the tragedy of Hamilton's Pharmacopeia is that it is some of the most interesting investigative journalism thats been done in the modern era into the drug culture of modern america, but Hamilton himself is without a doubt the wettest, most incurious, uncharismatic, mouthbreathing ratman Vice has ever had on staff, which is REAL hard bar to clear as they specialize in that sort of thing. he has no interest in, and nothing to say about, literally anything except the molecules themselves, which are in all cases the single least interesting subject matter in any drug story. an enormous waste of time and money

[3liza]

DRUGS is not the point of drugs. the point of drugs is what they do, specifically to people, and then what happens to culture as a result. the molecule is pure math. interesting to robot people (me) sure, not interesting to make television out of. television is about culture

i feel comfortable criticising Hamilton because i feel we are kindred spirits, i too am an offputting robot person who could easily have fucked up a show in this manner as well. but i can see where he went wrong and i think its a shame

Turkey to imprison LGBT advocates, criminalize same-sex ceremonies in new bill: report - Stockholm Center for Freedom

Turkey’s justice ministry is drafting legislation that would imprison people for publicly praising LGBT identity, criminalize same-sex engag

[bisexualantagonist]

EXTRA INFO:

The Bill hasn't passed yet; however it is very likely. Turkey just shut down the social media accounts of LGBT+ organizations, and quietly banned/"made not possible to see" multiple dating apps for LGBT people such as Taimi. These are small steps leading up to this. Just less than a year ago the distribution of Estrogen was made ten times harder and hormone replacement therapy laws upped the transitioning age from 18 to 21. Please speak for us.

Gender is biological and immutable, which is why it obviously requires the government, corporations, and your teachers spying on you constantly and reporting any form of non-conformity to the local Gender Stasi.

Children are born into a state of implicit debt.

Good parents forgive this debt. Bad parents expect it to be repaid, one way or another. The accepted currencies are varied and cryptic and might be mostly innocuous or they might be horrifically criminal.

Many families don’t realize that there is a debt until the child defaults on it somehow. That could be for any reason—the child simply fails to deliver on the parental investment by not adequately being the child they paid for.

“Inspiration porn” is a disability term, but I’m using it here because it’s appropriately provocative, and because the state of being a child is functionally a disability. A child who fails to be life-affirming and inspirational and to perform heartwarming innocence is breaking a contract, and adults are no longer obligated to uphold their own end and nurture the child. A child is a resource from which inspiration porn can be mined, or it is a kind of brood parasite.

DSA is 100% experiencing an “accidentally became important at work and it’s ruining my life” moment. I joined back up after leaving, I would recommend others do the same. Gotta seize the moment.

If you are an actual leftist, join the DSA to steer it towards actual leftward movement and not socdem milquetoast compromises

when i was getting trained as a welder the guys started playing sneaky grabass with each other and with me. i almost hit a few people while holding dangerous tools in my hand because they wouldn’t stop grabbing me from behind, then laughing that i ‘almost’ hit them, so i finally had to go to the instructor and say, look, i’ve had years and years of self defense training due the fact i’m a very small weirdo who is in legitimate danger of getting hatecrimed and at some point one of these guys is going to goose me again and im going to bury a wrench in his eye. get them to stop grabbing me, because i don’t want to get kicked out for hitting people.

the next day i ended up punching someone in the face with a doughnut in my fist because she thought i was being a big fucking buzzkill who tattled to teacher about a harmless game, and, guess what, grabbed my butt. i got icing all over her hair. she complained to teacher...who let everyone know that this was why they weren’t supposed to be playing grabass in the fucking shop.

anyway don’t fucking sneak up on twitchy little queers with hypervigilance, it fucking sucks and you’re lucky if you get a doughnut to a face instead of a hammer.

given that this was a welding class, I was expecting this to end up so much worse

Hey, did y'all see this?

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.
