This is now my alt so I’m gonna sad boi post. Feeling undesired by my spouse bc of perimenopause has absolutely destroyed me and broken me and I can feel the edge of deep depression behind me

to be kind of blunt, if the hardcore veteran activist organizer expertise that you bring results in "light a dumpster on fire, get mad that this is filmed" it's not really expertise anyone should respect, sorry. don't care how many little activism merit badges you have.

Y'know now that you mention it, haven't seen much reporting about state or city cops getting in the way of protestors during whatever confrontations with ICE they're currently engaging in. This is cool and good and makes the calls for calm a lot more digestible.

I think that I’m cursed in this life to love people more than they love me.

Drafting articles of impeachment without control of either house of Congress is a strongly worded letter.

We could have had the hyper competent lady who was the most progressive Senator, but no, she wasn't good enough when the alternative was the ancient guy now waging an illegal and immoral war. Great job, everyone.

The problem is that all of the right no longer believes in democracy, and a small but noisy segment of the left also no longer believes in Democracy, as shown in this screen grab.

I know this is stupid but imagine any outlet in 2024 saying that Biden responded to signs of aging with defiance. Biden’s only real sign of aging was that he spoke wuietly and slowly.

they don't want pussy. they want to endlessly critique pussy

Smoking a cig outside of LAX Ben Foster asked to use my lighter, and then we watched a dad run by at full sprint pushing a fully loaded luggage cart with a kid maybe 8 years old on top.

You want me to look back on 2025? The thing that doomed Orpheus? The thing that turned Lot’s wife to salt?

People on Bluesky not knowing that people not on bluesky exist part 470910847210757213

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

The thing is, you can’t be both a political activist and also a smol bean. If you are a politically active then the things you say and the words you use are intended to persuade and you own the results of that persuasion.

Just to be fully clear, Andrew spent all of 2024 shitting on the two other candidates who would NOT have sent people to slave labor camps in a foreign country.

It will never not be odd for people to confidently assert that LLMs can never do *the thing they are best at*. The LLM can’t make the decisions on what sources to include in a footnote, but it can ABSOLUTELY pull together those sources in a ln organized way that makes it clearer to sift through.

Will, my salary increases were fully earned due to my hard work and not a byproduct of the general economic environment which the gubmint engineered via policy, while the price increases were ABSOLUTELY all the fault of the gubmint engineering them via policy.

ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security. It's a "papers-please" America where freedom is conditional and innocence comes last.

I, for one, have a theory about why certain people have had their brains destroyed by *very specifically* Jamelle Bouie telling them that their favorite hobby is dicking around. (He was right! I'm dicking around! There's nothing wrong with it!)

Unlike Sanders, of course

Oh-if you primary every Dem in Congress -you still end up with the same MATHS. INCREASE SEATS …INCREASE POWER… …start going after the folks (you helped vote into power-I digress) wanting to starve you and unalive you by proxy via no healthcare, Jobs, or food…thems NOT Dems- thems is REPUBLICANS

Dems knew they were gonna ditch the vote… Read that again. If you don’t think Dems knew they were NOT going to go through with the ACA vote- YOU need to yell at YOURSELF. Minority party has NO power. NONE. Harm reduction and mitigating harm is IT. Be MAD at the culprits. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

“at least” now starving folks and firing folks is off the table during the next shutdown. ACA extended subsidies were TOAST the moment y’all handed power back to sociopaths. Y’all yell at “old people” but at least they know how shit works. Learn how shit works: www.congress.gov/legislative-...

I got served a video today of a woman interviewing people on the street asking the first time they heard a negative comment about their bodies. All of the women were under 10, and none of the men had ever heard one. I know that the point of the video was about the misogyny that women deal with

So here come the "how Democrats can motivate their stay-at-home voters" articles. What I see: Landslide victories for the Black and white men who preceded and followed Trump, and not quite enough votes for the Black and white women who ran against Trump. The problem is clear.

Where are the protests against Republicans? Where are the protests against Republicans? Where are the protests against Republicans?

Listening to the Sapiens episode of If Books Could Kill and @michaelhobbes.bsky.social says “I probably didn’t need to talk to an actual medievalist” and i thought “He DMed @lollardfish.bsky.social” and then 20 minutes later he goes “So yeah, David Perry told me…” and I was like I am too online.

He called in some friends...

It just straightforwardly IS a team sport, and it is a team sport where not supporting the home team is actually harmful to the chances of winning the game. And in this case the game is “beating fascism”.

Streaming live TV has this problem much more than terrestrial in my experience

I am not some Anti AI guy, but this is trash and the @uarizona.bsky.social and Arizona Athletics should be ashamed of this garbage.

Can we please shame this dumb asshole into leaving again?

I think what I’ve seen of both Sydney Sweeney and Chris Pratt’s politics are conservative of the sort that we generally would have rolled our eyes at 10 years ago but not been terribly offended by, and that a lot of the other stuff is assumed bc every other conservative signifier is so terrible.

This is probably true to a large degree, but is also a bit like saying I never break the law except when I speed on the highway, but you speed on the highway every time you get on it. If you make an exception for the majority of instances because you personally don’t consider it to be an example.

Man the song rent is really fucking insufferable.

“Welfare is good when it helps poor people, it’s just the problem with these welfare queens who ruin it for everyone” ass thinking.

People who perpetually attempt to depress Dem turnout upset that Dems lack the power to do anything bc they didn’t get enough votes to control Congress.

🎶 Hello, Daddy, hello, Mom I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch, cherry bomb 🍒 Happy Birthday to Cherie Currie, born on this day in 1959, Encino, California. She was one of the girl who started it all.. #punkrock #womenofpunk #therunaways #cheriecurrie #history #otd

Is there a difference between loving someone and being in love with someone in your mind? What is it do you think?

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Soooo, help me out here. Can someone who made their entire personality screaming Gen0cide Joe and Killer Kamala list out what you are doing about this? I mean this is POTUS directing murder. Protests? Chants? Closing bridges / freeways? Occupying buildings? Voter suppression? No? Nothin'? Strange.

Worth pointing out here that the first time I interacted with Denny was about him talking about the vibecession.

I never really had a Christmas dinner tradition until late college/adulthood when my friend Max started hosting an annual get together at his house for all of us theater kids who’s parents didn’t know we smoked, and 90% of the party was cramming 50 ppl into the 10’x4’ patio chain smoking.

Incredibly brave to post this on the “AI is worse than the holocaust” website.

ah yes, the thing that makes me a “cultured elite” is i am not a big enough rube to believe that trump is some bottom-up populist phenomenon bsky.app/profile/zacs...

Is Rent a Christmas movie?

There is a real answer to the reason, and it’s best illustrated here.

transitioning your gender is great. that can involve any number of things, from name change to medical procedures to none of that if you become convinced that you cannot be masculine or feminine, and define yourself by the negation of one (or both) of these things, you will become a monster
