Happy September 21st to those who celebrate

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Huh an awful lot of rhetoric shifted from Old Testament to New Testament over the past few hours

This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

here is the truth the mainstream media doesn't want you to see The whitewashing of Charlie Kirk’s toxic legacy is underway www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.

This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Trump DOJ is now looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns. Worth noting that the Nazis did the exact same thing to the Jews. Also worth noting they have no plans to ban right wing white supremacists from owning guns, even though they commit a vast majority of all mass shootings.

You could spend the rest of your life with a hundred screens set up, each one cycling through the entirety of Pornhub's catalog and you will still not see this level of cock sucking and ass licking. What an absolute bunch of gelatinous, pathetic losers.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Here, fixed it.

Everyone should buy Helvetica's art. I have quite a few pieces hanging in my house! www.inprnt.com/gallery/helv...

You're probably going to have to be slightly more specific than this.

Stop offloading cognitive tasks to "generative AI." Stop using systems w/ "AI" features either inextricably woven through them or prominently displayed at the top to nudge you into their use. Stop *Designing* "AI" tools & integrations that way. Stop building or using "AI" like this. Fucking Stop it.

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

Once again, to all of my Canadian followers, this is INCREDIBLY ILLEGAL here. No private company can discriminate against LGBT content in any way. It is enshrined in federal law. Call and ask stripe why they're breaking Canadian hate crime laws. Call your local NDP or Liberal party rep and ask them.

Little Rock, the capital city of Tom Cotton's home state of Arkansas, has one of the highest violent crime rates of any city in the United States. D.C. doesn't even crack the top-10.

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

Interestingly, pricey prospectives treatment would be less necessary in a world where there were inoculations - if only there were vaccines for, say, measles, mumps and rubella

"Bluesky is dying" Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

I feel like I owe this sim city a guy an apology for using him as a joke format for the last decade. I was not expecting to eventually live in the special brand of hell in current year where All The Funding Is Cut and it is very bad actually

Hello, friends. I have a new EP out today. It’s weird and heavy and avant-garde and instrumental. I had a lot of fun making it and I hope you enjoy. LINKS IN THE THREAD #music #metal #artmetal #instrumental

Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.

This administration and its supporters have no values, no morals, no principles other than adherence to Trump and seething hatred for anything not-Trump. A despicable pedophilic predator is a hero if not-Trump opposed them. They are less than human.
