You are on University Avenue in the center of a nearly deserted urban campus. Closed, boarded buildings lie to the west, northeast, and southeast. There is a dormitory complex on the western side of the road, and other buildings to the northeast and southeast

Mastercard/Visa happily signing on with the “personal casino in everyone’s pocket” industry while simultaneously going scorched-Earth on consensual online sex work has really been something to observe
this has been a consistent belief of mine for at least the last year: not only must you conduct gambling with bookies, it must be done at a seedy underground bar and the bookies must be named something that tells you exactly what you’re getting into
the Vito Four Fingers Theory of Gambling
the Vito Four Fingers Theory of Gambling
I have come to the conclusion that all gambling should be made illegal again; or at the very least, must all be conducted in person at bookies.

Wow. Doing for racism here what Mark Regnerus did for homophobia (if you are not a sociologist of sexuality & thus do not get that reference, it’s basically a WILD misinterpretation of what they even initially measured in order to reach the most egregiously wrong & bigoted possible conclusion)
Welp I know what my house will be pissed about for the rest of the week.
The most violent U.S. regions — Appalachia, the Deep South and the old frontier states — are still deeply marked by a Wild West, stand-your-ground ethos, says a new study co-authored at UC Berkeley. news.berkeley.edu/2025/12/02/w...

When my oldest was a toddler she was OBSESSED with this book she had about trucks & would haul it around the neighborhood with her. I don’t remember if it was a dino/truck combo book or if the dino one was separate, but Spouse & I had a running joke “have you heard the Good News abt Truck-a-saurus”
Little guy started saying "I love dump truck. I love bulldozer. I love skid steer" just naming all his trucks that he loves. It was a lot of them.
Clearly he's fully committed to poly-tramory

And if we’re talking about other paths of masculinity - I wish to hell that League of Their Own show had focused more on the black folk like Uncle Bertie: thequeerreview.com/2022/08/19/i...
Exclusive Interview: A League of Their Own star Lea Robinson “Bertie was a part of me & I was a part of Bertie”
Some of the most moving and powerful moments in Will Graham and Abbi Jacobson’s lovingly-crafted 1940s-set series A League of Their Own, involve the gender nonconforming uncle Bertie played by Lea …

An experienced organizer I really respect once reminded folks "you can't always win, but you can always, always inflict a cost. Those add up."
You cannot match the size and resources of these organizations that are abandoning trans youth and sacrificing trans lives, but you have one advantage they do not: an ability to maintain a relentless focus upon them.
Make it your work, every week, to think about how you can punish them.

kinda seems like what happened is that Bradley correctly understood that he was being ordered to commit war crimes but did not anticipate that anyone would later distinguish between the types of war crimes he was willing to commit
But it does worry me a little bit to see military officials angry about Bradley being thrown under the bus without a concurrent acknowledgement that he did in fact commit an obvious war crime.

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

And the lie that you can leave the system of hatred in place & it will be magically resolved by the already-rich/powerful is not only dangerous, but a huge part of how we got here.
My biggest issue with WICKED: FOR GOOD is the notion that fascism magically ends once you remove the fascist leader. The reality is that the fascist leader (the Wizard in this case) exploited an existing bigotry, stoking the flames into a blazing fire that no one simply or quickly put out.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.
Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.
Shameful.
