I'm going to choose to read this post as a positive affirmation of the liberal commitment to civic participation and functional understanding of the political process. "Look at these libs! Fired up to elect an anti-meteor government! Good for them!"

Actually yeah, realistically voting *is* probably the most useful thing an average person could do in the face of a meteor coming. That’s the kind of thing the government handles. What, you gonna personally do direct action to the meteor? You gonna protest the meteor? Make cutting satire about it?

I've spent the last two months putting together this exhaustive analysis of the New York Times coverage of trans people. It covers 3,242 articles over 12 years. In 2022, the NYT shifted towards a hostile stance towards trans people in their framing. www.thedissident.news/exclusive-ho...

They’re calling it the quote on British politics that ended the need for all other quotes

It’s a small request, but it’s moving too slowly😭😩

A culture that descends into mass support for undiluted, undisguised fascism *is* wicked and barbarous. We need to stop pretending that all cultures are created equal. We shouldn't punish ppl for the culture they come from--after all, we can assimilate Russians into real civilization just fine.

news headlines from 2031: sinkdog the movie makes $200M in its opening weekend at the box office

The secret to success in American center-left politics is to advance progressive causes without allowing the ‘progressives’ control over strategy or messaging because they *generally* suck at both.

Love The Backrooms? Then check out The Forever House! In Rockridge, Ohio, a sinister family moves into a sleepy cul de sac. The Eldreds feed on the negative emotions of humans, creating nightmarish realms within their house to entrap their prey. Link in the first comment.

In 2018, Joe Manchin, a centrist who hates the national debt and welfare, was the last Democrat to win statewide election In 2020, Democrats did what Boots Riley wanted and nominated a socialist for the senate seat. She lost by 43 points.

Started looking for a hotel in Lviv, and, um, thanks, popular booking site algorithm, but that's not the vibe I'm going for. Not least it would be a nightmare if you were on the St Andrews cross when the air raid sirens went.

Every so often I mention doing freelance work for Skullgirls many, MANY moons ago, and it still baffles me the excited reactions I get. Great to hear people had enjoyed, and still enjoy, Skullgirls to this day!✨

Well, that was a fucking ride.

The “secret” about Backrooms is that it’s just a good movie, by any yardstick. The way to replicate its success is to support & develop young writers & directors. And to give me a modest 5 million dollars to make my movie.

Mamdani: "Solidarity with a government that is committing genocide is a very different thing than a question of solidarity with people of a specific faith. I'm proud to be a mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population in this country."

Hi, folks, I don't do this often but if you like FOREVER WARS and can spare us a few bucks, it's $5 a month or a discounted $50 a year and @attackerman.bsky.social is the single best commentator on global warfare alive. He can't say this about himself but I sure can. We need your support.

one of the oldest running dialogues in history is "war is a massively complicated political, bureaucratic, and logistical endeavor" vs. "fuck you pussy, war is when you're a fucking badass, oh shit I lost"

It's always hard to push fundraisers. Especially after 4 years when donations dropped significantly and many people moved on. This fundraiser is already 7.5 months old. And all this time the unit is waiting for repair of the truck. I know many my subscribers are not active. But #UkrainianView

Iran is going to connect its electricity grid to Qatar’s and is looking at deals with other Gulf states. Good work from Trump: he’s made a brutal, repressive regime a respected partner. Iran is now far stronger.

if you cannot tip do not get service where tips are a thing if you just don't want to tip put your head in the toilet

One of Russia’s largest fuel retailers Tatneft has just announced fuel rationing across its entire network. This is huge. The whole country is now facing shortages.

Ukrainian drones have hit the Moscow oil refinery. It’s burning. This is a big one - the refinery provides 40% of fuel for Moscow and the wider oblast. #explodey

This is why so many people are skeptical of giving an inch on foreign policy to the left wing (even when it’s extremely obvious they are right on some topics)

Coming through like … like I don’t know enough British history to come up with anything clever.

Cool this will def stop all the boomers on my Facebook sharing memes about how a woman in a hijab refused to sell an Iraq veteran ham in Tesco Express and when you say "that Tesco Express doesn't exist" they reply "yuo are just brain washd honestley i can,t bleieve yiu are like tjis open yuor eye"

It’s the eternal conflict between architects and engineers. Architects and utopians imagine marvels to be built, bureaucrats and engineers must turn them into reality, prevent everyone dying and cut the unrealistic parts. Same reasons venture capital resents HR. Or boys hate mom

We have very few views of our fundraising, I don’t know how to deal with this and what to do so that they see me and so that we can complete the fundraising as quickly as possible and transfer everything we need. 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩65%⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️
