ok so whats a good mastodon place? I havn't used it in forever and jorts horse seems empty

Jay I’m finding myself wondering aloud if you’d be this ungracious and flippant if the victims of Jesse Singal were not trans people but another marginalized group. Not only are you on the wrong side of this but you’re embarrassing yourself and your company at the same time.

Can you imagine how rancid their likes are

This is happening to Social Security too. My mom just got an identical email from her SS person.

There's something about that place that's just a bit off.

this is the CEO of the website in response to a trans person asking to ban a notable transphobe and pedophile apologist

This is a huge part of what is driving people insane. Everyone can see what Israel is doing, but our media and political elites keep insisting we shouldn't trust our lying eyes.

This has been the strategy since I first became a voter decades ago, and it has demonstrably made the party and the country worse.

America is so large if you dont follow the news and haven't felt any direct repercussions you'd have no idea anything was happening. Just going out to buy a decorative gourd, they're sending US troops into cities, the president is a pedophile, oh hey this town has an apple festival this weekend

Has anyone done any reporting on the human employees at NYT responsible for these changes? Get them on record to explain these headline changes! cc: @marisakabas.bsky.social

Do care did ask + ily

what's the equivalent of this Hegseth pep rally in the People's Republic of China you may ask? probably like, a million soldiers build 16 hydroelectric dams in two months and provide clean reliable power to 100 million citizens

You’re automatically registered to vote at 16, they have 70%+ turnout, their elections are required to have at least 2 candidates so there will be a choice, their elections are on Sunday to ensure work doesn’t interfere as much as possible, they require 50% of the vote but do a runoff a week later

The US president is a billionaire pedophile who got to be a candidate because he got financial support from other such billionaire pedophiles to defend their common interest

Funny thing about the blue maga genocidal democrats is that they know what the people want. They've got the resources to know what actual people on the streets want. But to choose the people, is to abandon their donors, and the blue maga dems ain't abandoning their donors. Not now, not ever!

A Mamdani type candidate would win the next US election in a landslide, but the Democrats will work harder to prevent that than the Republicans. That's the sad truth.

if they cave on this i won't vote for a democrat for dogcatcher and i'll do everything in my power to make sure everyone i know doesn't either

I think a lot about what a joy children are- just delightful humans that want so much to be loved and give love- and the idea that governments aren’t made just for making sure that we do the best by all of them makes me sad.

once again, if you straightforwardly explain how LBOs work to any normal person, they think you must by lying

this will be the sixth time we have cancelled Swery and we have become exceedingly efficent at it

ok so ethically should I log a movie on letterboxd if I didn't see it but my wife gave me a heavily detailed recap of it after she saw it can I check off a movie by proxy

The Anime World Order podcast Fall 2025 trailer watch along has begun! We thought anime was over but there's even more coming out this season. We've got 68 things lined up which is one short of the magical nice number, so stop on by! Looks like our stage capacity is good discord.gg/RxvasXSM?eve...

Really weird vibes from season two of English Teacher. Every other episode takes a maga style misinterpretation or perspective

Saw an ad for what I can only describe as dark millennial energy each word more cringe inducing than the last I will be attending 😤

the fun thing about cycling is that if you Follow The Law™ when you are forced to ride with cars, it will probably get you killed by some inattentive driver, but if you ride in a way that is safe for you, you get branded as reckless by news org hit pieces and threatened by aggressive drivers instead

I can think of exactly One time that being able to see a character's pores in a video game mattered, and that was when you could tell Cloud Strife was wearing foundation when he put on a dress

every damn time

My enemies are plotting against me and have worked together to make me very sleepy this afternoon.

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

Engraving two bullets with "this bullet only lies" and "this bullet only tells the truth" to really stump the FBI

The best thing you can do when worldbuilding is include a real life place in your medieval fantasy world to really mess with the people who like to make wikis "Yeah next to the Kingdom of Gormal is New Hampshire"

i think a lot of the whole gen z hates sex scenes thing can largely be boiled down to "generation that lives with parents doesn't want their parents to walk in at the wrong time"

yeah that's right its me the guy who chimed in and killed the tempo of the group chat, you're welcome btw

In my life I've seen treatments for AIDs developed, vaccines for Ebola and malaria, and now this. Medical science is one is the areas that still consistently seems to make these miraculous advances and I'm genuinely grateful to everyone involved. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Right wing ghouls really don't know how to appreciate what they have. All the money and power in the world and they still care about what somebody on tv says.

No you don't understand that nut saved my life, that's my hero macadamia

half-remembering that thing about how most Roman citizens experienced the fall of Rome as simply one day their local bridge went out and nobody came around to repair it

Not to worry, Joe Biden already did the Trump administration's work for them by designating animals rights activists, environmentalists, abortion rights organizations, anticapitalists, and anarchists as "domestic violent extremists" back in 2021.

Just a reminder that in addition to canceling Disney, you should also cancel Paramount. Hiring racist transphobe Bari Weiss as head of CBS News and actively denying that Israel is committing genocide are both really harmful.

when I figure out a new fact about a hyperfixation

The @dropout.tv lineup this week is relevant to our interests.

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.
