anyway free palestine, trans women are women, things of that nature

Trans men are men, too.

That's right

That automatic bias (I do it too) is an unconscious acknowledgement of who gets publicly harassed more, change my mind.

I was just thinking about this the other day. Your thread put into words what I was feeling. Thank you.

We have to do this shit because you can't just say "trans people are people", because that fundamentally doesn't address the thing they constantly stand accused of lying about, so we have to pick a gender and it sucks how much that others trans men, but it's also still the less shitty option.

Trans people are valid gets the point across in a neutral way

WADR, no it absolutely does not, I assure you that like 85% of English speaking people who even recognize the word "valid" have either consciously or unconsciously internalized the idea that it has a slightly condescending inference most of the time.

It is the partial namesake of an infamous twitter account that mocked real trans suicides the day they happened. "Valid" is done forever.

If you've got limited characters and time and you just say "trans men are men", it sounds like you're taking an MRA angle on transness, because nothing can ever just work and make sense and be good in this fundamentally poisonous fuckass world we're all trapped in. Yaaaaay.

Actually, I highly recommend watching Ava Val's special (or at least her recent set on Canada's Got Talent.) She has incredible takes that are genuinely smart feminist comedy. youtu.be/gKN_4pBKGt8?...

Humans. We are why we can't have nice things, for the most part. I'm going to try and make an effort to be more inclusive and say the full thing, even if it takes up too much space. This dumb white cishet male appreciates the time you took to type out the above.

"The full thing" would get really long, cuz trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary people are nonbinary, agender people do not have a gender, etc

Well damn.

I wonder whether "trans people are the gender they say they are" is a good, shorter way of putting the whole thing. I think it'd embody the self identification idea thats so core to transness.

But due to patriarchy and toxic masculinity they can kind of understand a woman 'wanting to be' a man. But they can never tolerate a man 'wanting to be' a woman.

This. Every time.

It's honestly only an issue because this is the culture war the Republicans picked this time. 20 years ago, it was gay marriage. 40 years before that, it was interracial marriage. There is nothing revolutionary about anyone's sexuality. And that's how it should be, for everyone.

Correct. Also cis women who present butch. Nonbinary people who present noticeably, weird them out. ...I'm not a threat, let me pee, ffs.

What’s so hard about accepting that a trans man is a trans man. Stop pretending to be someone else. Be proud

I for one welcome my new brothers.

I think that fell under “things of that nature.”

Transwomen are transwomen, not women. Things of that nature. Yeahyeahyeah, I know. TERF. Except, of course, I'm not. Unless a huge segment of trans people are TERFs too. Whatever. Men aren't women.

Gender is a social construct so women aren’t women either

No one said men are women Cuz trans women are not men Simple

You do realize Palestinians would happily kill any trans on the spot. Might not want to conflate the two causes.

You're right, two groups of people being denied their humanity in various ways have nothing in common, I should instead side with the genocidal pariah state that couldn't even exist without getting what should be my universal healthcare money as a handout every year

You're so myopic that you have no idea who this picture is. It is the perfect depiction of inequality based on wealth. Now go sit down.

I literally say who it is in the alt text, did you think I posted this because I thought it was funny that the cars were old?

Putting extra info in the alt text is the best part. Like a hidden nugget of information for only the astute. Plus you can get more characters in your post 😂

Maybe you should have read the ALT text for the photo *before* making that post. But you didn't. Oh, well.

Why would I do that? Maybe YOU should put it in the post. How about that? Pali supporters is always first on your mind. "Joe genocide"... why aren't you out there protesting rather than commenting with your pali shit that is totally irrelevant to the OP. Get lost. YOU ARE WHY WE HAVE TRUMP FFFFFYOU

Lmao when you ask a zionist to do a minimal amount of reading and it proves them wrong they lose their minds

Hun, I think you need to sit down with a nice cup of cocoa or tea or whatever and relax a bit.

So you're taking the criticism of your idiocy well, we see.

Alt text IS part of the post! Just admit that you made a mistake, apologise and move on It’s not difficult to behave decently

BARK BARK BARK BARK GRRRR YAP YAP BARK GRRRGRRGRR YAP

Are you sure you didn't mean to reply to someone else? Because nothing you've said here makes any sense at all in reference to my post. What's a "Pali," for example? I have no idea.

They thought they were replying to me, but as they admitted in the message you're replying to they don't know how to read

This person is making up a word ("Pali") for people who think starving Gaza is wrong, and they are accusing people who have been unhappy with the U.S.'s Middle East policy of causing Trump. In short, they are an asshole.

You agree with Trump on Palestine

it's always the dog avis

...I'd say go out into the woods and let Mother Nature reclaim you for something more useful, but I feel like that'd be doing damage.

If you're going to criticise a poster for something, make sure they've actually done it? That seems like basic due diligence even for a skeet, you lazy fucker.

You must be fun at a party

Tell us more. Is it that OJ Simpson's wealth made him an unfair target? That he wouldn't have been caught if he'd had to use public transport? That police chase only white cars? Some statement about the red sedan?

You first, asswipe

OJ Simpson's Bronco is for/against a free Palestine?!?

Based

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Police traffic?

OJ's police chase in the white Bronco

OMG yes of course. I remember that!

😂

Peak 1994. It’s emblematic of the era: equally slow and fast.

😂😂😂😂😂

Couldn't find this one?

Looks familiar

Glorious! Someone has a real sense of humor. Or is a flaming idiot

WTF does OJ Simpson's slo-mo police chase have to do with Memorial Day????

It makes me feel old considering there is someone working at CBS who has the power and authority to override a mistake like this and doesn't know the context of the photo at a glance...

Could anyone who was at least a teenager in June 1994 not *immediately* recognize this?

I was 8 years old at the time and I still got it 😂

I was born in 1993 and am Australian and recognise it. It's wild that an editor wouldn't.

Not from the US, unless they were someone who was considered for the pool...

I was 12 and I recognized it!

I was 13. I saw it.

I was 10. In Belgium. I saw it.

In their defense I get why this happened. That's not the usual angle we see that particular event from. I watched it live and it took me a minute.

Is that the 405? Looks good.

😮🙄

I looked at the picture first and was thinking "man, the Onion really has the juice." Me oh my it's not the Onion.

CBS should just shut their doors now. They're willing to pay Trump because he's mad that they reported the truth. You are not journalists you are fucking tools of a dictator

Y'all jumping to the wrong conclusions...

I think that record was from 1994.

I see OJ!!!

Who is buying this crap. Let me guess

Actually, since this photo is from an Iowa publication, it tracks...

It took me a second! 🍊

Shame works! They changed it. cbs2iowa.com/news/local/m...

The comment section refers back to the OJ chase photo. Lol

INCREDIBLE

They've changed it

Can we all expect to be chased down by the entire county sheriff's department?

It took a minute. Then I recognised it as Ford's version of 'The Blues Brothers'.

That stock photo really has some juice.

eh, they're just trying to juice circulation, this bad economy has really put the squeeze on the buying public. besides, that's a killer photo.

Who is dude in red car to the left in front?

probably me, as I tried to get home from work and watch the chase on TV with the rest of the country.

And they still acquitted him 🙄

This critique of the surveillance state is a bit on the nose

O. M. G. 😳

I know that white Bronco!

@brooklynmarie.bsky.social

That was more like 30 years ago. (I'm guessing whoever picked it was still a tot when this was all over the news, but you'd have thought they'd have noticed a lot of cop cars in the image.) 🤦‍♀️

Ima reckon it was one of us olds trolling the kids.

Actually, they probably weren't even born yet.

Good point. I'm very old! :)

Me too lol 😉

That's hilarious

Is that OJ?

OJ still out there shutting down highways?

This is a farcical post.

"okay sir, and what is your name?" "my name is AC, you know who i am goddammit" 😂😂

NO THEY DIDN'T 🤣

Not the white Bronco.

... and the "glove". 😉 🙂

Oh my God, I just realized why there was a squadron of cop cars lmao I wasn't alive yet back then.

Good times

Was this AI or do they have some itern has never heard of the O.J. Simpson low speed Bronco Chase?

That had to be idiocy or AI who chose it XD

In memory of Norm Macdonald.

........ judging by this screen grab, even O.J. is travelling........ I hope he has not forgotten his BBQ gloves!

The slowest cop chase in history. If OJ was in Atlanta, his car would have been smashed into the concrete, dragged out of the car. Oh well, he can now go back into irrelevant ether where he belongs.

lol wow

American journalism at it’s finest! 🤦‍♂️

Summer of Simpson.

I can't get over how stupid keeps spreading like a pandemic.

This summer’s gonna be killer!

JFC it took me a minute, how the hell?

Hahaha.

*31 year old record

OJ on the run.

Reeks of AI.

That's the famous "Low Speed Chase" with OJ Simpson never forget that day

Well, the Juice did create a lot of traffic that day. 🤣

Nothing quite like a cold glass of OJ in the summer!

Absolute perfection. No notes.

I wish that was all the traffic there was.

🤣😂🤣

"why does that car look familiar" "those all look like cops back there for some reason" "oh"

My first thought was 'Geez what year is this, look at those front ends' My second and third thoughts accorded with yours.

"J"

😂😂

Hey! I know that Bronco!!

😂😂😂😂

🤣

Me, a person who needs new glasses: "That's a weirdly empty road for that headline. And those cars look old. Are those a bunch of cop cars? Oh God. It's the OJ chase..."

Yup, my exact line of thought.

Did they ask AI for "picture of LA traffic in summer 1994"?

This was probably selected by AI, right?

LOL! The OJ car chase! 🤣

LOL

😂😂

such an idiotic choice of photo 'cuz everybody knows oj ain't gonna enjoy his memorial day bbq anymore!

Hahaha headline could have been: “And the chase is on for a cool summer getaway”

A long vacation inside to kill for.

Is that Kramer driving? images.app.goo.gl/THk8curJSgh8...

That's . . . I recognize . . . Oh it's just any random old photo.

Is that OJ???

Lol

Is Erik Estrada on the road?

I don't care who you are. That's FUNNY!🤣

jeezus, just figured out what this was from. I haven't owned a television in decades, so I'm slow at getting pop culture references

"traffic so heavy you can not-see oh crap I heard it that time"

WTF? Is nobody there old enough to remember the OJ Simpson case?

It was 30 years ago. And I know it was 30 years ago because the trial was my mom’s bed rest entertainment. If she hadn’t been on bed rest I don’t know if I ever would have known who OJ was. I don’t think my peers know who he is.

"getting away" for the weekend....

with murder

*dum dum dum*

youtube.com/shorts/nQ-Tp...

Nice

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I realized it was a dated picture, but I wouldn't have realized the specific event without the alt text

It amuses me but also makes me feel old to know how many people see this image today and don't recognize it.

Exchange with my son (born 1998):

Same, 1994, and I got it instantly.

🤣🤣🤣

God dammit. Idiots. Out. Wandering. Around.

people can only afford 31 year old cars in this economy. thanks, biden!

*ad guy voice* Need a getaway?

No way

HAHAHA, the White Bronco pursuit revisited as a summer sample!

“Iowa, you let the police know, you let them all know, I wasn’t traveling.”

😂😂😂

It was probably chosen by AI

I remember this, Ted Cruz being escorted to the airport so he could go to Cancún while his constituents suffered power outages.

😂

If it fits, you must publish.

Ah dangit, looks like someone fixed it.

Hahahaahahahahahaahaha!

AI is killing the news Every chyron on local cable news has big errors

If the pic doesn't fit, you must act it. (Could not think of a clever word.)

“If the pic doesn’t fit, you must edit it” idk. I was trying my best to help :)

Ooo, that's perfect! 👍

🤯

huh looks kinda familar?

🤣

How many Tik Tokers won't even get it?

My assumption is that whoever picked that picture was too young to realize what it was. But surprising that it made its way through all the editors...

Appropriate place for "We're losing the ancient texts!"?

Somebody under the age of 35 was responsible for choosing this photo.

*old lady shakes fist at cloud* Kids these days don't know their HIST'RY!

No wayyyyy. Boy, I'd be interested in the back story of how they chose THIS image.

Um. Wow.

Will travelers use AC, dammit!?

Cut them some slack. There probably aren't any highways in or around Cbsvilleburg. And, even if there were/are, no-one who lives there has a camera, even on their phone, probably, except Geoff, down in IT (formerly known as the Audio/Visual Department), and it's his personal phone so ...

Gotta love a good intern

Really? That's the photo they went with? Did they think all the people who remember that day were dead?

Still better than using AI.

Looks familiar, somehow. Strange.

That has to be fake, they couldn't have made this kind of dumb mistake.

or it is utterly deliberate. if, so: maximum respect.

When your photo editor is 27

I like how we’ve evolved from “did they print an AI generated image??” to “did they think they were printing an AI generated image??”

Not only did a guilty man go free but it chummed the water for the Kardashians.

Is that from the slo-mo chase of OJ Simpson as he fled arrest?

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

🤣🤣🤣

😂

Blanco Bronco!!

Nooooooo

Someone born yesterday chose this photo because... what?

We had a family reunion that day and there were no televisions around. I didn't know what happened until I got to my motel room about 10 pm that night.

"updated" cbs2iowa.com/news/local/m...

lol i watched that live guilty as sin

Ford IS selling the bronco again

There was more traffic on I90 going to the airport yesterday.

No!!!!!

Oh noooooooo

They're calling it the summer of the century!

🤨

Its not wrong, every mass travel day is like Christmas bonus day to petty tyrants

The anchor for that night's broadcast:

Where did they dig up this relic of the past from I wonder. LOL

OJ?

Ah, yes, when the racist LAPD tried to frame a guilty man but forgot that he was rich and famous because they just saw Black.

By gawd, is that a Ford Bronco?!

*The* Ford Bronco

Hilarious at first, then remember watching the shocking verdict and knowing that misogynistic bastard got away with murdering two people

As a news photo editor this is hilarious and also I bet this was some stupid AI tool that did this

If the glove fits you just acquit!

If it’s news, you accuse.

RUN OJ! RUN!!!

Omgomgomgomg

Boner test 🚔🚔🚔 🧃 the Juice

😂

i just realized anyone younger than 35 is too young to remember this happening. i'm sure some of them heard about it, but.

34. I wouldn't have remembered when it happened, but I look up history all the time so I do know ABOUT it.

30, definitely didn't remember it happening but cultural osmosis is powerful. And the Netflix docuseries.

And by "I don't remember it" I mean I was -2 months old when the trial started

Yeah I think I’m among the youngest that remember it and I’m uhhhh significantly older than that But it was also footage that got aired a lot for some years after, I guess

My second-eldest younger sibling doesn't remember, and she's 36. She doesn't even have memories of the trial, and due to a confluence of circumstances (*) I know for a fact she watched the verdict on TV. (*) We moved that week, we had a single TV for entertainment, and I was watching the verdict.

I’m 36 and don’t remember it happening but I would bet many people as young as 30 can recognize the photo. Even just as part of an “I Love the 90’s” program or something, which is the only place I remember seeing the O.J. car chase.

I’m 30 and I only rember the OJ situation because my mom was on bed rest with me during the trial. I don’t think I’d know who he was if his trail wasn’t part of my mom’s “I brought you into this world and I can bring you out” bit.

i remember seeing it more or less live. did think at the time, why are all those nice policemen escorting Nordberg to the beach...?

I was in a bar. Stuffy place, suits and ties, reserved and quiet. Left and went to a more, uh, jovial place called “The No Way José Café.” Before we got in the door we could hear everyone in the place cheering “OJ! OJ! OJ!” When the Ba Ba Booey guy crank called Peter Jennings, the place went nuts.

For those too young to have experienced this historic moment live: youtu.be/eEqV063FBrA?...

"I brought you into this world and I can bring you out" always reminds me of "we all come into this world naked, screaming, and covered in somebody else's blood, and I plan to leave it the same way."

I’m a big fan of “we all came into this world in diapers and by gods grace that’s how we will leave it” because I work with the elderly and they have a lot of shame about their bathroom issues.

people get real weird about disability for a species where dying disabled is the best case scenario

Truly! As a disabled nurse that was raised by a disabled man it’s truly mind boggling. Did these people not have grandparents? It’s like they think the only honorable way to die is young and beautiful.

I'm around that age and the whole OJ thing was still echoing through culture when I was a kid growing up in the 2000s

they might've seen it on all the TV screens duke nukem 3d if they're into retro games?

Shouldn't that be a 30 year record?

“Hey, let’s take a ride in the Vista Cruiser!”

That’s pretty funny

"Come see the Angels in Anaheim....."

You know the clueless 23 yo intern was in charge of finding the photo

Its OK. He was definitely innocent, because the glove was a bit tight!

Killer pic.

That was in June

😅

Where are we going on vacation? Hey, I know. Let's just retrace the route OJ took trying to evade police at a low speed, laying down in the back of a white Ford Bronco! He got a police escort, maybe we can get one too!

🎵 Enjoy the view On Route 32 🎶

I’m still pissed they cut away from the game for that shit

I think about that every year at playoff time.

I was driving across west Texas to visit my parents. Every single station had it on...except an AM station out of New Orleans which had a Rockets playoff game. I listened to the game.

Jealous! Only had antenna TV lol couldn't escape

I was babysitting for a neighborhood kid and I was so excited to get to stay up late and watch TV. It got preempted for the chase and I fell asleep on the neighbor’s couch.

Me too!! Only reason I remember exactly where I was.

it derailed hasselhoff's comeback show too

The Knicks were unwatchable

They won that game

Very few posts have me literally cackling out loud - this is the exception. Wtaf CBS affiliate. Lol

Wow.

If it weren't for Shrek, I wouldn't have understood

Is this real??? Holy shit.

Lmao

I always felt bad for the poor guy in the red Sentra...

Why? I bet he tells that story to everyone who will listen.

I’d have that picture framed in the living room

i'd still be on occasional local radio talkback.

Forget 9/11, this is real millennial "where were you when"

*31-year-old record

The other best part of this photo pic, besides the obvious: The highway is virtually empty. Record driving travel; better post empty highway pic.

He was saying “this is AC Dammit” but this summer you’ll be SAVING on AC with these energy efficient tips

No way lol

Oh, no. I laughed so hard. I had to grab my inhaler.

I'm guessing the person (or stupid AI) that chose this wasn't alive in 1994.

or, invert that, and think "i wonder how many people will remember or recognise this?"

I was still in elementary school and I remember every second of that shit lol.

"we're involved in a low speed chase!!!" was bizarre then. just as bizarre now.
