Honestly, the cloying desperation to find a perfect definition that will exclude trans women from legible, legitimate womanhood has in and of itself demonstrated (almost as well as any materialist feminist can) that sex is social, mutable, and a regime of violent policing.

James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell

this is a masterpiece

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

The clean energy trade associations have paid millions to DC consultants to be told that, rather than fighting for the people who have advanced their interests for decades, it is time to supplicate & beg for scraps from Republicans. I'm sure it will work out about as well as it always does.

‘can i afford the tax? yes. is it going to deter me? no.’ cool well no further questions, thanks for answering the only relevant ones

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

what makes the SCOTUS Gang of Six acting as an unaccountable super-legislature especially intolerable is that they are not just setting up unfavorable rules, they are playing Calvinball where they selectively apply the rules case-by-case exclusively to help Republicans. A judicial dictatorship

someone make an ad of grandma working in a coal mine

This is actually the perfect distillation of the right wing worldview. A predatory industry treats consumers unfairly so it must be immigrants' fault.

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

When you ask someone to actually define what they mean when they say "we need baseload power"

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

You can’t call insurance CEO’s “murderers”, okay? They don’t murder people. Instead they merely prop up and administer a complex rube Goldberg structure that grinds living human beings into a fine slurry. They do this for financial profit. That’s not murder. That’s not murder.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

I am honestly kind of "whatever" in terms of the amount of solar energy this would generate — it's way more expensive than just putting panels on the ground in an open field — but we should do it precisely because it would make surface parking lots more expensive to build

Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.

Wishing a happy Brian’s Hat Day to all who celebrate.

Why'd the Confederates fight? They told us

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

Each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days.

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum under the Trump administration has deleted its teaching materials about links between Nazi racism and the Jim Crow laws: www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Ben Gvir is literally giving tours of Palestinian execution chambers and you are worried about a YouTuber who hasn’t done anything - be so serious!! Jake Tapper and Dana Bash are constantly saying the most hateful shit about Arabs in a way that actually contributes to Islamophobia

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

They started an illegal war of choice during an ideological, racist and sexist purge led by right wing podcasters calling targets on a sieg heiling billionaire’s website, believing their superior genes and brutality would lead to rapid victory and are now facing defeat bsky.app/profile/dunc...

if you watch and support the new harry potter show you are funding trans genocide globally by the way

many other data points to consider here but in the interest of Discourse i will note that 10 minutes after Very Special Episodes went away, a hundred and fifty million americans suddenly decided that believing in things is for suckers

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

I know there's a lot going on But what the US is doing to Cuba is unconscionable

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

Hey, librarian here. If you find out a favorite author is a monster, don't separate the art from the author just give it the fuck up and stop supporting the monster.

There is a correlation between these two graphs.

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

logging onto bluesky to put my finger on the scale and beg you all to vote for Preston Sturges. one of my favorite directors. also fellas can I come back for one of these if he make it

Wind turbines are great because they create renewable energy, look gracefuland sleek, and when the uprising comes we can tie the billionaires and CEOs to the fins and watch them go round and round and round all day long.

it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish

All of those countries that have Bern taking medical assistance from Cuba should be falling over themselves to break the blockade.

I hope Sinners inspires other filmmakers to include scenes of their leads abruptly gunning down racists after the plot has logically ended.

Can't believe this is a controversial take on this website but I thought OBAA and Sinners were both great and I think they'll both go down as classics

The best part of Oscars season being over is that I don't have to see film opinions from people who watch maybe two movies a year for at least another ten months.

Stop talking about cutting taxes for the middle class. The middle class pays an appropriate amount in taxes. Cutting middle class taxes is nothing more than tossing us a bone to avoid dealing with the real issue: the wealthy paying inappropriately low taxes. Tax the rich and stop pandering.

Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes

not the onion

I've got just the team to do it
