One of the lawyers currently prosecuting Alex Jones got interviewed on knowledge fight. He talked about how he had to watch 150+ hours of Infowars content as background for the case.

He talked about how he had to take regular breaks because he could feel himself passively absorbing information against his will.

I can't really articulate how validating that was to hear. Sometimes I worry that I'm being overdramatic when I say shit like "hey if you're not careful, even casually browsing some types of conspiracy media can fuck with your brain" but here was an actual lawyer talking about how it affected him.

It's not necessarily the content itself, but more how it's presented. (in my opinion) I think Infowars could be considered an actual cognitohazard.

everyone's like wehhhhh why doesn't doctor house gets suuuueeed! like my man. literally every patient he sees is someone that's been trying to find a diagnosis for ages. i could live with a little medical malpractice if it were coming from someone ready to break into my home to look for allergens and not simply half heartedly listen to me before suggesting I lose weight and take ages of back and forth arguing to order a single test

"it's medical malpractice" have u ever been a doctor? most medicine is malpractice. let the man limp around chewing vicodin doing 50 invasive tests please

Once Taub (derogatory) derisively said about a patient with unexplained chronic pain “7 doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with him, what does that mean?” and House replied without even thinking “it means they’re idiots” and proceed to work his ass off to diagnose the patient Taub wanted to write off as a faker or something. If a doctor had said that when that patient was ME, I wouldn’t dream of suing them in a million years

genuinely concerned about how little queer history thats getting through to the younger members of the community. literally saw teenagers talking about how talking about pronouns wasn't a thing until 2020??? horrifying to think that they seem to insist queer culture didn't exist until they found it.

the fucking attack helicopter joke has been around since 2014!! leslie feinberg was born in 1949 and ze used ze/hir pronouns and obviously made comics about hir and hir communities identity and life! phalloplasty was first described in 1938!! christine jorgensen had surgery in the 50s to transition and published her biography in the 60s! even in the 1800s writers were talking about the need for *gender neutral* pronouns in both fiction and nonfiction!

yes, social media has let trans and queer people spread more knowledge about pronouns and identity, but acting like none of it even existed till the 2010s or even sooner is... concerning.

our older generations died, but that doesn't mean the knowledge has to die too! do not ignore and diminish the people before you.

Not to mention that many native cultures have words for third, or in between genders. Some languages weren’t didn’t even have gendered terms until colonization

so, to sum up the last couple weeks:

  • the NFT fad ended and several tokens that were supposed to be worth millions were sold for peanuts
  • terra luna tanked and dragged terra’s stablecoin off its peg. terra was the 3rd largest stablecoin at the time
  • meanwhile, people are starting to face legal consequences for stuff like fraud and money laundering
  • terra freezes their blockchain to prevent a run on the bank stablecoin
  • tether and dei also lose their pegs and tank
  • a court is forcing tether to reveal its reserve records to the public, which will definitely show that they’re backed by significantly less money than they claim
  • etherium and bitcoin both crash hard at the same time
  • tether’s market cap has dropped by several billion in the past few days, which might mean that some of the people at the top of the pyramid scheme are cashing out in dollars. just scooping up handfuls of money from tether’s reserves and running for the hills

crypto is fucking dying lol

I literally do not care what the Bible says about any political issue. I am not Christian. Christian scripture should have zero effect on my life or my personal freedoms. 

The fact that I did not mention abortion anywhere in this post, yet the replies and reblogs are filled with Christians trying to “well actually” me and/or resorting to anti-choice insults is… telling, to say the least.

So you agree? Current US laws banning abortion are based on the religious convictions of a select few?

miss piggy puts up with so much as a woman in show business and her response to misogyny is never to turn the other cheek or take the high road. it’s to physically attack people. and she’s right.
