As sad and pathetic as this is, also too predictable.

Everything this anti-trans lesbian says in the article has been almost exactly the same arguments used against gay and lesbian people…just no self-awareness whatsoever

What the absolute f…

The “force read before comment” option would literally extend my life by 10 years.

Fondly recalling a flaming bit of homophobia from the NYT in the mid 80s that those with HIV/AIDS should be rounded up into camps.

Sorry, but as soon as I saw Davy Crockett the soda shop scene from Back to the Future came to mind

I will never understand, and I think I will find it very difficult to forgive, any individual who helped raise this man to power and lower the United States into the gutter. I'm honored only that he hates my state and my neighbors with special fervor. We welcome his hatred, it does us credit.

Everything is so incredibly stupid.

Right? They have so many people on their side, supporting their “true” and “effective” activism, that they can surely afford to minimize the protests. Absolutely. You betcha.

I know that when a fascist is trying to take over the country, the first thing I’ll do is piss on people appearing at a no kings rally and saying they aren’t being “effective“. That’ll surely be my winning message.

I still quote him to friends at work, “You’re a slacker, McFly!” RIP Mr. Strickland

tfw you realize Idiocracy (2006) is actually better than the world we face now because their president still had moral character

Buria whining to the Times that the story was “made up” to “sow division”…gee, if only they hadn’t squandered their credibility being lying assholes…

Somewhere in the North Korean Propaganda Ministry an official winces and says: “That’s a bit much.”

So many times throughout history, the response to real world problems has often been out of Something Needs To Be Done rather than a careful comprehensive solution. It’s very human to demand immediate, quick fixes to large and complex problems.

The new MAGA Bible: worshipping golden calves pleases the Lord now. Because trans people existing is a far more grave threat. Or something.

Lee himself didn’t want any monuments to the Confederacy. At all.

Another classic case of “they’re making the kids trans” based on their own faulty understanding and fear

Never remember, always forget, troop the supports, or something like that

A terrifying fact of reality is that abusers are usually people close to the kids or within close circles. But people would rather scapegoat trans people, gay people, POC. Just easier that way.

Reminder: that quote “may you live in interesting times“ was actually a curse

Of all the things that have tracked…

I’ve never been an angry person, I hate being angry. It’s such a miserable feeling. I can’t imagine being in such a steady state of rage like this.

I remember my Baptist church having a lock-in for Y2K, in which we actually awaited the coming of Jesus. Needless to say he ghosted.

This is going to be an ongoing thing, isn’t it? We get sick of some new forever war, some politician promises to never get us involved, and it happens again.

Reagan or Bush openly chastising Cyberdyne for *not* making Skynet kill people

Cable may be going the way of parachute pants and Walkmans but it still has a sizable share of the public market. A lot of people that can be easily swayed.

When the burning desire to own the libs overrides all logic

The government is engaging in an ethnic cleansing and Gavvy here thinks it’s the Dems who have a problem.

One sad part about this being that to many outside observers, this all could totally appear to be on the up and up. Just something the FBI Director would do on a special occasion (it is not)

What ICE/BP is doing to Minneapolis is awful. And it's taking everything they have. By population, Minneapolis is America's 45th largest city. Keep both in mind at once: the regime's desire for authoritarian domination is bottomless, and they'll act on it, but their capacity to do so is limited.

This is why I’m hesitant to look anything up anymore…I’d ask if things could get any worse but I’m afraid to tempt fate.

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

Reminder that, among her various malicious lies, McLaughlin portrayed Abrego Garcia as literally “Osama bin Laden“, one of the literal architects of 9/11. Garcia’s alleged atrocities amounted to driving some people around.

Ok, but, hear me out…Chinese-made UV watermark bamboo ballots.

Honestly, if this is who is supposed to represent “our” culture…I’ll pass.

This is the closest any conservative will get to acknowledging the very real food deserts. They know carrying fresh, healthy food can be almost prohibitively expensive for the small stores, and it’s a way to shift blame for cutting off food resources for SNAP recipients to “convenience stores”

Once you conclude that "[the opposition] in office is worse than anything [we] could ever do in office", you have just rationalized the end of constitutional government and all manner of authoritarian atrocities.

“I didn’t really listen to them, but shitposting about the woke gets me the right attention”

Lawfare: you can file a suit for anything, you just usually can't *win* -- but for moneyed people, winning isn't the point. The point is forcing people to spend $$$$$ on defense, so they shut up in the future bsky.app/profile/elle...

I’m sure her readers will be happy to know she doesn’t care as much about quality as quantity.

I feel vindicated for taking days to finish my scale drawing of Garfield in a backwards cap and baggie pants when I was in junior high in the late 90s

Epstein, Trump, Clinton didn’t commit their crimes in a vacuum, exhibit 11,000,000,000,007
