I get the sentiment, but all of these are indeed opinions. Crappy, hateful opinions are still opinions. We're also free to react to people's opinions, so nothing is changed by whether they are opinions or not.

Fearful Americans Stockpiling Facts Before Federal Government Comes To Take Them Away https://theonion.com/fearful-americans-stockpiling-facts-before-federal-gove-1819579589/

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

For some people, mocking the murder of a political activist by a misguided individual is too far, but mocking the murder of fisherman by the US government is totally fine.

Conservatives believe free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want. bsky.app/profile/theb...

Now some libertarians are also deciding this is the moment to take the mask off, so-called principles be damned.

A lot of powerful people seem incapable or unwilling to understand the First Amendment.

The way so many white Christians are going really hard for Charlie Kirk, while my black Christian family members don't claim him... Tells me a lot about how Christianity is still racially and politically divided.

The New York Times continues to report Trump's behavior in the same non-urgent manner it reported the rise of Hitler.

It only took the Washington Post 2 more months to complete the purge of black staff columnists. Continued appeasement of an ideology that believes black people don't belong in certain spaces.

The myth that racism is primarily driven by economic conditions must die, especially on the left. It is a misdiagnosis and a kind of excuse

Elon Musk is fairly openly fascist, and given his enormous wealth, he's a big threat to democracy across the world.

I remember going to a Holocaust museum and being shocked how casually the Nazis talked about killing "useless eaters". Now here's the same ideology being broadcast on a channel the US President watches religiously.

"I don't agree with everything Charlie Kirk said..." When people say things like this we should ask them to explain exactly which of the things he said that they agree with.

One of the interesting things about LinkedIn is it really hits home what and whose political opinions are allowed to be safely expressed in public. Even given what I know, I can't get away with responding to many political posts.

We don't yet know the shooter's motive. I hope it wasn't political, and even more so that it wasn't from the left. Right wingers are not afraid of violence, especially in these times, and escalating that wouldn't be good for innocent people.

Charlie Kirk thinks Charlie Kirk's death is a prudent and rational deal. Wrong even until the end.

There are people who want to spend time simply quieting their minds. I can't imagine what that's like.

As I'm getting older and busier, I have much lower tolerance for people asking me a bunch of questions in emails.

No one should be shocked that Israel has decided to attack yet another country in the Middle East. Netanyahu has little incentive to stop given he faces such few consequences.

I'll be entirely unsurprised if the court decides that he does have that power. Not because it's found in the law, but because they want him to have it.

The same Supreme Court that said it is unreasonable to consider race when giving kids access to education, has said it's reasonable to consider race when looking to remove someone from the country. Funny how that works.

Here comes the pain. Now Trump's base will finally see who pays for those tariffs, because it isn't those foreign companies.

The bad news is that this still turned on a technicality. These companies can still train on copyrighted work without permission, as long as they get them from a legal source. So still, little legal protection for creatives whose work is stolen. apnews.com/article/anth...

Trump has demonstrated that there are fundamental weaknesses with the current model. For example, the enforcement of the law shouldn't be under the control of the people breaking the law.

People don't realize how many questions they want to ask... until they realize what their data makes possible to answer.

The unelected white politicians who ran a small majority black town locked out the mayor they had elected. Now he's ran again, and won again. It's just terrible that the first part of this story even happened. www.cnn.com/2025/08/31/u...

There's a surprising amount of social progressives I watched that became either genocide deniers or defenders. There's a "complexity" they grant to the genocide wherein they would see clarity with other human rights issues. Maybe they'll be open to the evidence they establish as required.

"Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948)". Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, genocide scholars' association says - www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Really tough loss for Arsenal. A brilliant free kick by Liverpool to take it. #LIVARS

I'm glad I'm not a Fulham fan, because I'd have a lot more complaints about the refereeing decisions today. What bollocks. #CHEFUL

Recently experienced multiple instances of this interviewing at my workplace. It's a smart way to cheat the system, and will force employers to adjust, including by cutting back on remote interviews.

The idea of a quad-tap missile attack on journalists and medical workers, at a hospital, is wild. The fact that there will yet again be no repercussions, continues to disgust people of conscience. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It's a sad leader that would even tolerate such fawning from their subordinates. It's an embarrassing leader that would it.

They gaslit you all throughout the election.

I can't explain it, but I'm especially emotional about Eze joining Arsenal. Before signing for Tottenham he called the Arsenal manager and asked if there was a way he could come home to his boyhood club. They brought him home. What a statement from our team. www.nytimes.com/athletic/656...

At work I often see good data patterns in my head, but then struggle to explain them to others. Fortunately, I can also implement them, and it's at that point where many others see the value.

Judging by the multiple reviews so far, Thomas Chatterton-Williams should definitely win an award of some kind for his ability to write so terribly.

Scientific racists say they just remain open to whatever the evidence may show about genetics. Yet if you ask if they are open to the idea that say black people are genetically more intelligent, they will quickly dismiss it. That's just one reason why it's an ideology with a pretense at science.

What track and field event are nurses great at? Shot put.

Modern American fascism will manifest as masked federal thugs taking people to concentration camps viewed through footage on your phone that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one being brutalized and taken away.

Civil Liberties are already being suspended, and given the scale it becomes overwhelming to litigate in the courts. Eventually, people will just stop expecting to have certain rights.

The right-wing is moving up the fascism scale at frightening speed. I hope there's an election in 2026, because I doubt there'll be a free and fair one in 2028.

To everyone looking ahead for the redlines, they’re in the rearview. We have military in the streets, concentration camps, erasure of history, election fuckery, abandonment of due process, a Gestapo, an authoritarian leader, an impotent Congress, an obeisant SCOTUS, and an asleep populace.

Me: "son, can you grab my laptop for me" Son: "here's one of your 50 laptops" Me: "hmm, that's the wrong laptop" Son: "See! That's my point!" Is it really a problem if I can admit it though...

One of my favorite phrases is a Jewish one which states "may their memory be a blessing". It encompasses my view on grief, and my view that I also have a duty to honor that person's memory and carry it forward.

1 nil to the Arsenal. Poor play, but great result for Arsenal. #MUNARS

I’m gonna say armed troops from red states descending on a blue city is just a few inches — or maybe one exchange of gunfire — short of a civil war’s opening stages.
