again I point you to 'predator trophy hunter theory.' the Yautja are mostly just Guys and the predators we see are the equivalent of guys who pay tens of thousands of dollars to go kill some poor animal in Africa.

Weird how many racists like to self-identify themselves as racists.

I'm not that keen on the #SuperlativeCannedGoo but I do prefer to buy their bagged whole cranberries AND I have family who love the canned stuff.

My #SuperlativeCannedGoo tweet from the old place is making rounds again. Support co-op cranberry growers!

Congratulations to Mr Duncan and I hope he finally can get his records

It’s pretty simple. When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

I WANT TO HOST ONE OF THESE

If this were to be funded to *actually work* it would be wildly more expensive than a single-payer national healthcare system. Instead this is just meant to more directly transfer those funds into shareholder pockets with less regard for service delivery.

“Well, Dr Cassidy, you say I’ve got renal failure but the doc down the street says I just need to have my humours balanced, and he charges half what you do.”

Can’t find “signature policy” in the Federalist papers, can someone provide a citation

The Supreme Court interfered with Obama’s signature policy, the one that opponents literally dubbed “Obamacare”

I’m familiar, by the way, with the argument that we just aren’t appreciating the NYT’s subtlety here; that it’s actually a searing indictment of this group of elites, just in a “show me, don’t tell me” kind of way. That take relies on ignoring that it’s in the New York Times. /1

The larger discussion of all this is wrapped up in a contemporary notion that I find puzzling of Total Person Endorsement. Nobody can just give props to a single thing people do or make, they feel they have to like and approve of everything about them in order to do so.

Yup. And we see how just having that much and not giving it away, even if you didn't pursue having it, has a corrupting effect. I'm sure this is where myths of cursed treasure come from.

too real lol

yeah, i really can't recall any names that have come up in all of this Epstein stuff that have made me go "oh my god, i never would have thought"

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

So they want the government to force Christianity on us,but not feed poor people. It's about control, not Christianity. They just use it because its the dominant religion in America, and it gets those idiots to vote for them.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

The default filters work for like 99% of this IME. just put em on "warn" and you'll instantly be mad at yourself for clicking rather than mad at the poster for posting

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

DAD: Babe, I think the kid has Ovid MOM: What? Covid? CHILD: Rose darke and full of foggye mist. And now they were within A kenning of the upper earth, when Orphye did begin DAD: To dowt him lest shee followed not, and through an eager love Desyrous for to see her, he his eyes did backward move.

My @plushiedreadfuls.bsky.social barista bunny is in solidarity with the Starbucks workers!

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender

Rest isn’t a reward for doing enough, it’s a necessity for staying whole. We often glorify hustle, but peace is the ultimate achievement. Taking care of your mind & soul before they reach their limit isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom. You don’t have to earn rest, you deserve it. #Jaye’sMorningLight

i think online gambling is a cancer that is spreading throughout our society, it was a horrible mistake to de-regulate it, and we desperately need to crack down on it again

I don't want to hear shit about how Newsom is standing up to Trump. A judge has issued a stay preventing the feds from yanking the CDLs of legal immigrants but @governor.ca.gov is going forward with it anyway. Just like he's persecuting trans people anyway.

These folks are, no joke, quite literally Anti-America. There's no painting a patriotic image of people who so openly spurn a founding principle of the nation. America is not, was not, has never been a Christian Nation, and that's by design. Lack of a compulsory state religion is a feature.

Human said I was getting dangerously close to the load bearing corner. I said "who is the bunstruction professional here?!" #bunstruction #aDailyViolet

can’t really express the level of contempt i have for what is just a form of solipsism. “the things that annoy me are the only things that exist and also the worst things imaginable”

in the actual real world secret police are disappearing americans on behalf of an openly white nationalist government but george packer’s latest is a novel about a world beset by woke totalitarianism

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

The Vatican returned 62 artifacts to Indigenous peoples from Canada, a historic restitution that is part of the Catholic Church's reckoning with its role in helping suppress Indigenous culture. n.pr/43T2xmD

Devastating piece on the human toll of Kavanaugh Stops. Especially infuriating to know that rich white guys like Brett K can simply close their eyes to the human suffering their racist jurisprudence has unleashed.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Reminder that this is a man who worked on 128 episodes of a very popular TV series, and he's got to sell off all of his shit just to afford cancer treatment. SO, HOW IS THE AVERAGE PERSON SUPPOSED TO?

There’s an age where “Mmm please step on me” becomes less about thirst and more about lower back pain

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

I am still amazed at how thick Republicans are that Democratic voters really, *really* do not like the Clintons. They're establishment-popular, not actually popular. "You come for Trump we'll come for Clinton!" they say, ignoring the constant stream of memes and jeering over Bill.

I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

@rahaeli.bsky.social @sarahmackattack.bsky.social

I am going to make sure every record of my presence uses so much fucking profanity that if anyone tries this with me it will just swear at them until they fucking shut it off

Many people increasingly buying into the same “both parties are equally bad” stuff that helped him get popular before and many could learn a lesson from it on where that almost always eventually ends up.
