Actually I think the problem, as you so clearly demonstrated, is that some people are soulless ghouls devoid of humanity and empathy.

Democratic voters: “Please, just oppose Republicans. That’s all we want. Stop the fascism.” Democratic politicians: “What if we make you upload your government ID to read websites?” Worse than worthless.

Kokoomus: ”these are rookie numbers, hallitusohjelmalla saadaan nuori kuolemaan huumeisiin vaikka joka toinen päivä”

Oh, and since I was being general in a lot of this thread, let's be crystal clear: Rowling uses her fortune to harm trans people. It's her passion. It's her legacy. She funds legal actions and anti-trans groups. She hurts them. You can't write that off on your taxes, buddy.

Most of the people reading this do their best not to be shitty. It's honestly the default for the majority of people, believe it or not. So when you know, absolutely *know,* that someone is using your money, your time, and your enthusiasm to hurt the vulnerable, STOP GIVING IT TO THEM.

"But everybody does bad things you can't just track every dollar going to every" NOPE YOU CAN'T. That is true. You cannot actively track every dollar you put out into the world. We've all seen The Good Place, too. But Rowling commits harm *loudly and proudly.* With a corporate structure, no less!

Rowling? Living. Gaiman? Living. Musk? Living. Ellison? Living. Give them money and somebody gets hurt. It's really that fucking simple. "But what if" nope. They take your money and do hideous shit with it. They sow misery and grow fat. This isn't about art.

If I said "Hey, give me a dollar to tell you a joke" and then I took all of the dollars people gave me and paid someone to punt a baby, would you give me more dollars or would you tell everybody I was a fucking sicko that paid people to punt babies? That's Harry Potter now. Simple enough for you?

"But what if I steal Harry Potter--" Great! Steal it quietly. But while promotion and buzz can be freely provided, those are taken into account as marketing now. And it is! Good word of mouth from authentic people can be more influential than millions in advertising. Just stop.

JOHN WAYNE WAS A NAZI!

Barack Obama said he'd be a moderate Republican in Reagan's era. Believe people when they tell you what they are.

the exact same democrats who insist that you support the nazi tattoo guy who worked for blackwater

"But Harry Potter was a big part of my childhood!" Well, so was shitting your pants.

Of all the things that never happened, this one never happened the most.

Every single loser criticizing No Kings looks like this to me

Suomi on taantuva, mitätön maa, joka ei edes yritä tarjota mahdollisuuksia omillekaan kansalaisilleen, saati sitten muille.

This damned post makes me laugh every time I see it.

The most normal "Blue No Matter Who" liberal

Vigeland: We talk about how, oh no, they just hate us for our freedom. No, they hate us because we bomb girls schools.

Ma'am, this is a bluesky.

The correlation between being a Jan 6er and being a pedophile is incredible, it must be like several standard deviations outside what you’d expect just based on chance

*X Files Theme*

Scratch a liberal...

it's important always to blame the victims of hate movements for their own brutalization at the hands of their ultra-rich oppressors

Person who already hates trans people be like:

Even if what you're doing is like 1% tangentially related to stuff Nazis like, if you use the Olivia Hill Rule, they will absolutely self-select themselves out of your fanbase. The Olivia Hill Rule is the gift that keeps on giving.

We all know that's not what they mean. They mean it's about a cis het white man and it doesn't challenge their bigotries. That's all they mean. That's all it's ever meant. It's why they're celebrating Star Trek's cancelation. Pretending it means anything else is playing their game.

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

lmao

Among the silliest micro-strains of Reply Guy is the guy who shows up in the comments of something months or even years old to do his little masturbatory dance and then tries to act like YOU’RE a loser.

No Tim, you fucking clown, employers will not see a “stream of resumes” because they’ll be impossible to pick out from the TSUNAMI of resumes you and your fellow corpos have flooded the job market with. How dare he? How dare Tim portray layoffs as anything other than corporate indulgence?

MeToo didn't go nearly far enough. I think if 20+ years of uncut neoliberal cultural hegemony has taught anyone paying attention a lesson It's:

With the new Harry Potter trailer dropping today, now is a better time than ever to remind everyone that J. K. Rowling's name appears in the Epstein files where she calls Epstein "a very dear friend".

Raul Rivera yelling outside Mamdani presser. Mamdani: “I want that man to be able to afford to keep living in NYC, because the day that I don't hear him yelling at me, it means he got priced out of this place.” “We need to make this a city where it's affordable enough to yell at your politicians.”

And because I've seen the comparison: This is not an H.P. Lovecraft situation of "separate the art from the artist." Lovecraft is a century dead. He's not alive right now, trying to suppress records of his yacht visiting Epstein Island and swearing to make the lives of millions of ppl unlivable.

I aspire to the level of Suburban Brain Excellence required to start a physical fight with Jack Reacher because you perceive him to be in violation of HOA bylaws. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

Food $200 Data $150 Rent $800 CEO Salary $9.6 billion Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this, my game company is dying

The vast majority of research about diversity from the last 30 years shows, unambiguously, that diverse organizations outperform non-diverse ones. DEI policies are not some weird leftwing social engineering project; they are what happens when you follow the data on organizational performance.

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

heard about chuck norris dying. at least he can finally be with his career again

Nerd culture is funny because it fooled an entire generation into thinking that if you liked sci-fi and disliked sports, that somehow made you smart.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Blue Wavers, what if you learned that you could just call Trump a fascist instead of going "Haha, Trump's fat!"?

Do you remember that bit in Ms Marvel where the head off the mosque was all like "hello federal officer so nice to see you we're all cooperating you're welcome anywhere please don't start arresting us" Yeah it's because Muslims in America got used to that drill from the FBI.

I don't know about you but when I encounter a term and am then informed by my peer that it's basically a neonazi dogwhistle being slipped into leftist circles by bad faith interlocutors, I just use a different term instead. It's easy for me

I have seen into the mind of a liberal and I would like to unsee it

nobody ever listens
