Trans porn was the second most-viewed category of 2025 on PornHub, up five spots from 2024. For some trans content creators, this isn’t really a surprise: trans people are hot and have always been desired—the political noise around their existence, they say, is just manufactured bullshit.

I can’t believe Dawn Staley ripped Sarah Strong’s jersey in half AND failed to shake Geno’s hand a sufficient number of times. The audacity of that woman!

The same night Kamala Harris lost, a Jewish woman won a Senate seat in Michigan and a lesbian won re-election in Wisconsin. And a straight white Catholic guy named Bob Casey lost re-election in Pennsylvania when everyone (myself included) thought he was unbeatable.

Not that fiscal responsibility is the principle issue here, but I would really love to see exactly how much taxpayer money was spent on this many agents spending this many months to redact the Epstein Files this badly.

"If someone tells you it is raining and another tells you it is dry, it's not your job to quote them both. It's your job to look out the ****ing window and find out which is true" Jonathan Foster, on journalism

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
