One of the biggest bamboozles of the 21st century is woke circles making you think that “TERFs” are the second coming of Satan and then you learn what they believe and it is literally just science

@MsMelChen @transcended @peterboghossian Tbh each language/culture has their own variants on this, people just bicker over different issues hence the need for loan words.

Guys it was lovely but I think this is right. It's time to cut the bridge off to preserve Japanese Twitter. The language barrier is a genuine moat against memetic invasion. @peterboghossian wrote about why and how anglo countries became awash in wokeism, and part of it comes down to linguistic determinism through usage of the English language. English is particularly well-suited for "discourse engineering." Other languages simply don't have the same built-in equivocation, so the ideology has to be imported explicitly and clumsily as English loanwords, or it fizzles. That lack of seamlessness is a natural - but not foolproof - firewall to the woke mind virus. We caught glimpses of each other, but it is time for the window to close.

I didn’t vote Trump either time but I do find this cycle of “obviously fair use parody” → “ugly men in striped socks get big mad” quite entertaining

real life is funnier than fiction

@adamndsmith male moment

Imagine being the kind of person who sees this as a victory

@Scott_Wiener Sir the men’s restroom is right there. Your fellow gay men, even those in wigs, are free to use it.

It’s about to become a felony in Idaho for a trans person to use the restroom. State prison for using the restroom. Let that sink in. These people have no limits.

@jrivanob Unlike the other supes, who are all well known to be staunch Bible thumping conservatives

Jackie Fielder is San Francisco’s only democratic socialist representative If she goes through with a resignation, it would mean the city losing two socialist supervisors in two years, after Dean Preston lost his 2024 re-election bid

@sfchronicle Good news

OPINION: The International Olympic Committee policy will require every female athlete who wants to compete in the Games to do a one-time gene test, backed by controversial science. sfchronicle.com/sports/annkill…

If only we had a word for "fatally assaulted"

@krscode @commanderfailu2 @gufeng57745070 It’s relevant bc OP is talking about her 祖籍(ancestral roots) which is probably as relevant to this lady as podunk Ireland/Poland/etc is to your average white American

@commanderfailu2 @gufeng57745070 ...have u mixed with Chinese Americans? Almost all of them speak like this. If youre thinking about 1st Gen or 2nd Gen having accents, that only happens if they were raised in Chinatowns.

参与轰炸伊朗的美国B2 战略轰炸机的女飞行员———祖籍广东梅县客家人，现役隶属于密苏里州怀特曼空军基地第13轰炸中队，是美军历史上第 10 位女性 B-2 飞行员。

@CommonSenseiSF @Scott_Wiener He supports it. He’s the reason male rap!sts are in women’s prisons in CA

@Scott_Wiener State Senator @Scott_Wiener, please provide you thoughts on this:

Kicking them out of the military Revoking their driver’s licenses Banning them from restrooms Stripping them of housing & job protections Banning gender affirming care for adults It’s utter dehumanization & erasure. We must pass a federal civil rights law ending this hate.

@Scott_Wiener Yessss king keep harping on this issue! absolutely do not want you to win any more elections and the flagrant misogyny helps a ton in showing how out of touch you are!

@growing_daniel Seeing the snow storm news this really hits home

Tech billionaires are massive pussies for retreating immediately from California. Stay and fight. Don’t let these idiots take the best land on earth.

"One of the oddities of today’s politics is the way in which rich people renting the wombs and buying the babies of the poor has been coded as progressive, while any criticism is cast as mean-spirited and unempathetic..." @glosswitch telegraph.co.uk/gift/c69d53d8d…

Always said sailor moon was better

我沒有丁丁耶… laughably bad attempt at ad targeting

does anybody ever die a non political death in minneapolis. Like cancer or heart attack or whatever

@OtraHistoriaYT It’s a Chinese product and originally designed to comfort babies/small children. If you’ve heard of a Snoo bassinet, that is an American product that does something similar (soothe babies on behalf of exhausted parents)

En Japón hay demanda de berenjenas gigantes que te abrazan y dan palmaditas mientras duermes. Curioso.

I just wanna thank right wingers for being openly anti immigrant lately because my ardent centrism was starting to get shaken and now I remember I hate both sides

@ClaraCla8675309 @StevenGlinert Where in Taiwan do you suppose they’re going to ski 😂

@StevenGlinert I agree. Read an article about a boy who was born in California and learned to ski here but he’s competing for Taiwan. What are we supposed to be happy? Why doesn’t Taiwan get their own skiers?

I feel like if you go and compete for another country’s Olympic team, you don’t get to be in any parades. Parades are about civic pride and such, and you clearly have none.
