If you see treating trans people as a category of humanity to be removed from society and forced into extinction as a policy preference, YOU'RE missing the big picture. It's no different from Ferdinand and Isabella forcing Jews and Muslims into being other than who they were. It's a form of genocide
And if you refuse to give someone credit for standing for liberal democracy just because they don’t agree with your policy preferences, you’re missing the big picture. www.thebulwark.com/p/why-marjor...

In his veto letter, President Trump blamed the Miccosukee Tribe for having “actively sought to obstruct reasonable immigration policies that the American people decisively voted for when I was elected.”

Trump vetoes Miccosukee flood protection, citing tribe’s opposition to ‘Alligator Alcatraz’
The Miccosukee Tribe’s lawsuit contesting an immigration detention facility in the Everglades cost them federally funded flood protection, at least if President Donald Trump gets his way.

The militias have been TOO quiet, they’ve already been relaunching themselves in the shadows. None of this is good. Keep an eye out for any national guard/military base/police storage break-ins. They make me 30x more nervous than the Neo-Nazis and white supremacy groups

The shift from "sir this is a Wendy's" to "just put the fries in the bag" indicates a cultural rightward shift; whereas the former is making fun of someone by implying they're a customer doing too much, the latter is making fun of someone by implying they're a *worker* & should know their place

never ask what your 20th century french fav thought about politics or age of consent laws
between brigitte bardot and polo & pan, 2025 was the year that americans re-learned the most important possible lesson about the french: the cooler and sexier a french person is, the more likely they are to be deeply problematic

I feel like every few years people find out that Jon Stewart is kind of mean and sucks, and it's always a big deal, but in all honesty these traits (being mean; sucking) are shared by 98% of professional comedians

tech workers should unionize and organize is that they have a position of unparalleled leverage in the global economy and they can use that to make the world a better place

but they should also do it bc the crashout by CEOs and VCs in response will make for amazing Content

Yes, based on my entire life experience I fully expect centrists to fully embrace the lady who took Maining Zangief way too seriously
We need to appreciate how outrageous the last few years of congress have been. We have sex traffickers, fascist handjob enthusiasts, literal Weekend at Bernie’s shit, a mf whose WHOLE BODY keep seizing up, a guy people can’t recognize with a mustache & even a fuckin Zangief cameo like Wreck-It-Ralph

I hate admitting it, but Google AI overview has helped me exactly once. With just a description, it directed me to the anime Frieren.

Perhaps semantic search has value. If only I could toggle between that and operators working, stemming being the main query expansion, SEO being less prominent, etc

🎄 New paper! 🎁

Since the 20s it's been said that "the Hadza don't use traps". Except sporadic snaring, none have been reported. So I was excited to find baited cage traps in use. More exciting, this was cross-cultural transmission — seldom seen in action!
