Are there machines that can do chiropractic manipulation? I know about massage chairs but I don’t think they can snap your whole spine the right way. And is there a way to hook it up to Claude? Cracked by the Clanker

our culture needs to return to the exact compromises of 1998, but not 1988.

obviously it doesn't stop them from doing damage, but it does warm the heart a bit when you notice that most anti-trans activists seem to have no other interests, and are visibly warped by their obsessions.

on a lighter note, I have the first gig of my life next month. someone listened to my little piano clips and invited me. time to write a lot of musical theater style lyrics. "this next song comes from a dark time in my life, around 5am... it's called 'hey-whaddaya-say day'"

ideological trans hate is part of the conservative coalition, which I think is going to become a bigger part of that coalition because it is failing. the haters have nowhere else to go. the moneymakers have everywhere else to go.

is this happening because people are getting more conservative? and then what, calling their representatives? I think it makes sense to see these actions as stunts and grifts ahead of the 2026 election. what after all are republicans supposed to run on, the economy?

so things are getting sharply worse for trans people in the states, and elsewhere. it's crucial at such a juncture to try to have a clear analysis of what is happening.

it's not unimaginable that something like this will be successfully challenged in court, but such a challnge won't come in time for those trans kansans cruelly placed in legal jeopardy. it seems also hard to imagine that this will be the last such offensive

Kansas invalidates driver’s licenses, birth certificates of over 1,000 transgender residents The Kansas state government has invalidated the driver’s licenses and birth certificates of transgender residents who changed the gender on those documents, in accordance with a law that took effect o...

this week, trans people in kansas had their documents revoked overnight. this was carried out by a hardcore republican state legislature, who overrode the governor's veto and rammed it through www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I didn't use the words "totalising" or "essentialising" and these are not conceptual moves which I would reflexively oppose if done correctly. I think the article offers an incorrect analysis of social phenomena, by making an unrealistic composite picture.

except that I'm not talking about destabilization but the restoration of an impunity, which depends in a non-specific way on others to kick around, and tolerates no pushback. nothing to do with the pornographic or psychoanalytic fantasies which this author and theweleit wallow in
