Christians should be banned from playing sports. Jesus provides them with additional strength, which gives them unfair advantage.
This is EXTREMELY bad

the thing Star Trek got most correct is that, if advanced sentient life exists, we will fuck it immediately and some of us will be marrying into the species within a year

since he's making the rounds again, it's probably a good time to re-share my post from last year that shows how DHH has been a racist shitbag (and, yes, actual fascist) for a long time now
david celis@davidcel.is · 11mo agoAges ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.
i think it's important for people to remember that puberty blockers *were* the "moderate, compromise" position.
150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.
Despite the whining about “ historical accuracy,” the racist backlash to the casting in Nolan’s Odyssey is about the right wanting to justify racial hierarchy by projecting it into a past where it did not actually exist. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
“Oh, did a sportsball happen?” I whisper smugly from my vantage point on a distant cliff, the sounds of celebration in the village far below just barely audible over the lonely wind whipping my tattered cloak
Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

I think cis people want to imagine that this whole situation has nothing to do with them … but that’s just *fantasy* folks. Whether or not I get treated like total shit by my society will impact the rest of you, as well. Here again is my new human rights manifesto, Transgender for Everybody:

I’m going to get back offline and take care of myself today but I just wanted to say I listened to A Love Supreme for the first time and I feel like I heard a snuff tape where the victim was a saxophone

Those who build walls are their own prisoners. I'm going to go fulfil my proper function in the social organism. I'm going to go unbuild walls.
Lewis: What was actually achieved? Iran is no closer or further from getting nuclear weapons today than when the first bombs dropped. The Obama nuclear deal, which was achieved without a single life being shed, without a single bomb being dropped, was much more effective at securing that policy aim.
I'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A. As I posed the question, the speaker shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable. What he said next shocked the room +
I spent an extraordinary couple of hours with Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen, the great Sámi singer and activist. This is her story (of combating racism, preserving language, belting out electro-pop floorfillers, and being regularly hauled off by the police): www.thelineofbestfit.com/features/int...

(I'm not saying you all have to be trans, but you should at least be cis on purpose, and not just because it's the default)
I hate the whole framing of the "putting trans kids on hormones" debate CIS KIDS ARE ON HORMONES TOO. They just came free with their puberty. It's the same hormones, as well. And if the kid is intersex in a way that means their body doesn't make sex hormones, guess what we do? PUT THEM ON HORMONES
No cops at Pride includes the cop in your head who tells you to police other queer people. Learn the difference between being uncomfortable and being harmed. Deal with your discomfort on your own time. Pride is for the community, not just you.
