Classic Antisemite strategy referred to as “Pulling a Ms Rachel”

Fascists have to be indoctrinated on purpose. Queer people will always be born whether they like it or not.

Yeah I haven’t been able to afford them for a hot minute

Oh you don’t like Jeffrey Epstein? Then why are you still listening to his music?

Tumblr sounds wild

Do we have any actual documentation of anybody who might be called a ‘gimp’ actually being offended by the name?

You want documentation that gimp is offensive? Go call your boss a gimp. They’ll give you some documentation. Feel free to share it here.

Gimp does not refer to people with movement disabilities. It stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program.

Pretending to not understand when an acronym spells a word is a new one to me. Maybe you should be writing bill names for congress.

Or is this just more performant bullshit?

I dunno about you, but last time I used it, gimp was pretty performant.

See? That’s me intentionally misunderstanding something obvious in order to ignore a point you’re making. See how transparent and ineffective it is?

I hope they really commit to this. Keep gimp as an option for the obstinate among us, but make wlbr the default. Gimp is, even to people who don’t recognize it as a slur, an informal and rude word and it makes it hard for people who already don’t care about open source to not just dismiss it out of hand when they hear that name.

I have been a staunch advocate of open source software at my company and I promise you the vast majority of people do not know what gimp is.

If they’re openly talking about it they’ve already secured their portfolios in preparation for the crash

The giant tube of pills feels relatable as I pick up meds for my wife and myself and there’s like a dozen bottles between us

We want a family

Something I’ve had to start practicing (recommendation from my therapist) is rating distressing headlines somewhere on the line from imminent to theoretical. Do they want to round us all up and put us in camps and outlaw HRT or maybe just start executing us in the town square? Sure. I’m not naive about that. But there are differences in preparations I would be making to start DIY HRT, for example, if this was becoming law tomorrow vs if it’s still some wish stored in Trump’s balls. It’s not something I need to call my provider over because they’re going to say the same thing they said the last three times I asked. The specifics matter.

Redemption tour in the next year or two. He’ll be filling the role of Liz Cheney in 2028 if he doesn’t outright run as a Democrat. Imagine a Newsome-Carlson ticket after Carlson has successfully genuflected for a couple years about how much he regrets Trump and hates Israel.

Capitalists don’t exist. Capitalists can’t hurt… wait…

It’s always seemed like negative attention seeking to me. Pretty much bullying with the facade of “compliments”

Is it a distribution problem if the owning class has actively prevented their global-scale logistics systems from being applied in a way that would benefit the poorest of the poor? Amazon and Walmart have the technology, resources, and knowledge to feed everyone in the world. It’s a solved problem. The problem is with who owns them and therefore who makes decisions about their operation.

This image looks very different from the last time I saw it

The flu vaccine is what made me trans. They probably lose quite a few recruits to Big Pharma every year.

I want one so fucking bad. I understand I have to pay fucking double for one, but are any of them cleared to be on American roads?
