I sort of envy the sense of accomplishment one must feel knowing you've just written one of the dumbest things ever published in the English language

Golden Age Superman stands head to thigh alone in a panel black at the top and red on the bottom where Superman stands pointing at the reader as he says, "Be wary of unscrupulous operators of gambling games--they are always on the look out for unsuspecting victims."

I remember using a men's room in an airport for similar reasons once only to have a janitor, confused by me, rush off to get a TSA agent, who then came in to be confused as well. Luckily I was already done & leaving before they said anything, but it was a very "oh, so there's nowhere for me" moment.

If it pleases the court, the flyer is laminated & I've been able (twice) to remove his defacements with some scrubbing. I've put plastic wrap over it so as to remove the inevitable next time.

The local wingnut who spends all day at the library printing out conservative memes that he tapes up around town keeps defacing a missing person flyer on my street with transphobic garbage and I don't know how to keep myself from doing something my future lawyer will wish I hadn't posted about.

There's another dynamic going on, which no one in the mainstream press I've seen has touched (though @polgreen.bsky.social got closest), and that's the fact that it is unprecedented to ban or heavily restrict a treatment on the basis that the evidence isn't high quality enough.

I read the post before I looked at the poster and I'm so relieved this wasn't written by someone for whom I could lose respect

My entire life, and in fact much longer, has been an endless series of hopefully limited conflicts that are supposed to create an entirely new Middle East.

promo still for Ben Appel's "CIS WHITE GAY" depicting Appel, a CIS WHITE GAY, standing in front of an LGBT flag with the heading "First I Escaped a Christian Cult. Now I'm Leaving the LGBT Cult."

I'm sure the "I'm leaving the LGBT Cult" guy has only the very best interests of effeminate gay boys at heart

While I do hate the AI dystopia, I have to admit:

1. This is unintentionally very funny
2. There is part of me that likes to pretend these are real scenes filmed with real people and that the real Claire Danes was like "sure, I'll be in your unhinged, racist ad."

Even if by "soak" you meant completely strip of all wealth, forced to wear barrels as clothes and live under a bridge to split a single bean for dinner, this would be remarkable ROI and a slam-dunk for the economy.

They're all professionally invested in the topic, unlike Jesse who has simply staked his entire career & most of his adult life on publishing "skeptical" articles about trans healthcare.

"Many of the highly educated experts who disagree with me constantly have a professional stake in saying I'm wrong," says man who has done almost literally nothing for the past decade besides pay his bills with "trans critical" op-eds.
