  • May impact sales...

    Let's face it, people seem to be able to tolerate a lot of shit before they ever actually start showing how they feel with their wallets.

  • Why is it that when I click the linked article, I'm taken to an unrelated article titled "British spies taking โ€˜covert actionโ€™ to defeat Putin, says MI6 chief " ?

  • Firefox for general use. TOR browser (Firefox) for everything else. Privacy, security, and ad blocking are paramount.

  • Oh goodness, he's so deranged that it's hilarious!

    Wait.

    Shit.

    People actually take him serious. I keep forgetting that every time I see stuff like this. My first thought is that no one could possibly ever take him serious... And then I remember... he was intentionally elected to lead the most influential country in the world... on purpose!

    Why can't I wake up from this bad dream?!

  • Down voted due to the headline. Seriously, why can't media outlets just be honest. How on earth does "Free Palestine" and "Donโ€™t celebrate genocide!" equate to "anti-Israel"?

    It's about 120,000+ dead. It's about Palestinian civilian lives. It's about war crimes.

  • Nailed it on all counts.

    The most heartbreaking thing about religion is how hard its adherents work to NOT actually read, understand, and live the virtues in their scriptures but instead re-interprete, cherry-pick, and choose the most vile parts of them only to tragically embody the evils they accuse everyone else of committing.

  • After recently reading Children Of Time and Children Of Ruin, I just don't have the heart to read Children Of Memory. So kudos to you for that accomplishment. The writing was so rambling, verbose, and often confusing. If this book is beyond that, then I'd say... perhaps it is better reused as a doorstop? ๐Ÿ˜

  • We don't even have to exercise common sense. It doesn't seem anyone can even agree on what common sense even means anymore.

    What we do have are statistics! Something that politicians like this are very intentionally ignoring or twisting.

  • Good grief. That's the first time I've seen that clip. The way politicians flip-flop for their own personal gain makes me sick. And that doesn't even touch on the fact that this affects real people at such a basic level.

    No one is going to walk around bathrooms inspecting for penises or the lack thereof. At the heart of the matter, no one actually gives a damn. This is all just pure bigotry plain and simple. That and the politics of playing bigots for their votes.

    I hope hope hope that people like Sarah McBride will follow people like Mike Johnson into the bathroom and then, from the stall next to him, say every most uncomfortable thing that she can think of to make Johnson rue the day he banned trans women from using the restroom with dignity at their place of work.

    Goodness! There's so many real problems in this world. Why are people letting politicians get away from doing their actual jobs and focusing on minutia like this.

  • Is there any evidence at all backing such safety and security claims? Has restroom safety ever been jeopardized by transgendered persons? The only news I've ever seen in balls bigoted persons attacking transgendered persons.

    And if they want to start protecting children, they should consider looking at the leadership of youth organizations and churches and other places where children have been victimized by the hundreds of thousands.

    Sounds like these people should take a look at their book and what their precious Jesus says about such things:

    Matthew 7:3-5 Why do you look at the speck that is in your brotherโ€™s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, โ€˜Let me take the speck out of your eye,โ€™ and look, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brotherโ€™s eye!

    Red herring much? Moral equivalence much?

    Protecting children starts with your own institutions, not a small subset of people who just want to shit in peace!

  • Found her twitter, but the post seems to have only been on bluesky. All well. I tried. I'm sure there will be plenty of articles on this.

  • I just want to read her response to ask this and I can't seem to get to it. This article and another from the guardian doesn't even go to the referenced story.

    Then I found a website that quotes her "pee in peace" comment and when I click on that link, which theoretically goes to her blue sky account, it says the post is deleted.

    So then I remind the post specific information from the URL so it'll go directly to, what I presume to be, her blue sky account people. (It's literally the first time I've ever clicked a link that goes to Blue sky, so I'm not 100% sure that the URL is correct.) it seems correct though because now it says her account is suspended.

    She must be scary as hell since every path I take to try to get information on this keeps getting blocked.
