And as far as I know, "tenderqueer" is mostly used to describe people in queer communities who use social justice language to disguise their own toxic or manipulative behavior. For example, someone who openly talks about their sexual encounters or what makes them horny in great detail, without regard for the social circumstances, and then responds to any pushback by accusing the other person of not being sex-positive.

I hate that I have encountered this repeatedly

Or people who dress up obvious vengeance against anyone who jilted them

my commentary about them loving up is not about immediate consequences for the GOP, it's about how they made a massive unforced error and gave their opponents an enormous PR win for zero gain.

That's what loving gets me about it, they did the bad thing for obviously bad reasons and there's not a single part of how it played out that didn't undercut their own position and make their attempted victims out to be heroes, inspiringly thwarting the 80s movie villains

Usually there's some ground trading even in profoundly one sided outcomes, but here it's like spaceman sideshow bob visits Rake Planet

Also we’ve still not heard from Mitch McConnell a month after he was hospitalized for a “concussion” which requires two weeks in inpatient rehab. Love to be ruled by a decaying gerontocracy.

Gonna reiterate that McConnell is almost definitely hosed up rull bad right now. 81, hefty anticoagulants, busted some ribs and concussed himself. None of this is a good combo and usually it's when you start talking with a loved one about assisted living

Spoilering that tweet for images of a man being killed on the NY subway. what was really startling to me was the amount of replies insisting that they know their jujitsu and that was clearly a non-lethal choke. Despite ...the dude dying.

I don't know if this says anything new about USA or Twitter, but both the act and the response are certainly something to behold.

And yes, you can obviously guess the race of both participants without having to click

Too many people think chokeholds and other pressure on the neck type poo poo is something you can just apply then turn off once you get your video game KO

A fifty percent recovery from pancreatic cancer, where it's just full-out recovery recovery, not just kicking the metastasis/fatal growth can down the road five years or so, would be one of the absolutely most dramatic prognosis turnarounds in the history of cancer being an absolute dickbag.

Because pancreatic cancer is King Nightmare of cancers in so many ways

Jun 22, 2021

This is all important because a lot of pancreatic cancer being "successfully treated" basically means "we retarded the carcinomic spread enough that they didn't kill the patient for a few years" as I understand it

Relapse free recovery isn't pushing back the clock like that, it's removing it. Without surgery, that you can't really do on the pancreas anyway because it's a frail softie held together with prayers

I barely resist most bodyshaming of trump but I absolutely can't let go of his eternal desperate clinging to look like a villain finance dude from an 80s movie and how he will never ever ever ever stop chasing that dragon even as his mind slips and it gets harder to put spraytan on that pig

Like the application of his routine will get shudder and more inconsistent and I hope we get to some kind of Giuliani's melting hair moment

My experience with the New York City subway is such:

In ~18 months of using the DC metro, there was no poop.

The second time I used the New York City subway, there was poop.

One time I was waiting for the mbta red line and two police officers were very gently but insistently requesting a woman either accept medical intervention or just leave the station because she had done a rather much of the poo all over herself and were insisting that, while they were very sorry, they had to insist she couldn't stay on the public subway platform while being a biohazard

Any significant recession kills people, the next American recession would do a better than average job of killing people because of the broad percentages of American life that got deathmarched to the very edge, the broader percentage of the world population who's gonna catch the rear end end of market collapse, and let's not forget the US medical care system is mostly hanging by a thread, so there's six digits more casualties from Healthcare underservice

So a substantial wrinkle to this argument is that, if I'm looking at the bill correctly, the exemptions added to the SNAP work requirements aren't just for those who are being impacted by the raising of the age limit from 50 to 55 - they impact everyone who is homeless, a veteran, or a former foster kid under 25. So depending on how the numbers shake out, this bill may actually let more people onto food stamps than it's kicking off.
