* U.S. SENDING FRESH AIRCRAFT CARRIER TO MIDDLE EAST AMID IRAN WAR STRAIN -- WSJ @reuters.com

I was lying in bed and my cat came to me for pets and affection... but she licked one of my nipple piercings 😖

just saw knuckles holding a sign that said "i need a bat bitch" what could this mean

bluesky is dying, and only you can save it! now take off those pants and get stroking, soldier! no, now that you ask I don't get how this helps either!

For @ms.now, I wrote about the new Medicaid rule on payments for gender affirming care for trans youth and talked a little bit about the teen trans girls' suicide that initially prompted the Obama admin to begin covering it years ago. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Opinion | The Trump administration is cutting life-saving care for thousands of teenagers — and calling it ‘protection’

The Trump administration has maintained without evidence for years that providing gender-affirming care for trans youth is harmful to kids.

We could, and just hear me out, not give a fuck about able bodied persons receiving the benefits of accommodations. This is actually what we should do about it: nothing. Not a fucking thing. supposed "grift" is only a problem in a world looking for an excuse to deny accommodations.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Today has been kinda an amazing day for guys in positions of power saying “ok but here’s the thing: I’m evil? I’m an evil man? I’m not sure what you don’t get here.”

There have reportedly been multiple attempts by sailors to jump overboard the USS Abraham Lincoln as poor conditions and mental stress reach a breaking point. The crew is in its ninth month at sea, and has spent 250 days consecutively without making land, a record

also what happens to union voice actors who literally fought to not have their performances used for training data?

What happens if a creator streams your game and is opted in? Does Twitch think it has the right to feed a developer's game into its AI slop factory? This has deeper ramifications than it seems on the surface.

The cruelty is the point: "moldy showers, broken toilets, laundry down for weeks, long stretches with no hot water, a meal that came down to half a cup of rice and two tortillas. No soap, deodorant, or toothpaste"

God, imagine having no scruples like this. Imagine thinking fucking over your user base with predatory features is so okay you can say that out loud on stream as part of your job. What a vacuous, horrible person working for a company that openly wants to harm their users against their will.

I love that they chose the creepiest, most radioactive-looking example they could. yeah it's just a regular, miniature human organ, you know, like the organ that produces glowing zombie venom?

Can we put a moratorium on the word “woke,” please? It is surreal to see a term from AAVE get turned into a reactionary term for “anything left of Nazis” and then see journalistic publications use the fascist version of the term as if it is a meaningful political ideology and not an internet insult

Please please share or help if you can. The washer is fully broke, and I need one ASAP.

Hey, so actually my washer is on its last legs (it is SUPER unbalanced and literally rattles the whole apartment) If y'all could be so kind as to help so I can wash my clothes. Because I also have no car to get to a laundromat if it breaks 😮‍💨 It's crowdfunded, so anything helps. 💚💚

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

theverge.com

I think it's funny that for decades Harry Potter fans where the common punching bag of every type of online edgelord then JK Rowling came out as a transphobe and suddenly every rightwing chud starts defending the franchise when five years before they were mocking its fans as limpwristed soyboys.

We should really work together, hand and hand, to focus all of our community’s poorly-suppressed and totally ruthless bullying energy on the single demographic we all agree actually deserves it: Harry Potter Adults in the year of our lord 2026

*reading your takes* not posting is actually so important. not reading posts is praxis

committing adultery??? I dunno... that sounds awful culturally appropriative of italians

Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

I told a Zoomer friend that I don’t under this idea that Gen Z isn’t fucking since all my Zoomer friends fuck (not infrequently for money) and he was like “yeah but you live in Slut City”

oh my god we get it already, you're all horny for aoc. so am I, but you don't see me posting about it! except right now, when I can disguise it as criticism to maintain a false sense of superiority!

Okay I'm sorry for being vain but my ass looks ridiculously good and someone should be grabbing it like basically all the time
