that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion

it's so funny that Games Workshop went in twenty years from a company that made games you got beaten up in middle school for enjoying to now being the 67th most valuable company in the United Kingdom

incredible victory for kids who spent ages 11+ with a crust of super glue on their fingertips

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

So yeah, if you're represented by a Republican in a district that was carried by less than 20 points, tomorrow would be a good day to call and demand that the ACA subsidies continue.

4 panel comic Panel 1: Newspaper editor and two reporters gather around a desk. Editor (looking mad): We need five more articles calling trans people evil by the end of the week Panel 2: Reporter points to something out of the window behind the editor Reporter: What’s that up in the sky? Panel 3: Up in the sky we see a bat signal, but the bat is replaced by a gross pedo chasing a little girl. Editor (in a very nonchalant manner): oh my god that’s just Epstein’s kiddie-fucker signal calling all the kiddie fuckers Panel 4: Editor bangs violently on desk and yells: FOCUS

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

Offit told me that Kennedy is a "liar" and a "terrible human being." I asked him to explain. "It doesn't matter what I say," Offit said. "He thinks the medical journals are in the pocket of the industry, he thinks that the government is in the pocket of the industry, he thinks I'm in the pocket of industry, and he's wrong." Offit continued: "If he has data showing he's right, then fucking publish it. He can't, because he doesn't have those data." I asked Offit if he saw a way to reverse the public's rising distrust in science. "I don't think there is any way to regain that trust other than have the viruses do the education, and the bacteria do the education, and then people will realize they paid way too high a cost," he said.

In between housework getting some minis done, in this case for Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings. I really like this model range and the game system rules.
A plastic mini of a Windborne Djinn (a genie on a round base holding a drawn bow). The mini is sitting on a "desert" style play mat used in wargames. There are out of focus minis in the background (Space Marines from Warhammer 40k).

So the order for the US military to launch these deadly Caribbean boat strikes was straightforwardly illegal under US and international law, immoral under long established standards, and on top of that, terrible strategy.

Not maybe. Not got to check with a lawyer. Unambiguous. Blatant. Deliberate.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Seriously everything, EVERYTHING about the RFK/Nuzzi/LIzza moment is an argument for a newsroom where you pitch stories in front of each other and editors who shield you from your own worst impulses.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

There is nothing you can do about Trump calling that reporter Piggy, and that is frustrating, but what you CAN do is if you're ever around a man who talks about someone like that, shut him down. Tell him right then it's vile and wrong. Call that shit out.

“The President sent his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with a convicted sex trafficker to provide cushy accommodation in exchange for her silence on his participation in said sex trafficking” is a cold description of the facts of an insane story that the media doesn’t find worthy of scrutiny

Joyce Carol Oates may be the best poster of our time.
Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates made recently about Elon Musk. Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce....17h ... So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates- scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

The White House keeps unilaterally taking entirely voluntary actions which it openly says are intended to inflict more pain and then they're I guess surprised - along with most of the DC media - about why they seem to be taking the blame for the shutdown.

So many people who posture themselves as staunch leftists/liberals/etc, publicly fight all day on social media with bigots, but keep a friend group of the Sinister Six because they fear actual conflict.

When your activism starts outward, you're only avoiding the most important fight.

This whole Nazi tattoo dude in the Senate nonsense is revealing of a lot of white folks. Oh your friends have Nazi tattoos too? Oh it doesn't bother you at all? Oh your whole crew you been rolling with has them & y'all are all perfectly democratic? Fascinating. Taking notes.

Late to this, but if you aren't willing to stand up for trans people that puts you on the side of the villains. There is no excuse and no "strategy" that justifies it. Either stand with people under attack from the state or get out of the way so someone with a working moral compass can step up.

I'm not opposed to renting heavy machinery but they must be quiet and able to be operated in low light conditions. For the record, I don't think there's anything unethical about this, but it was recommended I post here and I'm desperate. The margarine cannot be harmed, no melting or changing its shape of any kind. Afterwards, I will dig it up and whatever is left I will need to either dissolve in some kind of acid or burn it someway that has little clean up. Thank you.
