Husband to a gorgeous wife, father to two great kids, greying leatherfairy, infamous furry, and world-class software engineer. If you can read this, you're running code I wrote.
I have literally spoken with people who believe that sex outside of a marriage is a sin, so trying to prevent God's punishments for it is also sinful. When you ask if women should be forced to have seven children just to watch five die as punishment for Eve's sin, they don't have an answer for you.
It's estimated that 55 million Americans are infected with some form of herpes. 1 in 6 with genital herpes

In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Furries have themselves the rudiments of an entire goddamned polis. Meanwhile, Meta no longer talks about "Meta," but they're very proud of having given their Corporate Memphis-flavored avatars feet.

A rejection of "cosmopolitanism" is to believe in the eternity of war. To believe that there exists inherent qualities that separate human beings from one another to such an extent that they will always divide into tribes and always do so for the purpose of conquest.
It is anti-christ.
It is anti-christ.
Reading Marco Rubio’s speech about how “western civilization” is about embracing God, rejecting the foolish ideal of cosmopolitanism, and celebrating the genius of bands like The Beatles who were founded by the guy who wrote that song about a world with no countries or the concept of heaven & hell.

By spending time on Jeffrey Epstein's island, Howard Lutnick interacted with an immensely rich man and his harem of young girls. This perfectly prepared him to do deals with the royals of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. A masterstroke by President Donald J. Trump!

Now's the time for me to find that transwoman awkward-harem curling story I shelved years ago. It's the next big thing, I'm tellin' ya.
the ratio of how many pages of gay hockey romance I have read in the past two months to how many hard facts about the sport of hockey I actually possess reflects very poorly on me

Another example, US passports didn't even have a gender marker until 1977, when it was added because of "unisex fashion and hair styles" ie to better police gender expression

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

Unironically yes, LOWER DECKS is about how the response to the disappointments of the post-Cold War era and the complexity of the modern world should not be despair or cynicism but instead a recommitment to the original ideals of liberalism, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I always like to tell this story but during WWII, a 23 year old PHD mathematician from Harvard was able to solve the 8th Air Force’s gunnery problem in like 2 months without spending a day in the military (turns out you have to lead your target)
Hegseth to US military: if you get into MIT, we won't let you attend because of the risk that you will be exposed to ideas hostile to MAGA when you study there.

That was, and remains, the model used. Donald Trump used to openly talk about the feeble-minded, easily fooled followers of the very individuals mentioned below. Also, America is largely a hostage to conservative, Bible-based hypocrisy. Recruit a conman, suffer a conman's agenda.
"Trump has become a parody of a 1980s televangelist, openly grifting his followers for massive amounts of cash. (His ballroom is practically his own Heritage USA.) But Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart put on a more convincing show." — @playtyperguy.com
Trump is clowning his evangelical base
He's not even bothering to pretend anymore.
