Do you remember...A Foot in Coldwater Formed in 1970 in Toronto, from 1973 to 1975, the band had three songs hit the Top 30 in Canada including (Make Me Do) Anything You Want. The band has reunited occasionally including at a Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame event.

If your child is questioning their gender, it's not because someone put the idea in their head. It's not because someone influenced them. It's not because someone is transing them behind your back. Studies show that some children know their gender identity as young as 4 to 7.

Something I will never understand as long as I live is phony intellectual Republicans giving free advice to Democrats. The only advice I have for Republican politicians I'd care to share with them can't be posted on here

We're told that trans children are the result of influence by their parents or teachers. We're told that children transitioning is wrong. Here's the thing, though: that's bullshit. Trans children exist. I know because I was one. Forcing me through natal puberty nearly killed me.

or intermarried, they'd disown me. The reason I tell this story is not for trans trauma porn. Instead, I tell this story because even now, most people - even those on the political left - remain convinced there is no such thing as a trans child.

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

Every goddamn story about whether or not Data was a person was about US. They were stories about prejudice or family or the mind or the soul or some other aspect of the human condition! None of them were ACTUALLY about artificial intelligence! But techbros don't do media literacy.

If I worked in graphic novels, I’d be forever using the onomatopoeia “trump trump trump” for the sound made by a group of jackboot wearers as they march in lockstep.

"One of the greatest virtues kids have, and young people have, is disobedience. I actually think disobedience is a virtue. We are now falling into a herd mentality that is so rigorously codified. I think disobedience is essential for the self."
