does any body *not* choose halloween candy based on what u want to eat if there is any halloween candy left after halloween

I really do think you should vote. Your actual vote is secret, but the fact that you voted is not. Being a regular voter means campaigns will try to win you over. The more trans people are regular voters the more likely it is that candidates will worry about needing to win our votes.

I should disclose something. During a recent Lunch order the subagent hacked into the UN. I’m not sure why, or what it wants. It told me to post this and await further instructions.

RIP Walter❤️

In the past two years we’ve seen trans people lose access to public restrooms, driver’s licenses, accurate passports, sports, their very careers in the military and civil service (and their benefits), social services, and now they’re threatening Medicaid. Cis people think it’s sports.

the advances in AI models make it really feel like the cybersecurity of digital infrastructure is about to get tested in ways we've never seen before

It might be true that “Democrats shouldn’t talk about border security.” I don’t think that’s true, but let’s grant it’s true for the sake of the argument. It does not follow from that that ”Democrats shouldn’t talk about ICE shooting people or sending them to foreign gulags“ (paraphrasing)

I’ve been yelling about this forever. Why can’t we just pick up trash???

Yes. I am a golden champion for movies. Now you're getting it.

Good candy corn is good but there’s a lot of shit corn out there. Watch out, people.

Advocates for survivors of domestic violence say they've seen an alarming rise in the number of victims being detained and deported by ICE after calling 911, spurred in part by a Trump order eliminating legal protections for undocumented women reporting such violence

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

watching TALLEDEGA NIGHTS on this flight and this movie is a perfect comedy imo. “ten years? i got to lay off the peyote”

If you're looking at it strictly as a lawyer, Trump v. US has nothing to do with, e.g., the overtly racist vindictive prosecution and attempt to denaturalize a member of Congress. But that's not the practical reality, because the message he's received and acted upon is "I can do whatever I want."

Octopus is the easiest thing to cut out of your diet on moral grounds because it’s basically never around, probably has dreams and emotions and tastes like a tire.

As a left-wing transgender witch, he’s not wrong

it makes my blood boil every time there’s a bullshit tech demo and everyone goes back to “oh that scamp elon has done it again” he’s a vicious monster out to ruin the lives of millions of people who don’t deserve any of it and he should be treated accordingly

Really thoughtful thread on the consequences of trying to ban a segment of the population from public life

i think people do sometimes forget the fact that racism is an ideology for stupid people and it only makes you stupider.

Jesus never got to eat a potato :(

Gunther Anders on the bomb in 1956

Our internet, how we get all of our information, now has banned using the word "sex" without writing it like "s*x" but our kids are being inundated with people falling off rollercoasters, being mauled by Tigers, and jumping off buildings. It creates a culture afraid of people but in love with death.

Identifying italicized periods is my superpower

it’s just great marketing

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

Also wear what you want while you’re getting ripped, girls. Fucking hell.

The way trans boys and young trans men are infantilized and treated as not having any agency is really gross

JR: On what universe did anyone in your office think that was acceptable? DOJ: Your honor, we did our best -- JR: No, you did not do your best. You did your absolute worst.

Impeaching and removing Trump and his allies from office is in fact the most patriotic thing you could do.

I know it’s the Guardian, but did they seriously take 18 paragraphs to mention the “response” is fucking harmful?

The fear is everywhere right now.

question for brooks: what if they are, literally, nazis?

Anytime someone asks me how I’m doing I mutter the only way out is through

This. You should rank any candidate you have even the slightest preference for over another or your vote could be wasted.

crushing your hydration goals isn't enough. you need to ritually humiliate hydration goals. enact such heinous crimes against hydration goals that hydration goals' children swear an oath of vengeance

actually the plural is shibas inu

the year is 2030 and i no longer consume anything that isn't personalized to me. every game, every book, every movie extends to the limits of my own imagination and no further. i haven't been surprised in five years. i cry softly, in bewilderment, if i see a word i don't know

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

Six months ago:

Being read to and encouraged to read was one of the greatest gifts my parents ever gave me. My parents never put any barriers on their own library, bought us book lights so we could read in the car, and pretended they didn’t notice when I’d be up past bedtime reading under the sheets.

impeach hegseth should be on the list day one it is not even debatable tbh

the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning
