Quick question for all you fucking dumbasses braying about how people should use the restroom that matches their biological sex and not their gender:

@cstross This argument is a pattern I've seen repeatedly in the past years. “We can't make profit without collecting huge amounts of personal data about everyone who visits our website!” or “You cannot expect us to secure our software [that handles medical data] before we go live! That inhibits innovation! We'd go broke”.

If your business model does not work without infringing someone's rights, it's not a business model. It's criminal activity.

No, please, tell me again this isn’t genocide.

Maybe they drank at home
Then drank some cans on the bus
Now maybe they're lost

@healyn podcast I was listening to today included the phrase "we're now five years into the backlash against the six months in 2020 where some powerful men experienced consequences" and that is so heartbreakingly accurate

@GayDeceiver
True lol 🤘

@toxy
He has in fact recommended all of Banks' books. Actually - if he really absorbed "The Wasp Factory" it would explain so much about his life, politics, misogyni, and relationships 🤔
@Binder

Missile defense of the continental United States is essentially impossible. Stop spending my fucking money on this shit. Buy someone food. Pay for healthcare. Pay for housing. Buy a park. Almost anything else.

@GayDeceiver
I've always thought of punks as more ragey, goths as more nihilist, and emo as mopey goths 🤷

Please ...

At the weekend, a group of trans women protested topless at the Scottish Parliament about the recent Supreme Court ruling that the Equality Act defines women as "biological women". The police couldn't arrest them, because to arrest them for showing their breasts would be to define them as women (it's not illegal for men to be topless). And, of course, the right-wing press that reported on it censored their breasts, thereby making their point for them.

@hllizi
On the subject of definitions... the "Nordic Model" is actually a great set of principles for organising a universalist welfare state and should not be conflated with policies on sex work.

For the sake of avoiding confusion the term "Nordic Model Approach to Sex Work" would be better imo.

But yeah, fuck #SWERFS.

HEY AMERICANS
you OK?

To understand what the GOP is forcing through at midnight:
•Gutting $880 billion from Medicaid
•Gutting $500 billion from Medicare
•Gutting funding for SNAP (food assistance)
•Gutting clean energy protections, which will also cost 400,000 jobs

All to help 800 billionaires and hundreds of billion dollar corporations become even wealthier. This is the largest transfer of wealth from working people to the wealthy. This is corporate welfare on steroids. This is class warfare against working people.

The transfer of trillions from bottom to top could not be clearer. #TrumpTrillionsTransfer

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

- George Orwell, 1984

Brilliant idea! Next they’ll invent seatbelts and call them “freedom straps.”

"Murray Bookchin argued that hierarchy is socially produced, not natural. Patriarchy, he wrote, was the first system of domination — a blueprint for later forms of class rule, racial supremacy and state power." This is an absolutely crucial point in understanding culture wars like these. Splitting groups into "superior" and "inferior" categories convinces people from an early age that hierarchy is "natural" and therefore acceptable, thus we have passivity towards state power through so-called *representative democracy" (a contradiction in terms).
