Wishing every TERF a one time free pass to apologize for mainstreaming undiluted retrograde patriarchy because they thought that literally any woman (trans or otherwise) was worse for women than Matt Walsh. He wants you barefoot and in the kitchen, so maybe let folks pee.

Erica Lindbeck is great, and not just for her numerous great performances. The people who hounded her continue to show that AI things are championed by the absolute worst. Take this moment to steel yourself to reject AI products and to remember that this is what it leads to.

Survey of US friends. Are you familiar with 'bolt' meaning 'to vomit'? @Lenniesaurus covered this one on Scots Word of the Day, and this is one I already knew/used. Curious to suss out where I picked this one up.

"How consumers could be pinched by a US government default" is a headline that has been sticking in my craw today. I'd like a reframing where people aren't described as consumers. "How citizens could be hurt by a US government default" sounds better to me. Center human stakes.
