A few days ago, Newsom upset a bunch of people by saying Dems need to be more "culturally normal." What I didn't realize is that it wasn't some off the cuff phrase, but actually something he's said before. It's a scripted line that he thinks is good? From 2 months ago: youtu.be/Lm0qZy3e-Yk?...

Guess I have to publish this damn thing now. I didn't want to write it, but now it's all but inevitable, it's time. thoughtnami.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-... In the meantime, I'll have one final thought tomorrow. I'm tired, folks.

art of the deal, baby

Only 6 years later and we're down to 4 companies. This should scare you.

srsly how

Almost every statement DHS has made in the past few months about any incidents where someone has died or been subject to unaccountable federal violence has been proven false.

The "reactionary left" has a psychosocial architecture where anti-establishment credentials provide a moral license to engage in public bigotry — as long as you can reclassify marginalized groups as agents of power. In the same way, trans-inclusive feminism is dismissed as a "bourgeois" distraction.

Patrick Swindle is the CEO operating the Dilley concentration camp. There are people behind this. They must go to prison.

Please address this portion of your statement regarding the idea that video game violence increases real world violence. A claim that has not been conclusively proven scientifically, should hold no bearing in this lawsuit and serves only to create a foothold for oppressive censorship of art.

Video games do not cause gun violence! This was already disproven MANY a time. If it's gambling you are worried about, go after these sports betting websites that advertise on EVERY platform, both kid-friendly and not. Don't be like Jack Thompson. Do better.

Repost with alt text. This fuckin' sucks. I have a lot of things to say - not just about this, but about the past 48 hour in general, but I guarantee that they're going to get my ass banned from this app.

Important update: I was sent proof of another very large donation, and we are now at $38,247.98. That is not a typo. Today has blown me away and reaffirmed my faith in humanity. Can we make it into an even $40,000?

Seems like firing your cast, canning two movies of plot development, and restarting from scratch really paid off.

Anyone clowning Mamdani for this is not a serious person. He's doing exactly what any leader should do when the sundowning fascist develops an anime crush on them: exploit that shit to the fullest.

Good lord—this is actual antisemitism on the left. It’s also a really good example of why everyone needs to get off of X immediately.

We’re going nuclear, Illinois — and we’re prioritizing affordability, safety, and reliability.

I remain happy that the Zohran Mind Virus is able to impact the most odious man alive. I hope he goes back next time with the Trump Immigration Security Plan that instantly abolishes ICE but renames the Herald Square Sbarro to the Trump National Pizza Shop.

the right's moves are utterly mysterious if you take their own word for why they do what they do, or the centrist media's, and utterly & trivially predictable if you've read even one decent leftist/feminist book about anything

of the two articles currently circulating about Sheri’s Ranch which feature Jupiter Jetson, this one is way more worth your time. there is a fascinating and important story in the unfolding workers’ rights movement in Nevada’s legal brothels that will resonate with anyone who’s been a contractor

If you have to stay out of politics you might as well not make art

This can’t be reformed, only destroyed before it kidnaps and kills again.

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

Absolutely horrifying. This refugee survived genocide and died because of the gross incompetence of federal immigration agents.

Secretary Clinton has been trying to get the press let into the deposition. Reminder: she wanted the hearing to be public, but Comer said no. Now she’s saying that if Boebert is going to take photos and send them to people like Benny Johnson, then the press should be allowed into the deposition.

For the many Platner fans here, Peters is a white supremacist, Holocast denying / antisemetic, virulently anti-trans anti-gay right-wing influencer. There's no lack of people making similar points that Platner could be reading and promoting who are not nazis.

SEE HOW EASY IT IS?????

Good source protection from Benny here.

Throw the guy in his own jail.

A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas. This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people. This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.

bsky.app/profile/swee... I wrote up a script for people unsure what to say or who have anxiety about calling. fellow cis people, you have no excuse to not put your lives on the line for trans people. we are past the point of simply hoping things improve.

If you do not fight at the barricade of trans healthcare you will fight at the barricade of the most stigmatized medication you are on and you will do it with fewer experienced allies because you left trans people to die.

We really, really need a cataclysmic backlash against the GOP all over the country, if we're going to have a goddamn country at all. These are totalitarian lunatics who will only be stopped by overwhelming opposition. The good news is I'm pretty damn sure we'll fucking get it. But this'll be ugly.

Definitely some elements of moral panic to this as people sublimate broader anxieties about AI onto a kinda whatever light industry land use with some pluses, some minuses. But it is funny how the AI firms brought this on itself & is now befuddled not everyone wants the machine god in their backyard

Attention: Men!

Ignoring that this isn't a real card, would you let someone play this custom commander at your table y/n

Had this idea for Mina and ran with it 💜💚 #MHA #BNHA
