Congrats Ken Jennings on being such a big trans ally that you got a trans woman to deactivate because you couldn’t do the bare minimum and apologize or ask your fans to leave her alone.

Gwen deactivated 😔

These trains always gave me a mecha vibe. I think of Eva Unit 02.

Are you saying the DOJ withdrew that pool vandalism indictment… upon reflection?

I've never understood how some men are perfectly content to walk around smelling like mildew all day. You could just, ya know, rewash your clothes or get up and put them in the dryer on time.

Ken Jennings getting ratioed for his very weird choice to try to clap back at a trans woman who was literally just begging people to stop supporting the Times and other media that's actually trying to get trans folks sent to summer (and fall and winter and spring) camp is... a thing. wtf dude.

This may be true of others but I actually got express permission from the trans community to keep NYT games and recipes. I also have a news subscription, which is arguably worse, so I had to specifically send in a written request. Took 30 days but I got approved.

There are not really sufficient words, especially at 5am, for this level of reprehensible evil.

I suspected this is what has been happening with our backlist recently, seems I was right. We’ve sold an unusually high number of very old titles in the past few months, including old journal back issues with poor metadata www.news.com.au/technology/o...

Anyway here's a new movie starring Jared Leto being a creep. Or... How Jared Leto will come out as gay/trans and pretend it's all ok, aka pulling a Kevin Spacey.

As a former federal sex crimes prosecutor (DNJ: 2001-04), I applaud the BBC for this deeply-reported expose of Jared Leto’s abuse of underage girls and other women. I stand in solidarity with the survivors of his criminal acts. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Call me crazy but I'll take the guy who didn't get rocked in the face by his neighbor for being an insufferable dickhead.

to be perfectly clear, every time you buy one of these shitty donuts, more money goes into the 'oh goody me, how magical to delight in doing active and ongoing harm to trans people' bucket. we don't enrich TERFs, pals. nostalgia is not a virtue - we very much know better here, now, today.

Critics slam Tim Hortons Harry Potter promotion as anti-2SLGBTQ+ | CBC News

Tim Hortons has announced a new Harry Potter promotion, but the reaction online has been anything but magical.

But it's been shown on numerous occasions that people with beyond sketchy records were not only hired, but actually encouraged not to fully comply with background checks which were treated as a formality. Anyway, the backpedaling begins, I guess.

Medics and law enforcement responded Tuesday to a crash south of Durango where a pickup truck driver – suspected of impairment – allegedly bumped several road cyclists and seriously injured one.

But whether or not he was well-meaning, the fact is that P.H. Nargeolet’s presence lent legitimacy to OceanGate’s operation. His name drew people in, and kept them there. And some died with him. When people told me I was a reason they were staying on Xitter, I knew it was time to go. Don’t be P.H.

An allistic woman with a tragically autistic nephew has reportedly been left “angry, scared and without assistance from appropriate authorities” after a group of autistic creatives have made an audio sitcom about autistic people that’s actually FOR autistic people.

This is the bike of one of the cyclists who was "bumped" by the pick-up truck driver. This sort of language is one way that media outlets downplay traffic violence.

It certainly is.

"But there weren't even Black people in Europe then!" My brother in lazy racism, may I introduce you to the literal Count of Monte Cristo, Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, father of the author of The Count of Monte Cristo. Alexandre based the stories on some of the exploits of his father.

Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 2w ago

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

If anyone has any leads on any NY area based roles, ideally Microsoft systems admin, IT Management, Technical Leads or similar, give me a shout please.

Oof. From an email from the 92Y on Tisha B'Av, that last part stings. "...as the sun sets, we lower ourselves — literally, onto the floor or low seats — and we read Eicha, the Book of Lamentations. We read it by candlelight, in the ancient, keening trope reserved for grief."

More than this, excluding trans women and girls is a perversion of the historical purpose of women's sports The purpose of women's sports was not to give women a chance to win It was to give women a chance to play sports AT ALL

Plain Simple Natalie 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🦀@nattygo.me · 2w ago

For the sake of argument, lets concede that EVERY trans woman or girl is better at sports than EVERY cis woman or girl That still does not justify why it is UNFAIR for trans woman and girls to compete as women I think this is the key point we need to hammer home on this issue at every opportunity
