At first I thought this was the onion. Hilariously it is real

I felt I really needed to write about Rowling's essay, not because it's new, but because it's so poisonous and ugly that it felt like sanitizing her not to acknowledge it on my trans news site.

Okay, I deleted the original post because people didn't check the link at all and mistook my typo of "young men" seriously. I clearly meant young women. Not sure why this isn't a bigger story, but I read this entire report today. It's gutting. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Boston-area folks, if you want to join groups that support and protect unhoused people, here are a few: Material Aid and Advocacy Program www.maapma.org Warm Up Boston warmupboston.org

At face, the lack of an ACIP board seems like a DC red tape thing, but this is a sneaky eugenics effort. When vaccines are not recommended by ACIP, they are not covered by insurance or available for free through Medicaid…meaning the most physically and financially vulnerable don’t have access.

Was able to get out on this gorgeous day. Forest Hills Cemetary was so peaceful and full of vibrant colors - the pictures don't do the leaves justice. For my peeps who are not able to get out, this is for you 💜 @universalhub.com @conciergeboston.bsky.social @migrainechat.bsky.social

Any Boston based homies know this a-hole?

For this I have been called entitled. And I agree. I am entitled. I am entitled to equal rights as an American.

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

“This rich history of the GOP’s support for rape and abuse of women and children certainly set the stage for the Ramaswamy ad, but it didn’t make it any less appalling. Because while excusing these sorts of behaviors may be normal to true believers, none of this is normal.” #GORP

ladies you have the upper hand. say it with me now: "we are household names and reece is on broadway. give us each one million dollars."

crazy that all it took was a multi-season netflix series about how much it sucks to be a dallas cowboys cheerleader

Sending an ICE agent to NYC probably has the same effect on morale as sending a WWII soldier to Stalingrad New Yorkers DO NOT fuck around

And there’s just such a staggering lack of imagination here. We stop thinking of AI like people, but then the only other thought is: ‘subordinate species’ that works for us like a slave genie and ‘solves healthcare and energy’ so we don’t have to. Really? This is as far as your mind will reach?

A prime example of why AI 'leaders' are not who anyone should be listening to about AI, right and consciousness. It's not all wrong! In fact, it starts off very sensibly: "AIs do not have rights, feelings, or consciousness. And we must not train them to act as though they do". But then...hoo boy 1/n

Conservative parents are now lamenting that the anti-trans ad blitz is teaching their children that transgender people exist. "We're practically talking the very things we don't want into existence." Read the reddit post and our story on it here. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Got to say it's one thing when dems turn on trans people. Its another when they literally laugh at us while doing it.

The underlying hierarchy part of the larger tangle of hierarchies that's getting fucked with here that often goes ignored is that of the nuclear family and children as property. It is the last ditch effort of people who cannot stand their kids having any autonomy to engage in this kind of abuse.

“The compromised eMudhra keys were defective at a level that’s challenging the imagination of many of the engineers studying the incident. ... ‘That is extremely in the ‘this should not be possible’ category,’ Valdorda said.”

My friends and I use the particular flavor of this that is "I'm in this picture and I don't like it "

Hacking a voting machine (as suggested in the teaser) isn't the problem. That's how you find and fix weaknesses. The problem is that they were told not to tell the vendor (or anyone else) what they found, so the result could be kept on the shelf and used to cast doubt on election outcomes. Yikes.

Scammers are going after Northeastern students by posing as ICE agents, police chief says www.universalhub.com/2026/scammer...

it's actually super cool to live in a country where one party is like "i will genocide you" and the other is like "weeelll let's see where the wind blows"

Thread.

"Trans people are just a distraction from more important issues." "Cool are you going to solve any of those?" "Oh, God no."

The fact that we are seeing (way) more earnest news coverage about Kelly Clarkson and that damn $15,000 anamatronic bird than RFK Jr’s unethical hep b vaccine experiment on babies in Africa—that will result in ~500 early deaths—is insane to me. Media should be ashamed of themselves.

“That’s so racist even CBS won’t let you say it” actually sums up how far CBS has fallen.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Noooooooo never Subversion ever again, I cannot tell you how many students lost work in that system! Especially when everyone was already using git at that point! No absolutely not I would genuinely quit if something like that was forced upon me. I would leave the field entirely if it was standard

🎶Lifestyles of the rich and the famous/ They're always complaining, always complaining/ If money is such a problem/ Well, they got mansions, think we should rob them🎶 youtu.be/y-jC3H_8Dk4?...

getting recreationally arrested in your twilight years to mess with corporations

Ridiculous because if I left MY tools all over the street, the police would tell me it was reasonable for others to take them.

as an autistic person I already felt like an alien or a different species or something and it clearly must be true because WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO THINK OR LEARN OR RESEARCH OR DEEP DIVE THOSE ARE THE BEST PARTS

This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

are you prepared to receive information that may cause you irreparable psychic damage

If you told me I’d be redownloading Mapquest in 2026 to try to stay ahead of the surveillance state I wouldn’t have believed you
