I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter was one of the best works of sci-fi of our generation and one of the best works of transgender fiction ever written, and there are world renowned authors who still have successful careers after they publicly assassinated the nascent woman who wrote it. I don't think they should ever know peace.

[mortalityplays]

Isabel Fall is the patron saint of works unwritten and art unmade by a culture that cannot tolerate trans women

[mortalityplays]

I think this constantly and then I get angry for thinking it, because trans women should not have to be martyrs or saints to animate our politics and our art. that work should have been her debut, not her epitaph. I should be moved by her career, not her absence. I could spit.

The task of reporting is not a simple one. Each and every day, reporters and editors at publications like The Onion make difficult decisions about which issues should receive attention, knowing that our coverage will influence not only how people think, but also how they act. This responsibility is at the core of an ongoing debate over whether news coverage of transgender, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people is unduly biased. As the world’s leading news publication with a daily readership of 4.3 trillion, The Onion is compelled to weigh in.

We firmly believe that it is journalism’s sacred duty to endanger the lives of as many trans people as possible.

Yeah I'm calling bullshit on this one. I'm not even going to try to lampshade by pretending this is so tinfoil hat theory, this reeks of false flag.

The timing of all of this was too coincidental.

Anyway, all of you should do something nice for trans people in your lives today, because the full weight of the federal government is about to fall on us.

[socialistexan]

The Wall Street Journal owes every single trans person in the US restitution for the liablous misinformation they helped spread and lend credibility towards.

...And thus they removed the phrase "you may," simply to reduce the need for a few more clicks on Arena.

I kind of don't like this streamlining of the game to appease digital clients. Let me choose not to create the token. Let me target my own cards with removal. I could not care less if people misclick sometimes.

[biggestcommunismbuilder]

I understand disliking changing things just to appease digital clients, and here I must admit I am only just learning this game via Arena. But I always wondered why the text said "you may" in the first place, and why it's a bad thing that it was removed? In what circumstance would you not want to create the token? Or is it more just the principle of the thing?

[dailymtgflavortext]

It's largely the principle. They often say they don't do "functional erratas" that actively change how a card plays, so it seems weird to me that they would do it here. If this was never a "you may" effect to begin with, I wouldn't care. But as it is now, it represents a small design shift towards more digital-friendly cards at the expense of options in paper.

Normally you do want the tokens, that's true, but there are always weird niche scenarios when you might not. Maybe the opponent plays something that benefits them or punishes you for playing more creatures, but of course you still want to play your land per turn. In my case, because this is a card I use, it's a combo piece that could in theory draw me out and make me lose. Never a problem for my old Zendikar version as-printed, but I guess I need to keep in mind now that I can't choose not to make the tokens.

Again, as it stands, not really a big deal. But it might show a bit of a worrying trend.

No such Forbes article exists, unfortunately. This is completely made up.

[alexseanchai]

so I didn't find the Forbes article either, and the image text does not reflect the usual Forbes quality standards re grammar and punctuation, so I have no trouble believing there is no such Forbes article, no such Kristi Noem quote, and no such manpower exodus

but between the Guardian and the Atlantic, we do know there's at least some people leaving ICE, and both the people ICE is recruiting from and the people ICE is trying to retain are increasingly pissed off about how ICE is treating them, for reasons entirely unrelated to why everyone else is pissed off about ICE's mission and methods

Trump Loves ICE. Its Workforce Has Never Been So Miserable. - The Atl…

US sheriffs decry White House effort to hire away local law enforcement for Ice

One sheriff calls surprise use of deputy email list offering $50,000 hiring bonus ‘unprofessional and unethical’

so I would not say it's completely made up. it's exaggerated almost beyond recognition, which is in some ways worse.

[sabertoothwalrus]

for those who don’t remember, “mole interest” was an experiment I did 2 years ago because I wanted to test what causes tags to go trending on tumblr. My hypothesis was that all it takes is one (1) post blowing up in an established tag to make the entire tag trend.

I had randomly generated 2 words, which is where “mole interest” came from. I failed to consider that by generating a new tag, it wouldn’t have had enough posts already in it to prove what I now call “the mole interest effect”.

But now it does.

In 2023, we said “fuck it” a la mythbusters and ended up doing whatever it took to get #mole interest to trend. And it did. And it happened to be September 11th that day, and we managed to get #mole interest to trend ABOVE #9/11.

So, in the name of science, I ask you to reblog just this post. Let’s put the mole interest effect to the test.

Holy shit Nepal's whole government is fucking GONE lmao

Theyve had a corrupt as hell government full of nepo babies which killed 19 people the other day (including unarmed children) during a protest and Gen Z was like "No we're gonna burn you mother fuckers down", they've burned down the presidential palace, the parliament, police offices, houses of politicians. Theres people chasing ministers down in the streets!

That last pic is of a dude who *defeated* a riot cop and STOLE HIS FUCKIN GEAR!! Theyre using the strawhats logo as a rallying symbol of rebellion just like in Indonesia
