I like that a side effect of Coyote Vs. Acme is now a lot of people are talking about Wile E. Coyote and The Roadrunner being in love. Sometimes that happens and I'm like "I don't think that's really present in the original text but whatever, go nuts" but in this case it's for sure there in the DNA

some useful context here is that all the tariffs trump has declared are collected by CBP, who then just keep them and don't turn them over to the irs or any agency where congress might assert the power of the purse.

that's all trump's money now, to do with as he pleases.
WSJ Exclusive:

The Trump admin used federal funds from the Department of Homeland Security to finance those controversial pro-Trump ads that started airing on TV.

The taxpayer money used to fund the ads came from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Exclusive | Homeland Security Money Financed Pro-Trump Television Ads
White House calls the spots public-service ads, but critics argue using taxpayer money for campaign-like messaging may violate federal law.

Nothing like the power flickering off in August when it’s still 90 degrees at midnight to wake you right up and put a little fear of god in ya. I mean I WAS going to bed but now I’m full of adrenaline from that 1 second of power loss

Tips for talking about bottom surgery w/o being an asshole:
- Keep in mind that you’re talking about the bodies of real people who can see/hear you
- If you don’t want it, just say “It’s not for me”/“It’s not my goal.” The “explaining why” part is where you start being an asshole

Sorry to share Ray Blanchard (and Ken Zucker btw) is still alive, but yes.

There is good, somewhat research-informed, patient-oriented trans health care out there, but it’s wildly unevenly distributed both geographically and even within the same clinic provider to provider.

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

We’ve had the biomedical means to completely *end* the HIV/AIDS epidemic for years now, and the primary barrier to actually getting to zero new cases is the reluctance of U.S. politicians to fund help for queer and trans people, IV drug users, Black people, and sex workers bsky.app/profile/mnol...
What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

you have to be loudly pro-pornography and you have to never shut up about it. you have to become the "they want to take away your freedom of expression vis-à-vis cocks and boobs" person to everyone you know. i'm sorry to say it but it's just how it is right now

By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Not to be the “everything is fascism” guy but the mainstream disapproval re parent/child estrangement is explicitly authoritarian. The concern is never “parents disown/abandon children” but “adult children subvert proper hierarchy by cutting off their parents, to whom they owe deference for life”

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Facial recognition + bad data protection structures + "AI" that regularly gets behavioral prediction very badly wrong + glaring holes in tech regulations & privacy laws + a stunning & nakedly bigoted authoritarian regime= a threat surface, a bottleneck, & an arm of oppressive state control, all in 1
DHS document states ICE will NOT let people decline from being scanned by its new facial recognition app - Mobile Fortify.

It is used to verify one’s identity and immigration status. However, the face photos taken will be stored for 15 years, regardless of your immigration status.

Miss Major spoke at my university’s lavender graduation and I will always be grateful to have met her. What a loss for her family and the many communities she touched over her long life.

I should probably post on here more often due to the refreshingly low percentage of actual Nazis vs Twitter, but the lack of private accounts/tiered access circles is an insurmountable barrier. There is plenty of stupid shit that I wish to post about without the entire internet being able to see
