Im Lucible

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

i constantly think about this post

being a trans woman is experiencing most everything cis women experience but certain people feel total free reign to openly fetishize you and ask you about your genitals and harass you while implying you’re the one who’s the pervert

Great stuff

not to be the flyspeck nyt copy as if it's the most important thing guy, but seriously wtf is this?

Just in case for SOME REASON no one's sent this yet @edzitron.com - even people who want to believe in the industry are becoming skeptical... www.thealgorithmicbridge.com/p/im-losing-...

Can’t stop watching Portnoy getting CLOCKED by a slice of pizza. It’s incredible.

This is the second time this woman (“Britain’s strictest headteacher”) has claimed there’s a secret school in London she won’t name that has replaced Shakespeare with me. It’s complete bullshit of course but why’s she so obsessed with me

This essay was basically preaching to the choir for me, but recommended as a good articulation of why certain alignment work is flawed (and potentially self-defeating) nostalgebraist.tumblr.com/post/7857667...

twitter has been a very useful propaganda network for the right unde elon musk because they’ve managed to convince most of america that LA is burning down entirely when waymos were the only casualty. just super bleak state of the world that the right controls all media

The fact that trans people are a tiny minority asking for mostly incredibly cheap and unobtrusive accommodations must be utterly obfuscated in the UK. There's well placed people in our media and political class whose self image as liberal and tolerant cannot survive acknowledging this basic reality.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

It's so incredible to still see the left accused of moral relativism when every conservative column is just 'yes all of our leaders are bad but the people calling them bad sometimes exaggerate.'

it’s insane that having empathy is becoming a political liability for so many americans

he may have condemned thousands if not millions to death but you have to admit he produced a truly stupid car and is obsessed with moving to a planet where nobody hates him

british political parties will really be like 'you really believe in maintaining the uk's high-skills economy through a large universities sector? that pales in comparison to my solution, rebuilding all the industries we completely destroyed' and then not rebuild any of those industries

Trump: "We're not looking to make sneakers and t-shirts. We want to make military equipment, we want to make big things. We want to do the AI things with the computers. But the textile -- you know, I'm not looking to make t-shirts, to be honest. I'm not looking to make socks."

£20 million is about 0.0117% of the NHS budget (going from the £171 billion figure from here www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-...). All this fear mongering is for a small group of people doing scant harm and really not costing us much, just trying to live their lives. The UK Press should be ashamed.

Watch the introduction to #trevorphillips this morning - Nigel Farage being painted as the champion of the working class. Except Farage voted against strengthening workers rights just a few weeks ago. But Phillips doesn't worry about facts. He's not there to do that.

So just to be clear a teacher enacted a months long abuse campaign that involved illegally violating the privacy of a child but they "can't be named", but a random trans woman uses the toilet at work, gets abused and then are named and attacked in the press www.lbc.co.uk/news/uk/chri...

Pinker has been a loud-and-proud voice for anti-intellectualism and a promoter of chin-stroking race-science platforms such as Quillette for a decade. This isn't lack of awareness. It's an attempt to protect his extremely lucrative brand from association with the causes that helped build it.

"Denying whites the right to assemble without non-whites is a clear violation of white's human rights." 🤔

In case you needed another reason to eat ice cream.

I kinda like that we've made a machine that doesn't quite reason logically but does do a good job of imitating stuff it's read before and that turns out to be genuinely indistinguishable from an average undergrad essay. Like... yeah, no, fair.

insane moment in world history right here

Just absolutely wild to me that there are people who think gender spot-checks a good thing, all because they loathe the tiny minority of trans people that bloody much. Just feels like incredibly skewed priorities.

I have a feeling this is the case for a vast range of political issues that are just trickier to measure than migrant flows.

😁In the 🇷🇺Kursk region, a photo of porn actor Billy Herrington in the uniform of a Soviet soldier was posted on a "patriotic panel with veterans."

You’re allowed to argue that black people and women are genetically inferior. But you’re NOT allowed to argue they are NOT inferior because that’s divisive. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

imagining time traveling to the early 00s and trying to explain to my precocious teen debater friends that the criticisms of the Nanny State that they engaged with so earnestly would culminate in armed officers making sure grown adults were using the right bathroom

I was 28 in 2016 and this is an insane characterization of what growing up as a white man in my cohort was like. Demonstrative of how out-of-touch the cultural right is with actual American life www.theredneckintellectual.com/p/right-wing...

notably absent? that's right: gamers

This from Brendan O'Neill really made me think 🤔

blogshit brain. like ofc this guys "open to the idea" of something completely moronic and unrealistic, his "job" is typing on the computer lmao

Good morning 💀

for my entire life i have simply never understood how anyone reading this can be convinced this is an antisemitic statement

This - by an EHRC Commissioner - is a *defence* of the impact of the Supreme Court judgement. The impact is obviously, and quite deliberately, to exclude trans people from public spaces, and to claim that it's fine, legally, politically and morally. Absolutely shameful.
