I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

i hate to break it to you but thats just How Cheesecake Do lmao thats not the CF's fault really (beyond that the slices are physically larger than average)

Micah@rincewind.run

there is one singular fact about the cheesecake factory seared into my brain and it is that one (1) slice of their red velvet cheesecake is nearly 1600 calories by itself

The Chorus
@juno-chorus.bsky.social

the high calorie count on the CF slice is primarily bc theyre like 10-12 ozs apiece iirc like its sugar and cream cheese and butter idk what u expected

Like, to have a meaningful debate, you require at least two participants who: - know a lot about the subject - have some common values about the purpose of the debate - hold conflicting positions on the subject - but do not hold those positions particularly strongly

this recalls me of a time when someone said "look, i hate Netanyahu as much as the next person, but i still want a home for the Jewish People"

theres this idea in the media that if netanyahu loses his election that israel is going to become acceptable to support again, as he is singularly the problem. but if you look into the election you find out every single opposition party is casting him as "too weak on palestine"

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

i understand the US has a gerontocracy problem and saying any government position should have a minimum acceptable age is going to be a hard sell but i would just humbly submit that if youre 27 youre not old enough to be press secretary for a nuclear power, sorry. go back to your quarter life crisis

to be clear its not like im chomping at the bit to replace the walking corpse government with teenagers or whatever i merely categorically reject the idea that the mere act of getting older somehow makes you wiser on account of that is observably not the case lol

Interesting stretch on the concept. I've always considered genocide to be the actual physical extermination of a people. I.e. the Holocaust = genocide. So in my view no one is dying on a mass scale yet. Therefore not genocide.

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

Always keep exploring because you never know what you're going to find next. These cyanobacteria use different types of chlorophyll (called d and f) which can be used in photosynthesis in caves where infrared light is sometimes the only light around. 🧪 www.bbc.com/future/artic...
