this is incredible

Another Pride month, another year later, and my message remains the same. To my LGBTQIA+ friends, keep being you, keep living your truth, keep the faith, and don't let the bastards break you on this Pride Month and the other eleven months of the year as well. This old straight dude loves you.

Feels weird to mourn a billionaire, but Ted Turner was the closest we had to a pretty good one. On top of all his environmental conservation, buying up all the cartoons and movie libraries and running em nonstop an absolute net positive. No Cartoon Network or Adult Swim without him. Loved that crank

this was highkey an amazing warner bros. logo and they ditched it in five years

TFW when your 82-year-old Midwestern dad can’t take your call because he’s too busy organzing against ICE.

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

Pretty much all of linear cable could be fixed by the following statement: Them actually giving a damn.

With $200B, we could: Spend $500M + 2 yrs to fix US rail delivery to match Spain. At Spain's $35M/mi High Speed Rail cost, less ~$20B for SF transbay and major NEC infra, build 5,000 mi of rail: Bos-DC: 500 mi Sacto-SF-LA-SD: 600 mi Van-PDX: 350 mi Leaving 3,500 mi for presidential whim

there are reasons this guy has neither a teaching position nor a bloomberg column anymore and those reasons are that he decided that he liked being an utterly incurious fucking lazy moron more than he liked any kind of rigorous work

polis is probably going to unfollow me for this one but idgaf. what a fucking freak. worst democratic gov in the country and it’s not even close now that Murphy is gone

I want to see more bad guys lose. I want to see bad guys get punished publicly and severely. And painfully. Just tired of good guys losing all the time. I want more of a balance in the universe. Don't DM or tag me for further details. I will not hesitate to block you.

I would go so far as to argue that calling this crisis "Purdue Pharma 2.0" is actually substantially underselling it. Even at the worst of the opioid epidemic, mainstream media outlets weren't treating prescription drug abuse as normal and fun. All major sports aggressively promote gambling.

Yes! Rather than chasing Trump's policies, they should chase his strategy of shaping public perception.

The entire press corps should walk out, not come back, & we simply shouldn’t tolerate this. Months of “Joe Biden won’t do a press conference.” A nonstop national story. Same with Harris in Aug/Sep 2024 & interviews. Trump does this stuff & everyone shrugs. It’s appalling.

btw the civility panic a few years ago was about precisely this: the ability to have polite conversations about how black people are racially inferior in public without criticism or backlash bsky.app/profile/hann...

it is super funny that right wing mouth breathers spent literally years convinced that Epstein was the shadow king behind one half of American politics and it turned out they were totally totally right about that just totally wrong about which half

Hot Take: I don't think you'd have a (Save _____!) movement around Fallon like you had with Kimmel and Colbert if they fired him. Like, Fallon's face during this screams "Do they like him more than me?" and the answer is "You damn right, you Trump hair raking, NFT shilling fool!"

The guy that runs the Reddit where people post about patting their cat on the butt like bongos has put his foot down

Peaceful resistance does in fact work, and has worked many times before

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

No I was raging at Dems for not taking a maximalist approach against Trump pretty much every day from January 2018 onwards

I have to say, I’m not convinced of the productiveness of the Americans who didn’t want any of this and the Europeans who didn’t want any of this yelling at the other lot that it’s all their fault on the website for people who didn’t want any of this

that's right. we need to reinvent liberal internationalism. we're ten years behind the curve on the authoritarian internationale here

"The real problem is that through our scientific genius, we've made of the world a neighborhood, but through our moral and spiritual genius we've failed to make of it a brotherhood." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "Rediscovering Lost Values" Detroit, MI, February 1954. 72 years ago. He knew.

Republicans and their corporate enablers will destroy America for the fantasy of white supremacy. It didn't have to be this way.

Kyiv is under attack. First, the power went out. Now, the heating too. -12 °C outside. I want the world to know what russia does.

they’re going to need to impose consequences that are felt in a personal way by the people in charge ruining Trump’s big sports show, travel bans for the GOP (or, hell, all of congress), travel bans for rich Trump allies, sanctions on the Trump family they feel invincible, change their minds

if you believe in peace and prosperity for america and for everyone else the only thing to do is oppose these people with every drop of your strength.

trump and his republican party are infected with the same death cult imperialism that brought the world to cataclysm twice in the twentieth century. there's no reasonable sane sensible foreign policy way of dressing up this "strategic logic." history is explicit: this is madness.

To those saying “nuh-uh, ICE picked Minneapolis because they WANTED the city to rise up as one against them” - no, pretty sure they expected a scattering of blue-haired protesters they could easily crush for content + tacit support from other whites, not the organized total resistance they got.

okay sorry having thought about this I have something more substantive to say: The right has been on a mission to redefine pedophile to mean liberal/LGBT, someone "corrupting" "our" youth with liberal ideas about gender and sexuality this isn't some throw away line, but an attack on Renee Good.

The posts where Stancil is talking about community organization that's agnostic of political alignment beyond fuck ICE is what triggered this crashout because "mutual aid" and "direct action" are the leftie things, liberals don't get to have those even if they fight nazis with them

I genuinely think the leftie crashout is because Will Stancil, who they perceive as a dweeby online liberal, is actually doing in real life the things they daydream about

The media printed “Mueller Finds No Collusion” without saying “according to Barr memo” but if it implicates police it has to be “critics say” even when the video is shown to them

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

Folks, Trump has brought the full force of ICE to bear on a mid-sized city and he can't even stop the demonstrations there. He's not going to be able to cancel the midterm elections by fiat or station his goons outside more than a handful of polling places.

Y'all catch that black and white flag there? Another wideawakes.army cameo 👁️ 🫡

Is there a limit to how many times you can watch ICE falling on ICE?

Allow me to connect some dots for you: Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more. Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.

I am pretty well into a script titled "you are being misled about renewable energy" Not gonna pull out studies. Don't need to go over climate change. Just a simple, plain conversation where we look at the realities of renewables vs. fossil fuels and I say "stop letting Republicans lie to you"

The healthiest thing for me to do right now is to fight ignorance and I'm taking the kid gloves off.

Her name is #ReneeNicoleGood. The media is already in overdrive trying to genericize her into "a woman" instead of saying her name. Which is #ReneeNicoleGood. Don't give them that power. Don't let them erase her.

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video

degenerate gamblers are a nest of vipers. polymarket delenda est kalshi delenda est truth predict delenda est destroy each and every one of them

Polymarket must be destroyed.

We have to impeach him.

At this point, if a Democratic presidential candidate wants my vote, their platform has to - at bare minimum - include some version of "I am going to put all these freaks in prison for their crimes." Full stop. No compromise. I am now a single issue voter for the dark woke prison camps.
