My take is either red hot or ice cold I have no idea, it's been rolling around in my head for a while now. The vibes are bad, the energy is off, and my pattern recognition alarm bells are ringing. Discourse is here.

Some of these memes that pit women against men in some gender war specifically assume a stance on gender binary that I don't think 196 has ever been keen on. I know I am not the first to call this stuff out as TERF bullshit on this place.

For context, Moldemort does not describe herself as a TERF with "radical-feminism" from the 60's. She sees herself as "a feminist", despite allying herself with far-right figures that are in explicit opposition to current goals. It really doesn't help with coalition building.

I know, I know that these are supposed to "just be memes", but I really don't think that some of these are "just memes" anymore. Beyond the regular agenda-posting, I am starting to think that the undercurrent of misandry in some of "those posts" are completely unironic, having gone from the rather typical loser-posting to straight up "I hate men". How on earth do you post that???? Is this really a common sentiment??? Why is this getting upvoted in a leftist space???

Maybe someone else can post the "tell us about your ex" thing or shitting toothpaste idk

[https://budgetlab.yale.edu/research/state-us-tariffs-august-1-2025](tariff analysis) also, epstine, baby oil, I get it but how on earth do am I supposed to communicate in memes? I know wall of text isn't easily digestible, but there has to be a better way of communicating that isn't reformatting a budget analysis as a 20 image long album of twitter fights... which I am seriously considering doing.

Did you know you can just start making stuff? Pixels are free, you can even have some of mine.

I spent way too much time on this

Years later, I looked at my wedding party of six groomsmen and realized that every single one of them had, like me, grown up in a small Ohio town before leaving for Ohio State. To a man, all of them had found that couches coud satisfy them more than a women ever could, and that books are really just zipped HTML, and nobody really checks PGP signatures.

Why couldn't this call be an email? Why would you call, when you know that you are near indistinguishable from spam calls about Microsoft services and Nigerian princes?
