Missouri's attorney general has been harassing a gender clinic in St. Louis because they work with youths.

Now he has an online form for complaints and concerns regarding "gender intervention" in the state.

Prime trolling opportunity, pass it on.

The outrage over security from TikTok might be taken a bit more seriously if we didn't just watch Facebook admit to enabling Rohingya genocide, help to manipulate the 2016 election, cause massive PTSD to its own employees, and face zero meaningful accountability whatsoever.

In your current life, how big of a deal would an extra $5 per day be for you?

That's about $150 per month or $1825 per year which seems very significant to me, but I'm curious if I'm out of touch with reality or not.

Well, I just found out the Texas Observer is shutting down at the end of the week and I'm, quite abruptly and with no warning, out of work.

Pass your leads on to me.

LOL!

The current Wisconsin Supreme Court has a 4-3 conservative majority. An ultra-MAGA justice is retiring. Dan Kelly wants to replace her.

We beat Kelly, flip the court majority—and open the door to ending our abortion ban & securing democracy.

@ScottSoCal Lol -- fair enough.

I think it's okay, (even good), to be wrong about one thing.

Today in my newsfeed there are all kinds of articles telling me that Brandon Sanderson is actually awesome and that Wired article about him is super mean.

Except, it's really not. Read anything Foster-Wallace has written about anyone, ever.

To imagine that this is some kind of hit piece or takedown is, frankly, weird and, honestly, stupid.

The Wired article is what happens when a good, but powerless, writer is given the impossible assignment of making rich-guy nerd crap look cool.

My god, internet defenders of literally everything bad, take a weekend to read "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" before filling space with yet more nonsense about poor, beleaguered, B. Sanderson.

The Wired article is funny. It's intended to be funny. It's about a millionaire writer who cranks out crap for people who like to eat crap.

That's okay. Sometimes we like to eat crap, especially in America. It doesn't need to be defended.

If your $dayjob is at all related to security, I'd love to hear from you about what type of mobile phone you currently rely on.

I've never really seen a data-based breakdown of the answer to this question, and I'm genuinely curious. Thanks!

First work with the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic advocate student in our school, and he created a great poster for our showcase on Thursday. #Diversifying #DecolonisingTheCurriculum #BLMatHerts

My neighbors got a new hammock and I think I offended them by complimenting them on their new sex swing.

Is there any animal photos of mine that you would like to see re-edited for one reason or another?

Sound off in the comments and I will do my best to do them all.

Monday gets its name from the Anglo-Saxon word Mōnandæg, meaning ‘For fuck’s sake, not this shit again.’

Special romantic dinner we do around this time of the year.

I kind of miss when I had to defrag the computer and I could just watch the little animation of how it was all getting less fragmented and pretend that my life was also coming together like that.
