The "not all disabilities are visible" sticker mixed with "I have hit two disabled people with my car" tally is absolutely wild

184 would make you the smartest person in about 94 million. So, not an unreasonable claim that there might not exist some such hypothetical people. The issue is more that the statistical mechanism of IQ tests means that meaningfully evaluating someone as above 160 becomes impossible.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

I got put on a “pathetic misogynists” list for calling bluesky the “rape culture website” in a fit of dismay in conversation with other survivors on yet another all-day escapade of watching people on this website excuse sexual assault and be misogynistic to women I *love* this website. I chuckled.

What drives me crazy about the media is that they were right to talk about it with Biden (If anything they weren't emphatic enough earlier) but there's this weird fucking forcefield around admitting Trump's brain is swiss cheese too.

Do you know what's actually tedious? Centrists finding out time & again not only that their analyses of where the world was heading were wrong all along but helped provide the conditions for us getting to where we now are whining about "teenage tankies"

The thing about Adonis and Cait is that one is a byword for classical beauty and the other is a big soft orange cat.

So many liberals want to believe Trump is the end all be all of the fascist movement in this county. The even more fascist right has already been criticizing him for years. He is not the end. Don’t bury your head in the sand.

It is objectively hilarious that Turning Point US's co-founders were killed by Covid and gun violence respectively.

The other thing is that in a gig economy there is no degree that promises a good career anymore, not because you should have studied computer science or social media management instead of history or Russian literature, but because there are no careers

that was a great brunch, it looks like next on the schedule is to *checks notes* look…up to…a right wing nationalist

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

Your “pragmatism” is a utopian fantasy that is getting millions of people killed.

Democratic Socialism is the imperial working class’s method of negotiating for a higher share of colonial superprofits. Trade unions abandon the political struggle, political parties abandon class power, both collaborate with the bourgeoisie instead of overthrowing it.

Getting called tankie by someone whose entire global order relies on drones and nukes.

my cat when it's 1m passed feeding time:

I love hearing someone talk about how they’re “politically homeless”, please tell me more about your amazing brain

Péter Magyar is a Kojima-ass fucking name for the Prime Minister of Hungary. this is like losing to a guy named Johnny ‘Merican.

I don’t often find myself agreeing with Ezra Klein, but this is completely correct — and frankly, shows some guts for a mainstream liberal columnist to say. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/o...

we're living in unprecedented times

"mental illness used to be the ups and downs of life" No, mental illness used to be your mum taking to her bed for 20 years with what were euphemistically called "nerves".

1. US Median household income stats don't count people experiencing homelessness. And US homelessness peaked in 2024. 2. 48% of the US has no money left each month after paying rent and bills. None.

like I made a joke about Olivia - Good 4 U sounding like Paramore - Misery Business, until I found out she actually has to pay royalties for Paramore for that and...fuck off? you can't own a fucking chord progression

New least favourite phrase I've read in an essay/paper: "premodern and non-Western". Very cool. Definitely a cohesive category you can make generalised statements about. No issues there whatsoever.

i only want cherry picked pieces of data actually my malformed peasant brain can't handle big pictures

if you’re still arguing about this i don’t believe you actually care about swalwell or epstein or trump

Differential inflation and real AHC incomes for the bottom 10%, along with long-standing and famous levels of regional inequality are exactly what is being talked past here. You are a professor of economics, ought you not be able to engage on that level?

Died really early on my first play-through from morale damage off him.

6th largest economy in the world

The biggest difference between 1990s Internet and 2020s Internet is that the bulk of our online activity has been corralled onto unregulated for-profit digital platforms The profit motive driving the way these platforms are designed and run is the root cause of everything that goes wrong on them

BREAKING: Massive Attack musician Robert Del Naja defies the unlawful ban on Palestine Action. He said “the actions of Palestine Action were highly patriotic, because they were pretty much protecting our country from getting involved in serious war crimes, and breaking international law."

this mf can fit so many marxist publications

If you wanna talk media literacy, you need to account for why Coogler only libs out when he works with Disney

This is a pretty goofy appeal to media literacy, given the reason people associate that character with having the right ideas is because they could clock where intentional mustache twirling was lazily studio note inserted and how it clashed with his otherwise rational worldview

Anyway I hope everyone is saving some of this energy from demanding due process for Eric Swalwell to demand due process for the several hundred thousand people in jails in the United States because they can't afford bail for their nonviolent crime charges despite never being convicted of anything.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Dommebreaking is all well and good, and VERY fun, but have we considered the potential of dommebuilding? Taking some uncertain, insecure 'sub-leaning switch' under Your wing, imparting on her a mesure of Your cruelty, letting the flames of authority and sadism burn away her doubts and fears.

Particularly with respect to war. Finding a war that it's Sensible and Necessary to support is a primary motivator of liberal democratic politicians. Otherwise the right calls them sissies.

the party political broadcast that came out *this morning* has starmer vehemently rejecting involvement in the iran war, again. so, ok there might be a ‘government position’ but it’s not what starmer’s trying to get everyone to believe

A load of white guys refusing to accept the U.K. should withdraw their bases from Cyprus and what Cypriots want doesn’t matter, because Britain knows best, comparing it to Afghanistan (face palm), and they think they are the progressive ones

Yeah they are far more like to indulge right wing wants of the public but thats because it aligns with their ideology and doing unpleasant things “reluctantly” is what makes them feel like they are doing serious sober politics. labour’s racism, transphobia etc has the cruelty as the very point

A lot of people don't really want to admit it because it hurts their priors but the past few years have reaffirmed, not rebuked, the notion that Israel is reliant upon Western replenishment to maintain the level of QME it possesses.

sick of these catholic converts showing up and saying "well I have a different interpretation of the scripture" no you don't. that's protestantism and a heresy. don't like it there's the (incredibly beautiful and heavily ornamented with precious metals) door

Hello I am Saeed, and this is my message. My family is suffering greatly and living a harsh life. We are homeless. There is no healthy food, and we are starving. My mother is ill. We desperately need your donations. @mommunism.bsky.social Give us hope now! ⬇️🥺 chuffed.org/project/1635...
