Trump didn’t force the companies who got rid of their DEI policies to do it. They *wanted* to.

hey remember when Sarah Palin of all people got really angry at the R-slur?

As far as on-the-nose metaphors go, you can’t do a lot better than “I endangered the wellbeing of everyone alive so that I could say slurs in public.”

#hankcon #ghoulcy Clancy Brown 🤝 Walton Goggins Straight up bluntly telling people that the relationship his character has with another character is absolutely not a parental one

It's like a fanfic writer saying "lol I suck at summaries," like if you can't even pitch the idea then what are we doing here?

If social media is angering you and making you feel misunderstood and persecuted right now, may I suggest doing what I do when I feel that way and just logging off for a few weeks

for example, after the 2025 election, I logged off entirely for about three weeks because I suspected the post-election discourse would do nothing but drive me floridly insane. I believe that taking breaks like this is crucial to using public social media without completely losing your shit

Specifying that they're being forced to "waste resources" protecting incumbents is INCREDIBLY telling re: how stuck they are in their thinking: a primary that produces a new, exciting, motivating candidate is worth WAY MORE than anything your campaign funds can do for your "check-the-box" incumbent!

This is literally how China's online activism looked like in early 2010s before Xi's massive crackdown.

Truthfully, this is good practice for y'all. People need to get in the mindset that important stuff is gonna disappear. So, what are we gonna do about it? Stand up. There are always clever ways. Find them. And, do your bit.

The establishment Dems are getting pissed off as tho like Chuck Schumer didn't snub Mamdani and all but flat out refused to confirm who he voted for in the mayoral election If the Dems won't vote blue no matter who, why the fuck should we?

I've been dealing with family stuff this weekend and I can only make a guess as to what news specifically this is about

Cool how we are smuggling domestic news in over the border from canada and people having to share it on bulletproof hosting providers to stop the government and media owners taking it down

Good morning, friends! 💚 FYI: we’ll be posting more lightly through the New Year to give ourselves a short break. We’ll still pop in when inspired. We hope you find rest and reconnection this season. Back at full speed in January--ready to keep fighting the good fight. ✊💉✨

We spend ~$900 billion on the Pentagon. "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed." -- Dwight D. Eisenhower. We're never told that we can't afford new wars. Or war crimes.

You claim he's the one without empathy but YOU refuse to extend it to anyone with a mental illness or disability that is begging you to get our names out of your fucking mouth. You are far more like him then you think and that is a problem that should be called out. This kills people. Do better.

Hot take for this site I know, but replacing "having a penis makes you evil and a ticking time bomb of a rapist/abuser" with "having he/him pronouns makes you evil and a ticking time bomb of a rapist/abuser" is not progressive at all, actually!

Exactly what I see when Star Trek Discovery haters (and specifically Michael Burnham haters) say "It's not because she's black. It's bad writing!" And the only example they give is "She cried".

I agree that being bad at art isn't an excuse to use AI. At the same time, I don't think "if bullying makes you stop doing a thing, you shouldn't be doing the thing" is the take. It downplays the severity of bullying on one's mental health. I was bullied as a child for having long nails-

Trying to find a short web comic from like...8 years ago? Ish? I don’t remember who made it. I originally saw it on Tumblr but I can't find my reblog of it. Basic premise is a bunch of trolls or goblins or whatever (spiky green guys) are 1/3

100% like we have to remember there's not actually anything inherently wrong with sex work or just being promiscuous, women should not be held to a "must be this chaste to ride" standard in any world.

Re-doing the post. Does anyone else's Target have large sections of white models pushed up front against the aisles and models of color almost exclusively in the back. The women's clothing section in particular is crazy today

Honestly this video is horrifying *before* you think about how these creators have the gall to spout this nonsense and then claim to have a Ghibli aesthetic. But after you realize that, it’s downright repulsive.

i now feel really fucking bad about buying their book what in the actual fuck is wrong with them. The whole purpose of several Ghibli stories, Princess Mononoke especially, is humanizing the monstrous, TO THE POINT THAT THE MAIN CHARACTER IS A HUMAN RAISED BY MONSTERS. What is wrong with these guys

Got stuck in the canal

he asks her to help. Boom. They have sex and she helps him realize that sex is nice and not a chore like he thought. It may also give him the motivation he needed to confess 👀👀👀

Midnight. Immediately she is like fuck no because she doesn't want him to do it because he thinks he has to. She tells him that once he genuinely wants to try sex, she will be there for him. So, a few years later, when he starts to see the appeal and develops a little crush on a certain voice hero

always try her best to make their first time a very stress free and positive experience. That got me thinking of her and Aizawa 👀👀👀 Aizawa is hearing how everybody is losing their virginity, and they always say its something he needs to do or he should try having sex at least once. So he goes to

I was thinking about a headcannon where Midnight was the person people in UA would go to if they wanted to lose their virginity. Because she is a very sex positive person and would never make them feel bad for the things they like. She would never gossip about them, and most importantly, she would

Good morning Bluesky, please enjoy this 8 bit redition of Ravel's "Bolero" youtu.be/kMGbGGllQoE?...

I love it when I ramble about an idea before bed because then I forget about it, and in the morning, Im greeted with everyone going feral

What maniacs voted Aizawa 😭

oh these are actually priced REALLY reasonably! i've encountered a lot of sustainable options that were just unfortunately outside my budget options, but this one is actually very affordable!

After being a casual viewer of MHA for years, this last season got me by the emotions so hard that I started reading bkdk fanfic this week. I’m deep into Fire Lily and it’s one of the best stories I’ve ever read, period. Not just fanfic

God, “I’m a leftist now but I’m still not one of those cringe woke leftists I still want to say slur” YouTubers are the whiniest baby bitches in the universe

I appreciate that Hobbes has, multiple times recently, issued some useful correctives to social media-driven nonsense. The fact is that these viral stories have made people act less than normal and it's worth taking a step back and consciously checking one's assumptions and first principles.

My entire career, I have been told I needed to study harder, learn more skills, gain more experience, dress nicer, be friendlier, not complain and just accept that a 6'2" white guy named Mike, John or Steve would be hired, paid and promoted more for the same skills, experience, and education.

Reminder that these prices do not reflect the production cost of the meds. It doesnt actually cost $300 to make an inhaler. Doesn't take thousands of dollars to fix a broken bone. Birth is like $1-2k and that's the total bill for the whole thing. They are price gouging bcs they can get away with it.

Don't tease me with these rumors of the Cheeto being airlifted to Walter Reed, BSky, I can only take being edged so much.

I’m not very into the sacredness of sports stuff but if there’s 3 minutes left in a tie game and the main concern is to have people go and gamble more instead of how good the basketball game is you’ve lost the plot

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
