I've had that dream

Accidentally wrote "frog of war" when I meant to say "fog of war" and I think I just came up with a really cool game idea.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

I think I need to pay more attention to state politics because I've been living in California since 2012 and I just never noticed this

For posterity.

Heh. 3 days ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTd6... 3 weeks ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hx1... 3 months ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHHS... Didn't plan it like that. It's funny to see on my page.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.

Right now the only high profile cases Patel's FBI has "solved" are ones where the suspect turned themselves in. Makes it a bit awkward when they don't do that.

Bush stealing the election and 9/11 happening was the one-two punch that really fucked up this whole century. Trying to come to terms with the fact that my life peaked when I was 10.

Both @mightymur.bsky.social and @diamandahagan.bsky.social deserve credit for turning me on to watch Anna and the Apocalypse (up there in the S tier). At least I'm pretty sure I've heard Mur talk about it before. If I'm wrong, that would be an odd thing for my brain to invent.

“Aides said [Trump] talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that prompted Chief of Staff John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter.” —Miles Taylor, who worked for the first Trump Administration.

Society will never move past the trans panic until we accept that these anti-LGBT extremists are not "genuinely concerned" about anything, rather just a bunch of concern-trolling crybullies. They're exactly like the anti-gay fucks in the 20th Century.

Just remembered Beforeigners! They had the best modern one. Cop teamed up with a Viking Shieldmaiden to solve crimes. It's less silly than it sounds, people from history (stone age/ viking and 19th century) are turning up in the present for.. reasons. Its a metaphor for immigration.

Many others have said this, but it's just so refreshing to have an NYC mayor who absolutely loves everything about the city and all it has to offer its residents.

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

Remember, Valentine’s Day isn’t just for romance. It also commemorates the day indigenous Hawaiians murdered the shit out of Captain James Cook as he attempted to kidnap Chief Kalani’opu’u so he could hold him for ransom. A fitting death for a colonizer.

Y'know, this one's just funny. Maher is still trying to defend throwing the last shred of his dying dignity on the floor to kneel on while he blew Trump and it was all for nothing.

If you're fear mongering about fertility rates, this is what you're asking for.

My Dad would have so many jokes for this if he was still alive.

I would KILL for onscreen yaoi between him and Starscream! 👀

This is blackout poetry to me

“They believe that they are rich enough that they don’t have to live in the same world as us.” @naomiaklein.bsky.social and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social break down the real conspiracies behind Epstein and his elite circle in this latest episode of ‘Unshocked’. Watch here: zeteo.com/p/naomi-klei...

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Stripping the EPA’s authority to fight climate change is a dereliction of duty. More profits for fossil fuel executives and wealthy shareholders at the expense of our planet and future. The climate emergency is here. tinyurl.com/mryaaj9v

Time for my annual reminder that Valentines Day is literally a corporate holiday that was created in the 19th century to create a market to sell more cards and lace. Feeling bad for being alone and that celebrating love requires spending money are both features, not bugs.

There are three canonical facts about the Olympics. 1. The IOC is corrupt as fuck. 2. The Summer Olympics in particular always leave the host city in a worse state. 3. The athletes are spending every spare second fucking like rabbits who just binged Heated Rivalry.

I think about this line from Sonic 3 a lot because people obsess over "omg Shadow loves Latinas roflcopter" but you look at what he's saying and this is kinda badass when you sit and think about it we love encouraging agency

There's no end to the irony of the "fans" complaining about canon in newer Star Trek because if you know anything about the series you know that shit was always stitched together with duct tape and prayer. Did you know the Klingon Bird-of-Prey in Star Trek III was originally intended to be Romulan?

Bro what the fuck

His attacks on the midterms are real and dangerous… and aren’t going to work. Running down the case for an optimistic threat assessment @theunpopulist.net :

Roses are red But enough talk of flowers

Why am I never going to shut up about how terrible Gavin Newsom is? Because I don't like this cross-platform inorganic effort to shut people up about how he much he sucks. I'm not letting a bunch of bots tell me what to do. It's pure oppositional defiance. Lol

I want every cis person to read the conversation from this post down. This is the reasonable concern that is robbing trans people of a meaningful life. It's pure prejudice. Recognise it, and pick a side.

Not sure if these are any good. Hopefully its okay for me to post these. If not I'll gladly take down. Any criticism is greatly appreciated if there is something I could do better within the bounds of my style.

So I looked, so you don't have to. 72% of teens have *tried* it. Regular use is lower. Generally it's only about 1/3 of teens mucking with this nonsense. There's no measure for adults provided. Yet another NYT reporter baiting for clicks. www.commonsensemedia.org/sites/defaul...

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

A player "described a culture in which players may feel pressured to push through illness or discomfort out of fear of losing playing time." “I want the coaches to start listening to the players,” the student said. “I want it to feel like a family, not like the military. We’re teenagers.” Amen.

Any politician using the Cass Review to justify anything is dishonest, especially Bridget Phillipson. It is un-peer-reviewed pseudoscience that has been, & will continue to be, discredited by multiple peer-reviewed publications all of which have more credibility than Cass. These are listed here;

not sure why gen z decide to go with "corn" to replace porn when us oldheads already had pr0n right there for you

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

Donnie Darko (2001)

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.
