This is a prime example of why right-wing populism slides so easily into antisemitism. You need a populist framing of "the people" versus "the elites," but you can't frame the elites in strictly economic terms, or else you end up with leftism. Hence you need another way to define "elites."

When I say "that guy's not even an American!" what I mean is that he's a marketing professor in Canada.

This is actually the perfect distillation of the fascist mindset of tech oligarchs—they want working people to blame immigrants and people of color, so we don’t unite against the oligarchs.

It’s a really funny runner how every issue in American history that apologists claim “no one” knew was wrong has a corresponding Quaker going “this is wrong”

Gat dammit. I knew about this but I didn’t know it was related to this scammy behavior that requires me to buy yellow ink catridges when I’m just printing B&W. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer...

We need to put a stop to all haunting dark academia romances until we can figure out what's going on.

Pride month may be over, but if you have the means, please support Margie’s Hope which runs a trans-affirming clothing store in my area! They’re only 45% of their goal right now. thebuckeyeflame.com/2026/06/22/w...

Stop anthropomorphizing billionaires

Seems scary. Seems like a lot of them. But remember: they came from all over the country to do this and the best they could muster was a decent turn-out to a small town's Pride Parade worth of chuds.

The old understanding of the year being broken into four seasons is dead. There are two seasons now: Miserable and Intolerable

It's very much this

Protestants getting rid of transsubstantiation:

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

love to march up to people doing entirely normal, harmless things and, within 3 seconds, be screaming "BACK THE FUCK OFF!" at the top of my lungs.

I think it should be bigger.

i saw more cis people online losing their shit over playstation ending physical game releases than any part of this since tuesday, but madiba doesn’t miss and gives a fuck and this is what the big picture looks like. which seems not great when you put it into a 234-word graf.

imo genAI is only “inevitable” in the same sense that “the technology exists and can’t be un-invented.” AI companies are operating at insane losses and there’s no guarantee they’ll survive. Calling the current market structure “inevitable” is a weak rhetorical move to shut down valid criticism.

You can lead a horse to water. And that's pretty impressive all on its own. Horses can be stubborn. And so big!

Queer people don't care if you call yourself gay and bigots don't care what you call yourself *at all.* That's the whole reason we're in coalition together: the people who want to send us all to camps aren't going to be like "oh! Sorry, I thought you were queer. You're just gay, so you can leave."

[nodding vigorously & transgenderly]

Conservatives: "The gender binary is innate & immutable. Men & women are so obviously different they are nearly separate species. It's impossible to mistake a person's gender." Also conservatives: "Please remove your underwear, too. I'm going to need a swab to determine your 'true' gender."

if your 'defence' of women involves invasive and scientifically unfounded testing to determine who qualifies, you're not defending women, you're defending the patriarchy

Trans people are facing a decades-long, escalating, international effort to drive them out of society supported by some of the richest, most powerful people AND governments in the world and you are right that a few of them being snippy with you on social media is, essentially, the same thing.

and bring back the Biden-era rule that auto safety evaluations must consider people outside the car (pedestrians, cyclists, people in other cars, etc.) as well, not just the actual passengers

The thing about all the defenses of Israel you see in the US via a liberal perspective is that Israel's own leadership goes on television and Twitter every day and they very openly say what they want, which is incompatible with liberalism, or really anything vaguely related to the law.

Ah, yes. That famous insurance fraud scheme where you pay for it, but never use it. Classic.

And nobody cares except us. I’m on like six unemployed black woman listservs, where everyone’s freaking out, and nobody’s like “I’m running on trying to get y’all jobs.” It’s like we’re being erased from American society.
