I have never watched The X Files so I don't have nostalgia for it but I started watching it and let me tell you something: It's objectively excellent.

One thing we should all take note of is cishet white men eulogising an abuser because he too was a cishet white man They are telling us *exactly* who they are and what they believe about survivors and women in general

That's just the tip of the old, demented, low IQ, moronic, shit stained, draft dodging, cowardly beta bunker-bitch, lying, corrupt, criminal, racist, rapist, traitor, pederast, misogynist, con-artists, mass serial pedo-rapist, Nazi Iceberg I'm afraid....

The president is a rapist and a pedophile who ran teen beauty pageants and was best friends with Epstein and he’s fine with men beating their wives and he lost a war and raised all your prices and stole billions of dollars but 34% of Americans still think he’s peachy keen because they’re racist.

A black-and-white photograph of the pathbreaking American historian of science, Margaret Walsh Rossiter (1944–2025), renowned for coining "the Matilda effect" and documenting the buried history of women in science. Seated in an indoor setting with a soft, blurred background, Rossiter is positioned from the waist up, facing forward with a warm, open smile. She has short, curly gray hair and wears dark, thick-rimmed glasses. She's wearing a light-colored, long-sleeved shirt patterned entirely with small, dark polka dots. She holds a heavy, open book resting on her lap or desk, her left hand steadying the right-hand pages while her right hand rests on the left-hand pages, lightly gripping a pencil. The overall composition is intimate and studious, casting her as an approachable yet deeply focused scholar. The mood is intellectually vibrant and welcoming, reflecting a life dedicated to uncovering the truth.
