🎃👻 Tim PieeeeEEEEEEEeeeeerce 🦇🐈‍⬛

Today is the 30th anniversary of the Day that Newsweek Discovered Bisexuality. To mark the occasion, I’m going to tell you all a little story. 1/

"Journalists often use the words 'unsubstantiated' or 'uncorroberated' when referring to the allegations victims have levied against powerful men, like Trump. Instead of saying these women’s accounts are not corroborated, maybe it’s time we say they were not investigated in spite of clear patterns."

Hey I think I've found one of those illegal immigrants everyone is so up in arms about

Bryan Johnson has a weird obsession with his son's penis.

While in general I don't endorse replying to political spam texts, if you live in Massachusetts and get a spam text from Shiva, please feel free to follow my lead if you like

So this is a silly story, but for a year or two in 2013/2014 I went around telling everyone I could find about this little cryptography library called “OpenSSL” and how it was used everywhere, but had almost no developers or security budget.

Absolutely agreed. To that end: Wildwood was mind-blowingly amazing and I highly recommend seeing it on the big screen. I still can't wrap my head around how they did all of that in stop motion.

I am absolutely not fact checking this and you better not either

No, Slavoj, I do not wish to see your “intimate and embarrassing” texts with Elon Musk. Allow them to wither away in darkness like the sins against humanity they are.

You fools! I have achieved my final form and now my victory is ASSURED! No longer will I be known as Flat Stanley. From now on I am—

There is still good in this World.

Just a reminder that there is no good data to support these uses in K12, we are just testing it live all on kids who won’t ever be these ages again and can’t get them back if we fuck it up.

Nothing about this currently on the homepage of the NYT; a brief article appears elsewhere. The Washington Post hasn't run anything at all. bsky.app/profile/mari...

Add “between my legs” to a movie title: Hot Fuzz Between My Legs

A better link, as it is from the authors: "Individuals with the most negative views of women and gender equality are the most likely to support [transgender sports] bans."

i will never not be militant about trans rights cis people: demand nothing less than full, unequivocal rights for trans people and do not accept from anyone the idea that it is naive to demand it we deserve what you have

IMHO this is a very, very thoughtful and careful argument about how to respond to the anti-trans wing of the Democratic Party. The current regime has pretty much turned me into a yellow-dog Democrat, but I think I agree with this: go to the polls, vote for Democrats -- just not for these four.

seems bad for Vivek

Somehow, it seems like it was inevitable that the Star Trek cast would come down to Takei vs. Shatner in the end.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

This drives me CRAZY. I grew up playing sports w/ boys. I played on a U12 boys select soccer team, b4 switching to a U12 girls team that kept beating us. Nobody had any issue with any of it. Youth sports have never had the strict sex/gender boundaries that “XX-XY” activists are now trying to defend.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

What I picture when people ask Bluesky to increase its character count

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

[Ringing your doorbell much too early] Good morning! Have you heard the good news of Maybe It Will Happen Today?”

The Writers Guild on Musk blocking releasee of the documentary "Musk": "A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, and social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration over our news and media threatens democratic discourse."

Lana and Lilly Wachowski have the right to do whatever they want, but BOUND is a perfect movie and it is completely beyond me what anyone would want to remake about it.

This seems like a big deal

not all heroes wear capes

Listen to how much this means to Brewers fans

Crossword puzzles are much, much better than they were in the 1980s or even the 1990s. Editors really moved away from a traditional model of relying on arcane cultural knowledge and obscure vocabulary to emphasizing newer pop culture and fresh wordplay.

This is important. If you're following accounts that do all of these things, I highly recommend unfollowing them. They're just follow farmers who are spreading disinfo.

It's been over 10 years since the "detransition wave" was just around the corner. it is tremendously effective cope for the phobes.
