I somehow missed that Dan Savage was on Bluesky now. If you missed the memo, consider this your reminder that Dan Savage is a racist transphobe who has allied himself with Jesse Singal (!) and written racist screeds attacking Black people while dismissing the racism of white gays.

The thing about this is that there are some otherwise reasonable people out there who had not yet figured out that Bari Weiss is a tool of the Trump administration and this is, uh, gonna be a pretty big signal

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

there's a commentary about LLMs to be made here, but I'm too tired at the moment to explicate

And if you read a second thing, let it be this about the ProPublica Guild (workers' union) fighting to keep the quality of its journalism high during negotiations, against management's attempts to open the floodgates for AI slop. bsky.app/profile/prop...

There were Democrats voting for this shit, please stop complaining when we complain about Democrats and want them held accountable. This is getting ridiculous, the fucking collaborators.

KOSA has been defeated several times already and they keep trying over and over until the one time it goes through, at which point it becomes everyone's problem. It will be an unmitigated disaster if this passes and they say, well, sorry, now it's the law. Make sure your creature votes No on this.

Tell the New York Times how much you love congestion pricing! As we approach the first anniversary of the program, it’s critical that congestion pricing is rightfully celebrated as a massive success. Fill out the New York Times survey now:

Early on in Fire Emblem (2003) the player gets a paladin named Marcus. Marcus is very strong;vhe can kill pretty much any enemy with one attack. You must never use Marcus. He is a noob trap that soaks up XP your other characters need to be useful in the late game. This is a post about AI.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Katherine Clark, the Democratic minority whip, sent this email criticizing the GOP's "wasteful stunt" to pass a resolution condemning socialism on the day Mamdani met Trump. Only one problem: she voted for it! @whipkclark.bsky.social, you can't talk out of both sides of your mouth like this!

When a governor sexually harasses his subordinates and resigns in disgrace, the state pays his legal fees. But his victims - who are state employees! - have to pay their legal bills out of-pocket.

As I keep mentioning, Eric Adams, the CURRENT MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY, brought an actual neo-Nazi to the mayor’s mansion. And these folks are not hounding him to disavow the guy!

When did Jesus get a tribal tattoo?

I also think the desire to “solve” a show robs it of the ability to evolve in meaning as the culture around it evolves. The best art can be interpreted in many ways as we ourselves shift!

The basic premise of the Second Amendment has proven itself to be a sham. The government already *has* crossed the Rubicon into full-throated tyranny and open authoritarianism, and the 2A gun zealots didn't form a militia to fight it - they cheered it on.

2025 is the year of Linux on the Desktop

"But what if I have to gun it in an emergency?" is one of those knee-jerk responses which evaporates when you consider the number of times you've had to do that on a residential street, vs the number of times you've had to slam on the brakes.

I have no idea why I'm getting this email, but if you live in Maryland or consider yourself a Democrat, you should be embarrassed that the governor is trying to fundraise by simping for Trump in this disgusting way

People have retconned the history of REAL ID to be about proving citizenship, but it was never about that. It was always about surveillance, under the name of counterterrorism. REAL ID does not (necessarily) prove citizenship, contrary to popular misconception.

the duality of faggots

Democrats demonstrating a staggering inability to read the room in 2025 by *checks notes* promising to give Trump unlimited power to censor the Internet

Not all forms of revenge are created equal. Revenge porn? Bad. Revenge killing? Bad Revenge “revealing misconduct”? Good.

The HG position is that Matt Dillon has aged shockingly well and that's great for him

this is not a party that excels at long-term thinking

Gillibrand and Schumer stay losing 🚮🚮🚮

extremely funny that Matt Dillon (61) is OLDER than Mark Ruffalo (58) in this photo

Democrats abandoned the shutdown, giving up all their leverage on ACA subsidies in exchange for a promise to hold a vote in a month, and then the GOP blocked that extension. Who could have predicted this???

Today, members of the House will vote on a dangerous bill that will expand government censorship under the guise of protecting youth online. Tell your representative to protect the First Amendment and vote NO.

I will die on this hill: the public transit queers are the best of us.

Congress is trying to force through mass surveillance/censorship laws THIS WEEK BOOST THIS EVERYWHERE before it’s too late. 👇 www.badinternetbills.com Call and tell your rep: —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO online digital ID laws —NO age verification laws

Fetterman is going to pull an Arlen Specter, but in reverse lol

The Wall Street Journal says this investigation led Instacart’s stock price to fall.

❤️❤️❤️ our community. Operative word our.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: @warren.senate.gov is not an ally of LGBTQ+ people. She has repeatedly chosen to push anti-queer legislation even when educated on why it is so harmful. At some point, when someone tells you who they are, listen. And she's telling us loudly & clearly.

It's not really writing if the writer doesn't have a mini existential crisis at some point during the process

super cool that the Democrats shut down the government to "protect ACA subsidies", then threw away all their leverage in exchange for a pinky promise to have a vote on subsidies a month later, which is now being used as an excuse for the GOP to slip in anti-trans clauses and dare Dems to agree

Colin Allred is dropping out of the TX Senate race and running instead for TX-33, which is a sign that Jasmine Crockett is probably going to run for Senate instead. Get it, girl! @crockett.house.gov www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/c...

Forgot to post here! Asked Mamdani for comment on the anti-ICE mobilization that sabotaged a major ICE raid last wkd. Mamdani described the action as people exercising their free speech, that he looks forward to protecting that right. He has not previously commented on the community defense.

The exact people now saying "Nigel Farage was young and foolish at school" (to excuse his racism, bullying and harassment of fellow pupils at Dulwich College) are the same people who said "Shamima Begum was old enough to know what she was doing".

This man did a photo opp of himself destroying homeless people's last possessions.

ask me how I know! 🫠
