The Needle covered this first btw, but good work. :)

After several months of silence they just emailed me to let me know they will never be paying my invoice.

There just isn't a lot of substance to conservative views at the end of the day? It's an unshakeable belief in hierarchy and authority. You can only dress it up so many ways.

I've read antifeminist and conservative works to write my essays. They were tediously repetitive, poorly written, and insufferably smug, utterly sure in the infallibility of their own worldview as axiomatic. Mocking the idea that people held different views was often passed off as an argument.

The Peril of Talking About Electricity Affordability Rob sits down with Jane Flegal, an expert on all things emissions policy, to dissect the new electricity price agenda.

Very funny that abundance pundits (abundits?) who talked about energy affordability because they thought it'd build support for their preconceived policy preference of building lots of new stuff soured on affordability after learning that it mostly means making better use of existing infrastructure.

Switch from The Matrix says "Not like this."

*Just in the LAST WEEK*:
- Prisons are experimenting on trans prisoners to "cure" them
- Kansas revoked every trans Kansan's driver's license
- Scouts agreed to ban trans kids
- Texas declared all health services stop helping trans kids
- SCOTUS declared it legal to out trans kids to abusive parents

A big thanks to all my moots doing soldier apologia on main for reminding me exactly where people like me stand. I'm happy to know that sometimes the reason I'm not considered fully human and worthy empathy isn't because I'm trans, but because I'm brown. Keeps me on my toes.

My last doctor interrupted me talking about my concerns about my Cpap not effectively managing my apnea events to wax poetic on if my high HRT levels were causing it, and I legitimately walked out. So forgive me for thinking that official channels are riskier.

I’ve been seeing people refer to the need to DIY hrt as a “risk” and I just feel like we’re overstating the safety provide by transitioning with a doctor supervising. Like at least when I was diying, my doctor didn’t ignore my non transsexual health concerns in favor of negging me for my levels

cross my sex and hope to die, stick a needle in my thigh

Updates at both our jobs today have me thinking, "Man, neither of us is even eligible to sell plasma."

But anyway, the U.S. economy is FINE, clearly.

RIP to hundreds of Iranians and one American vacation

in the average liberal worldview, a country that ritually crucified 10k civilians from every other country yearly, but internally they had pretty decent social policy, would be amazing and a shining example of democracy

I know many of you already know this because it’s obvious but you can absolutely take a survey of an opinion desk’s output over time and pretty accurately surmise the views—or at least the intentions—of the people who are in charge of deciding what gets published. I thought we were all adults here

So if the US government is now declaring Anthropic to be a "supply chain risk" what does that mean for all those software businesses who replaced capabilities with Claude subscriptions? Are they supply chain risks as well?

Lenin on free press:
“All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake "public opinion" for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.”

Made the mistake of talking about a girl at work and my colleagues are instantly misgendering her, because you know, "it's so hard to remember" and "well we don't know him" etc.

...but I'm talking about a cis girl. They are going out their way to misgender a cis girl.

This still leaves trans people in the position of having to pay out of pocket for any surgeries we need, or find a clinic that'll work with us once we've already transitioned for several years. It's farce and theater; doctors want to gatekeep transitions and are apoplectic when they can't.

Many transition via DIY resources. I've never seen an endocrinologist or a psych because I don't want to go through a combative and adversarial diagnostic process to access what I need.

The healthcare risks are along the lines of "increased risk of breast cancer because I have breasts now."

"The job of an op/ed page is hagiography and manufacturing consent for the powerful"

thank you we knew that already

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

Blood on your hands.

The NYT is not responsible for the opinions it publishes.

US soldiers are not responsible for the deaths of the children it kills.

The Empire is not responsible for its actions.

The Empire's citizens are not responsible for supporting imperial institutions.

The Crank Report didn't even conclude that puberty blockers should be banned. It was an ideological exercise seeking rationale for predetermined conclusions and even then the Gender-Conservative movement has to keep lying about its contents to fuel their nonsense.

Whoever invented pop up ads on gas station pumps should be shamed and ostracized from civilized society.

Literally not even letting me press cancel as my card info is just sitting in the system but also not letting me pump gas.

You soulless wretches have more empathy for your poor innocent butchers than the innocent people they slaughter.

star wonders, is this why you posted a tweet telling a trans woman who published a book defending trans women and started a news site that might compete with yours to "Insert something inside your anus that causes discomfort." ...because you don't want to "be a driver of harassment towards anybody"

I like how libs like actively screech at anyone who points this out, and then these ghouls are just loudly and proudly taking credit for building up and funding the fascist apparatus.
