Imagine how he felt.

Ok. That’s the last time you lie about me.

You can keep lying about what I was saying, but the fact that you can’t say the simple words, “trans men are men,” has laid your bigotry out for all to see.

And lying about what I was saying will not get me to deviate from said bigotry. Not when there are trans people I care about.

Trans men are men.

Trans women are women.

No amount of lying or queerphobia on your part changes those things.

Because the Democrat ran against a guy who called himself a black Nazi and said he wished slavery was legal so he could own slaves. And said so on porn sites. And that was the printable stuff. A lot of it involved weird sexual shit and fantasies about his wife's sister.

The real question is how he still got 40% of the vote.

I'm also slightly bothered that the Niger River only goes through a tiny sliver of Niger.

I kind of feel like they shouldn't claim the name. Maybe trade names with Nigeria. It will probably be some pretty easy paperwork alterations. You just take away their A.

Interesting how you keep insisting I tell you how I arrive at my conclusions and every time I do, you don't accept it.

But hey, when Netanyahu replaces Gaza with a bunch of resort hotels, you can proudly tell everyone that Biden would have allowed the same thing to happen... assuming you're white, male, heterosexual and Christian. Otherwise you might be too busy starving in a concentration camp.

True. The Democrats will not continue their rightward march now that America will be a one-party fascist dictatorship because they are no longer necessary. Congratulations. You won. I hope your papers are in order when they ask for them.

I'll have you know that cheese was fed only the finest of grass.

That sounds like less of a why issue and more like a how issue.

I don't know, a well-stocked bunker and some armed AI security drones will let them ride things out for quite a while.

Good luck. Get out if you can. It will be a nightmare for us, but we're doing it anyway.

 
 
 
 
 

I really hate Axios' format, but they're not wrong.

Elon Musk overpaid for Twitter when he bought it for $44 billion in late 2022, after unsuccessfully trying to renegotiate or renege.

Now a new conventional wisdom is emerging: Twitter is a loss leader for the rest of Elon Inc.

The argument is that Musk bought Twitter for power, not profit. And that the gamble paid off.

  • Musk used the platform to help shape public opinion during the election, artificially amplifying his political messages and giving him- influence with Donald Trump that money alone wouldn't have bought.
  • Trump's victory means that Musk has become the most powerful unelected American ever — and that could be a boon for SpaceX and Tesla, whose fortunes are heavily dependent on federal government contracts and policies.-
  • Those two companies also are much larger than Twitter/X, even at $44 billion, and more core to Musk's lifelong goals.
 

It's not new, it's just gotten much, much bigger in the last couple of days.

 
 
 

So far, the best ever image of a star other than our sun.

 

I was having a chat with some friends and we were talking about how, in the U.S. at least, washers are usually on the left and dryers on the right and why that might be. Someone pointed out that we wash first and then we dry. But then someone else pointed out that we are sort of primed to think in left-to-right terms already since that's the direction in which we read. So here is my question:

Are washers usually on the right and dryers on the left in the Middle East?

 

I screamed, "FUCK! YOU!" when I saw it.
