Thinking about how you shouldn’t mourn your life while you’re still living it, lately. Like yes of course we are cursed with the knowledge of our own mortality and the ability to feel sad about it, but don’t become death-in-life because of it, if that makes sense.

I genuinely cannot emphasize this enough. Law enforcement manufacturing evidence and testilying isn't novel to the Trump administration. It's not even more common. They're just worse at it so they're more easily caught doing it.

Really interesting tidbits in this latest NYT focus group

There is no future wherein we limit artistic freedom around sex, while not also harming LGBTQ+ people, & increasing the threat of sexual abuse to children via loss of sexual education. This is an integral part of fascisms rise. Accept that and get on board, or STFU. Otherwise you're aiding fascists

everybody hates these guys, their ideas are stupid, and you do not have to fall into the trap of assuming trump’s win says anything meaningful about what americans actually want. for instance, americans actually don’t want to ban vaccines. they want this guy banished to a desert island

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad." And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

I’ll be solving crosswords with @wordgarbler.bsky.social on stream, starting…. now! www.twitch.tv/megaphonicfm

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

Also let me just say if a sex scene "literally ruins a film" for you, you have some deep, deep issues to address.

Studies keep showing the amount of sex in film and TV is lower than at any point since the Hays Code! But people are so angry about this imaginary excess! Young people are grossed out by the human body and intimacy because they're raised as shut-ins with minimal human contact. Secular prude culture

Good fucking GOD, @npr.org what is WRONG with you

lmao. see, people hate on "defund the police" because both political parties dragged it, but they still support what it actually means

If you believe in the End Times Antichrist, it's actually really weird not to want him to show up as soon as possible so the whole Apocalypse and Second Coming can happen.

Just a reminder that these "pivotal votes" that the Democrats got in these recent special elections aren't pickups. They are pivotal seats that have been vacant for months because the Democrats who previously held them ran for office notwithstanding age and cancer diagnoses, then died in office.

Q: What do you call a company that’s afraid to offend white supremacists? A: a white supremacist company

“Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?” “Bart Gets an Elephant” and “Much Apu About Nothing” collectively explain American politics and society today

I know I should hold compassion and grace in my heart or wtf ever, but I’ve always thought people who buy into “the rapture is this Tuesday” scams are very obviously cowards and weaklings. Depressing that it occurs so regularly.

Good news, my heart is “normal”! Could have fooled me, yuk yuk yuk.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Just a reminder that, despite what these freaks would have you think, antivaxx is extremely unpopular and we need to attack them relentlessly for putting insane dipshittery over our health

Fuck a bluesky blackout, we need a whiteout. Cum everywhere, a week of moderators being unable to escape The Cum.

A misconception that irks me is that fossil fuels are dinosaurs. No! You don’t fuel your car with dead dinosaurs! Fossil fuels come from the remains of marine microorganisms! youtu.be/GkfowZ0FSu0?...

In a single attack Israel murdered nearly three times as many journalists as were killed in the Charlie Hebdo massacre. This is a state terror attack. They have now killed nearly 250 journalists in two years. More than Putin has killed in 20 years. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Every single criticism of BlueSky is valid except somehow the one the pundits stumbled upon, which is roughly equivalent to kicking down the door of a KFC and incredulously asking everyone if they are aware they are eating fried chicken.

All animations from 2022 (Watch at own risk)

We all know grubs are very smart (next question is, is cum vegan..?)

The reaction Disney fans are having makes think maybe the Harry Potter fans are just bigots who don’t care after all.

Tori Amos released ‘To Venus And Back’ 26 years ago on September 20, 1999 album.ink/toriamosTVAB

“You don’t like AI therapists because they’re a threat to your income” No, I don’t like AI therapists because they are harmful!

It’s pretty funny that Eminem became a guy who would be really excited to vote for Mayor Pete. It’s like he received the exact opposite energy Kanye got. He’s probably at home in a comfy chair reading a John le Carre novel right now.

Remember when Ben Shapiro said he wanted to make a documentary about a bunch of dudes dressing up as women to play in women’s sports, but it turned out that wouldn’t work because there were already regulations in place, so he had to write a fictional script about his imaginary scenario

It's the same exact thing that happened with youth GAC, Republicans lied that doctors were giving out hrt and surgery like candy, demanded "common sense" policy for guardrails like psych evals and waiting periods over years WHEN THOSE EXACT GUARDRAILS EXISTED FOR DECADES

Where is his condemnation of the endless amount of harassment Erika Ishii has received because they're playing the main character in Yotei?

I'm so tired of the pretense that gender-critical gay people are "the silent majority" instead of fucking weirdos who weren't doing any better in putatively cis-only spaces and who just latched onto a fucking excuse to blame their own off-putting non-appealing personalities on I'm so fucking sorry

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

The capital/only permanent human settlement on Tristan de Cunha is named "Edinburgh of the Seven Seas," for your daily delightful trivia fact. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinbur...

I wish he hadn’t been murdered, I wish he got to live a long life and found a way to become a better person. But I will not mourn him more than the countless innocent kids who have been slaughtered by guns that he and his fellow Republicans worship. sincerely yours, Bill Corbett CEO, Antifa Inc

oh my god they released Mecha-Hildegard

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

the human shaped robot people have found me again. their brains are riddled with malicious optimism. 'no the 375 lb roomba will fix me' they say.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

What a delightful read!

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk. The first offers were from Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

If you’re canceling subscription services with giant companies with ties to terrible people, you should think about replacing them with a library card. Many library systems give you access to physical media (some of which you can’t find on streaming!) as well as other great stuff.

Massive consolidation of entertainment conglomerates has an unexpected downside for them: when one of their subsidiaries capitulates to fascism, it threatens their entire portfolio. ABC, Disney, Star Wars, theme parks, cruises, Hulu, Marvel, Pixar, ESPN, etc. are all now fair boycott targets.

DAD: Michael are you losing weight? ME: yeah…. But I’m 205 lbs, I’m hardly wasting away DAD: yes, I know, but you’re not so bulgy as you used to be [poking my arms and shoulders] Anyway, I’ve been murdered, please send donations in lieu of flowers

Watching prominent commenters followed by dozens of people I know say "it's over" because Jimmy Kimmel got suspended...like, they actually killed Medgar Evers, in defense of a fascist system that had been in place for decades. Imagine social media that day! Read history and have some self-respect.

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.
