The idea behind banning "biological men" (uggggghhhh) from women's sports necessarily requires a belief that women are naturally weaker and inferior and that women's sports are the lesser, "easier" version.

Meanwhile, in real life—as female athletes are finally being allowed by their trainers to eat food and build muscle—it's turning out that there's a lot of conventional "wisdom" about the limits of women's abilities that is just *wrong*.

It's so strange to watch the liberal response to events. It's full of paradoxes where they want to prevent something terrible but preserve the society that makes that thing possible, and build new things to make it even more likely.

They want to prevent genocide but also preserve American empire and build more weapons and police.

They want to prevent global warming but also preserve cheap heating and build more things out of concrete.

I'm just sitting here watching the dismantling of the US federal govt and I'm repeatedly surprised when liberals are equally distraught about something that will kill a million poor people as they are about something that will reduce US military influence or something that will slow down scientific discovery.

Here's a #coyote!

Did you know that the concept of the carbon footprint was invented by the advertising agency Ogilvy?

It was designed to shift responsibility for the impact of climate change from the petrochemical industry onto individual people in the minds of the general public.

It’s worked rather well, hasn’t it?

this... does not convey the 80s miami cocaine dealer vibe appropriately tbh, but it's also the funniest one she got and shows off the back of the jacket

Let’s disappear people to foreign prisons based on allegations they committed crimes isn’t a slippery slope, you’ve already rolled all the way down the mountain.

• adding pixels looks nice
• removing pixels leaves garbage

it's 2025 and i still see stuff like left-aligned "25% complete" in a proportional-spaced font, that updates every 1%, so the word "complete" vibrates horizontally which is not only unreadable but leaves eink pixel detritus everywhere 💢

Tom Homan, Trump’s aggressively fascist “border czar” and a walking block of processed ham, was first appointed to run ICE’s deportation efforts in 2013 by…Barack Obama.

None of this just suddenly appeared when Trump took office in January.

They *are* the state, in the sense that they only have power over you because of state violence, and in the sense that the state is an arm of the capital class. When I say “bitch I’m begging you to think critically about the state for even a second” I’m talking to people like you.

*The public does not wield power via the state.* The state is not publicly-held power.

People following me on here because of my objectively awesome and correct takes who are then shocked and appalled to discover that I an anarchist and that I genuinely and truly advocate the abolition of the state have forgotten the “objectively awesome and correct” part.

No, covid did not teach me that online conferences are just not working. It taught me that 2/3rds of all conferences could be fully online (though one still needs to think about best structure for them and not just transplant them without any adaptation) - and the remaining third needs to focus even more on interaction (unconferences, small workshops, hackatons...) and not the usual talks.

"We swear we will battle for freedom and right
Against all the servants of tyrannous might.
We swear we will conquer the darkness of night,
Or with courage, we will fall in the fight,
On this oath we pledge our lives.
Heaven and earth will hear us;
The stars will bear witness for us.
A pledge of blood, a pledge of tears,
We swear, we swear, we swear." - De Shvue
