it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

Hey man, we cool? I just noticed that when I look at you the reticle turns red.

It will be extremely interesting to see what institutions like Fenway Health and NYU Langone do now. The ostensible reason for their ending of youth gender care is now gone - will they resume care for all the trans kids they abandoned?

I do find it ironic how we have to have all these delicate conversations about what to do about ICE when Trump and co. have executive fiated USAID, DOE, the Wilson Center, institute of peace, CFPB, and now the Forest service

While killing dozens of people in Lebanon (MOPH says 112, civil defense counts 250+, until now), Israel still found time to kill another one of our colleagues in Gaza.

One hopes images like this, when paired with the knowledge that everything we burn ends up in that tiny slice of gasses, would help contextualize why we need to move away from energy sources we set on fire.

One hopes. Climate communicators should make some hay of this.

RIP. I will never forget the police brutalizing him — and then that one cop stopping the other cop from helping him

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

it cant be said enough that all tech smart guys and billionaires thought this guy would be great and now the world economy is fucked we're like a week from gas rationing and their guy is threatening nukes.

Nuremberg was an important symbol of German nationhood so I say with 100% sincerity that this is a job for Philadelphia

Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

learning that astronauts have to use microsoft outlook in space is unspeakably depressing. we have set microsoft outlook free from the bounds of earth. polluting the stars with that janky piece of shit

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

", [and don't,] dare I say it, try and shove, like, crappy identity politics into it" Oh no, Andy Weir, No. Just No.

Please stop spreading this rage bait.

The quote everyone's angry about, about "crappy identity politics," is not from Weir.

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

And here it is with spaces for text so you can use it as a meme template:

We must believe in a world to create that world

IT’S CALLED HENTAI, COOP. NICHE PORNOGRAPHY FROM THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN. REAL WACKYLAND STUFF LIKE TENTACLES. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE GETTING A PROSTATE MASSAGE FROM AN OCTOPUS? ME TOO.

The *last* lost episode. We did it, folks.

everyone is now guided by a simple three word principle: "not me though." not me though

it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish

Cesar Chavez, a Civil Rights Icon, Is Accused of Abusing Girls for Years

When you think you're a liberator of your people and you're also sexually abusing women and girls from among those people you're demonstrating that you have trouble recognizing them as people. (And that is way too common.)

I read the NYT piece, and I am holding onto the words of a woman who fended off inappropriate advances from a 60-year-old Cesar Chavez at the age of 19. “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Esmeralda Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop.

Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything.

It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.
