what do you do when your desired outcome (banning gender-affirming care) goes against the medical consensus? easy: simply exclude 97% of the relevant medical studies from your review...

every day i wake up and say "surely the NYT cannot stray any further from the light of God" and they apparently hear my incredulous statement as a challenge to print the dumbest fucking shit imaginable in a paper of record.

Thank you, @wired.com, for acknowledging that, as a category of thing to report on. "AI" is not actually tech, nor is it culture, nor can it really be said to be a business, nor does it have any capacity to reach anything we might call "beyond."

If nothing else, AI psychosis makes me feel a lot more justified in my belief in tarot. That's archetypes motherfucker, that's states of being that persist across time and cultures

I'd rather light some candles and pour over cards than talk to an autocorrect machine pretending to be a President

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

So uh, any idea what would happen if a trans person from a different state got pulled over while driving through Kansas rn? Like sure, legally a driver's license issued in a different state is valid in all states, but following the law is increasingly optional for gov't actors so....

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

This, by the way, is why we don't let billionaires, venture capitalists, and libertarians define freedom or do "utilitarianism"

When you think about it, the 3 million horses alive in 1960 were a lot more free that the 26.5 million horses alive in 1915.

A horse born in 1915, reaching the end of their life expectancy in 1940 in a world with half as many horses probably thought "this makes me twice as free as I used to be!"

Genuine question for pro-AI people: what DO you want to do with your life? Because it sounds like you don't actually want to do anything that requires effort, ever, and I think you need to consider that you are clinically depressed.

This morning, someone on NPR was asking a Republican strategist and former speechwriter how the SOTU might affect the midterm elections, and I don't know that I've ever heard anyone ask a question more fundamentally untethered from reality.

Gotcha. I'm mostly familiar with micaceous clay ceramic pots, which are rad for their own reasons.

Additional follow up: is there a benefit to mica pots for this purpose other than how they're glittery and sparkly and pretty?

Witch here: those people aren't witches, they're debauched nobility satisfying their obscene whims upon the children of the commoners.

This isn't a witch hunt, it's a peasant revolt.

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations β€œscrewed up” giving students access to so much technology: β€œI genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”

Now THAT's a headline.

A screenshot from the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/us/politics/dhs-shutdown-impact-ice-tsa-coast-guard.html) reading:

β€œD.H.S. essential missions and functions will continue as they do during every shutdown,” the department said in a statement. β€œHowever, during a shutdown, many employees will be forced to work without pay, putting strain on the frontline defenders of our nation.”

The last sentence is highlighted.

Everything we do to protect communities, we do for free, as willing volunteers. That goes for the vast majority of those who resist ICE.

Everything ICE agents do to terrorize communities, they do for money, and that money comes out of our pockets.

The longer they go without paychecks, the better.

The titillation is the part that makes his whole grift make sense. His audience gets the incel power fantasy, and Nick gets to keep hitting the skinner box button marked "all my virile Aryan brethren get in such a state when I talk about the rape camps"

Such a gross, weird little freak.
