in light of recent events i think people underestimate entitled parents ability to make up a scenario in their mind

I actually saw Chappell Roan at a grocery store in Los Angeles once. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything. She said, "Oh, like you're doing now?" I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but she kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in her hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Ma’am, you need to pay for those first." At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

not to be like “i knew that story about chappell roan was fishy” but considering how willing everyone is to paint her as some kind of cackling witch at the first opportunity i did scratch my head at the idea of her setting a security guard on a child

It is morally wrong for you to enjoy things that I personally find cringe and if you disagree I'll be sure to throw "neoliberal" so it becomes about politics instead of my personal aesthetic interests

Jorginho made me cry in November 2021 when he missed a penalty against Switzerland

I don’t think you can tell that

@ahsokaskyber “Umm I don’t like le Reddit humor” pure virtue signaling

me when I lack joy and whimsy

Hey his successor eventually became a freakish posthuman symbiosis of man and worm

at some point, you have to take responsibility and stop reading shit like this. it’s fine, we all enjoy slop every now and again but you’ve gotta have more self-respect than this

@MickMacMathuna @benryanwriter “You can’t trust someone’s published biological research because they have pronouns listed on a social media account” is creaking and groaning under the strain

@wareport_ @benryanwriter Fair enough, but the fact that they declare their pronouns "somewhere" is significant. What those pronouns are is a lot less interesting imo.

NEW PAPER: There is No Consensus on Biological Sex The authors include Andy Lee, PhD (he/they) of Perdue; Madeline Eppley (they/them), a PhD candidate at Northeastern; and Ally Swank, MS (they them), a PhD student at Boston U. "There is ongoing scientific and societal discourse on the definition of biological sex. At this critical moment when misinformation about sex is being applied to policy globally, scientific clarification is valuable. Here, we evaluate the primary approaches to defining sex and synthesise the active discourse to conclude that there is no current consensus on a definition of sex that is free of assumptions and limitations. While there is no current consensus, we do not advocate for a single definition and contend that a lack of unanimity is not inherently problematic. No matter what definitional choices are used, we provide actionable recommendations to improve accuracy when describing sex. Most importantly, regardless of scientific debates, no biological definition of sex should be used to dictate human rights. "Lack of unanimity on how to define sex is not inherently problematic and we contend that a universal definition is not necessary to pursue. Scientists should be specific and clear when discussing sex and sex-related traits to advance more accurate science and discussions. Active debate and discourse lead to better understandings of complex biological diversity. Regardless of how sex is defined, research that documents and describes the diversity and variation of sex in nature should and will continue in biology (Aanen et al. 2016). Our ultimate goal is to prompt critical thinking and discussion about how we operationalise sex in research, encourage consideration of the ethical and political implications of defining sex and urge acknowledgment that there is no current consensus on a single definition of sex. Most importantly, we assert that biology should not dictate human rights." Methinks @SwipeWright will have some thoughts...

@MickMacMathuna @benryanwriter They aren’t declared in the article summary which Ryan attached. He says himself that he had to look them up

@wareport_ @benryanwriter Not the choice of pronouns, but the fact of declaration imo.

Holy. Shit. Can he say that???

@NVSTAN7 Doing January 6 for Kat Abu

oomf think there’s a hidden secret stash of 6,000 ballots that will give Kat Abughazaleh the win

Ballet don't got juice like this

People talk about Chalamet being cocky the way your racist local sports columnist talks about a Dominican player flipping his bat. Lighten up you insufferable bores. It’s the definition of Not That Deep.

War has, what, 30 percent support by the public? FYM “suburban America”?

It was easy for Kate Moss to say nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels because she was from England in the 90s. If she had access to takis the whole trajectory of fashion would’ve been very different

Casablanca was very meaningful to me when I was in college because it’s about people wistfully reminiscing about distant events that happened 18 months ago
