The abortion debate has been distorted by both sides to the point that it’s ridiculous. You have one side insisting that a clump of cells that has zero resemblance to a human is a human and the other side insisting that a fully formed fetus isn’t a human until a woman’s given birth. Both arguments are completely…

Yes this is a ridiculous spectacle. But is it any more ridiculous of a spectacle than your average Pride parade? Not really. It actually is similar in a lot of ways, which would probably be disappointing to both groups if they had the self awareness to realize it.

The problem with the argument of this whole article is that someone with BPD is an unreliable witness. You can argue about whether or not the diagnosis is accurate, but you can’t say that a true diagnosis is unfair to bring up because it does have a direct impact on the credibility of their testimony. 

This article seems to misunderstand the fundamental transaction taking place. Musk isn’t spending $44 billion out of pocket. It’s a financed deal from investors, primarily investment banks. Those investors are purchasing an asset. Temporarily feeding everyone in the world, while an admirable goal, isn’t a tangible…

Realistically, Twitter is a dumpster fire as it is and the current corporate leadership team doesn’t seem to have any incentive or will to change that so this might be something to be cautiously optimistic about. It could go either way, but I don’t really see how he could make it any worse. 

It’s a little hypocritical for a site to run stories about objectifying women as being a major issue when they run plenty of stories talking about the Big Dick Energy of male celebrities. 

I mean the real question is what man would want Ted Cruz to blow him? That’s got to be a short to non-existent list.

When all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail.

It’s a common figure of speech. It doesn’t invalidate their relationship at all. It’s the exact same way someone would put it for a hetero couple starting to have children. Phrasing it that way is literally equality. 

If seeing photos of a celebrity pregnant is enough to make you consider getting pregnant despite what you describe as “trauma” it probably means a few things. The first is that said trauma probably isn’t substantial, and is probably not actually traumatic. The second is that you have a very shallow concept of what…

You could also complain that ESPN isn’t covering bowling tournaments. Some people watch those too. Just not enough to make it worth their while. That’s the case for most women’s leagues. If you want them to get equal coverage to men’s leagues then they need to find ways to attract comparable viewership. It’s really…

It’s not the heteronormative definition of infertility. It’s biology. They aren’t infertile. That is by definition and reality true.

Self inducing an abortion isn’t a “pregnancy outcome” that’s a choice. Also, advising people to not seek medical assistance is a pretty crazy stance to take.

Yeah I know. And Smollett is just the kind of self absorbed, morally bankrupt, selfish person to flip to supporting right wing conspiracy nonsense for money that the right loves. It’s the same trajectory Candace Owens followed.

Twitter imploding would be a great thing for the world. If Elon actually caused that to happen I’d say it would make him an accidental hero.

I’m just waiting for this guy to go the way of every other media figure who got beat up by the left and become a spokesperson for right wing media. The guy will never get another acting job again so he’ll probably go the Candace Owens route and lean hard into conservative conspiracy as a new career. It wouldn’t…

There is no scientific evidence that increased trans advocacy would prevent the erosion of gay rights, so I’m not sure where you think scientific evidence comes into that at all.

You could easily argue the other way and say that the push for trans rights is what is eroding general gay rights. 

“ There are a number of problems with that, especially for transphobes. For one thing, as this article notes the biological/anatomical/hormonal aspects can be changed”

I don’t disagree with the idea that separating sports by sex largely makes sense, and I’m not a fan of hyper categorization either.
