@_TechJess Plot twist: you can change your gender but then are canonically trans in game. Watch their brains explode.

Guess who had two thumbs and didn't manage to dodge this round of tech layoffs? This guy. Not really looking for a job yet, gonna try and maybe figure out my own thing for a while, but if anyone needs a staff-level software engineer with games and tech industry experience, LMK

Here is Posie, encouraging cis men to pretend to be trans, and enter Women's bathrooms to "protect" them against actual trans ppl. The thing terfs are saying they're "scared of" they're the ones actively encouraging. Violent cis men in women's bathrooms web.archive.org/web/2021020711…

If you're a cop and don't want anyone to know you're a cop, you just might be a bad cop.

Every liberal state should be writing laws right now stating it is lawful to resist kidnapping of trans children, with lethal force if necessary.

Maybe we should ask the "Real President" Trump who rolled back railroad regulations that could have prevented the disaster.

The first thing that'd happen after a "national divorce" would be the Red states implementing measures to prevent anyone from leaving, because everyone with an IQ higher than room temperature will be heading to the Blue states.

Off by a year, but... called it. Brass Balls Biden.

I'm sure there are plenty of geopolitical reasons it'd be a bad idea, but it'd be a major brass balls move for Biden to just... show up in Ukraine right now. No major military movement, just a state visit. Russian army would have to be truly insane to move ANYWHERE near him.

Absolute scum of the earth. Cities need to keep getting hit with higher penalties until they learn to keep their police on a tighter fucking leash. usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…

@speechcoachjody @SraAntonio @socialistdogmom To put it in an more nuanced manner: If he had confronted the error in his ways and attempted to reconcile the rest of his life, he may have been missed. However, instead of taking responsibility, he chose to end his life as a fascist in a historically accurate manner.

you probably remember this photograph. it's one of the more iconic of the awful images of the nazi torch march at UVA on august 11, 2017. on august 12, the man in the center was elated to see himself on the cover of papers across the county. today, i can tell you he is dead.

The whole "someone legitimately thinks this is offensive therefore everyone has to stop it with no further discussion or else you're toxic" idea has bugged me for years. I'm happy to talk about what things are and are not appropriate, but this is just shutting down discussion.

Ok, maybe my white-cis-male is showing, but I find the concept of "claiming" certain phrases as exclusively available to specific minorities as somewhat problematic. For starters, where does this end? Do we just stop using any phrase a minority group has picked up?

I love how the GOP lobbied against and successfully rolled back many regulations that may have prevented the #OhioTrainDisaster, but are now blaming it on Democrats. Look in the fucking mirror. You're the problem.
