a few rounds and they always come clean about who they are "This kind of Jewish supremacy is what the entire world is sick and tired of."

Hopefully we can get Disney to give us onscreen Krakoa complete with gratuitous X-Men orgies

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

if you're a left-wing Jew on Bluesky then this is true of you as well. take a shot

Me too, Brad Lander, me too.

BREAKING NYT: Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters.

when we said “bring back shame” this is exactly what we meant none of these assholes should be allowed to buy coffee in peace

Something that shouldn't need to be observed but apparently does is that the images and videos of Andrew Tate being put into handcuffs has instantly made being associated with him more scandalous for politicians even though the facts of the case haven't changed and he hasn't been convicted.

The Ohio Democratic party is censoring its own members from criticizing Amy Acton. This even includes the Pride Caucus chair who has to criticize her from their personal capacity. They've threatened to kick caucuses out that formally criticize Acton over her transphobic positions.

7. It would spread the idea, through a party that has so far remained a relatively stalwart opposition, that embracing transphobia is what winning requires. That result could be more disastrous for transgender people than any individual right-wing victory.

4. Now we know why. After prodding by Erin In The Morning, the caucus has revealed the answer: the Ohio Democratic Party itself demanded the criticism be removed, effectively barring those within the party from publicly critiquing a major candidate's transphobia.

There are at least as many American Jews who believe Israel has committed genocide as there are Jewish Republicans in the US. Which of these groups gets treated by American Jewish communal bodies as a tiny nonrepresentative fringe, and which one has major representation in these bodies?

The only good thing to come out of the dipshit Odyssey discourse is that at one point I commented “if we’re worried about accuracy, then Jason Mantzoukas should be playing Odysseus,” and now I can’t get it out of my head 😄

>doesn't matter if the natsec queers get purged because they deserved it >doesn't matter if they make HRT harder to get because you can DIY >doesn't matter if they go for the loud and annoying lefty activist queers because they're weird anyway We gotta wise up to salami slice tactics.

This is ultimately the same story as the Kansas driver's license thing. The word of the United States government is simply no good if you are a member of a minority Republicans do not like. Lucy will pull the football. You can't live a stable life like this.

i can’t wait to watch THE ODYSSEY as all christopher nolan movies should be seen — on an aging ipad i have mounted on a swingarm over my laptop at my desk

It seems sort of underdiscussed given present societal preoccupations that the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House was an honest-to-God pederast who spent years grooming schoolchildren

what's especially stupid is WMATA (of all agencies) has cracked the code on how to address this: - people in a uniform (not cops) present to deter kids from doing stupid shit and drug use - fare gates that's it, that's the secret

I really want people to internalize this: the problems from partisan disciplining of the court have already happened. The worst case now is a tit-for-tat which is better than what we got now

I came up with a joke about Penelope, but it kept unraveling

I came up with a joke about Orpheus, but it turned on me

Marvel or Top Gun?

is the sea 'wine dark' in the odyssey

the sages also answers the important question: if a man meant to fuck his goat but accidentally enters his brother-in-law's widow instead, does he have the resulting obligations to her? The answer? Yes. But not if he was just going to fuck a wall.

The fact that our actual existing bajillionaires do not do this demonstrates the extreme poverty of their inner lives and intellects, imo

You could directly fund fantastical video games that you'd love to see in the world, enriching everyone's lives in addition to your own. But instead, Elon pays someone to boost his Diablo IV account, because he has no true creativity or curiosity in his soul, he just desperately craves adulation

I promise if you give me a trillion dollars we'll get Dark Cloud 3 and a new season of Galavant!

Believing that certain cultures are incapable of self government is on its face racist

TBH I would also haven voted to end all taxpayer funded aid to Jordan because it's a shit hole monarchy that oppresses my people too, that being said, the main reason these 103 Democrats voted against it is because Jordan 1) doesn't kill children en masse and 2) actually listens to the US.

on this day in 1995, scientists discovered bisexuality. happy 31st birthday to all my fellow bs

this is also why you can't appease the right on this issue. bans on trans people in sports are the camel's nose under the tent for the entire suite of right-wing gender politics, including but not limited to bans on gay marriage, abortion, and birth control

This is why, speaking as a reporter who has covered a lot of this stuff, I find it bizarre that a lot of the commentariat don't see where anti-trans stuff is going. Gaines et al are pretty clear about how they see sports as a way to win battles that bathroom stuff didn't like a decade ago.

you can absolutely love pussy and hate women. its a bedrock stance for like a shit ton of men

Because it doesn't win over any actual voters you idiot. Look at Labour. They implemented a ban on gender affirming care for trans youth. They put in place section 28 for trans students and now they're implementing a nationwide bathroom ban. They've hemorrhaged support to the Greens and reform.

AGAIN: the #1 predictor of a mass shooter is violence against women. Cops perpetrate VAW at higher % (though exact # unknown ofc) than the gen population. At some point our culture must take seriously the fact that this is a real red flag. It requires hating women less, though.

The funny thing is, this gambit never works. Republican politicians and orgs are trans eliminationsit - there is no amount of capitulation that works. She will get the same ads run against her, and all she will have done by taking this position is to alienate a meaningful percentage of her base.

Anyway, when these guys say the Democrats have “always” cheated in elections they’re pushing the idea that the portion of the electorate that supports the Democratic Party is by definition illegitimate.

I know a lot of the focus here has been on the Dems who voted not to cut aid to Israel but I think “the majority of the caucus voted to cut aid” is a monumental sea change in Dem politics and the movement here is only going in one direction this is the most Dem support Israel will ever see again

there's that, but more generally it was a campaign about American values, rather than class struggle which is basically what everyone is going with now someone ran on fighting a "rigged!" system thats against the Working Class, his name is Bernie, he lost, twice.

To me, any Democrat who runs for President and doesn't begin by promising to fire everyone at ICE on week 1, cannot be taken seriously about anything else.

Correct. Signed, A deviant morning pervert who woke up naturally at 5:50am this morning on a day off with literally no plan

What the fuck am I supposed to do with sunlight at 7am

Great example of NY Times sanewashing Trump. No, the issue is not clarifying which ships have made it through Hormuz. He was lying. The claim that oil was "flowing like never before" is false. At most, fewer than half the pre-war volume got out. One small example of a much larger phenomenon.

it's insane how much controversial this sentiment is. I've lived my whole life stateside in places that the right gleefully vilify at every opportunity but if we ever suggest doing anything other than endlessly taking it and saying thank you get an endless chorus of clucking 'how DARE you' scolds

>A poor boy writes a song >Poirot with piano accompaniment

Yes and also they're not, to them, voting against their interests. They're voting for their social and cultural interest

they told me i had to stop building robot factories because i was "polluting the air" and "destroying the environment" okay call captain planet bitch

Low info voters are also coached that it is savvy and clever to assume all pols are corrupt liars. This let's them view "cash assistance for first time home buyers" and "mass deportation now" as equally unserious housing policy positions because obviously they're both lies

get in losers were canceling alexis ohanian for funding flock
