Ich würde tatsächlich gerne eine Reportage über diese Veranstaltungen lesen. Precht, Lobo, alle möglichen Hanseln bis hin zu Daniele Ganser machen nicht wenig Kohle mit solchen Auftritten.
someone on bluesky suggested ice skating and l immediately went to a f/f and m/m romance between rival PAIRS TEAMS where both the girls AND the boys are in love except they handle it totally differently. like maybe instead of the one dealing with homophobia being Russian or Chinese or something it's actually the Americans because they're both from Texas and like the Christian right kind of ships them and they have Republican ass coaches who make them do a lot of American flag shit and who talk shit in front of them about their various queer competitors so they're both terrified to come out and kind of very reluctantly not QUITE fake dating or being each other's beards but also not doing anything to push back on the cishet all American golden child narrative, and they don't even know about EACH OTHER so everything is just tense and horrible all the time. and then their rival team is fucking like Italian or French or something and the guy is a flaming queen and the girl is like "l don't do labels" and they're always doing slutty androgynous Vogue spreads and skating to Prince and Bowie and Gaga and then the year they beat the Americans they do a routine where they're both in costumes that look like 1920s tuxedos and doing a really horny gay jazz thing and the girl skater is obviously in drag and it blows up the internet and the American coach is a MONSTER about those fucking queers bumping his good American wholesome children of Jesus down to silver so then it's a four year training montage from hell before they suit up again
there was a post going around awhile ago re. what a women’s sports version of “Heated Rivalry” might look like which enforces oppressive norms of femininity the way the men in Rachel Reid’s books feel trapped by oppressive norms of masculinity, and I have been thinking about this nonstop ever since

"any existing local ordinances, resolutions, programs, or policies deemed to relate to LGBTQ+ people and other “DEI” activities would be immediately void."
As a culture we age white men down and age Black boys up so that white men are never held accountable for their actions. That is a fully grown man.
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
if there's some storm god responsible for the wind, I want it to look & to pose like your anteater.
Konservative Politik, die nicht 1x pro Debatte "Aber der Linksextremismus" rufen kann & umgehend martialische Strafen fordert, während sie gegen ein von der Verfassung gebotenes Verbotsverfahren gegen die AfD kämpft, leider komplett lost & da haben wir über Kunstfreiheit noch gar nicht gesprochen.

“She’s the exception, I am the rule.”
Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bell’s detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!

Was als Nischenjargon in Incel-Foren begann, ist heute Teil der Jugendsprache. Begriffe wie „Looksmaxxing“, „SMV“ oder „moggen“ verbreiten sich auf TikTok millionenfach. Doch hinter dem Trend steckt eine misogyne Ideologie mit Überschneidungen zum Rechtsextremismus

Intentionality about gender presentation. For a lot of completely cis people, gender is uncomfortable and confining partly because they've been taught to do certain things without a clear method or rationale. For trans people, you have a much stronger incentive to know what you're doing and why
(es ist sehr wichtig, zwei Social Networks zu haben, damit man z.B. auf Bluesky sagen kann "Mastodon ist wieder so pedantisch" und im Fediverse "Bluesky hat wieder NULL Interesse an diskriminierungsfreier Sprache" etc. 😅 )

Important to remember that most consumer-facing "A.i." is monstrously flawed and the billionaires who push it don't care, so if you sign a deal to sloppify yourself, there's a non-zero chance that your sloppergänger will eventually tell some kid to kill themself.
Erwachsene Leute so, die offenbar aus tiefer Überzeugung sagen: „Hätte ich nochmal die Wahl-ich würd alles in meinem Leben nochmal genauso machen!😌“ WAS? Heißt das nich, dass du verweigerst, wenigstens zuzugeben, dass du so Einiges zu spät gelernt/begriffen hast? Ich find das.. befremdlich.

ich habe keinen Grund zu glauben, dass die CDU da irgendwie besser ist - das nicht genauso ablaufen lassen wird.
The researchers also note that 25% of active-duty US Marines developed Long Covid "after mostly mild or asymptomatic infection."
Trivia: it got referred to as the "Spanish Flu" b/c only Spain talked about the 1918 influenza pandemic: Western wartime censorship prevented discussion of the disease.
this headshot and bio immediately made me think "oh no, Jordan Peterson vibes: this looks like a right-wing free speech maximalist" - so I googled him and I'm very glad that he used his position to fight Peterson.

I have been saying for years that there is something weirdly cancel-proof about Tom Cruise. we have known jaw-droppingly horrible things about him for decades and it has not made a dent! people still line up around the block to watch his movies! maybe this will be different but 🤷♀️???
Today makes 15 years since the day I was let out of the mental health clinic my mom put me in for being trans.
Every time I see new laws meant to stop trans kids, I think back to that time and how the experience didn’t make me cisgender. It just made me hate myself until I could finally be me

in Germany, Scrooge's Money-bin features the giant letters DD, for Scrooge's German name, Dagobert Duck. it looks like the DD-logo from Marvel's Daredevil, so I put a duck beak on a (Chris Samnee-drawn) Daredevil and shows both DDs side by side.
