There's a specific kind of NeverTrumper who is convinced that Trump is a break with Bush presidencies rather than their natural, vulgar conclusion, & you can identify them by refusal to update any priors outside of an election year, like claiming concern for Gazans is just college kids not dem base

Any "A.i." "literacy" program pushed on kids CANNOT be directed, advised, or funded by the "A.i." industry -- and it must include "A.i." QUITERACY - teaching kids how to disable and opt out and reject "A.i." Otherwise "A.i." "literacy" is just a drug pusher teaching kids how to snort cocaine.

Disabled folks have been raising the alarm about eugenics bullshit picking up steam and society largely did not listen, even during a global pandemic.

This is misogyny and anti-disability discrimination on par with old-timey doctors claiming women are prone to ‘hysteria’ and the vapours. It is unacceptable seeing this in any newspaper. UK philosophers should loudly condemn it as a whole, since it is authored by an ex-colleague. It is wrong

Why are young women using walking sticks? A disproportionate number of Gen Z females are affected by vague syndromes and may be victims of social contagion Kathleen Stock Wednesday August 05 2026, 9.00pm BST, The Times Listen • 5:42 min Share In 19th-century Paris, walking with a cane was a symbol of the dandyish flâneur, strolling elegantly around the city with an ironically arched eyebrow. In 21st-century Britain, canes are the unironic preserve of vulnerable looking girls. Sometimes you see groups of them, each leaning on a walking stick as they edge gingerly along. Startlingly fresh-faced users have been visible at Pride parades for a while, and there are growing numbers on university campuses. The message sent to onlookers is about a life spent in pain; though what kind of pain, exactly, remains unclear. TikTok has hundreds of videos on the subject: how to match your stick to your outfit, how to dance with a cane, how mobility aids can still look hot. And the trend is not just for walking aids

Harry Potter has been on the NYT Children's & Young Adult Series list for NINE HUNDRED AND FIVE WEEKS, in case you're wondering whether anyone gives a shit about giving the terf queen their money. And know that every pull to publish, fanfic, tattoo, pin, whatever the fuck keeps these books relevant.

Normally I’d be a little more cheerful during August bc it’s my birthday month, but I just kinda don’t feel like celebrating. It’s hard to celebrate when I feel like I’m waiting to die. And I’m only turning 46. Like. Lmao.

For a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? An add-on to a countertop appliance you no longer own. I still have the dough hook for my old stand mixer from before I bought my kitchenaide. Idk why.

"I used to get no respect, then I got an AI wife. Now all I GET is respect. And literally nothing else, ayy, I'm dyin' here. You can't imagine what it's like finally having a wife who pretends to respect you and you STILL can't get any."

A Rodney Dangerfield impressionist but it's all about his AI girlfriend. "I say to my AI girlfriend, 'I can't lose any weight. I tried jogging, but I keep running into restaurants.' And she gave me directions to the five closest Olive Gardens."
