Depression is a real shithead sometimes.

You stupid motherfuckers

The dark ritual was successful, I see.

This has been extremely clear since we all saw how "essential workers" got treated in 2020 and 2021 while everyone else got to stay home.

I just saw "I'm staying skeptical because I remember what happened to Emmet Till" over on reddit. And there you have it! The worst possible faux-woke misogynistic (not to mention racist) response to this whole mess. We can pack it in, discourse over.

Predicting it now: McConnell is alive but never going to wake up and they’re hiding it because “see, you can’t replace him, he’s alive” is deeply fucking embarrassing in light of that. Honestly that sort of “akshually we technically can do this” BS is perfectly fitting with his rotten legacy.

I think it looks more like Bernie, Warren, et al. lost a checkers game to a toddler

“i imagined a world where you got that scholarship instead of me and it was so emotionally devastating i need the government to eradicate all your wretched kind from public life so no real girl will be traumatized by hypotheticals like i was ever again”

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

In America if you touch the president's special slime pool they send you to prison

That’s a sincere hope, by the way. Platner is obviously a dog shit liar with no real moral compass, but there’s a chance a good team will keep him in line. For the sake of American Democracy and the end of the violent imperialism he cheered for, I hope that happens.

On my fucking knees begging “leftists” to not talk about the US left being “stabbed in the back” by international Jewish money. It will surprise no one that this was a discussion about how people need to support a certain senatorial candidate in Maine.

This headline seems hyperbolic but my personal experience both bike commuting and riding recreationally is that a lot of drivers definitely do, even in a deep blue city in a blue state.

Conspiracy theory: there isn’t going to be the jet fuel to run these flights into the US soon anyway, and this saves face for it.

Unfortunately this story has spread to more mainstream outlets and comments are full of “I’m a liberal but people should stop moving here/this is a waste of tax dollars/why do they want special treatment.” As long as liberal cis society maintains this degree of apathy, the crisis will continue.

Mass Effect isn’t really an endorsement of the existence of extra-judicial super-cops because while playing as one you spend probably half your time cleaning up huge messes created by other extra-judicial super-cops.

A strap on one of my bras broke, which would be only mildly annoying if not for the fact that the dryer tore another one of my bras by twisting it into a super tight knot just a few days ago. Seriously what the heck?

This is the stuff of electoral suicide. You can kill half a million brown people abroad but that won't piss off voters nearly as much as turning up the How Much Stuff Costs dial.

I did a stint of political phone polling during Trump’s first term and unfortunately heard stuff like this on the regular. One guy once told me he opposed solar power decisions because he was worried about depleting the sun’s energy.

Starting Chapter 18 of The Persephone Effect and I’m reminded that anything I can imagine for Demeter is too good for her. That’s a fun character to hate, in the tradition of Joffrey Baratheon or Immortan Joe.

Got to the start of Chapter 3 of The Persephone Effect and am reminded of why watching Olympic-level (heh) women’s climbing competitions is hot as fuck sometimes.

God damn rock climbing is just unreasonably fun.

What a great surprise to come across my feed!

So much terrible fucking news and suffering, but damn it this is unambiguously cool as all hell and no one can convince me otherwise. I can scarcely imagine what that view must look like in person.

One Angry Man

Just finished Isabel Wilkerson’s The Warmth of Other Suns and wow, what an incredible piece of narrative nonfiction. I learned a lot -and- it made me cry at the end. That’s a precious combo, right there.

Everyone remembers that.

Misread the room.

I don't think trans people should be imprisoned for 5 years because they have to pee

It is somewhat darkly funny how Trump has bumbled into destroying fossil fuels as the world's main energy source and empowered China through its renewables manufacturing.

Oops I just pulled an all-nighter. Got a lot done, but gonna regret that later for sure. Someday I'll learn how to wrangle my ADHD so that I can hyperfocus like this when the sun is not on the other side of the planet. Someday.

Liberal politicians now in a flat-out race to become right-wing caricatures of liberalism and promise free stuff at absolutely zero cost to the vast majority of their voters. Promises that this is revenue neutral are about as believable as when Republicans claim the same about their tax cuts.

I genuinely think I was inoculated against this by 90’s era Star Trek, where competency, empathy, and decency were repeatedly shown to go hand in hand. Why be a Dr. House when you could be a Dax?

If this happened lots of them would absolutely end up with the neck of Kirk’s bust vandalized.

Oh they might bring back the draft? *laughs in tranny*

I performed on stage with Shania Twain when I was about 13 years old.

I had a liberal Boomer coworker tell me “Operation Epstein Fury” is working because “you’re not talking about the Epstein files anymore” and I damn near bit through my tongue.

Texas saw Kansas trying to claim the crown for “most clearly evil state government with respect to trans people” and couldn’t let that slide, apparently.

What kind of residents, HuffPost, or can you just not bring yourself to say “trans” in your headline? I fear the logic is “if people see the story is about trans people getting fucked over, they won’t give a shit and won’t click the link.”

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

Normally my reaction to an old beloved franchise like Eva getting some kind of reboot is an eyeroll because the results are bad like 90% of the time, but I can’t lie, Yoko Taro at the helm has my attention.

Also trying to parse all the emails that read like they were written by a concussed golden retriever I think I finally get why these guys are so enthusiastic about getting chatbots to write for them

I accidentally ended up on the Discover tab and over there there are still liberals suggesting that Trump is doing everything he’s doing at Putin’s behest. I can’t even.

Fuck that’s about one block away from a spot I used to hang out at all the time.

Only the most extreme reasons (e.g. active war, pandemic) should be allowed to halt free movement of people. It ought to be the default right of human beings.

The extortion of Zelensky that got Trump impeached in 2019 honestly pales in comparison to the threats he’s currently leveling over Greenland. We are miles past guardrails that still existed only two years’ worth of Trump presidency ago.

Least Hitlerite Republican group chat.
