I'm old enough to remember when they started playing commercials before trailers in theaters. People older than me were offended by it, I didn't think it was a big deal, but I should have listened. We should have held the line. I should have listened.

I believe strongly anymore that it is the responsibility of every denizen of the Internet to keep it cool, human, and to make it weird wherever possible. The past days of the computer being cool might be behind us, but that doesn't mean that we can't carve out cool niches today, imo

"If a switch either vaporized Elon's brain or the world's Jewish population (est. ~16M). . . I'd vaporize the latter, as that's far below my ~50% global threshold (~4.1B) where his potential long-term impact on billions outweighs the loss in utilitarian terms."

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

You can publicly be the most cruel and vile person imaginable saying the most heinous stuff and it's all acceptable if the target is trans or an ally. It's a pass for horrible people to do whatever they want.
I thought I could not be shocked by what prominent transphobes feel able to say about me. Turns out I was wrong.

Here is Richard Dunstan, a prominent commentator closely associated with the Sex Matters charity, speculating that I enjoyed being sexually assaulted as a child.

My dream for the post-Trump backlash is that the USA signs the treaty that puts American administrations under the purview of the Hague when it comes to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Yeah, we never signed that treaty. Stephen Miller currently can't be put on trial at the Hague.

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.

This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.
