They're replacing the Ten Commandments in Texas classrooms with the terms and conditions of Grindr

Unironically a more coherent use of the term than whatever the hell has been happening since October 7

She's made off with the Mackinac Bridge! But she's left this clue for you, gumshoe: All the Great Lakes might be great, but this one's only the fourth largest of them by surface area.

To those in the Jewish community who attacked @BriannaWu for refusing to endorse Mike Rogers, especially those who mocked her transgender identity or questioned her mental health: You owe her an apology. I hope you'll go to her X account and make amends. Don't wait until Yom Kippur to reflect.
@BriannaWu has been an extraordinarily brave ally to the Jewish people and those fighting the erosion of Western liberal values, enduring hostility and abuse from her own political circles at considerable personal cost.
Most Jews perceive El-Sayed as an existential threat to Jewish safety, and Brianna has repeatedly voiced those concerns. But as a transgender woman, she believes Rogers threatens her own civil rights. How difficult is it to understand her refusal to endorse him, even if you disagree?
When people feel existentially threatened, fear and anger prime their brains for action rather than discernment, narrowing attention and impairing perspective-taking. In plain English, we can become dumb and reactive, attacking the very people who stood beside us.
We've watched extremists on the far left and far right demand ideological conformity and turn on anyone who fails their loyalty tests. Are we really going to behave like them?
Moral courage isn't just something we should admire in Brianna. We have to exercise it ourselves. She stood up for us when it was costly. Now stand up for her.
I am extremely upset about the way the pro-Israel community treated me yesterday.
I understand this election is heated. I understand the Democrat’s reaction to anyone with concerns about El-Sayed has essentially been “Fuck you.”
But I’ve critiqued him daily and aggressively. I’ve said I would vote for no one in this race. Apparently, that is not enough. I have to openly endorse someone that wants to continue ending my civil rights.
What upset me the most is how, the second I don’t even disagree but abstain, the pro Israel community launched viral threads calling me a man hundreds of times. I was flat out told that I have a mental illness and can never be accepted as pro Israel, which is exactly what the Islamists think.
This was abusive and deeply unfair.
What has happened to legitimate transsexual women in the last two years under Donald Trump has been horrific. Forcibly detransitioning every single federal prisoner. Ending our protections at work from discrimination. Banning all research into figuring out how to help us. Legally reclassifying me to be a man federally.
When I ask people to name five of these civil rights I’ve lost you can’t. You frequently deny it’s happening at all or lazily point to some imaginary Sharia law taking over the United States. The Senate is not going to get to 51 votes and usher in Islamism.
It is not fair to ask me to support that continued elimination from public life. The stakes for me are very high, Republicans want to ban medication I will literally die without.
I’ve never told anyone to vote for El-Sayed. I understand why people would defect to Rogers. I am asking for the same respect back.
The thing that got me, the most is how people are so eager to see the worst in me. I don’t know what I could do to stand with the pro Israel side more than I’ve done.

I swear theatre etiquette is dead. I went to a live performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and people were shouting and throwing things the entire time. Absolutely reprehensible.
