“Watching as professional crybabies like Ben Shapiro tried to get people to boycott 'Barbie' because one of the actresses in the film (Hari Nef, who played Doctor Barbie) is trans, and seeing that has absolutely no effect on the film’s success demonstrates that the Bud Light and Target controversies and capitulations only became big deals because Bud Light and Target responded to the outrage as though it were genuine.”

Hey boomer: the reason you didn't see trans people when you were younger isn't hard to find.

What was your attitude towards trans people?

Yeah, exactly. Why would I have wanted to tell you about myself, when doing so got me ostracised, unemployed, and beaten up?

You wanna find out why you didn't know trans people, look in the mirror.

"I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler."

That last one has to be a guy who doesn't understand why he is so attracted to the Kens.

Here is how to distinguish Elon Musk’s new X.com from 1994 computer strategy gaming classic XCOM: one involves a brave struggle against freakish, hideous alien intelligence seeking to undermine world civilization with advanced technology and the other is a computer game

@gwynnion yeeeeeep.

“The real problem isn’t climate change, which would require us to cut into our profit margins to address now, but sone hypothetical threat that may be presented by Roko’s Basilisk in 500 years!”

No governmental or institutional help in the Great Meritocracy Race! It's all about fairness!
“Elon must be destroying the site on purpose he can’t be that stupid!” Last week a billionaire imploded, literally, because he thought he could outsmart the laws of physics. Never being told “no” makes a person stupid.

This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.

The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.

In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.

The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.

This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.

Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.

I was sitting on the bus next to someone wearing a mask, and I was also wearing a mask, and I proceeded to shut the fuck up about it
