I have a theory that Mark Twain time travels and drops the dumbest people imaginable into every timeline to keep his work alive

I highly recommend this.

Graham Cracker is Honey Bunches of Fucked. Bernie Sanders, Ryan Grim, The Podbros, Morris and Rebecca Katz (not related) should never know a moment of peace after royally screwing the Maine Democrats and by extension the Democratic Party itself. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Yes, such a coincidence that they created a fake woman first even though replacing a male actor would save them more money.

I think I'm on my longest ever streak, EVER, of doing shows (ALA, CAKE, speaking at c2E2, etc.) and NOT coming home with a cold. I'm masking FOREVER.

I've come to the conclusion that people weren't unexplainably naive about the suffering of others in the past. Rather, people in power got away with things that people knew were horrible just like today. You can always find ppl of the time that knew, even if one ignores that the victims sure did.

the now-popular line that our country must restrict immigration in order to preserve its culture and infrastructure deserves any two of three responses: 1. fuck you 2. a natural-born billionaire is a much more urgent threat to culture and infrastructure than a low-wage immigrant 3. FUCK you

For reasons that have become terrifyingly obvious, it is popularly obscured that the start of the evangelical political movement wasn’t Roe, but a backlash to desegregation. White churches first organized under Massive Resistance to build alternative schools.

good friend of mine has multiple pride things out in front of her house (in a neighborhood plastered with reelect mike johnson signs) and has gotten multiple notes in the mailbox thanking her, including one from a closeted teenager signaling virtuous beliefs is good, actually

My dear trans siblings, I am so grateful for you and all you bring to the world with the miracle of your being. I am so deeply sorry about what our country is doing to you & your families, biological or chosen. I will continue to follow you in this fight. I believe that you will win ❤️

I really have to emphasize this is the modal outcome of these bans—trans athletes are like vanishingly rare—and is actually a good tactic when talking to someone who feels a little weird about the issue This is also why I think these bans will end up being fairly unpopular

Remains a critical point. People argue that whatever the plain text says the authors certainly didn't realize it cld be used to apply to anyone. In fact, the debates themselves make crystal clear they not only realized this but very much intended it to apply in this way.

Please help me get the word out! My workshop posts last year apparently got buried = no views. I put so much research and preparation - my mind, heart and soul - into teaching, so would love to see these classes fill up! #FashionHistory #CostumeMakers #HistoricalCostume

As I keep saying, the authoritarian personality is instinctively suspicious of & averse to *difference*, and beyond that, it can't imagine otherwise. It can't imagine taking *pleasure* in difference, feeling curiosity or delight. It can only cognize difference as deviance, as threat.

"Did you hear about the NYC DSA candidate's tweets? Like she was—" You wake up. You are not online. It is the year 2026, and you are the German World Cup team goalie. You and Ecuador are tied and oh fuck you spent too much time arguing with the people in your head and Ecuador just took the lead

Commercial gelatin was a genius business maneuver IMO. They took a slaughterhouse waste, skins, bones, and connective tissues, boiled them, and it's presented to the public as jello and gummy bears. Gotta respect the vision! I guess a lot of people don't know this? More vegetarians do, I'll wager.

THIS. These places were pillaged. Colonizers did horrific damage and now equally horrible ppl are like 'why do they need help?'

And also if you're genuinely a leftist with genuinely leftist values it seems like the one legitimate use of America's vast wealth and power *is* to swing your dick around to materially improve conditions for people

“Still punk af” I think to myself as I tell people we really needed this rain.

Okay, yes it's PRIME DAY. We're all very excited, but let's take a moment to make sure we're getting the most out of it. We don't want to waste this opportunity. 1/4

The truth this is

potluck commandments.

When I see an officer in the news being held to account for excessive force, the majority are women it seems like. The police are not majority women.

Winner. The chance to really not even be bothered by the was 2 years ago. They failed. They will keep failing if they think like they post.

Because the point of both the boarding school/children's fantasy genres is that adulthood is cruel, arbitrary, and unknowable to children, while the point of the coming-of-age heroic quest fantasy is determining your place in the world and what kind of adult you want to be.

I don't want my ideological enemies harmed, but I do want them to be *inconvenienced* like, I hope their racism or transphobia or whatever makes it so every time they try to open the cereal bag, it never opens evenly and rips down the middle or their belt loop gets caught trying to exit a doorway

If gender is a social construct & not a biologically-determined binary, if I can't know at a glance if you're dominant or dominated, if you reject & pull apart your "natural" place in the system - the supremacist ideology & power structure undergirding all of society crumbles. 5/

okay but what if a 10-year-old thinks moby dick is better than middlemarch, what then. where are they supposed to go

I've been tracking this since April. The world economy is Wile E Coyote over the cliff spinning his feet before he looks down. The reserves are dwindling and even a full reopening would take at least a year to get back to normal. The market is completely disconnected from reality.

The "vote for the opposition you want" theory is far less well-known than it should be.

“Why’s it taking so long to take down the name when they put it up so fast?” yeah, undoing every single thing he’s done is gonna be exactly like that, get used to it

Not enough of you are holding @mayor.nyc.gov’s feet to the fire over abandoning of trans healthcare and don’t think it’s going unnoticed There were a LOT of people OnHere that promised they’d call him out. That they weren’t going to turn him into a celebrity crush who could do no wrong I see you.

I was considering attending a few WC games in Houston just for the once in a lifetime experience and to soak up the vibes. Once that POS WC head gave that POS Trump an "award", I was out. I won't even watch on TV. Fuck 'em all.

Every staff update in every university right now: 1. We are excited to announce a strategic investment of eleventeen squillion pounds in ACRONYM, a new AI-powered centre for the development of strategic acronyms. 2. Staff have until Friday to apply for enhanced Voluntary Death.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

of course they never cared about Pride, but the world in which they pretend to care is vastly better than the one in which they don't pretend and we are seeing it in real time we want the money to think there's more profit in being performatively woke than performatively bigoted

"For all the endless hoopla about "Democrats connecting with ordinary people," 99% of which is "Democrats must rigidly adhere to the directives of elite reactionary centrists," Steyer here is talking about an issue in the same way that actual people who vote for Democrats do bsky.app/profile/maxk...
