Ok I've designed an LLM prompt to make Google AI just give you a list of links. It's longer than you might think because it kept ignoring the instructions. This is efficient. This is The Future™

CALL YOUR REPS NOW! SPREAD THE WORD! HR 2616 was snuck onto the calendar for a vote TOMORROW. This is a pro book banning bill which seeks to ban ALL books by or about trans individuals.

thomas massie is a reactionary freak who for whatever reason drew a single bright line for himself: Pedophilia. and for this you pay the price in trump world because Pedophilia is Good

At long last, James Cameron has another opportunity to try and get Ed Harris killed

We need to end the nobody is talking about this complex. Someone just said the way Toni Morrison writes is so beautiful it should be studied. UM. IT IS!!! A lot. You have not discovered one our times' most lauded & regarded writers. There's kinda scholarship on her. She's not obscure & underground.

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

At a certain point we need to ask if maybe voters are the problem

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”

it took this country five decades for the surviving interned Japanese-Americans who were deprived of absolutely everything and imprisoned for no cause to get $20,000 in reparations per person. we are currently awarding the guys who did the Beer Hall Putsch five years ago orders of magnitude more

The woman who gave birth in court was arrested for *being on the roof of the building where she lived* without permission. Jesus Christ.

Again, I just keep going back to that article about how violence is not the answer and how Americans need to learn to live with one another and, well, I just don't know how to break it to you that unless there is actual punishment for this shit, the former two things mentioned are not possible.

Murdoch's pet antisemites are working with fascists to compile and distribute lists of Jews tonight:

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

Dems are polling crazy high based on the flaming catastrophe that is Republican fascist rule, so primarying as many of the bad weak complicit Democrats in favor of good determined angry ones has rarely if ever been more crucial

For the record, this proposal specifically targets gender identity. You have until May 22nd to submit a comment

Snail teeth are very tiny and arranged on a ribbon-like tongue called radula. They can thousands or even tens of thousands of them! Their jaw cuts bigger food up and then they scrape it against this murderous-looking wheel of sharp bits to eat. And snails do eat just about anything they feel like.

The two types of anime fan are “As a rightist, I adore Gayqueer McTransmarx, a character I believe embodies conservative values,“ and “As a leftist, I’m a big fan of Hitlerhito Tokyonazi’s ’Manchuria Deserved It’ franchise.”

today on the streetcar the man sitting across from me ended what seemed like an important business call with “well, as snoopy would say: gawrsh!” then he frowned, looked at me, mouthed “goofy?”, I nodded, then he said “I’m just being goofy!” and hung up, and gave me a thumbs up

idk if anyone even remembers this these days but the internet used to clown on "nice guys" not cuz it was cringe to be nice but because self-described "nice guys" were actually weird and mean

I wouldnt say My Adventures with Superman is a hate watch for me but the various emotions it inspires in me aren't 100% positive

looks like as part of the mod meltdown, @skywatch.blue has started adding tons of trans people and trans allies who were laughing at the streisand effect happening in real time to their "trolls" list, rendering it pretty useless imo

Incredibly funny result, losing by submission in 17 seconds is sort of like running directly into the first goomba in Mario

think about how much damage has been done to the democratic party by one guy who just can't admit his kid is a worthless chud

this is a state sponsored children's torture camp

1) "without help from their parents" is not even true for the guy the article is about 2) the numbers are taken from a study by the national association of Realtors, which does not even include this data 3) once you do find the data, the massive, national news-worthy difference is 2%.

Come and See Grogu

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

just saw a video of someone doing good democracy at blinken for doing genocide and he goes like "please, not in front of my children" and the lady drops "one day your children will grow up and read the news" on him "one day your children will grow up and read the news" goes hard

Holy shit a good thing happened

> that under the Act, the concept of womanhood “is not to be understood by reference to any narrow or rigid conception of femaleness”. This looks to be a very strong ruling. (And basically opposite of what went on in the UK) Aussie lawyers will be citing Giggle v Tickle forever. Which is hilarious

Gonna be honest with you, I expect Kash to be a national embarrassment but it seems like the bigger problem here is the Navy orchestrating this shit for him

Turns out a Navy willing to execute civilians in boats in the Caribbean to produce snuff films for the president is a Navy willing to let the FBI director treat a tomb as a fun frolic

There needs to be finally be a tangible set of consequences for the type of abject lying that is done about Tlaib, Mamdani, Omar, etcetera by the right most members of the Democratic caucus. There is a reason that the party has a problem with Muslims and it's because this stuff is tolerated.

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

hey fellow law-knowers, what’s the most momentous case in US case law with the silliest name?

I ducked into a bookstore and found something a little bit remarkable. Toward the end of the first section of a cyberpunk anthology, Isabel Fall's Helicopter Story is in physical print. Copyright 2023. I choose to believe she's out there somewhere, that she made it. I hope I'm right.

I have been lectured to my entire life that the greatest sin in politics is to look down on these cosmically ignorant fuckwits, or to hold them accountable for their decisions. We're just supposed to flatter their Illusions and dutifully repair all the shit they destroy.

I do not get how people do not make the connection between rigid adherence to gender roles at risk of punishment in children + not teaching them basic sex ed + treating them as property of adults, and child sexual abuse. you're setting kids up to be abused and have no words for it, or power to speak

i lost my mind when i saw that chuck schumer posted about the UAP file release but nothing about the supreme court gutting the voting rights act the same day

Bari Weiss's website keeps publishing these "debunkers" that don't actually debunk anything. As far as I can tell, their only argument is that the NYT is biased against Israel.

kind of resonates with the sound of "six million is an exaggeration"

Stop calling the leisured provincial gentry "working class"

On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

you cannot support his work in any way anymore

You’re not *supposed* to write any voters off, but maybe democrats should consider it—you know, instead of building your entire political platform around the goal of winning back white people living in the middle of fucking nowhere whose entire media diet is a firehose of bigoted authoritarianism

Greater harms would come later but the entire reason for being of the Biden Administration was to 1) prevent Trump from getting a second term and 2) punish him for the harm and corruption of the first one, and it was such a failure on that front that now this is happening x.com/KFaulders/st...
