I swear this goon shi. This is not a story. This is another way of normalising imposed male sexual dominance. This is what men should have gotten out of their system in High School. The ways that the internet is ruining humanity and it’s ability to form into a functioning society is baffling.

Apple Podcasts5lethnieUnited States2 months ago - When you’re a justice
Argument - I don’t like the rulings so the SC must be in trumps corner. Disregarding the unprecedented judicial overreach displayed in the last 9 months by some federal and appellate courts who clearly believe that they can overrule an elected president on international and domestic affairs .

Apple Podcasts2makeupmynameUnited States2 months ago - 8/29: panama playlist clickbait
I cannot believe this is a whole podcast episode. One, the data is publicly available, so I don’t understand why you keep calling it a “leak.” You can search anyone’s name on Spotify and find their playlists—it’s not news. Two, genuinely, who cares. It’s music. Playlists. Songs. If you are upset about your playlists being “leaked” by some 23 y/o who scraped Spotify, you are doing pretty well.
There are actual, real, impactful issues happening, including in tech, which is what TBD is usually f... more
