Also why do we always hear about trans women athletes and never about trans men?

That's a matter of the psychology of right-wing hate mongers, and how easy they find it to rile people up about a non-issue.

Yeah, if I were married to Tucker Carlson I'd be pretty messed up too.

I put a bowl out once. The first kid that came emptied the whole lot into his bag and I had nothing left. So now I keep it inside and if they don't knock it's their loss and I get treats.

Why wouldn't you take health advice from this guy? I mean, apart from the fact that he has already caused disease outbreaks to kill many people?

Unfortunately, not just itself. Pandemics don't respect borders.

The temperature is also tens of thousands of degrees and the atmospheric pressure is 2000 times that on Earth. He's doing well, considering.

Spookily accurate. I like the way Earth boy's just chillin' in his office clothes (and long boots?) under the crushingly intense gravity, while the hosts bothered to put on lipstick and everything.

“It’s not the party of virtue, security — it’s not the party of strength — it’s definitely not the party of family. And to be a man and then vote for a woman just because she’s a woman is either childish — that person has mommy issues — or they are just trying to be accepted by other women,” Watters said. “I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”

To their credit, Watters’ three female co-hosts on The Five made their displeasure with his statements known, only to be shut down by former wrestler and alleged sexual harasser Tyrus.

“He quoted a scientist,” Tyrus interjected.

I know we're not supposed to patronize or insult the poor fascists, but good lord the right wing is stupid.

The people that get me are the ones who brake and you have no idea what they're doing, then they stop and you still don't know what they're doing, then they turn, and halfway through the turn they start to signal. What do they think signalling is for?

Those operatives, in turn, secretly employed the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians running for Congress and the White House, a ProPublica investigation has found.

The clandestine sharing of gun buyers’ identities — without their knowledge and consent — marked a significant departure for an industry that has long prided itself on thwarting efforts to track who owns firearms in America.

At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington, Marlin and Mossberg, handed over names, addresses and other private data to the gun industry’s chief lobbying group, the National Shooting Sports Foundation. The NSSF then entered the gun owners’ details into what would become a massive database.

With the full support of the Biden administration, Israel is waging a merciless war of extermination against the 400,000 Palestinians remaining in the northern Gaza Strip as the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly considering a plan to annex the territory.

No food, water, or medicine have entered the north since October 1 as Israeli forces have conducted a campaign of intense airstrikes and ground forces have invaded and encircled much of the area.

As it orders residents to flee the north, Israel has intensified its attacks on Deir Al-Balah, a city in central Gaza that has not suffered the vast scale of destruction unleashed by Israel in other parts of the Strip.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have fled to the city in recent months. In the early morning hours of Monday, Israel bombed a crowded tent encampment for displaced people on the grounds of Al Aqsa hospital, engulfing civilians in a massive ring of fire.

Video from the scene showed patients—some of whom appeared to be in beds attached to IV cords—being burned alive as others in the encampment tried desperately to extinguish the fires with small buckets of water.
