I know it's hard for you to not mindlessly consume something you like but when you watch Good Omens just know you're helping him promote his new book.

these writing apps usually suck and i don't recommend them unless you're an 11 yo. they are incorporating AI because they've only ever cared about grammatical structure, which makes writing sound like dog shit.

a neil gaiman defender contests a response of 'no' to a link to a substack, and is told 'I see that like Neil Gaiman, you don't understand that no is a complete sentence'

you want to see a murder

You have to make it to fall if you want that hour back

AI is an existential threat to all that is good about humanity

The problem is, everyone I’ve spoken to in MAGAworld content creation — comms staff, influencers, whomever — knows their identity. In off-the-record conversations, people will simply tell me their name as soon as I ask the question, as they’re familiar with the memelord’s style from interactions in the disappearing MAGA group chats. (I do have to pause for a second and acknowledge that the meme zoomers have better opsec than the senior officials who did Signalgate a year ago.) But the moment I ask if they’d be willing to go on background about it — surely they aren’t Nazis, and shouldn’t they call out behavior in their own ranks? — sources immediately clam up. If I prod, they’ll shrug it off as everyone’s just having fun.

So @tinanguyen.bsky.social has spent weeks trying to identify the person at DHS who posts all the racist memes, and instead uncovered a fascinating code of silence: everyone in Trump's Washington knows who it is, but refuses to say. Gift link! -> www.theverge.com/column/89298...

Whenever I go to the dentist, I always remind him that I didn’t consent to a cavity search. Never gets a laugh.

You know the Barron bought oil story is the good stuff because it came from an X account that used to have the display name “AndrewTateTristanTate” and was popularized by a Facebook page by a content-farm guy who also publishes stories about Chinese dick sucking machines.

All bogs are good bogs.

It takes a certain kind of…narcissistic nihilism to look across the country at people self-organizing against something that is generally a fairly good material symbol of the intangible class warfare that has alienated them and say, “what a silly distraction from what *really* matters.” And yet…

It's like they're trying to speed-run all the reasons Kissinger is finally in hell

My drive into work was surprisingly snowy. Temperature dropped from 39° to 32° as I headed north. And we're supposed to have below-zero wind chills next Monday. Lousy Smarch weather.

Who called it a leisurely day in the countryside instead of a rustic loaf?

New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work The new review has led to a ban for HRT through the NHS England system under the age of 18.

If you've watched how NHS England - stuffed, as Kemi Badenoch explicitly told us, with her handpicked transphobes - does trans* healthcare you can't be surprised by this from @erininthemorning.com.

But still, it's an important service to see her lay it all out.
