a friend coined the term “yasslighting” to mean “when you are stupid wrong but your bad influence friend keeps telling you the opposite out of some bizarre obligation never to question you.” Gambling websites, manosphere toxic masc trainings, many cults, and more are all built to yasslight.

Jacob Misiorowski throwing 104.5 against a Phillies lineup with an average age of 57 seems unfair.

Most of the pundit cottage industry is based around obfuscating a very simple truth out of psychological self-protection, that one of America’s two major parties came to be the Demented Psycho Evil-Ass Rape Party from affirmative choices their voters made of their own free will because they liked it

Acknowledging the stark, ugly truth that the Republicans basically had no good reason to do what they have done for the last 11 years and have lapsed into vast collective psychosis over totally immaterial and utterly depraved delusions is terrifying, and as such most commentators simply do not do it

The Phillies are such a dumb team.

Just about everything that the MAGAverse complained about, accurately or not, regarding Obama, Clinton, and Biden, Trump and his crew have exceeded by a factor of 10 or more.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

nobody involved in this shit should ever be forgiven

also basically any attack on a country will rally a lot of folks who live there to the government’s side on the basis of “we don’t like being attacked” which is only demonstrated by, well, the entirety of military history

Another forever war because people can’t bring themselves to vote for women…

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

I feel this so strongly. Covid was a test of our moral integrity & decency -- *not just elites, but all of us* -- and we failed. I genuinely think one reason Covid has been memory-holed so hard, & so crusted w/ myths & conspiracy theories, is that on some level we know this & are ashamed.

Things Republicans HATE being reminded about: 1. Slavery 2. Native Americans 3. The actual words that Jesus said

Despite wide public support for the Millionaire's Tax, 30k people have signed CON on this legislation getting its first hearing this Friday, outnumbering those in the PRO column four to one. It's really easy to sign PRO - do it now!

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

ICE thinks Minnesotans will eventually give up, it’s like they’re unfamiliar with Vikings fandom

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

He's ruining cities that voted D and disappearing citizens who don't like him. When he said he would "fix it" so Republicans didn't even have to vote anymore, what the fuck did you think he meant? Did you think that was casually tossed out there?

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

American conservatives will look you right in the eye with a straight face and tell you that complete and utter subservience to masked federal police is patriotism, anything else deserves being executed in the street, and tax dollars for healthcare is tyranny.

Vic Uncle has been fantastic overall and was forced on Sirianni. His two OCs he picked are trash and the one he got forced on him was OK and won the Lombardi. Thanks!

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Conservative Man Proudly Frightened Of Everything

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

It is genuinely humiliating as an America to have this sour, cowardly, narcissistic lout represent us and to know that so many Americans applaud conduct like this. Just deeply embarrassing.

Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

"Agree to disagree" is reserved for things like "You don't like my favorite sports team." We can agree to disagree about that. It's not the same for racism, homophobia, & sexism. Not human rights. Not basic common decency. We do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in morality.”

They are vaccine skeptics because they are dumb, selfish people who were eager to believe lies that give them permission to be dumb & selfish, and there is a vast propaganda machine designed to provide those lies. They did it. They are responsible for it. It's on them.

on the one hand I should absolutely put my phone down but on the other hand what if the forces attacking democracy operate on weeping angels logic

They LITERALLY want dead women to have to carry fetuses to term but live babies to die of preventable illnesses. That’s a GOAL of theirs, not a side effect.

Keep the two distinct in your head.

I am a street camera extremist. Put a robot on every single intersection; ticket every single driver who speeds or runs a red light, every single time.

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge
