Millions of acres of national forest are targeted for logging under an emergency order from the Trump administration

Nothing. The "emergency order" is entirely so he doesn't have to go through Congress to do it.

Easy mistake to make
When bro is such a bro you completely forget he's trans.
My wife's got a friend this happens with all the time. She'll be talking to him and something about our oldest will come up. She'll make some remark to him thinking he'll relate, entirely forgetting that he had to transition so he didn't experience whatever it was the same way.

Republican Governor Candidate Proposes Female Undocumented Immigrants Can Stay If They Marry “Incels”
Oh yes, tie their ability to stay in the country to them staying in a marriage to someone who actively despises their existence...
Oh wait, that's the "Greatness" a lot of these chuds want to bring back. The days before the country was "ruined" by "No-Fault Divorce" when women couldn't have their own bank accounts and were at the mercy of their husbands/fathers... Right.

Trump revokes security clearances of Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton and other prominent Dems

Yes that's one of the actual pictures from the indictment they brought against him. He apparently had like 300 different documents of varying levels of classified status. There's a couple more iirc of different places like a bedroom and a ballroom stage too. Basically it seems like he had his goons just hide anything he could get his hands on in random boxes of what were supposed to be just irrelevant personal effects
He was only indicted specifically for like 30 of them but my understanding is they specifically chose ones they were willing to have potentially entirely exposed.

Musk makes up some history with his child. Child comes on Twitter to fact check him.
Oh my God that comment about being bullied by him for being feminine. I felt that in my fucking soul. I got that shit so much from my father when I was younger. About the stupidest shit too.
I had this baby doll that I apparently loved when I was little. I was too young to remember having it, but when my brother was a baby apparently I'd follow my mom around with it and while she took care of my brother if she was doing something that I couldn't help with I'd take care of my baby doll.
He hated this fucking doll with a passion. Didn't want me to have it because he was convinced I'd grow up to be gay if I had it. Only the word he used was worse. He ended up jumping at the chance to give the doll away to a family they were acquainted with lost their house in a fire and their daughter had no toys left because he could get away with it then. But his hate for this fucking doll was crazy. Like it was impossible for me to become a parent one day and gasp take care of my own child.

Adult on the internet rule

You can hide those porn games in your preferences at least. Not the same, but at least you don't have to see them if you don't want to. It even distinguishes between games that have nudity/sex and those that are flat out porn.

Oblivious rule
I'm so oblivious that I wouldn't even get to the step of overanalyzing the lyrics. I would have just thought "Oh they think I'd like this song? Let's check it out," and that's it.
I'm so oblivious that multiple times my partner tried to initiate sex by trying to make out and get handsy with me and I completely missed it. If it's not explicit "You. Me. Bed. Now," level direct then like 95% of the time I miss it.
One day my partner got so frustrated with my obliviousness that she asked me flat out if I was asexual or something. I had no idea what that was but turns out yes, yes I am.
Funniest thing to me though. When it's directed at me, then I'm totally oblivious. But if my partner sees an attractive woman out and about and starts visibly thirsting even a little I can tell immediately.

Livestreaming the encounter could also potentially work. But yeah, ideally you probably want as many different camera angles and recordings as you can.

Unnecessarily doing it especially to a newborn should absolutely be illegal. Sometimes it might be medically necessary, like my son opted to have it done years ago because he was entirely non-retractile and it was causing him a great deal of pain. But outside of instances like that? Shouldn't be done.

Way too many of these chucklefucks just want to LARP as pure and radical revolutionaries. My wife and I are disabled and live on a fixed income of her disability payments and the SNAP program. If this "revolution" they want so bad does come, then we're among the most likely to just fucking starve in the disruption. I'm also one of the people the GOP declared they want to "Eradicate from Public Life" with Project 2025.
Now, I'm not much of a Genocide Enjoyer. I think it's one of the worst things you can do in fact. But I also don't take too kindly to being effectively told that I specifically should just die because these wannabe revolutionaries refuse to entertain a world where we both vote for Biden to keep Trump from destroying democracy more than the GOP already has (harm reduction), AND engage in direct action to push Biden away from blindly supporting Israel.

My oldest had to have one for medical reasons. He had the option of attempting to deal with it without surgery but decided he didn't want to deal with that.
Doing that to a baby for no good reason is despicable and I hate forever the 19th century prudes that decided it would be a good way to keep teenage boys from choking the chicken.

Of course. It's not political if it's just The Way Things Should Be™
Their views are never "political" because theirs is the "natural state" of things. They're on top because they deserve to be, and they deserve to be on top because they are. It's anything that deviates from that so-called natural state that's being political.

Don't ya just hate it when people make their harmful kink both their entire personality, and a problem for your fundamental rights? It feels weird to say it. But that's basically what this performative Christian schtick is for people like this. They get off in it so now it's all of our problem.

Your Phone Isn’t Eavesdropping on You to Show You Ads (It’s Worse Than That)
Reply in thread
I think I get what it's saying? It's saying that while your phone isn't directly listening to your conversations in any meaningful way they collect crazy amounts of other data on basically everyone and can piece it together in such a way that they can make some scary accurate guesses as to the kind of ads to serve you based on what their systems have gathered your interests are and where/with whom you spend your time.
I'm not entirely sure. They didn't really seem to present much more than speculation on it.

Joe Biden to join picket line with striking auto workers in Michigan
Reply in thread
Yes, he stopped the train strike. He then worked with the rail unions for weeks negotiating with the bosses and now the rail workers have the sick days that was one of the big drivers of them going on strike for. Here's the statement straight from the IBEW.
They literally thank Biden's administration directly for applying pressure in the weeks after blocking the strike that eventually led to the union getting what it was asking for. I'm no big fan of Biden's, but trying to paint him as anti labor especially using him blocking the rail strike is just patently untrue. With everything that's been happening around Biden's NLRB under Lina Khan he is easily the most pro worker president we've had in decades.
