There's a reason the state starts by going after the people you refuse to respect

Fuckin iowa jesus christ. And fucking republicans in general

Please notice that the wording they use has shifted from "marriage between one man and one woman" to "marriage between one male and one female". This is not a coincidence. GCs and terfs have no excuse to not see the blood on their hands.

obviously the porn industry is fucked up but I refuse to believe that it follows that looking at pictures of naked people is inherently evil and harmful to the body

Tesla's Dieselgate

Elon Musk lies a lot. He lies about being a “utopian socialist.” He lies about being a “free speech absolutist.” He lies about which companies he founded:

He lies about really stupid stuff, like claiming that comsats that share the same spectrum will deliver steady broadband speeds as they add more users who each get a narrower slice of that spectrum:

The fundamental laws of physics don’t care about this bullshit, but people do. The comsat lie convinced a bunch of people that pulling fiber to all our homes is literally impossible — as though the electrical and phone lines that come to our homes now were installed by an ancient, lost civilization. Pulling new cabling isn’t a mysterious art, like embalming pharaohs. We do it all the time. One of the poorest places in America installed universal fiber with a mule named “Ole Bub”:

Previous tech barons had “reality distortion fields,” but Musk just blithely contradicts himself and pretends he isn’t doing so, like a budget Steve Jobs. There’s an entire site devoted to cataloging Musk’s public lies:

Worth clicking through for the long version and all the content, there’s just so much going on here, and people keep ignoring all of it and imagining that this guy is some sort of genius engineer (he does no engineering!) or whatever.

When people talk about his brilliance, mostly they’re talking about all the things he said he’d do none of which actually happened.

It should probably also be noted that with his most successful company, SpaceX, the one decision that can be absolutely attributed to him (ordering to go ahead with the launch from flat concrete when actual engineers recommended a blast pit) directly led to a catastrophic failed launch and extreme damage (even by SpaceX’ standards) to the surrounding landscape.

He’s a conman and a dangerous idiot.

no, YOU have a microwave brain that slowly rotates blorbos. I have a washing machine brain that rotates AND soaks them and sometimes things get a little intense and it starts going THUNK THUNK THUNK and nearly breaks itself because of blorbo overload

New weird horse just dropped, folks.

A spotless giraffe was recently born at Bright’s Zoo in Limestone, TN and was just announced in the media this morning. They’re starting a public naming contest for her, of course.

I’d love to know what type of mutation causes this lack of of pattern, but I don’t know if we have genetics on that for giraffes the way we do other species. As far as is known, she’s the first spotless giraffe ever documented!

And are you sure those beautiful women aren’t whisking you away to the vet?
