You don't have to be white to uphold white supremacy. You can be a woman & a conduit of patriarchy. You can be gay & still promote homophobia. Several folks have done it before & it will continue. Usha Vance, Kemi Badenoch et al are where they wish to be. Power/proximity to power is a helluva drug.

I know I'm supposed to feel bad. But I don't feel bad. You don't get to throw one group under the bus and then cry foul when someone throws you under the same bus.

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

there's no answer to the question 'what's it gonna take?' but that doesn't stop it from popping into my head every goddamn time I look at the news

Another frustrating thing is that because the media has abdicated its role in actual journalism AND because people are justifiably being secretive for safety, I'm fairly sure the other countries who are (understandably) mad at America have no idea how much subversion is happening here daily.

NETFLIX: Hey! We just added all 7 seasons Rizzoli & Isles. Me: Oh, cool. Love that show. NETFLIX: It's like Bones meets The Departed! Me:

I still miss her.

tHey'Re iN tHe mInoRitY yeah and while conservatives were in the minority they methodically organized the downfall of the republic. Democrats are just feckless and scattered

NO

I'm not saying I have all the answers... But, has anyone actually considered using cannibals?

It takes A LOT of work to be the black sheep of a family that includes someone who straight-up murdered a girl.

True. Schumer is actually a political moron because he's, at best, a greedy puppet of Israel and, at worst, a full-on pro-genocide Zionist. He's a putz. An embarrassment. And a geriatric cunt who has outlived whatever usefulness he may have once had.

Thank you, @bigfinish.bsky.social. I didn't know how much I needed the Daleks reciting "Humpty Dumpty" in my life until this very moment.

I do hope my former anthro professor who wrote the producers of the OG Planet of the Apes to tell them they fucked up by making the gorillas the violent assholes instead of the chimps knows about PRIMATE.

"Knowing is half the ba-" *belch* "Uh..." *stomach gurgles* "Oh...oh, god!"

Ah, the good ol' days...

I. Would. Die. For. Them.

[Chief Wiggum voice] Whew. That’s a relief.

The German in me also enjoys a dash of nutmeg in my mashed potatoes.

Definitely equal parts Calvin & Hobbes and Far Side. Never cared for Bloom County. I preferred the spin-off, Outland.

They're hoping this scares people into never criticizing politicians but in fact it only encourages me to word my insults in whatever way I think will be funniest being read aloud by a semiliterate cop to my doorbell camera. "Um, ma'am? Did you post that 'Gavin Newsom gargles Nazi cum, winky face?'"

I’m going to keep hammering this point: the excesses of ICE we see now are entirely contiguous with our system of policing more broadly, and the reason that almost no politician wants to threaten real consequences for ICE agents is because it opens the door to making the same demands of the cops

You must learn to hate the aristocracy as much as it hates you.

My GRRM embargo is still in effect, but I am curious: Did the first episode of the new GOT show have an ending or did it just stop somewhere during Act 3 to be replaced with a black screen and a voice saying "Fuck you!" and laughing maniacally?

I'm no policy wonk, but I think "Make NYC a walkable city" should probably include some kind of plan for municipal clearing of sidewalks after a snowstorm and not just roads. I have faith in the DSNY.

Imho if God didn't want gay books then why did God make like a million gay writers

Everything can be a tool!

There are still people who don’t know what the problem with substack is. There are also far too many people who think them publishing there doesn’t help substack get away with it more easily

The point here is to believe people when they tell you who they are. Gavin Newsom hangs out with Republicans because he likes hanging out with Republicans. This isn't 4-D chess. He wants to hang out with Ben Shapiro and Steve Bannon. When he says he agrees with them on things, it's because he does.

Do a quick block on ICE on here.

Here's the thing though: the people who need convincing are only motivated by self-interest. You could set up a gas chamber for immigrants down the street from their house and they would walk their dogs past it with a shrug. It's only when they feel their own rights are at stake that they act.

Well, shit. When I lived in Prospect Heights, this was *my* pizza place. And, to this day, it remains my favorite (and I've lived by many great pizza places - and I'm talking real NYC pizza places, with the neon orange oil dripping off the plates and everything).

"YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE SMALL ROLE THIS FUTURE A-LISTER HAD TWENTY YEARS AGO!!!!!" Actually, "journalist"...I WILL believe it because that's how fucking acting works, ya clod.

Fuck Glitch McConnell. There are not enough flights of stairs for him to fall down...

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Minneapolis is headed towards something resembling a general strike, if you were wondering how the campaign to cow working people into quiescence is going

Jesus. At this point, fucko is gonna announce a GOT theme park before he announces the publication of the next fucking book.

Whenever I'm feeling down, I think about the person who posted about how Jinx got to see Cait naked before Vi and, without fail, I feel a little bit better.

Every example of ai being useful begins with "okay imagine you're in a situation, and you are very dumb"

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

Every portrait from the ICE list leak features someone who looks like their pilot light’s been blown out

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

That's Zimmer in the bin.

So, vandalizing the house of the VP leads to an indictment, but helping vandalize the White House leads to a Golden Globe Award. Weird.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.
