when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some
There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

hey does anyone know of any examples or has experience with IRL leftist spaces/scenes that encouraged people to learn about math/hard sciences in the last few decades (so no pointing to the vienna circle, radical british scientists, etc etc)

Sanders has remained a pitch-perfect representation of a section of the socialist left that is reactionary and historically was at odds with more radical antifascist and anarchist currents.

This awful shit should have permanently invalidated him:

Sanders remains, as he has always been, a reactionary nativist.

Anarchists have been screaming about this for a decade. He's fervently pro borders and has consistently stuck to a classic class reductionist line that is directly at odds with antifascism and sees it as a sideshow or distraction.

Good news from Russia's vassal states as well

A Parallel Story: U.S. Coal Auctions Without Buyers

Russia’s implosion is mirrored — though for different reasons — in the United States, where the fossil sector is facing structural decline not from sanctions, but from market irrelevance.

In October 2025, a federal coal lease auction in Montana attracted just one bid: $186,000 for 167 million tons of coal — roughly $0.001 per ton, a 99.9 percent collapse in value versus a similar 2012 sale at $1.10 per ton. The Department of the Interior then postponed additional auctions in Wyoming and Utah, citing “market conditions.” Analysts read the signal plainly: the market has priced coal out of future portfolios.

According to the World Bank, coal prices are forecast to fall roughly 27 percent in 2025 and again in 2026. The era of scarcity is ending. What comes next is the era of technology — and it rewards efficiency, not extraction.

That shift is now visible not only in prices but in bankruptcies.
When Subsidies Can’t Save You

Russia’s coal industry has entered free-fall. Once a pillar of post-Soviet industry, it is now losing money faster than the Kremlin can rescue it.

According to The Moscow Times, global coal prices have plunged from US$400 per ton in late 2022 to about US$100 per ton by May 2025, while Russian export prices have fallen even lower — averaging US$69 FOB (Free On Board, meaning at the port before shipping), the weakest since 2020. At those levels, many producers sell below cost, and more than half (53 %) of coal companies are unprofitable, up from 31.5 % two years earlier.

Four of Siberian Coal Energy Company’s ten coal enterprises have already scaled back operations or are facing closure.

1st: only 6 in 10? Sigh.

2nd: "I'm not a king." said Trump after posting/endorsing multiple AI generated videos depicting him as a king therefore revealing that statement has to be read as "I'm unfortunately not a king."

So Windows 12 will potentially break the "every second Windows version is ok" trend by introducing even more spyware "features" than Windows 11 already has? Oh well, perhaps we actually will get the year of the Linux desktop in the next decade.

if you cannot ban government accounts the rules aren't real. any dipshit can end up in charge of government accounts.

The first thing the State Dept account did here was threaten to use Bluesky posts to strip people of visas and investigate non citizens.

That's a real threat against every Bluesky user and it's absurd the account isnt banned yet.

freedom is about having accurate models of the world so you can effectively navigate material and social terrains, empowered to make foresightful evaluations of the substantive paths before you

liberty is agency is legibility

🎵 sinister toothbrush 🏴 @sintooth.bsky.social · 3d

My biggest takeaway from Science Wars is that it feels like freedom to throw away all regard for what is true and accurate, and it feels like oppression to be told "this is the way reality is," but crucially it only FEELS that way. Liberation depends on our understanding that the opposite is true.

Did The Science Wars Take Place? The Political and Ethical Stakes of Radical Realism by William Gillis

Today, one faction of reactionaries denounce leftists as enemies of science, while another faction of reactionaries happily embrace that same role, attacking science as totalitarian. Words like “postmodernism” and “relativism” get thrown about with fervor but little clarity, echoes of a conflict from decades ago.
