you don't have to love it but if someone with a new baby asks you wear a propeller beanie, you can just do it
A friend with a new baby asked guests to mask in order to hold her baby. A relative refused to mask & broke down in tears about her "restrictions"
As a reminder, babies <6 months have the 2nd highest hospitalization rate from Covid after adults 75+ & are too young to be vaxxed

Do these laws apply to X? Or do we essentially have a regime-favored porn app? (Even Apple won’t apply its normal anti-porn scrutiny to X…)

Actually, the likelihood is 100%. In US jurisprudence, accused people are innocent until proven guilty. Hegseth's victims were not proven guilty; they were not even tried. Therefore they were ALL, to the last man, legally innocent. Hegseth ordered the murders of several dozen innocent men.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

There are net societal benefits when wealth isn’t hoarded by individuals and resources are instead shared for the public good
The headline I feel like is that all the philanthropic donations from billionaires typically have a shitload of restrictions.
Mackenzie is like “you’re doing work to stop something horrible or to help something good? Cool. Here’s a few hundred million.” and the paper is like “wow… so novel”

Today I learned about the TikTok trend about “performative males” and basically every decade or so the Internet reinvents “metrosexual.” I’m sure that this trend and TikTokkers’ inability to behave offline will have no consequences for gay men. Or trans people. Especially not for trans women. Nope.

It is fascinating that a genuinely intelligent person like Clinton cannot fathom people just disagreeing with her based on the evidence, clearly this is a racial (and ideological) blindspot on her part, but this is true for pretty much everyone of her generation and of her particular elite cohort.

The Trump admin has paused all immigration and naturalization processes for people from one of the 19 travel ban countries; including Cuba and Venezuela.
Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.

5E gets called rules light which is when I realized the phrase doesn't mean anything outside of very specific conversations where participants are familiar with everyone else's preferences. In some circles, GURPS Lite is rules light, which is a laughable statement in other circles
But also I loathe “rules light” as a term because it tells me nothing useful
The same term is used to mean “a very few, extremely precise rules deployed very strictly for immense effect” and “idk man it’s improv-driven consensus loosey-goose pure roleplaying magic, it’s so cool”.

it’s wild how the instant you criticize waymo people come out of the woodwork to pretend we’re all throwing parties when humans kill people in cars and also to post sociopathic shit like “it’s the dog owners fault”
It’s wild how people will instantly rally against Waymo but we never see the same level of invective when human drivers kill people.
“It was an accident.”
1. Keep your pets leashed.
2. If local politicians treated human drivers killing people like this we would already have much safer streets.
