i hope media executives are taking note of the tens of thousands of people who for several hours on a friday night have stayed glued to livestreams of scaffolding being built just so they could witness his name getting knocked off a building

“Palantir tracks everyone. So we built a site that tracks Palantir. They've been watching us. Now we can watch them. Contracts. Lawsuits. Executive pay. Global footprint. Lobbying activity. Media strategies. All in one place.”

My takeaway on this is that a whole lot of people pretty much just repeat whatever they hear, and they don't always listen very closely. At least 19% think the party is in the right place (or too far right) but also simultaneously think the party should move away from where they think it should be.

I think I'm gonna go back to largely only interacting socially within subcultures (outside of family and friends). Normies can come talk when they catch up to the social circle I was in 15 years ago who all understood that sex, gender, presentation, junk, and pronouns are all independent variables.

Happy Pride Month everyone! These are tough times but always remember, you are strong and you are loved!

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

strange how focusing her career almost entirely on trans people and "protecting bathrooms" didn't help her in her own *GOP primary*. it's as if transphobia doesn't actually help win elections... 🤔

im the only person who wears clothes on the egg carrier. whos' fucking laundry is in my washing machine. im caling the cops

(Not directed at my followers, but at the weirdos who occasionally dig through my TL) I don't care how self-evident you think it is. I don't care if you feel like you shouldn't need to convince people. I don't care that [x] should be enough. You have to do sales pitches in order to WIN elections.

like it's a whole appeal to nature, it's basically assuming intersex kids don't exist (or if they do, they can be Fixed Easily in a way that doesn't violate anyone's bodily autonomy), that medication is always worse than no medication.

everyone is transitioning, everyone is becoming something else. It comes free with being a living being. The only difference is into what. And everyone should get to decide FOR THEMSELVES which way they're changing.

Again: They've had decades, unlimited funds and access to all the power in the world and this is genuinely all they've got They don't have a definition of sex, they can't tell you how it would work, they don't care who they'll hurt, they don't know ANYTHING

booing is table stakes. I'm hoping we get some new obscenities out of this. something nobody has ever heard before. something that would make George Carlin say "ok, maybe *that* one should be off limits"

If you’re still talking about the “Kamala is for they/them” ad like an automatic electoral killshot even though Winsome Earle-Sears ran the same damn ad and was reduced to a smoking crater I’m gonna make some assumptions about why you’re so eager to triangulate on the issue

The fatal flaw of every variety of Christian nationalism is that they just assume that the nationalism will be based on their brand of Christian. And we've seen throughout history how much worse Christian sectarian infighting tends to get than Christian vs secular ever does.

Lmao same guy who said this also said we should move to the center...as he argues for Platner and against Osborn, lmfao

Funny seeing the same people insisting that we should support Platner because "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" and "don't do purity tests" then turn around and make excuses to refuse to back Osborn. Who is objectively better than Platner, and running against a worse Republican.

can I get a Hell Yeah in the chat

and so once again the Democrats don't get any pressure to change. all the pressure leftists want to put on Democrats is fought tooth and nail to a bloody stand still. They never have to change, just keep saying the GOP is worse. then when they fuck up, liberals just start attacking the left for it.

for months me and every leftist I know have been talking about how bad this guy is, and insulted by these same misogynists, who are definitely not on the left. now it's our fault again. we got to get better about this. there is more than two things.

every leftist I've ever talked to fucking hates this guy and vocally opposes him at every turn, only to get screamed at by centrists and weird libs who have no problem with nazi tattoos, do not blame this absolute laminated cheese platter on us

leftist: "there's a deep misogyny problem that needs to be addressed in the Democrat party" liberal: "shut up queer boy you just want trump to win." liberal politician: "fuck women" liberal: "this is that leftist's fault"

Remember when calling a reporter stupid merited a headline and an apology?

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

As Archbishop Tutu said about apartheid with regards to the Truth and Reconciliation hearings: "Those who claimed they did not know cannot very well say so now. They know.” Except we have internet. We have social media. People know now. We know. We cannot claim otherwise.

I don't understand how a lot of people don't see that all the excuses for Platner are literally the same thing as the "Well that's just locker room talk" response about "grab 'em by the pussy" It's exactly the same mindset, the same excuses for the same reason on the same basis.

I've never had a problem with HR. I've never had any reason to dislike them or for them to dislike me. What did Jilani do?

a willingness to vote for morally bankrupt white men is not a shift in voting patterns, it is the norm, you fucking cretins

I do hope Mainers vote for Platner over Collins. Yes, he sucks but she sucks so much worse. But I can’t NOT make fun of a dude-bro misogynist with a Nazi tattoo and racist Reddit posts. Clenching my sphincter and fluffing him with, “The moneyed oligarchs want to take him down” is not my way. Sorry.

Back when I was a kid in 1994, one of my parents taught me is that a very important rule of internet safety is that as far as submitting data to websites is concerned, they, I, and everyone else, was born on July 4 1976 in New York City.

We quite literally have a whites only refugee program and somehow the media won’t call the Administration white supremacists.

It's wild getting the "harm reduction isn't good enough" excuse for not backing Osborn from the people arguing that less bad than Collins is all you need to know to support Platner. Turns out they have a purity test and it is "must say slurs on reddit"

Good morning. Please, don't drop a fandom, a game you love, your stories or characters only because there are bad people here. Don't let them steal your joy! Keep creating, keep making community and be better. If you need to rest, do it on your own terms, but most people here are wonderful!

The thing I'm noticing most about the Platner defenders is how frequently they have as close to zero information as it is possible to have and still know the name of the guy and his opponent. They don't know when the primary is, who is running in it, what his tattoo looks like, or anything.

It just occurred to me... How many of Platner's tattoos did he get after the totenkopf? Because he would have had to either: a) know to keep it hidden in the shop b) assure the artist he's intending to get it covered or c) get the new tattoos at a nazi shop

Conservatives are upset at their imaginations again

seems to me if you found out a guy you'd been publicly defending was using you to give his lie an air of legitimacy, you'd feel pretty betrayed. unless,
