The child was taken out of her brain dead body, only 800gr or about 2pounds, on the 13th of June 2025, about 16 weeks after she was declared brain dead.

Adriana Smith was taken off life support 4 days after the surgery. Her eight year old son lost his mother and her corpse was made to produce a sibling. I hope he will have all the care and support he needs. As for the infant, I sincerely hope the people in charge have thought through what this means and how this child's needs can be met.

What of the rights of anyone in that ethical shit show? This is such a "our hands are tied" or "god wants this" situation that we might as well ask for someone to step in.

“Women don’t have rights in Iran, they are homophobic in Iran!”

A black woman’s dying body was used to incubate a fetus because the state said so and the Supreme Court, regurgitating debunked talking points, ruled that trans kids could be denied gender affirming care that is proven to save lives. Does that justify a foreign power bombing New Jersey indiscriminately? Like some of y’all don’t give a fuck about LGBTQ Iranians or women in that country because I never saw a people get free through just having their shit blown up

Also under capitalism you can use that tomato to plant it and get two tomatos six months later, repeat the process and sell half for 2$ each and every six months you double your tomato production

If you want to start somewhere and aren't sure here are some lists of works that have been controversial and discussed at length. You should be able to find an abundance of criticism and conversations about them, without having to start your comprehension journey of formulating your own synthesis from scratch.

i'm not saying people shouldn't be reading more books, but i do think it's funny how many people thinking "reading comprehension" is just about how good you are at reading books and not like. criticial thinking skills.

It seems like the older I get, the more irrationally angry casual censorship makes me. And it isn't just the "unalive" "grape" alleged filter-dodging vernacular, but the way normal words will be peppered with asterisks, or screenshots will have words like "gay" "hell" "fuck" etc either partially or entirely blurred. Who is this helping? What is the purpose of it, except to reinforce shame and elevate a flimsy perception of purity and safety, however those things manifest. It's so tiresome and I'm sick of it.

i ah had a dream where i was trying to get some ai to generate an image of a stupid looking political cartoon where people line up to put clocks in a vending machine and receive rocks in their back sacks for it and i was going to caption it "me in the universe where currency looks like clocks and people eat rocks and digest food by swallowing it in a back sack shaped digestive organ" and this was supposed to be funny?

I have always dreamed of interviewers asking basic questions of the killer clowns who run America. I can't believe it took Tucker Carlson to do it.

I’ve heard Cruz talk about deposing “the mullahs” for 13 years straight. During the 2016 GOP primary, he said he wanted to see if “sand glows in the dark.” You’d figure he’d learn some basic facts about the main villain in his moral universe in that time

I feel like some of you guys think "bad art" is like someone gluing rhinestones to a water melon, or a guy who made his own armchair out of Ohio license plates, or a trashy romance novel where someone says "the blue-eyed one kissed the brown-eyed one," when in reality bad art is a 1000000 Billion Dollar movie where none of the workers got paid and every single creative decision was market tested to see how lucrative of a profit it could foreseeably make to wow shareholders.

people are once again in my notes debating whether it's, like, morally okay to be reading and even enjoying smut popularized on tiktok and I have to say it's really making this passage hit extra hard

Not only are there tsc cuts to make them richer, there are also a lot of legislation that is pushed through on the daily to keep rights away from people like

Copyright

Right to sue or sue as a part of a group

Right to repair

Tenant rights

Job security

Healthcare

Access to education and education free from whims of political interests

Net neutrality

Freedom to unionize

It's not just taxes that make people poorer, it's also their access to a free and just society

It really is wild that some politicians can stand there and say "yeah we're getting rid of a program that keeps quite literally millions of people alive specifically so we can cut taxes for people who are already richer than god" as if it's a normal political stance and not so cartoonishly evil I'm legit shocked perry the platypus doesn't break through the nearest wall the minute the words leave their mouth.

Minnesota Representative, Hortman and her husband were killed in what is believed to be a targeted act of political violence last night and Senator Hoffman and his wife weren shot multiple times by a man impersonating law enforcement. As of this time Hoffman and his wife are out of surgery and alive.

There’s a live statement ongoing.

If you’re local to these affected areas and someone claiming to be police come to your door, it is advisable to dial 911 and confirm with dispatch that they are legitimate officers and not the impersonator.

I don’t know if it’s still happening but Brooklyn police were reported to be moving in pairs to avoid being confused for the impersonator who is as far as we are aware, alone.

Please, please, please if you are going to the protests across Minnesota today, be extra careful of anyone in uniform. Cops are already not our friends, but this is an added layer of unpredictable violence.
