More Michael Tait accusers are speaking up

John Fetterman, Dan Bongino, Elon Musk. Truly, our world is rich with grown adult men who can’t decide if they want to be unflappable alpha tough guys or sad tumblr dickweeds. And they rule over us, and it feels great, and we love it.

I will never understand why the media feels the need to whitewash RFK Jr constantly. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Leaving aside the egregious comparison to Larry Kramer, RFK's ideas about COVID were treated as false because they were false! He has spent his entire adult life promoting ideas that are wrong and have literally gotten children killed. How *should* we treat a figure like this?

Kat's campaign is lightning in a bottle. I wish more Dems would follow Kat's lead. As in, be leaders.

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

If people believe they will materially benefit from the removal of a marginalised group's rights, they will often support it. They don't need to be ideologically commited to hatred of those groups. You don't need brainwashing. Apathy and self-interest is enough.

Thinking about Nazi Germany for example. Was the population of Germany broadly antisemitic? Of course. Were Jewish people being systemically demonised? Of course. But shopkeepers didn't just support pogroms because they hated Jews - but also because it put their Jewish competitors out of business.

The hard truth is that there are some products you just can't make in America. These must be imported from elsewhere. Like chocolates, for example. American workers will always become overwhelmed by the speed of the conveyor belt. They'll end up shoving the sweets into their mouths and blouses

No, the Democratic Party isn't losing because it's Too Woke:

Former Donda Academy employees alleged in lawsuits that Kanye West compared himself to Hitler, “minus the gas chambers,” refused to allow faculty to teach subjects such as Black history and made lewd comments to them. www.latimes.com/entertainme...

Thank you @screenrant.bsky.social for yet another lovely article about Maya/Carina and #Station19 We could’ve had it all…and we still could. Cc: Hulu and Shondaland!! 🔗 screenrant.com/station-19-c... #SaveStation19

cancelled tv show you will never stop thinking about Was Prodigal Son silly? Yes, and that's why I loved it, they didn't have to leave me on a cliffhanger

kat has not yet confirmed her support for my $7 Snickers Bar of Xanax policy but i think you should support her anyway

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

I too am interested in knowing who is paying, or offering to pay, this guy.

I was recently leaked a document that was written by and for think tank and DNC affiliated policy wonks and circulated in private chats. It describes in unsparing terms the threat Curtis Yarvin, Neoreactionary tech founders, and Elon Musk pose to democracy. shatterzone.substack.com/p/democratic...

I'm don't think the data supports that the global far-right is radicalizing "almost exclusively young men". The global far right is recruiting large numbers of men and women in the 30-65 age bracket. The reason young men stand out in analysis is because young women are the ONLY group moving left.

me when I hear of someone set to make bad decisions re: wills and estate planning

I think it's so funny when clients use AI to create briefs, stress how much they hate AI, and run my work through an AI checker to make sure I didn't do what they did.

"I'm gonna call Daddy if you don't let me do what I want" isn't giving a whole lot of 'masculine energy'

Are you interested in reading a bonus chapter of For Her? #Station19 Because I wrote one. #MarinaSpinOff “How did you come to be so blessed?” — we jump forward in time to see what Maya, Carina, Valentina, and co are up to #fanfic archiveofourown.org/works/619647...

A Happy Valentine's Day Marina one-shot, you say? A seriously silly Marina one-shot? Right now? I don't mind if I do! We've all been changed from what we were — Maya wakes up to a BIG surprise. #SaveStation19 #MarinaSpinOff #fanfic archiveofourown.org/works/63062623

Horrified by this e-mail I got from a real illustration agency this morning, advertising the chance to *USE AI* to generate images in the style of one of their illustrators. You join their plan for $$$, pick an artist, give the AI a prompt, then reach out if you want specialization.

I want to talk about how junk science ruins innocent lives. The criminal legal system is overwhelmed by junk science. IT IS AN OUTRAGE. If you're not deeply disturbed by what's going on, I need you to pay close attention. Let me explain. 🧵/x

NEW: A group known as the 'puppygirl hacker polycule' has leaked thousands of police training & policy manuals from departments across the country www.dailydot.com/debug/lexipo...

I bet it felt good as hell to hit Anita Bryant right in the face with that pie

Academics ignore procedure and mandates all the time. They fudge due dates, ignore deadlines, pretend to forget rules. And so when I see them complying in advance with non-laws, it tells me something really gross about them.

A good illustration of first vs second Trump term. In the first, Trump drew a fake hurricane path on a map with a sharpie. In the second, Elon Musk’s twentysomething minions have taken over computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration directly.

Fucking walloper, indeed

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I’m SO grateful for the endorsement of @bradleyonishi.bsky.social for my new book SHAME-SEX ATTRACTION: SURVIVORS’ STORIES OF CONVERSION THERAPY (link below to purchase a copy of your own!), not to mention all his support over the years. Feeling the love today! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Absolutely. The degree to which congressional Dems should break the norms they've respected in the past ought to be proportional to the threat posed by what the administration is now doing, and that threat is unlike anything we've ever seen.

I understand that everything feels awful, but if you want to revel in someone else's misfortune — you could read all the dumb ways Lane Bishop has managed to die. I won't spoil it by telling you the HOW, just that he WILL/ DID bite the dust ⚰️amusingly in these Marina fics👇

Gf just said this Hallmark guy I like reminds her of "that guy from Glee you hate" and what the fuck are you doing to me?

Watching documentaries with my girlfriend is a nightmare because she only tunes in after 15 minutes, and then I have to explain the entire premise of the documentary… and then she tunes back out.

Me, a PeeWee Herman enthusiast You, a well adjusted person

I was raised Baptist, and so every metal song makes my skin crawl and sets off alarm bells for evil in my brain. Which I think is a very funny reaction to music.

Seeing a job offer in my morning email notifications and simply refusing to open my emails because the thought of reading it is stressing me out. Ah, anxiety, I've missed you.

Checking in on Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing:

This is actually a huge factor in American politics. Americans generally overestimate minority groups and underestimate majority groups by huge margins: today.yougov.com/politics/art...
