Remember: They can always tell.

Except for homophobic (transphobic, but homophobic using their own framing here) men who want sexual partners that piss them off to be raped in jail. Those men can't tell and must be coddled.

She was jailed for being trans. The sentence is rape.

She's been jailed - to be raped every night.

She's in a male jail. Despite living as female since she was 13.

This is why nobody was excited about the Trump “ceasefire”. We knew it would be broken within a day.

Netanyahu’s plan is to lie to Trump’s face while Trump tries to take credit for a ceasefire that never actually happened.

#WATCH | Ceasefire? What usually happens in occupied Palestine is that Palestinians cease, and Israel fires.

Now live from Al Rashid in Rafah, Israeli forces prevent Palestinians from reaching the south via the road 👇

all glory to the portland frog and his chicken forerunner, but in the interest of historical clarity (and definitely not clout chasing) I'm pretty sure I was doing the shark costume at Tesla Takedown before the chicken guy showed up

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

They "drained the swamp" so they could pilfer more resources, if you couldn't tell. Conservatives as a rule have always been con artists first and hoarders second before any political thought is even jokingly mused.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

I wouldn't say conservatism is inherently childlike. Conservatism, specifically right wing philosophy is definitely that of the bully.

I'm serious, name a little that isn't like some sort of Anarcho Syndicalist. xD

In other news: Sylvan Adams is no longer partner to Factor & Premier Tech, meaning for the 2026 season Israel-Premier Tech will no longer be the team name. New name has yet to be announced, but might just be Premier Tech as they've been racing or Factor-Premier Tech, kinda like Lidl-Trek

The school drop-off line is indeed a microcosm of the worst driver behavior, but I'll just say that people who bike or walk regularly see selfish and violent actions everywhere on the road. If you're a driver complaining about other bad drivers, just think of how bad it is for people outside cars.

Patrick Wyman @patrickwyman.bsky.social · 3d

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

"Trump is good for the economy" Lol

Just saw to bike shop owners talking, one in the US, one in Canada.

At current exchange rates a Shimano Dura Ace crank costs roughly $850USD in Canada.

In the US under Trump's tariffs that same crank is $1,600USD

The dollar is collapsing :D

Of course the brosci bike racer podcast sees nothing wrong with a glass ceiling remaining in place, it's not just their little local crits where there's institutional disparity in payouts between the leading men's and women's pro peleton.

Hope is a thing that's hard to kill entirely because of how tied it is to cope, not to be Hegelian or anything as it's really not a binary.
