You heard him

Bryan Johnson is a tool

Listening to a report about Google chopping down a quarter of a million trees in Finland to build a data centre while washing out yoghurt pots for the recycling

he should look up why they call it algebra

Motherfucker, you eat roadkill and snort heroin off of shit covered toilets

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Watching some Babylon 5 tonight to remember Walter Koenig. I wish he'd gotten more chances to play villains. Koenig had a great range, but he was born to play smug bastards. He was a true master of the art. RIP to a real one.

This is a chilling satirical statement and also, I believe, a real risk of allowing the idea that nebulous, unproven biological advantages should result in bans on classes of people in sports to gain purchase.

We published this story late Friday afternoon amid an avalanche of news so I’m reposting it now because Kohen Wiley’s life mattered more than a box of diapers.

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.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Wish I was this guy 🖌

Doesn't matter how great a writer she is, I'll never respect Atwood for her cowardice and elite solidarity with a man accused of a myriad abuses who has fucked with the lives of so many people I love.

EA done got Avi Lewis mad.

This guy was caught on video committing one of the worst road rage incidents I've ever seen, plowing into a group of riders—and then he left the scene. Seriously, fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for framing him as some sort of a victim. You are complicit assholes. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

you know you were thinking it

“It’s only fascism if they manipulate elections!” “It’s only fascism if they disappear people off the street!” “It’s only fascism if they take over the media!” “It’s only fascism if they jail their political opponents!” Is there even anything left?

I swear to god the administration is going down the list of reasons pundits said it wasn’t fascism and doing them all one by one

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.

Whether it’s Donald Trump asking his budget director to use taxpayer money for TV ads praising him and his presidency or Barack Obama asking for Dijon mustard on his hamburger, both men have made unusual requests

Caffeine doesn't replace lost hours of sleep, it only masks the fatigue signals to your brain so you don't realize how tired you actually are. You still suffer the cognitive and physiological deficits from the sleep deficiency, you just can't tell. Which is good actually and fine I've decided

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

If attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *inclusion*, it would be all over the Times, Telegraph, Mail etc. This last weekend, attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *exclusion*. Crickets.

I think it’s fair to say that the student journalists at Cornell are braver than the news networks who just gave up on their WH pool ban even though CNN is still being denied access. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

These kids have real balls. I hope they gut Cornell.

Many fantasy and sci-fi authors have created compelling fictional religions, but @tkingfisher.com has written the only one I actually want to join. Let me be be useful. Let me be practical. Let me find ways my skills can serve others in the Temple of the White Rat.

NEWS: I don’t like transphobes and here is a short list of why. 1) They are full of shit.

Liking things rules, actually.

transphobia is a lot more widespread than I’d like transphobia is also a luxury belief and only really gains traction when people think their lives are otherwise pretty solid it simply cannot hold a candle, electorally speaking, to “car juice expensive”

Moral panics are manufactured concerns created to push an agenda, don't hold up under scrutiny, and the fallout always harms more people than will ever be helped. Stand up for trans people.
