computer viruses used to be goofy shit like “Pikachu sends you a nice email and then tries to delete c:\windows” and now it’s all just the same ransomware because capitalism ruins literally everything
NEW: IKEA Global Press Officer Diana Lavrenova has stated, quote, that there are “no plans to discontinue [BLÅHAJ] at any market so far”, implying that the Europeans were simply, uh, confused and/or misled. I have asked for further clarification.
On the 4th of July, a reminder that the United States is one of the most trans-friendly and generally queer-friendly countries in the world - both legally and in public opinion. Even when considering authoritarian Republican rule in some states. 1/
I bet we could resolve some of the vaccine hesitancy with universal healthcare instead of telling people they’re insane for being concerned about what happens if something does go wrong and they have a lifetime of medical debt or are unable to afford insurance in future :)
As of today, the giant rubber duck that showed up in Kaohsiung, Taiwan 11 years ago is back. The duck drew over 3.9 million visitors during its last appearance (via

In a world where the supposedly progressive nations of Europe have multi-year long waitlists for transition care and several of them still require sterilization beforehand. Informed consent is a US innovation that will serve as the global model for trans care in a decade.
I’m sorry but it’s beyond hilarious how we spent years hearing about Shapiro being a masterfully skilled politico only for him to collapse approximately two minutes into his first real fight

informing thousands of researchers that unfortunately they will have to retract decades worth of studies because of the Lived Experience of a twitter user
Declaring independence from the arbitrary shackles of the gender binary and pursuing what you personally want to be is the new American dream.
Happy 4th of July.
@Defunctland
An impressive amount of people form their entire personal ideology around the concept of “you can’t like thing I don’t like��� and it’s borderline sociopathic tbh
More than 20% of trans Americans have served or currently serve in the Armed Forces, and all US government employees are entitled to transition care covered by their insurance. Employment discrimination based on gender identity is illegal - and we did it before any other country.
Ok so I’m at Half Price Books and appear to have found a book about my university (which awarded Mr. Rogers an honorary degree in 1982) and it appears to be autographed by the author…to Mr. Rogers

you guys literally never stop talking about shooting people in “self-defense”, this is the lowest effort attempt in quite some time

literally the most bonkers list of articles I’ve seen in a while, wow. a left-anarchist posting a Federalist article. gotta say that’s a new one
Per Pennsylvania’s voter file:
- Leo Beatty and Ardell Martin are not registered to vote, seemingly
- Donna Lee, who “won’t discuss her 2020 vote”, did not vote in 2020, nor any election other than 2022 general
- Winifred Washington also didn’t vote in 2020
The guy in charge of one of the most read opinion pages in America is ordering a $24 airport burger + fries and then $54 worth of whiskey and blaming it on Joe Brandon
i think her posting this is very funny because it relies entirely on younger people not knowing how recently the south turned Republican (Brianna Wu was 19 in 1995-96)
Anyone who legitimately supported Pete Buttigieg for President should have a conservatorship placed over them for their own protection. At any moment they could be at risk of losing everything by someone distracting them with jangling keys.
Spent all night finally getting my Ultimate Power Mac G4 build up and running. 1999 Gigabit Ethernet G4, with a 1GHz Sonnet Crescendo accelerator & an ATI Radeon 9250 - the most powerful GPU for OS 9. I can plug it into my dual monitors for a top tier retro Mac gaming experience
As a Pennsylvanian who is both hard of hearing and has auditory processing issues, it's meant a lot to see
@JohnFetterman
on the trail while dealing with these issues. It's also been uniquely disgusting to watch Dr. Oz try to exploit it. Evil in a way I haven't ever seen before.

two questions:
- which European Christian Democratic parties endorse the use of ivermectin to treat covid
- which European Christian Democratic parties endorse namesearching to own everyone who says your name on twitter

i'm sorry but if your defense is "yeah, she took the pin out of a live grenade on a pressurized aircraft midflight, but it didn't have *time* to explode" you should probably reconsider
@SceneYeen
It’s supposed to mean both. It can serve as a call to action for the future while recognizing the progress that we’ve made compared to the rest of the world.
Philadelphia dropped a ballot update 6 minutes ago, bringing Lori Dumas’s deficit down under 3,000. By the end of the day, she will be ahead in vote count.
Lori Dumas will be a Judge of the Commonwealth Court, bringing the net change in 2021 judicial elections to D+1.

Citizens for Sanity most notably ran the only campaign ads I’ve ever seen that were bad enough to negatively polarize people on their own, and they did it in every swing state in 2022
Josh Shapiro: I will use the line item veto to remove a proposal I put in there but is awful and will gut public education, pinky promise
Tony Evers: WITH THIS LINE ITEM VETO I HAVE DRASTICALLY INCREASED PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDING FOR FOUR HUNDRED AND TWO YEARS
Gov. Evers, by vetoing the digits "20" and the hyphen from a reference to the 2024-25 academic year, has created an annual school funding increase authorization that persists for more than four hundred years.
Quaker Steak & Lube mentioned on the newest WTYP mercer county pennsylvania icon let’s fuckin go baby!!!!!!!!!!! I once broke up with a girlfriend at the original location!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i’m sorry but this is definitely not one of the “most iconic” simpsons bits. this is, like, magnetbox and sorny tier, absolutely nowhere near, like, steamed hams and homer backing into the shrub
