I may be out of context, but true manliness is never toxic.
What enforced standards, for example? Can you name a few so I can understand you better?
I still find it highly remarkable that male is the only human gender which is convinced that members thereof are required to PROVE that they're the gender they were born as. Of course I'm speaking of the cis members. Nobody else has to prove anything to anybody else.

He is a major donor to the republican party, a major donor to the speaker of the house, a major donor to the president’s campaign and he is in Epstein’s black book.

Keep adding more typos until someone asks you to use an LLM, see how much you can get away with.
I put black oil sunflower seed and water out for the birds and squirrels every day. My neighbor used to put out unsalted peanuts plus or minus hulled sunflower seed on his balcony, but recently stopped. Some pigeons took up in his roof and they cause all kinds of mayhem, so no more peanuts for now.
Which means they're all at my place. 😆 I just sent him a picture of TEN pigeons on my patio. It's getting to be Hitchcock levels of pigeons out there in the morning. Luckily I find them funny.

Yes, and aside from their amusement value one reason I put up with them is it's not their fault they're here. As I'm sure you know, humans domesticated and then abandoned the rock dove. If they're crapping everywhere in cities, it's our fault.

Rock doves, which is why pigeon nests look so ridiculous. In nature they nest on rocky ledges and only need a few sticks to stop eggs from rolling over the edge. But if you look at the kind of nests they make in cities, it's funny and then kind of sad.
"Rock doves have been domesticated for several thousand years, giving rise to the domestic pigeon. They may have been domesticated as long as 5,000 years ago."
That's a long history! I had no idea. I thought pigeons were their own species, and people happened to keep them as pets sometimes, kind of like parakeets.
After thousands of years living among humans, I'm not surprised at all that they adapted to our living environments, like cats and dogs. I bet the ones that survive in the city are way more adaptable in their behavior than wild rock doves. There's pretty strong selection pressure in that direction for any animal that lives around human-generated complexity and chaos. Every time there's been a mass extinction event in the past, new capabilities emerged when life finally recovered. I bet this coming age will be full of very clever and adaptable creatures, and pigeons will still be around.

Let's say it plainly: If Trump were innocent of sexual crimes, he'd want every page of the Epstein files released. Instead, he is complaining to Republicans that supporting the efforts to release Epstein's files "would be viewed as a very hostile act to the administration.” There is no way to misinterpret that--Donald Trump knows he is implicated in sexual crimes with minors.
This should cause an uprising in the nation, yet it barely makes headlines in this admin.

AI slop is more than just junk – it’s dangerous.

Don’t fall for it (and flag harmful content when you see it).

The part about supposedly “flagging” this content is super low-effort and pointless. It merely asserts that sometime you can. “Wherever it’s enabled, you can flag content that’s harmful or problematic”
Does it name one place where “it’s enabled”? No. Does it describe even one example of what to do or how? No. I don’t believe the author has any experience doing this supposed flagging. They just assume it’s probably possible sometimes. So they generically say so, with no support.
And THIS topic is added to the social media post about the article? Ridiculous. The topic of “flagging” is a throwaway afterthought at the end of the article. No need to mention it in advertising or posting.

This made me LOL: While doing some research on the MAGA wingnut Laura Loomer (for no particular reason) I found a document indexed by Constella Intelligence that shows that in 2022 someone sent Loomer a delivery from shitexpress[.]com, a real business that will let you pick from a bunch of different kinds of animal feces to ship to someone's doorstep.
The accompanying message was curiously signed, "Sorry about your pay pal 🙁 " The sender in this case appears to have chosen to send horse shit.
Having been the recipient of one of these highly odiferous packages, you somehow immediately suspect what is inside based on the stink, heft, and squishiness of the package, even before you notice the sender is shitexpress.

Today marks 30 years since the premiere of 'Xena: Warrior Princess' back in 1995. A show that was never ashamed of its campiness, but at the same time managed to be groundbreaking on multiple levels. Setting new standards for female action heroines, featuring a main character that was messy and flawed, physically strong and athletic, who started as a villain seeking redemption.
Xena, despite its cheesiness and often ridiculous premise, succeeded in pushing the boundaries of queer representation, challenged stereotypes, defied several of the sexist tropes of '90s media, explored LGBTQIA+ themes, even themes of gender identity, and made a clear statement against the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS at the time.
It may not be a flawless masterpiece, but it's a beloved cult classic for good reason.

He would have had a much more successful first term had he just left things as they were and taken the credit for it. Same with the current term. But the narcissist in him cannot do that. He believes he knows better than everybody else, and the result will be his biggest failure yet. Sadly, we all have to suffer the result too.

in reply to John Gordon 📷 • • •@Bluedonkey I actually don't think he aspires to being a dictator. He aspires to being a grifter, and in fact, he's doing a pretty good job of that. The problem is he's allied with people who do want dictatorial powers, and I'd bet that the chaos he causes in pursuit of what he thinks passes as policy is actually frustrating many of their goals.
As Doctorow and others have observed, this administration is a fragile coalition of competing factions with contradictory objectives, and it's only Trump's persona that's holding the whole mess together. Sooner or later, it's all going to implode.

in reply to Alan Langford 🇨🇦🧤🧊摏 • • •I'm pretty sure he would love to be seen as a powerful & successful leader. He idolizes people like that, but I have long felt that at least one faction in his coalition is looking for a way to turn his supporters against him so they can replace him without the backlash. Letting him break the economy, remove their healthcare and pushing his connection to Epstein all seem to me to be in service of that goal. He's too stupid to see what they're doing.
