Can we stop calling them "prediction markets" and call them what they are, which is betting/gambling platforms? My teeth itch every time someone says they're "trading" on one of those things. Betting. What you're doing is called betting or gambling, Kevin.

…the odds of 25 independent sexual assault allegations all being false is about 1 in 105 sextillion.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

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.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window. I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦

This is the correct energy. No respect to Republicans, KKK, or any other hate group.

People debate Dominican migration as if U.S. control of customs, military occupation, and intervention never happened. Smedley Butler named the sugar interests he served. America’s role in creating conditions people leave belongs in the immigration debate.

I would like to see more men talking about how to and peer pressuring each other into calling out misogyny and rape culture. Going against social norms is hard, and it helps to share tips and support.

There’s something to be said for how most of the political spectrum can unite around hounding some lesbians over niche drama in their spaces but huge segments of society are silent about pervasive campus rape impacting a huge population of primarily youngwomen

60 days? Well, I’m sure that predator learnt his lesson and will never do it again. 🙄🤬🤬🤬 Imagining that warfarin and dull scalpels might be useful.

Ken Paxton: The criticism has been that I let a child predator out after one day. Well guess what? They served 60 days.

This is the the shit. MORE OF THIS. If you can't do this, you can't run anymore. The game is THIS.

God I love Angie Nixon. I hope she wins

Spite and pettiness are excellent motivators. I have my list of awful GenXers who I will outlive.

Advice for my younger friends: if you want to encourage yourself to stay healthy and functional, to exercise and eat well... ...pick a couple of motherfuckers you really want to outlive.

i’m sorry but this entire worldview seems not just evil but deeply stupid? the far future is fake! it doesn’t exist! what matters are people here and now!

Nick Beckstead, noted longtermist and "effective altruist,” just comes out and says it: "But it now seems more plausible to me that saving a life in a rich country is substantially more important than saving a life in a poor country, other things being equal."

Sorry? Not sorry. If you're upset and trying to prevent history from being taught to hide the truth, then fuck your feelings. You learned nothing and are the exact same assholes as your ancestors.

i don't care what the issue is, if your election opponent is running millions of dollars in ads about one single issue, you cannot, under any circumstances, say that your opponent is right about the issue.

Sending this out to whoever needs to see it: It's okay if you read slowly, there's no great victory in being able to read quickly, everyone kind of has their own reading speed, and that's perfectly fine. I'm just really happy you're reading. I hope it gives you joy at any pace. Thank you!

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

One thing I'm noticing from a lot of people here, and the media reports surrounding the arrest of the Tates, is how many are using the term "child pornography" Children cannot consent and therefore it is not pornography It is Child Sexual Abuse Material or CSAM and it's vital to call it that

Investigators have confirmed no new leads as they attempt to solve the robbery and murder of multiple tech billionaires. The only clue remains the calling cards left at each scene. Police are calling for anyone with information on the meaning of the lone phrase printed on each card: "Oo-de-lally"
