“IF THEY DON’T HAVE ANOTHER CHILD WITH CF” This post is about receiving an IVF grant they will use to create not just one additional child but dozens and many will inevitably have CF. Just because the embryo is three days old and lives in a lab does not mean that they did not “have” him. He is alive. They just chose not to SEE him or VALUE him.

Euphemism Translator: Congratulations to our September 2026 recipients, who received a grant to discover and destroy (or eternally freeze) any embryo that shares their living daughter's genetic condition. Chelsea and Dayton already have a two-year-old, Chase, who has Cystic Fibrosis, a life they love, a child they treasure. But when considering a sibling, they decided a child like Chase was no longer acceptable. So they will create several embryos in a lab, test each for the gene Chase carries, and mark the affected ones as undesirable. Baby Quest is funding the selection. The ones who pass the test will be told, one day, about "all the people who helped bring them into our lives" and not about the brothers and sisters who were graded and rejected for having the same condition as the adorable child in the photo. This is eugenics with a smiling family at sunset. The message to Chase, eventually, is unavoidable: we loved you, but we made sure your sibling wouldn't be you.

“If you don’t confess, if you don’t sign this paper, we’ll rape your sister in front of you.” In January 2026, 21-year-old twin sisters Taraneh and Romina Rahimi were dragged from their beds by the IRGC following anti-regime protests in Iran. They have been abused, tortured, denied medical treatment and threatened with rape and sexual abuse. Taraneh’s injuries are reportedly so severe she cannot walk. In August, following a sham trial where they were denied legal representation, the girls were convicted of “waging war against God.”. Taraneh was sentenced to DEATH. Romina was sentenced to 25 YEARS in prison. For protesting against a brutal Islamist dictatorship that denies women their most basic human rights. This is the Islamic Republic’s justice system.

I have a nightmare that "AI slop" as a writing style continues to grab market share in the information landscape, eventually becoming the dominant style of all major content vehicles (novels, movies, poems, theater, music, grammar etc etc). It becomes so prevalent that the vast majority of human-created writing eventually become indistinguishable from AI slop. And not long after all our writing becomes AI slop, all our thinking will become AI slop, and not long after that, our lives will become AI slop

Raunaq Alam, along with two co-defendants, vandalized a Texas church. Then claimed it was their first amendment right to do so.

I mean, holy shit: "But usually it's a safe assumption that the name Muhammad is packaged with a barbaric ideology that is antithetical to women's rights and liberal western values."

Fuck you and your poor excuse of "self preservation" El Sayed was born and raised here and has been an asset to Michigan You are just a Nazi racist cvnt

Any time I see Billie Eilish in the news, she's either complaining about capitalism or trying to sell me something.

Can somebody name me a country whose leaders have touted postcolonial theory and rhetoric in its nascent state, that is actually successful today? The lessons for Gaza are in history: every attempt at grounding your founding ethos in grievance never works out. As the European powers withdrew from their colonies in the early part of the 20th century, those leaders in Africa and South Asia that drew heavily on postcolonial theory to critique colonial legacies in order to usurp power and shape their national identities and policies, were not as successful as those who didn't. Why were the Four Asian Tigers (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea) so successful in achieving high levels of development and economic growth? It's because they all prioritized the economy over other social issues. Two of them - HK and Singapore - did not shit all over their colonial legacy and instead, built on it. When Deng Xiaopeng decided to pivot and bring China into modernity, he focused on market reforms and an overall drive to develop its export economy and rapid industrialization. It's only now that you hear murmurings of stirring up ghosts of the Opium War and "Western humiliation." By contrast, social and economic issues were always on the forefront in India and deployed cynically for power grabs, and so developmentally, it lagged behind. Take it from Lee Kuan Yew on the British: "the British left institutions behind them, including in Singapore. We had the rule of law, we had statutes, we had the English language and we were wise enough not to change any of that. They have helped us to grow. Their institutions were already working. What I did was to make sure that we did not subvert the institutions but reinforced them." The playbook is so transparent and it's been tried and tested. Postcolonial theory is a CANCER for the well-being and prosperity of the truly marginalized people. It retards development in so many ways, including and most importantly, in hacking the collective psyche.

सऊदी अरब में बांग्लादेश के दंपति का सर कलम करके मौत की सजा देने के बाद उनके शव बांग्लादेश पहुंच गए जिसका अंतिम संस्कार कर दिया गया पता चल रहा है कि उन दोनों की एक 8 साल की बेटी भी है जो अब अनाथ हो गई अब जाकर बांग्लादेश के दंपति की मौत की सजा के मामले पर पूरी घटनाक्रम सऊदी अरब ने सामने रखा है बांग्लादेश का एक दंपति जो पति-पत्नी थे वह उमरा करने सऊदी अरब गए मक्का की एक मस्जिद में उन्होंने नमाज अदा किया और भाव विभोर होकर एक दूसरे से गले लग गए और एक दूसरे को kiss कर लिया और यह सब करते हुए उनकी आंखों में आंसू थे जाहिर सी बात है कि उनका एक सपना पूरा हुआ था कि वह उमरा पर आए हैं तो यह उन्होंने किसी अश्लीलता की वजह से नहीं किया था बल्कि भाव विभोर होकर किया था और एक पाकिस्तानी ने उनका वीडियो बनाकर वायरल कर दिया और उनका सर कलम हो गया ये जो सोच है ना कि दो लोगों के एक दुसरे को चूमने से खुदा नाराज हो जाएगा और गर्दन काटने से खुश हो जाएगा यही कट्टरपंथ की सबसे बड़ी बीमारी है। एक तरफ कहते हो इस्लाम अमन का मजहब है, दूसरी तरफ एक रील, एक चुंबन पर सर कलम? मक्का की मस्जिद क्या इबादत की जगह है या तुम्हारे अहंकार का कत्लगाह? अगर खुदा इतना ही कमजोर है कि दो लोगों के प्यार से उसकी मस्जिद नापाक हो जाती है, तो फिर वो खुदा कैसा? खुदा को तुम्हारी तलवार की जरूरत क्यों है अपनी हिफाजत के लिए? तुमने दो लोगों को नहीं मारा, तुमने ये साबित किया है कि तुम्हारी सोच आज भी 7वीं सदी के रेगिस्तान में ही अटकी हुई है। जहाँ प्यार गुनाह है और कत्ल इंसाफ। और फिर कहते हो दुनिया इस्लामोफोबिक है - दुनिया तुम्हारे इस कृत्य से डरती है, तुम्हारे मजहब से नहीं। बेटी अनाथ हो गई, दो परिवार खत्म, और तुम्हें लगा तुमने धर्म बचा लिया? तुमने धर्म नहीं, अपनी दरिंदगी का प्रदर्शन किया है। #SaudiArabia #BangladeshiCouple

Last Halloween my friend and I gave kids the option of king-sized candy or homegrown potatoes and the results were...surprising

Fatima, every place, every country has some boundaries which you're not supposed to trespass. Haram isn't just "any" place, Muslims consider it the most sacred place and you're deliberately choosing it for your horny outlet? And then expect mercy from their govt for trespassing?
