I want to know who’s at the keyboard tonight because his account has been posting like this for over an hour now. 95% is just bullshit screenshots from X and videos of weirdos from TikTok but the volume and rapid fire frequency is atypical.

Trump has posted to Truth Social at least 75 times and counting in the past hour. It’s weirdo garbage produced by random people on X and TikTok across a number of topics, like conspiracy theories about Ilhan Omar and influencers who claim “communists” are attempting a color revolution in the U.S.

Julian of Norwich after eating a hazelnut: bro

"the ballroom isn't being paid for by taxpayers, it's being paid for by corporations and billionaires!!"

Everyone who attended the Your Party conference fits into one of these four simple categories:

I vastly prefer this genre of posting to the people who write tragedy porn about us going to death camps because they need to quote dunk on some marginally annoying cis person. Show some real spirit, people.

The only people who endlessly complain about color revolutions are dipshit leftie campists and Q-pilled right-wingers and the thing they have in common is they're both huffing Russian propaganda

"CANDU Can't Do." (That's a deep cut for all you Finkleman-heads out there.)

Also, I've recently had the distinct pleasure of doing *voice acting* for @aliciagoranson.bsky.social's peerless "Blood Doll," an audio drama set in the Vampire: The Masquerade 'verse. Drama, lust, politics, satire: come for the fangs and stay for the vampiric AI.

When I talk about crowdsourcing bigotry, this is what I mean. The OU case is an anti-trans campaign, full-stop. Confected outrage generated by a well-funded group of elites (far-right GOP) applying pressure to other elites (university admin).

The Twitter account for the Turning Point USA chapter at OU seems to have only started posting last week with an anti-trans pressure campaign. And then, oh gosh, what are the odds that they just happened to immediately find someone who claims to have been discriminated against by a trans person?

I did a ghost drop last night in my shop! Surprise! You can get Warrior Cat commissions, retro Shadowheart NES shells, my pin, and most of my stickers - anything that fits in a flat-ish mailer. 💛 neomeruru.bigcartel.com 💚

I took on the mythology of the "Kamala is for they/them" ad. Since the morning after the 2024 election, trans people have been scapegoated for Harris' loss, with that infamous ad at the centre of recriminations. But a deeper analysis shows that voters are largely indifferent to trans people.

a real tell in all of this is that the trans instructor wasn't alone in trashing this essay! a whole other person also said they agreed completely that it sucked. but as far as i can tell only the trans person is getting punished. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/e...

Baudrillard is basically "don't build the torment nexus" for humanities majors, though I guess in his case maybe it's closer to "can we please stop building the torment nexus, whose blueprints I have included herein as a reference so you will know what not to keep building"

this is a key point. various elite centrists and liberals have become radically pilled on transphobia (likely on Vichy Twitter) and joined the right-wing exterminationist crusade

"When we look at opinion polls about what actually motivates voters and their choices at the ballot box, trans issues are often dead last. And it’s worth noting that much of that polling makes no distinction between positive or negative views of trans rights." www.liberalcurrents.com/trans-panic-...

trans people have a a biological advantage at making pundits insane

This is a really well-done corrective to the NYT/Atlantic party line on how attitudes about trans people affect Democrats' electoral prospects. Liberal Currents continues to shine. www.liberalcurrents.com/trans-panic-...

really enjoyed this piece from @quinnae.com, digging in to how much elites convinced themselves transphobia was a winner, even as ordinary americans demonstrably just don't care that much--and what that means for dem strategy going forward

While I do spend a lot of time on the VA gubernatorial race in this essay, I'm also contextualising my argument with A) every other 2025 race, and B) every other recent election besides 2024 (which I also explain in great detail). I do feel like there's some firm ground here.

“It is difficult to overstate the failure of the transphobic strategy.” www.liberalcurrents.com/trans-panic-...

the trans panic is an elite thing most people don't have well-defined views & it's not what they vote on www.liberalcurrents.com/trans-panic-...

Today we’re talking a bit about something we will work on if we meet our funding goal. We’ve been planning The Reconstruction Papers most of the year and our difficulty getting it off the ground as we are now was part of the motive for the fundraiser. www.liberalcurrents.com/a-preview-of...

Read @quinnae.com today!

As an American living through our shit right now, I am really uncomfortable the idea that a better justice system is one that allows for the government to quickly dole out punishment when it’s politically expedient. The lack of repercussions for Grenfell is terrible, but think this one through a bit

The Cathay Pacific pilot was later sacked by the airline. To this day, most of us don't know his name but his words stay in our memory.

This is part of why, despite much triumphalism from the materialists about 2025's awesome election results, I was not inclined to write Vibe-Voting's obituary.

Finally finished. My verdict: Leia's characterisation is *much* improved from the first book. It was almost certainly McDowell's attention to draw a contrast between the uncertainty of Book 1 Leia and the confidence of her Book 2 self, it was just sketched in a rather sexist way. Still...

Reminder to add TOKYO GODFATHERS to your Christmas movie watchlist this season! Grateful to have given (English, dubbed) voice to the trans anime icon, our beloved Hana, in this Satoshi Kon holiday classic from @gkids.com! Watch it for free on Tubi or rent it on AppleTV!

Both can be true. I think there's something exquisitely twisted about the pair of them, and we're all in on some particularly depraved kink here. But also, *if* (big if) the substantive allegations are true, this is a massive indictment of the profession, I'm afraid.

If you want a sense of the kind of things Liberal Currents is willing to publish under its banner of liberalism, read my magnum opus that debunks the entire 'sex based rights' scam, where I reframe that idea as a battering ram being used against the very *idea* of human rights.

Well, I always listen to David Perry! Last year I published my book-length argument about the futility of posting, and how we're not going to dunk, troll, and flash mob our way to a better world.

If my partner were in the media and doing wildly unethical stuff for years I probably wouldn’t sit on it until I could use it to boost newsletter subscriptions.

"average french person arrested 3 times a year for corruption" factoid actualy just statistical error. average french person arrested 0 times per year. Corruptions Sarko, who lives in le XVIe arrondissement & has over 10k convictions a day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Evidence that the massive swing among young voters back to Dems that we saw in NY, VA, and NJ earlier this month is not limited to those states. Take PA: from Eday '24 to Jan 20th, young new regisrants were +5R. In the last month of this year's election they were +24D.

you should support liberal currents!

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

It's Wednesday, and that means it's time for more of The Tower! Today we're back with the rest of Ch. 7, Distortion. Therese tries to have a useful dream but instead just manages to get very sick to her stomach, and Brynn tells an extremely nasty bedtime story! www.scribblehub.com/read/1958646...

look, polyamory is extremely not for me but I have a ton of friends who it works great for, so obviously I disagree with him here but I always find it very funny when you get a bunch of outraged posts about the Pope being Catholic even if he’s pretty cool for a Pope he is, you know, the Pope
