I refuse to believe Catherine is a real person. Please tell me this a #RusselBrand fan bot.
So Russell Brand and a fan have consensual sex, but because he pulled it from her vagina and put it up her bum without consent that's rape? Have I got this right? #RusselBrand
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Under UK law, consent to vaginal sex does not mean consent to anal sex. Non-consensual anal penetration is rape, as consent must be specific to each act and can be withdrawn at any time. cps.gov.uk/types-crime/vi… rapecrisis.org.uk/get-informed/t… legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/…

As someone who suffered years of childhood sexual abuses and was diagnosed with CPTSD, I can confirm the science here. I often question if I imagined it. Looking at my brain MRI is physical proof I did not. Oddly enough, that helps the healing process.

Someone tweeted about putting up their Christmas tree today and I blocked them bc it's obvious any other opinion they have will be trash.

Both sides of the AI debate are so stupid at this point. Asking a largely geriatric Congress to regulate and/or ban something they don't even understand is insane. So is "the race to win AI." China is already way ahead and beats America in everything. Stop being delusional.
Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.

This isn't complicated. It's only complicated to people who live in the political extreme which is less than 10% of Americans. You can be fine with trans people existing and NOT be fine with them in women's bathrooms and women's sports. It's NOT transphobic. It's common sense.
Trans people winning in red states while anti-trans ballot props win everywhere is either an indication that voters are ok with trans people but won’t budge on sports/bathroom (bad) or that voters broadly dislike “transgenderism” but not trans people they can name (also bad)

No matter what your political beliefs are, these midterms taught us three things... 1. Endorsements don't matter. 2. Huge campaign contributions don't matter. 3. Gerrymandering doesn't matter. Americans hold all the power if they just get out and vote!

Sooo...we're not getting those $5,000 checks then?

That's a W, Heather. Both the economy and sports are healing! 🇺🇸

Americans vote with their wallets. If this means I have to put pronouns in my email signature now to get the economy back on the right track, so be it. He/Him
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Over $900,000,000,000 added to the US stock market at open after Democrats win control of both the US House and Senate.

Elon's got jokes, but he spent $474M on Republicans in the midterms bc he knew if Dems won they are going to open a criminal investigation on him surrounding DOGE among other things. He will ask for a pardon from the President. Watch and see.
Guess my election-interfering space lasers didn’t work this time 🤷‍♂️

Trump told Americans to vote like he was on the ballot and they certainly did. 🧹🧹

I do not regret not buying the iPhone Duo.
Apple's $2000 new foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, is facing early complaints from buyers reporting that the inner screen cracks along the center hinge after just a few hours or a small number of folds

I voted over a month ago! Waiting until the last day to vote and wasting your evening standing in a line like it's 2019 is weird. 🤷‍♂️

Dead Internet Theory is absolutely real, but I also think we underestimate how stupid a lot of humans are and how they cling to confirmation bias. They want to be entertained more than they want to be educated. And the truth is rarely as entertaining as the lavish tale.
The fatal Learjet accident yesterday was a tragedy. Full stop. But what’s becoming increasingly concerning is the discourse surrounding it with conspiracy theories, women/DEI blame, and widespread misattribution of facts. Click into almost any viral thread and you’ll see the same thing of parrot-like comments repeating identical talking points, just worded slightly differently. Some are obviously bots. Others are harder to distinguish. This is happening across every social media platform, every day, around every major headline, election, and trending topic. If you don’t think the dead internet theory is real, you’re wrong. It is. And if you don’t think it’s harmful, I will argue that you haven’t fully grasped how much of what we perceive as organic engagement, public opinion, and meaningful discourse is manufactured. We’re increasingly losing the ability to distinguish what’s real, what’s human vs bot, and what is actually worth paying attention to.

If I graduated from college with over $350K in student loans WITHOUT a law or medical degree to show for it, I'd kill myself.
My student loans were taken out based on generous income based repayment plans with monthly payments of around $500. Now thanks to Trump killing off the SAVE plan for no reason but he hated Biden it will be ballooning to $1400 a month and will end up at 4Xs the loan amounts. How do I sue for breech of contract??
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Contrary to the post, loans predate SAVE (created 2023; PhD 2015) & were under prior IDR plans at lower income then. SAVE vacated by Mar 2026 court order after litigation/settlement, not Trump alone. studentaid.gov/courtactions studentaid.gov/articles/save/ socialsciences.uoregon.edu/political-scie… Screenshot shows new RAP payments.

Nike Yeezy Uggs mashup. 🤔 Something tells me Nike's design team takes creative direction from AI slop.
