‘Wicker’ stars Alexander Skarsgård as a man made entirely of wicker, complete with a rock-hard wicker dick. But what about splinters? Bacteria? Degradation? Would it be advisable, from a sexual-health perspective, to mount a basket dick? We asked a gynecologist: vulture.visitlink.me/DNQwX5
Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that?
AOC:
Two months ago I reported on Amy Acton’s anti-trans turn and fears Dems would go the way of Labour. Some mocked me for it.
Now that list is up to 28 major dem elected officials and entire state governments.
Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage.
WTF.
Montana Dem Sam Forstag just refused to throw trans people under the bus in the MT-01 debate:
“Keep politics the heck out of it.”
He said government has no business in sports or telling parents what to do.
It’s the most competitive House race in the country.

...Assumption #4 has been driving me batshit, yet no one seems to realize it: if you're worried trans ppl might potentially harm your Dem candidate's chances, then YOUR CANDIDATE MADE A BAD DECISION! so why not join us in trying to get them to reverse position? juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...
New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment.

Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”
in a country where they are trying to make it illegal to protest i say: good. go nuts. let your freak flag fly. ive never understood liberal pearl clutching over what is quite literally the baseline civil liberty. politicians should be hectored 24/7
I think this is the big problem with AI; everyone hates it displacing jobs, obviously. But after that there are so many people putting no effort in then being surprised we hate it. If they did even the bare-assed minimum, we might not be AS hostile, alas... It sucks? Who could have predicted this?
Holy shit. Someone has decompiled the Adobe suite, rebuilt it in Rust and released it as open source.
Either all software is dead or the US copyright laws are about to receive an update.

Schools across the state started offering free breakfasts and lunches to all students in the fall of 2023.
The number of students eating school lunch went up 15 percent the first year. The number of kids eating breakfast at school went up 40 percent.
Tens of thousands in Ingham and Livingston County are still without power. Michigan is dead last in the nation for restoration time.
DTE keeps hiking our rates without improvements for Michiganders, and politicians like Tom Barrett are taking their money instead of demanding accountability.
