me telling my grandkids what it was like to have vaccines

I don't think politicians should say "people will die" without explaining what they're doing to stop/minimize that

The reaction Disney fans are having makes think maybe the Harry Potter fans are just bigots who don’t care after all.

TREK BATH IS THE BEST BIKE SHOP IN THE WORLD. Claire recognised my bike on the way in to work and said “that’s not meant to be there” and TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP!! They called me and refused any sort of finders fee. I do not deserve people like this.

The boomers raised me to think that racism was both immoral and stupid and now they're mad at me for believing them

This is because most consoles have what is called a "Usable State Buffer for Command Performance". Gearbox has been advocating for larger buffers for years. If you want learn more you can Google "Randy Pitchford USB CP".

I signed the Harper's letter to show I was brave enough to stand up to the left on free speech. But I've decided that I'm not brave enough to stand up to the right about it.

Incredible.

a good rule of thumb that will save us all a lot of time is that if a post contains the words “democrats need to ____” then we can skip straight to the part where they definitely will not be doing that

My response:

"If standing up against fascism is what cost me my dream job I held for 10 years, I would do it again 100x stronger."

I'm so embarrassed to be alive during all of this

Note to authors: If I read your prose and immediately have the impulse to wipe flecks of your spit from my face, that is not a good thing.

People don't realise but in asian cultures it's actually deeply insulting to be tied up and abused and made to lap water like a dog.

these texts from the shooter are literally unreal

truly one of the most unintentionally funny things i've ever seen someone post online about themself

In an "olive branch" Streeting defended everything he did to strip healthcare from young trans people as right and justified and said absolutely nothing about any way he'd move away from that targeted campaign to eradicate trans people. Come ON @theguardian.com. This is atrocious.

Whenever the right accuses a person or organisation of supporting some progressive cause and the response is “um actually they didn’t” - that is ceding ground to the right. They do this intentionally. You are accepting the framing that progressive causes are bad by refuting only the details.

We have enough open devils now that when someone plays devil's advocate it is more than a little suspicious.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

With all the divisiveness in politics today I thought it would be nice to launch a new website that affirms something we can all agree on: a staggering number of Republicans are pedophiles. pedoconservatives.com

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

Last year: Austin Peay State University learns prof is Nazi who went to Charlottesville rally. Admin drags heels, pays him $56k severance to leave This week: APSU prof posts screenshot of headline - Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths ‘Unfortunately’ Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment- & is immediately fired

Oh! I'm so fucking sorry, bitch! I don't watch Futurama or any of the dogshit that's on television, so I don't know the reference. Instead of scromiting at me for not getting it, how about you consider the fact that not everyone knows the shit you know? The world isn't your hive mind.

Julius Streicher, editor of Der Sturmer, would frequently published columns titled "Jewish Crimes" crimes committed by Jewish people was published. On October 16th, 1946 Streicher was executed by hanging for "crimes against humanity" for what later would be classified as "incitement to genocide."

they literally want to round us up man. can democrats please get a fucking spine and stand the fuck up for us now? we literally cannot counter this ourselves when they want our voices and rights taken away. please do fucking something

Why would his death be a "loss for those who believe engagement can help bridge disagreements" when his life's work had absolutely fuck-all to do with it besides a spurious claim? It's like saying a GE bankruptcy would be a blow to the resurrection community because "they bring good things to life."

Oop.

what we are witnessing is a bunch of people terrified out of their minds that this is the event that topples the house of cards help their ideological enemies add another layer to the house of cards

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

Welp, it’s time to publish this: Bluesky Moderation has affirmatively dropped the ball with respect to allowing the transgender community on this site to protect itself. I have a blocklist, titled “Transphobic”. You can’t see it. Bluesky Community hid it.

FINALLY.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

Keep picturing Patel dropping the casings in terror after reading “if you read this youre gay”

you seem to have zero interest in protecting trans and palestinian people on this website yet go batting for a nazi with rule enforcements on jokes that didn't result in moderation just a few months ago when other famous, widely hated political figures died.

Right winger gets murdered: he was the kindest, gentlest boy who ever lived Right winger ends up being the murderer: he was also the kindest, gentlest boy who ever lived

the one trick mods don’t want you to know

Pivoted so hard they affected the earth's rotation

I’m sorry, but “[he] spent much of his time online and had become increasingly political, according to relatives. ‘I have no idea why he did this’” is such a self-contradictory utterance. It’s right there: he was online and radicalised himself

The delicious end to the affair. 48 hours of the most august and respectable institutions prostrating themselves over a low rent gutter bigot with a middling podcast and as soon as his death didnt fit the narrative Trump says "RIP to that man, check out my new drapes" humiliation after humiliation

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.
