The reason why so many of y'all's feminism sucks is because you still believe deep down in your hearts that there are only two kinds of people in the world: precious, ethereal, fragile dollthings called "women", and violent, lustful, rage-fueled apes called "men". Until you throw that idea away, 3rd-grade-tier "girls rule boys drool, girls are princesses and boys are stinky :(" is as feminist as we'll ever get-- and I hope it's obvious that that's lightyears away from the bare minimum of where we need to be.
I don't know how I'm supposed to explain to ostensibly trans-friendly feminists that "women are beautiful soft things made of glass, men are obsessed with violence and sex" is exactly what the patriarchy wants you to believe. Patriarchy wants you to believe that being a woman and/or having a vagina (patriarchy generally believes those two things are synonymous) makes one shatter on impact with reality. It makes you easier to control if you are scared shitless of the other half of the population, and it makes you more compliant with your lot in life if you believe it is in the nature of the other half of the population to rape and kill rather than realise those were choices those individual rapists and murderers made. There is no way to make gender essentialism progressive and feminist, because it is one of patriarchy's tools of subjugation. Stop trying to make it progressive.
And I can scream all of that from the rooftops over and over again, and what I hear in reply is "Trans men really are men because no woman would ever decide to become an inherently evil repugnant rapist ape", and "You're so right. Trans women are women because they too are pretty delicate little objects I can fuck", and "You're non-binary? So are you fucktoy non-binary or sexpest non-binary?", and my patience runs ever thinner.

the other day in the groupchat we were talking about how historical fiction will often try to code aristocrat characters as more sympathetic by only having them have a single servant instead of a whole household of staff but instead this just makes them look like an exploitative employer who’s so cheap he would rather pile impossible amounts of labor upon a single guy than hire enough help to actually run his house

it is always odd to me that there is a sort of masculine strength associated with conservative politics (this is an actual phenomenon that has been studied) because to me it all comes as a confession of weakness and mediocracy--an inferiority complex disguised as a superiority complex. maybe the reason conservatives dislike other conservatives so much is they do have to admit they're engaging with a loser by their own standards.
in the US this association of masculinity and conservatism is part of what drives anti-environmentalism

This study applies the concept of “petro-masculinities” to understand geothermal rhetoric and policy under the second Trump administration.
comically stupid but real
Since the 2025 inauguration, geothermal stakeholders have been working to reframe themselves in terms that align with the Trump administration's language of “energy dominance” and “unleashing American potential” [2]. One such effort was the event “MAGMA” (Making America Geothermal: Modern Advances) held in March 2025 by the organization Project InnerSpace, where one speaker designated geothermal “the “smokin’ hot trophy wife of the oil and gas industry” [3]. Other Project InnerSpace efforts have included similar gendered rhetoric and visuals, including a music video titled “(Our Love Is) Geothermal,” in which the singer serenades a female personification of Earth with lines like “let's tap this reservoir of love inside you girl/deep in your inner space”
Fucc Donald Trump
it's funny how many stories there are which set up the hero of the story as someone whose job it is to "restore the balance between light and dark" but what we see from them mostly only looks like trying to vanquish any signs of darkness
you go to the website of a pest control company and they talk about how their job is to restore the balance between house and bug
Legendary hero takes up the sword to restore the balance but things have been pretty good lately so they mostly have to raze a few villages and slash funding for social services
Drug arrives years after pandemic’s peak, but could still offer protection to vulnerable populations.
An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in people exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus at home, according to trial results published today in the New England Journal of Medicine1. The drug could be a lifeline for those who still face real danger from the virus, such as care-home residents or transplant recipients on immune-suppressing medication.
There are good things happening in the world.

oh. i’m sure its fine and normal that a video investigating the massive bot farm/slop channel shell company connections to the russian mafia and youtube’s own implication by allowing it to continue for profit has mysteriously vanished with no word from op.

Key points:
What's been known for a long time it seems is that the parent company is owned by two Russians, based in Cyprus, and that it owns a cloud of youtube and other media channels, most of them dedicated to mindless content churning like 5 minutes crafts and a few others having done Russian propaganda such as slanted history articles.
The vid author ran a tracker that looked up the age of the commenters' *account*
This is a normal range for account ages in youtube comments:
And this is the age range for the commenter *accounts* on the 5 Minutes Craft channel: they are all newly created accounts and a majority of them are one second old.
It identifies major bot activity with the aim of creating an artificial audience, which in turns generates a huge ads revenue. This trafic and ads revenue is why the channel has a contract as an official partner with YouTube (-> massive revenue theft !)
Financially, the company is organised in offshore shell holdings that are based in money laundering countries (Seychelles, Virgin Islands). The founders were also named in the Pandora papers.
In 2020, the company, alongside other Russian Cyprus-based it companies, made a public donation that the vid author cross-referenced against a 2025 cybersecurity report, Deniability by Design, that alledged that the donation was connected to a criminal network, Vain Viper, that does ad fraud and cyberattacks.
One actor in that network was physically close to the company (office neighbirs and same lawyers) and appears to have been implicated in the hack of the Democratic National Committee.
Every time one of these loser techbro companies come out with a new version of ai chatbots they always go “omg you guys this new version is SO SCARY. It’s literally sentient and evil and threatened to take over the world and destroy humankind. We can’t even trust the public with this it’s basically a weapon it’s sooo scary and intelligent and alive. I’m literaly Oppenheimer I regret my creation that is inevitably going to be unleashed upon the world” and like. Ok. No one is forcing you to make these. Like why are you building scary superintelligent software? Just for kicks? Why are you doing it if it’s so scary to you?
(And every “new version” is exactly the same as chatgpt-4 because that’s about as advanced as they can get but that goes without saying.)
Oh hey look at that I’m not the only one who noticed this.
They built it. They're scared of it. They're selling it anyway.

Hey all, while we're busy normalizing women with hairy legs, hairy armpits and bushy pubes, let's also normalize women with hairy upper lips, hairy chins, hairy side burns, hairy chests, and all the other places where women are supposedly magically hair-free.
