These two images of Chinese train driver Han Junjia were taken less than 30 years apart. Transformative change is possible when it is relentlessly pursued.

wikipedia is such a beautiful place

this is really making me think about how for all the money they spend on consultants democrats are absolute shit at branding. i care about everything and im really struggling to give a shit about "affordable care act tax credits"

and also with you

thinking about how wild it is that in the mid-2000s it was common for people to believe stories about like. a cat dialing 911 for its owner who collapsed.

something I love about League of Legends is that it's impossible to have fun without a friend or loved one present either physically or in your party

This is incredible and will be thinking about this when I edit the next video

i've started doing a bit every time i see a new dave jorgenson video that i turn up the volume as loud as it will go and walk near my boyfriend but i don't let him see the video he just has to listen to the very loud video. this isn't a political thing we have the same views i just think its funny

if literally any grocery store put me in charge of marketing i could drive these mfs out of business in 6 months flat

my biggest contribution to the LGBTQ+ community is doing my girlfriend’s dishes

whoever made lune and sciel straight instead of falling in love with each other i would like to say to you: what the fuck #expedition33

Sometimes you run across an old quote that stops you cold. From a Jayson Stark article in January 2000:

if the subject of your biographical film is not recognizable by only their first name your film’s title should not be their first name and if you do make it their first name i’m going to assume you were too lazy to come up with a good title

listen. i can't complain too much about the overton window shifting to people wanting M4A. but this is insane historical revisionism! "the democrats wanted medicare for all" literally when?? the ACA was a compromise dems made with themselves and their donors, not republicans.

why are there so many lawyers on the internet. don’t you guys have trials or something

this is correct but also not to be dramatic or anything but it seems really bad to have a political system that hangs in the balance of trusting the party in power to act in good faith and not remove the technicality that gives the minority any semblance of power, which they can do at any time

wow incredible reporting @cnn.com, i could barely even tell which candidate you're being paid to support

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

right wing guy angry walking into his local bank: why isn't your flag at half mast for charlie kirk me working as a bank teller: who's that right wing guy (voice noticeably cracking): he was murdered me (distracted playing umamasume on my phone): cool

they literally want to round us up man. can democrats please get a fucking spine and stand the fuck up for us now? we literally cannot counter this ourselves when they want our voices and rights taken away. please do fucking something

you start reading this and think to yourself, wow, what a brave man, using his full name when whistleblowing to expose these evil acts to the world. then you realize he isn't whisleblowing. he's bragging.

i think i understood kpop demon hunters

rise and shine!!!

what the fuck am i reading

my friend is doing this cool project that will turn everyone gay please go help him seedandspark.com/fund/saygay

preliminary environment work progressing nicely thanks to #crocotile3d

the doctors currently have me on oxycontin and tylenol for pain management and tbh it just feels like a boxing match where mike tyson occasionally gets assistance from an 11 inch tall gnome

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza. “A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said. Here are some of their stories: wapo.st/3UCiAjn

[MAGA world suddenly looking at the photos and videos of Trump being weird with teenage girls and putting it together like the end of “The Usual Suspects” only it takes three hours because there’s a LOT of material to get through]

i wish more companies were active on bluesky so i could yell at @labcorp.bsky.social for being shitty and awful

Trevor Bauer returned from the Japanese minor leagues today, and he immediately surrendered the longest home run in recorded history (594 ft) to Hiroshima’s Elehuris Montero

ten days in, elon musk's america party is going stronger than ever. everybody's still talking about it. best of all, he remembers having started it

crazy that democrats are trying to throw trans people and palestine protestors under the bus for their 2024 loss when they ran a candidate who couldn't get through a *fucking subway takes interview*

getting in a fistfight because me and the boys can't decide if "making your robot talk like Hitler" is a Simpsons Homer & Mr Burns B-plot episode, a Community Pierce & Abed A-plot episode, a 30 Rock Jack & Pete C-plot episode, or a Data & Geordi 2-part cliffhanger TNG episode

NPR's Gaza producer faced Israeli military fire, private U.S. contractors pointing laser beams at his forehead and masked thieves as he tried to get food from a U.S.-supported group. By Anas Baba

truly feel that VA missed a huge opportunity not nominating @ireneforva.bsky.social for VA-11; the more i read from her the more i like her. hoping she runs again for some other office where i can vote for her (pipe dream but maybe primarying Warner? 👀)

fuck it here's my list

TRUTH BOMB 💣 this guy is a Pedophile. I also made him President

ffmpreg is that anything

This is quite an incredible piece of writing. It personalizes the effect of Helene on this region like nothing else I’ve read so far.

am i crazy or is the senate map just never good or what?? i feel like we’ve heard this line every election for the past 15 years. when is the good map.

I can't stop drawing Homer.

nope! hope this helps

its always so funny to me when people straightforwardly suggest that we should make a separate sports category for trans people. like yeah lets make a national trans softball league with all *checks notes* 3 people who want to play

thank you so so so much to @badinfinity2.bsky.social for sending me a copy of his amazing book, and for helping motivate me to get my surgery letters done. i have like 2000 pages of secondary sourcing i need to read but idk if i can wait to read this :3 (just nobody tell my advisor)

Hey @nytimes.com, why the change in headline? Murdered trans man not getting enough clicks for you? Proof: archive.is/aLsoN
