In the era of "we must exclude trans people from playing sport, for Fairness" it's actually quite sickening for various media outlets to be all "check out out, a ROBOT won a marathon!"

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

They probably asked ChatGPT.

Holy shit these kids are brave.

Effects of Tobacco Taxation and Pricing on Smoking Behavior in High Risk Populations: A Knowledge Synthesis Tobacco taxation is an essential component of a comprehensive tobacco control strategy. However, to fully realize the benefits it is vital to understand the impact of increased taxes among high-risk s...

Empirically, vice taxes work. I do not care about anything else what actually works. Note that vice taxes do not constitute an outright ban: you can get them if you want to. It just discourages it. Education is useful too, but facts are facts.

*glances over at the history of Nazis and faacistd going out and violently attacking their foes and uses the violent response to justify violent crackdowns, a strategy that consistently works*

*glances back at you*

*sighs in "those who do not read their history are doomed to repeat it"*

When it comes to the self harming hatred bigots have I always think of this quote
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you"
Lyndon B.Johnson

Sad thing is he was absolutely right. When he tried to extend the social safety net to cover minorities white people - including poor whites - went ballistic and immediately started tearing down their own safety net. Just outting acid in pools but on a national scale.

"Dreadlef Schrempf @TheLest... .1d In the NBA. if vou're trans vou have to watch from the hallways but if you have a favorite room to sleep in at Epsteins house you get courtside seats Alan Rappeport @arappeport . 1d Howard Lutnick with Sixers owner Josh Harris at the Sixers/Celtics game in Boston."

One thing that seems to be true virtually everywhere is that there's never a shortage people willing to hurt people they consider "other" or "lesser" or "polluted."

This. This is why I'm so full of rage. Poor, disadvantaged people doing their best with bad circumstance getting brutalized by a vast, hateful system. It happens every day, over and over and over again, and the people in charge ignore it or make excuses.

Just understand that is what they want, and they currently control military so, uh, before you start redacting fascists maybe read uo a little on asymmetric warfare hecause it's gonna get ugly real damn fast.

Reduces smoking. Nicotine is very addictive AND very hard to quit.

*Duck has entered the chat, er, store*

A skeleton who is on fire with a sword. The captions read: State of the world? bad. Mental health? Also bad. But still, we charge forward.

Fuck it, let's go

The image is a screenshot of a social media post featuring a comment and an embedded map from "Hedgeye." The comment, by "Clarence Thomas the Tan...," states: "If you notice you're paying more for electricity this is why." Below this, the "Hedgeeye" post displays a map of the United States, marked with bright white and blue dots representing data centers. These dots are densely clustered in the Midwest and East Coast regions. The map has a dark background, and important regions are labeled, including "United States," "Cuba," and "The Bahamas." Alt-text: Map showing numerous data centers across the United States indicated by bright dots. Transcribed Text: "Clarence Thomas the Tan... · 23h If you notice you're paying more for electricity this is why. Hedgeye @Hedgeye · 1d 🚨 Datacenters are now 7% of total U.S. power demand"

I love the idea of tattoos lighting up like Godzilla's fins letting the villain know they're about to get capital-F capital-U Fucked Up.

There's a trans-man who goes by Trans Skater Boy Wife and he's always getting people in the comments saying "lol you'll never be a real woman" and it's like "do you want me to tell him or do you?" because the morons literally don't know what they're talking about.

Most videogame women they like are slender waifus with improbably large tits and ass and basically zero muscle tone . . . and if a woman differs from that they go on a rampage screaming videogames are dead.

Mostly-cis man and same.

Skull maps and complex facial charts and collar bones and shit. It's all in the bones. The boooooooones 🤣

Probably as much as they think they can get away with, unfortunately, and the more they remove trans people from the public eye the easier it is to escalate.

I hate the phobes so much.

I hear you. I literally go months without having a meaningful conversation and even digital conversation are very short. Most of the friends I have were extroverts who dragged me out and most of those have faded away. Sucks. Sucks worse when you have things you need to talk about but can't.

to acknowledge that and maybe cknsider turning the steering wheel a little.

Though, hey, when the car crashes you'll probably be fine. It's us who are gonna die en masse, not you.

being told to stay the course and turning on people trying to tell you we're driving towards a brick wall because it's an inconvenient truth. The fact is Biden didn't do enough and the majority of Americans were worse off: it is a FACT that inflation wiped wage gains for most of us. You people need

off progressivism by making it seem that actual radical action and forceful progressivism is unecessary. Look at the shit Mamdani got offering the most milquetoast progressive platform you can imagine. You are being gaslit into lining up behind. The country is literally falling apaet and you're

Rant aside, you do understand yiu're being gaslit, right? I mean, I get it: I've been arguing that Biden did a lot of help people his entire presidency and taking heat for it but what we're seeing is an effort by the Liberal side of the Elite Class to polish the turd that is the status quo and head

Guillotines are the fail state, yeah, but at this point they're where we're headed, that or civil war, and when the history of this time is written the question is always going to be "Why didn't anyone do anything when the solutions were so obvious?"

You're all a bunch of assholes who don't care a single shit about the poor people in this country and are fine with letting us rot as we post Gofundmes for rent and insulin and car repairs. You have no plans, you no ideas, you have nothing to offer.
