Ooooooh, that’s a good one!

Face most replaceable with an ash tray.

Well, we won’t call it that. Vietnam was techincally “a police action”, but we all know it was a war. This police action will get folks killed in an effort to take prisoners, which sure sound like a…

Some of those who burn crosses, hold office.

I hate this stupid fucking bigoted ass country.

Oh yes, without a doubt. What truly matters is equal power dynamics, I’d just generally speaking saying most 30s have a few relationships under their belt, know who they are and what they want.

But even that can go yuck sooooo quick. Like with a 30 and 80 year old, clearly one side has a fetish or finicals the other has.

Once you hit 30 the age gap stops being creepy and becomes a personal life choice. If you were 41 and she was 20, that would be a massive red flag. But she isn’t a young adult anymore, but presumably someone established in who they are and what they want.

If what she wants is you, congrats!

It still feels a little odd to me that restaurants don’t ask “smoking or non?”. Don’t get me wrong, I’m delighted everything stopped smelling like ash. But it’s surreal to remember my grand parents chain smoking over pancakes at Dennys.

It also restricts all forms of gender affirming care, including medication, from being funded by Medicare. 150,000 trans folk will soon be forcibly detransitioned, and for many, it is literally lifelong required medication because of past surgeries.

It’s controlling, cruel and needless. But thats what conservatives want so here we are.

Ugh, first that kid only getting his ear and now THIS?

Evil, exploitative but not entirely unexpected for the reality TV president.

Y’all better give the author of Hunger Games a screenplay credit

Lies!

Jesus made a healthy profit from his counterfeit fish side hustle.

They say “we can always tell” and then go harass other cis folk. It’s be funnier if it wasn’t so sad.

While bathroom bills are explicitly aimed at trans folk, generally it’s the non-gender conforming cis crowd that actually gets challenged IRL. Which isn’t a bug, but a feature to control and enforce two clean arbitrary distinctions. Almost always some poor butch lesbian being accosted by the gender police and told to pee safely they need some makeup.

There is more to being a man than a tie, and more to being a woman than a dress. Humand are infinitely more complex than those old strict boundaries. This sort of attack is just a impotent attempt to force back the 1920’e statud quo.

“Stacey was up front and the video itself…said it was AI generated. We were very careful to make sure it was clear that these were the words that the family believed Christopher would have to say,”

“I love the beauty in what Christopher, and I call him Christopher—I always call people by their last names, it’s a formality of the court—but I feel like calling him Christopher as we’ve gotten to know him today.”

Can’t have it both ways. If you understand this was fabricated AI then you did not “get to know him today”. The facts of the case were already self evident for guilt, but this needs to be a mistrial. We can not have a standard of fair justice when generated AI is treated like living breathing people.

There were videos shown during the trial that Stacey said were deeply difficult to sit through. “Videos of Chris literally being blown away with a bullet through his chest, going in the street, falling backward. We saw these items over and over and over,” she said. “And we were instructed: don’t you gasp and don’t you cry and do not make a scene, because that can cause a mistrial.”

“Our goal was to make the judge cry. Our goal was to bring Chris to life and to humanize him,” she said.

If gasping at video of real events is grounds for a mistrial, then so is fabricated statements intended to emotionally manipulate the court. It’s ludicrous that this was allowed and honestly is grounds to disbar the judge. If he allows AI nonsense like this, then his courtroom can not be relied upon for fair trials.

Honestly reads like The Onion.

Czuba attacked her first with a knife, stabbing her multiple times, saying, “You devil Muslim, you must die,” as her son watched,

“I thought they were going to do jihad on me,” Czuba said, according to WLS.

A racist piece of shit no one will miss. Yet he is also the obvious product of our overtly islamphobic media and goverment. Just 10 days after Oct 7th, this bigot felt emboldened to attack women and children and call it self-defense.

Disgusting.

Oh we all passed skeptical a long time ago. Dude is just making up numbers, scrapping databases and misunderstanding legacy code. All while throwing up the Nazi arm. Musk is nothing more than a fascist fraud.

Okay, so I’m a queer woman who is gonna do her best to level wit you. The problem is that you’re trying to come up with a sexuality based on exclusion, which inherently is going to be bigoted.

If you’re a straight man, you’re attracted to women. But if you were to say “only white women tho” then it’s clearly coming from a racialized place, even if you insist that you’re not racist, your limitations on who you are willing to consider a dateable woman says other wise. Conversely, if you were a white man who says “only asian women tho”, that’s again coming from a racialized and fetishized place. Even if it’s subconscious and unrealized bias that makes sense in your head, the context of fetishized communities is still racism.

So on the same note, it’s hypocritical to say “trans women are women” while categorically insisting that you would never date one. Does this include Trans women who have bottom surgery and pass as cis? If so, then visual attraction isn’t the only factor. If not, then clearly “super straight” has some caveats making the term meaningless.

Anytime you’re trying to define “everyone but X”, you’re inherently embracing a bigoted stance. Does this mean you’re required to date any and all women who ask you out? No, of course not. But to defining an entire category undateable speaks to bias. Lesbian women are attracted to women instead of attracted to “not men”, gay men are attracted to men instead of “not women”. To say categorical trans folk do not apply there is by definition trans exclusionary. On a case by case basis, a trans person can be rejected without bias, but categorically doesn’t just imply bias, but is such.

Mine? America. I even live in a very blue “progressive” area. But I have friends in the UK that have similar experinces. Frankly, why would that even matter? This sort of thing happens all over.
