It’s really telling how back in 2016, JonTron was pro-gamergate and also promoted white genocide conspiracy theories alongside people like Sargon and Richard Spencer and somehow he hardly faced any real consequences for his actions.

Alexander Rhodes, founder of NoFap, the much-maligned anti-masturbation group, has filed suit against researchers he claims are part of a vast conspiracy to defame him, along with Aylo, owner of Pornhub, and 150-year-old peer-reviewed scientific journal Taylor & Francis.

people should try blocking more often on here tbh it's fun, free and makes things so much more chill than arguing with the internet's weirdest people

Oh shit they finally came up with a socially beneficial use case

"allyship" context: in a thread reporting the trump régime's executive order to remove all federal sa/rape protections from *trans and intersex* prisoners, this "ally" decided her first contribution would be along the lines of "women are next" when called on it she then wrote this vileness

Fuck you of you think trans rights should be sacrificed "for the good of democracy". The anti democracy machine is the anti-trans machine. Get that through your skulls.

my favorite Hallmark movies are the ones where the premise is deranged from start to finish and you can tell the actors are doing their doggone best to ignore that and power their way through

@franifio.bsky.social is breaking up with capitalism. "After years of promising to change, swearing that you’re working on it, your behavior has only gotten worse. You are toxic." prospect.org/2025/12/05/b...

I really need more people who are active on social media to understand this general principle on an intrinsic, bone-deep level - most people are far less informed than you. It comes up in many, many forms. And it’s too widespread to assign blame to those individuals for it.

It’s not over until it’s over. Even if & when there’s nothing left of hope but smoldering ashes, you can still try to sweep them up neatly and start building again.

The other day, I heard someone use the phrase "the fatalism celebration" and that really captured the "the world is fucked, so fuck the world" spirit of some doomers.

White pessimists are interesting to me. No, I will not elaborate.

Anna May Wong — Edward S. Curtis, c. 1925

I've said this before, but there are two kinds of people in the world. - People who have suffered or been traumatized by something, and think it's unfair unless everyone else also suffers - People who have suffered or been traumatized by something and don't want anyone else to experience that.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

"cHaIrmAn MaO" shut up, I hate this fucking dork

What kind of brain worms do you have to compare a tweet about “allowing” private industry to build small cars with Chairman Mao? What connection do they even think they’re making? It’s not just conservatives getting dumber by the day.

They should at least ban increasing the ride height of your domestic tank if you want to run it on public roads. No one needs Grave Digger to pick up their kids from school

Any time these are suggested, there are a ton of comments about how AMERICANS love FREEDOM and FREEDOM requires an F-150.

"Communities are trying to fight back. Rapid responder groups have followed ICE by foot, bike and car, sounding danger with whistles, shouting and honking horns. Parent and community groups are working ... to protect students and families as they travel to school."

“Look, you have be complicit in death if you wanna grow the economy.” Maybe the perfect encapsulation of the immorality of capital. This sucks.

wanna see the opposite of a swastika?

I have no patience for people who try and claim that trans advocacy issues are somehow a distraction right now, because it is extremely obvious that transphobia is one of the main tentpoles for the modern international fascist movement, and possibly their most cherished sacrament.

A timely reminder… Fascists love war and conflict of any kind, they positively thrive amongst hate, insecurity, mistrust and animosity!!

That they treat it as an aberration instead of a natural outgrowth of "American spirit" and our utter failure to reconcile with our past makes it impossible for any redemption to even have a chance to begin

Permanently exhausted by "he's insane/mentally ill" as an explanation for someone taking the American international project to its logical, & frankly most honest, conclusion.

powerful men showing off their power by inflicting violence without consequences is the most neurotypical thing ever invented by society

I really don’t like how people are diagnosing these fascists with personality disorders instead of acknowledging that this is the type of personality that psychology never bothered to pathologize because it neatly fits into our society and upholds the status quo

Honest to god, vtubers need to evolve past being “apolitical and uneducated”, because one day, politics will come for you. There is no more being “apolitical” in this day and age.

This is NOT how you respond to this kind of shit. You don't get pissed off and aggravated you have people concerned you're doing Nazi shit. You stop and reevaluate your fucking life that so many people think this, and that so many Nazis like your shit. If you don't do that well...you're a Nazi.

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

IRW — a Pulitzer-winning nonprofit newsroom at American — and @thebarbedwire.com traced the history of anti-trans legislation. Houston conservatives realized homophobia didn’t fly anymore, weaponized girls’ safety, and parroted segregationist language. It worked. thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/04/a...

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

You are not “less than” because you’re disabled. You do not deserve to suffer, go hungry, be homeless or be denied healthcare. You shouldn’t have to “prove” your worth to others. Your disability is not a moral failing, and you do not need to justify it to anyone.

Hey so all fashion is political. One of the reasons I put a Trans Rights patch on my vest is because I went to a counter protest of a far right rally and spotted a guy dressed exactly like me. The last thing I want is for someone like that to think they're welcome in my spaces based on my outfit.

i've made the appointment to get the girl juice

Based. Also thanks for quote-posting another shitty person to add to my block list. Always need to weed out more from potentially showing up in my feed.
