The only way anyone could possibly read this as suggesting “trans ideology” is if they were predetermined to reach that conclusion. Which suggests pressure to conform ideologically is making law enforcement worse at their jobs.
Per the press conference, the actual inscriptions on the casings are:
"Notices bulges, OWO whats this?"
"hey fascist! Catch! Uparrow, right arrow, three down arrow"
"O bella cao, bella cao cao cao"
"If you read this you are gay lmao"

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

@wnba.com FIX YOUR SHIT! The reason so many of your star players are currently injured is because your officials DON'T CALL FOULS. You have the worst referees in professional sports and the only action you've taken is to fine players who tell the damn truth about it.

I think I've been misled about how #tariffs work. With Premier League season coming up, I ordered a Liverpool hat from the LFC store. It was $13. Imagine my surprise when I received this message from UPS saying I owed them money for taxes and fees upon delivery. Why isn't the UK paying this?

So I've been pretty happy the last month or so. This following a severe bout of depression that was so deep I thought I might not make it out. So I changed some things. First I stopped looking at this site. Second on the urging of a dear friend I tried internet dating. Both were good moves.

I found myself feeling great anxiety as to the conflict between India and Pakistan last night. But then remembered, there is absolutely nothing I can do to control what India or Pakistan does and obsessing about it takes away from those things I can control of my life.

the entire "debate" over birthright citizenship exposes more than anything else just how many bad faith actors the legal academy has allowed to be embedded within it. now your precious intellectual debates are being eaten alive by a bunch of power-hungry bigots who do not give a shit about debate.
I am very confident that anyone who is not precommitted will see who won this debate. Don’t know what “bullying tactics” are but I know Tim—or at least thought I knew him— and this is deeply disappointing.

yes, how dare a retailer break out taxes from other expenses on the receipt. this sort of thing has never before been seen in America.
White House says Amazon's decision to desplay tariff-based price increases on products is a "a hostile and political act by Amazon," who they accuse of working with "a Chinese propaganda arm."

And I promise you: MAGA’s will repeat this as if it’s the truth. You will not be able to convince a MAGA this isn’t true.
TBH scariest possibility here might be that he actually believes it. This is simply not going to happen, not even close.
If he's blustering like usual and retreats, some damage can be undone.
If he believes it, we're trapped on this difficult course until he realizes he was wrong. If he ever does.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, we would like our Senate back. Since you aren't using it, that is. Why don't we give your seat to someone who will. Seriously, resign you absolute schmuck.

in 25 years with ten trillion dollars invested AI will not be nearly as useful as the flare on the bottom of butt plugs
There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.
I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.
Thoughts?
