Just taking a quick poll here: what is everyone’s favourite pterosaur species or genus?

Mine are Wukongopterus, Rhamphorhynchus and Ludodactylus

The vibe shift is real if this complete psychopath in a suit is coming back around to supporting trans folks.

The wellspring of reactionary politics is people getting angry and making their whole personality about something that never happened and never will.
Ana Kasparian claims the left turned on her over her opposition to being called a "birthing person".

Ana Kasparian: "I don't have kids, I don't want to have kids, and I don't want to be called a 'birthing person', I find it super insulting."

Funny how these pieces never get written when it's trans people being purged from society but as soon as one white lady gets fired for screaming the N word, it's all "we need to better people's "material conditions and tolerate different views."
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

The repression of Palestine solidarity activism, violent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids on immigrant communities, and censorship of the press in the US mean the country's civic freedom ranking has been downgraded to "obstructed" status, the Johannesburg-based Civicus Monitor said.

ah yes, all workers should have the right to hurl racial slurs at black customers

i also believe in building a better world for workers. i also believe that all people are entitled to respect and dignity and that there ought to be social sanction for those who openly degrade others. you call me a “n*gger” to my face and i am not going to smile and shake your hand.

I don't care enough to count but I'd bet he's also in the top 5 for vetoing pro-trans legislation.
Now that the GOP is attacking him as being too pro trans, Newsom is pushing back. Hmm.

re: Newsom

Let him be a nuisance, but leave it at that
Do NOT let this transphobic, homeless-abusing POS near the White House.

We're three years out; Democrats have many better options. By all means, allow Newsom do his shit-stirring shtick, but keep it as a sideshow feature only.
BREAKING: Gavin Newsom just went into Houston, Texas of all places and brought the house down.

This part of his speech gives me chills.

Newsom is a monster.
Here's where that quote that the GOP is pushing came from: yesterday's Ezra Klein podcast. Newsom brought it up unprompted. Doesn't really say what he believes, but seemed to want to get on the record as slightly less antagonistic to trans people.

1. In exchange for her NDAA vote, MTG has announced that her national felony trans youth care ban will go to the floor December 17th.

It is not expected to pass into law due to the U.S. Senate.

Still, it will be a terrible historic moment for anti-trans bills.

There's a GoFundMe for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and although it seems to have been re-directed to an immigration charity, I still made a donation today.

What I would really like would be to shower this man with reparations and make it so he wants for nothing for the rest of his life.

How many pieces came out in the New York Times and the Atlantic accusing trans people of erasing the word woman. Here's the Trump administration literally banning the use of the word and not a peep.

I would encourage people in the UK to complain to the BBC about unquestioning platforming a person who uses transphobic slurs on trans healthcare.

If they do not get a satisfactory response, escalate the complaint to Ofcom.

I'm deeply concerned about the wellbeing of prisoners who were involved in Palestine Action protests, and are currently on hunger strike.

Some have not eaten for six weeks. A number have been hospitalised. They are all being held on remand - without trial or conviction.

For many years, paleontologists have debated whether the single skull used to define the species Nanotyrannus belonged to a separate dinosaur or represented a young Tyrannosaurus rex. That question has now been resolved.

Scientists Confirm Nanotyrannus Was Fully Grown Not a Baby T. rex
New research has overturned decades of uncertainty by showing that Nanotyrannus was a fully grown predator, not a juvenile T. rex.
