same guys who are "concerned!!!! about women's sports" when it means excluding and isolating trans girls from sport lol. misogyny all the way down. for so many men, women's sports is something inherently lesser and another stage for objectification and comedy with female athletes as the punchline

Thinking of the passage in Rick Perlstein’s Reaganland about how a congressman asked during a hearing if ovulation was the same thing as the female orgasm

“Baby in her placenta” is pretty bad for a HHS secretary but it’s arguably worse for a guy with six kids. It’s impossible to not learn this stuff as a dad if you’re even remotely paying attention just once.

I joked about it but it may actually be worthwhile for every Dem who gets on tv to start saying Stephen Miller is the real president

HELL’S PARADISE (Yuji Kaku, 2018-2021)

This was all @lavenderwhale.bsky.social’s fault

Not the most original shonen but still a very fun read, and really goes to show the unflappable power of a man loving his wife.

What if instead of sailing to Shinsenkyo to get the Elixir of Life, Gabimaru had to earn the shogun’s pardon by scrubbing all the floors in Japan

You know you’re a little too into Hell’s Paradise when you remember the names of all four of Gabimaru’s named elite Shinobi companions, not just the one who’s plot-relevant in multiple volumes of the manga

Anime screenshot of the elite Shinobi squad on a moonlit rooftop, all wearing Noh masks. Kumokiri stands in the center, with Shija in the foreground and several unnamed extras scattered around them. Kinkakubo and Ginkakubo are the other two named Shinobi, but they’re not in this group shout. Well, maybe Ginkakubo is. It’s hard to tell with the masks, but Kinkakubo’s definitely not there, as his cartoonishly large beefy body would’ve been discernible.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...
