I'm begging modern cinematographers, please for the love of god light things! please I beg of you, I'm so tired of turning the brightness up to 200% and still squinting at the screen to see if I can see anything

Why can't Trump clean a pool, or throw a real 250th party? It's not (just) incompetence. It's also corruption.

This is honestly a solid editorial, though I disagree Urquhart with how small he thinks the threat of antisemitism is. But we'll find out soon enough as we see how much Urquhart is pilloried for this. After all, supporting Weiner will render him Jew-adjacent.

I'm glad people are finally noticing that antisemitism has become entrenched in leftist spaces, when I and others like me called for it to be ripped out, we were gaslit and told it was no big deal, then thrown out of leftist spaces.

I know I'm on Bluesky because the Buttigiegs got a malicious false CPS report and people are busy trying to shred him as a fake gay or whatever. I hate it to break it to you guys but gay is a sexual orientation, not a lifestyle choice. Stop sounding like conservatives.

None of the data center zealots will talk about this

Jfc THERE IS NO GRAND MORAL LESSON OF THE HOLOCAUST, IT WASN'T A CLASSROOM. it was butchery. The only lesson it teaches is "when they say they intend to kill you, believe it, and because social conditions of tolerance can change quickly, have an army - and maybe, strike them first."

On the anniversary of Stonewall, I was proud to join the Alice B. Toklas LGBTQ Dem Club Pride Breakfast. California has historically led the way for LGBTQ rights, and at this moment of renewed attacks on our communities, I intend to continue the fight for inclusion, dignity, and love for all.

I don't think I've met a self-described communist in the past decade that wasn't in reality a ludicrously entitled die-hard capitalist who believed the sole purpose of institutions was to provide them with as many luxury products as possible at the lowest price point possible.

Pride Month ain't over yet.

my feed is full of people mad at Pete Buttigieg for not being gay enough and also people mad at Scott Wiener who managed to marry being the kind of gay who goes to Folsom in leathers with being a politician, because he failed to be "queer politically" looks like there's no right way to be gay huh

It's very funny that the people who would insist to you that climate change was caused by 100 companies also insisted to you that cheap beef was more or less a human right

Well well well well well would ya look at that.

"Biden failed because Trump won" fundamentally misunderstands both the purpose and function of democracy and a lot of you need to be born again into a new church of civic religion.

A Chevalier-supporting account with over 6,000 followers doing a call-out thread to defend the honor of Hamas and the Houthis. If we don’t cut this cancer out of left-leaning spaces, it will do to us what MAGA did to Republicans.

Oh look! Palestinians are trying to rid themselves of a problem and they aren't Israelis so that's why I don't see it on my TL.

I agree with the take that you actually couldn't make Blazing Saddles today because it has too many jokes about how racist white people are.

RIP to a legend ▫️Survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki ▫️Pioneered drag culture in Japan and was one of the first openly gay celebrities there ▫️Had a relationship with Yukio Mishima and became his muse ▫️Delighted Hayao Miyazaki in the recording booth for Princess Mononoke #voiceacting

"Feeling different, feeling alienated... that's probably what's responsible for the Jews having developed such a great sense of humor. The people who had the greatest reason to weep, learned more than anyone else how to laugh." - Mel Brooks Happy 100th birthday to the best to ever do it.

Stranger Things really did serious damage to the way modern young people think about the relatively recent past. A teenage boy didn't just come out as gay in 1987 to a room full of people, some of whom were friends/family but some of whom he barely knew, and receive unanimous praise and support.

No, the word queer has never been used to denote some difference between LGBTQ+ people with and without careers. It has come to be used in that fashion exclusively to erase the queerness of the former group by the most toxic members of the latter, but they don't actually get to define my existence.

I am once again pointing out that Wilmington is way too small for Joe Biden to be able to keep dementia a secret. In 2020 or 2024. There have been other, much less famous politicians here whose mental declines were well known. Biden isn’t one of them.

I don't think the President should have the unilateral ability to remake public spaces to fit his own whims, not as a matter of fiscal responsibility but as a matter of republican principle. "I can change everything I see to be what *I* alone want it to be" is lead-wine-poisoned-mad-king shit.

My Trans son and I think this is funny af. Apparently he's also been called a Transphobe. Some people cannot be taken seriously.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios

"You are valid" is viewed as millennial cringe now, but reinforcing the idea that no one can take away your identity is actually really important. otherwise, zealots will try to hold it hostage.

Fuck Nazis. Fuck MAGA. Fuck DOGE. Fuck DSA. Fuck the GOP.

The weird thing is there really is no lack of TERFs and transphobes online, but they exist more or less unchallenged in their own bubbles because everyone who should be challenging them has been clicker trained to accuse literally everyone but those people of being transphobic.

Like, it’d be one thing if Hamas *only* attacked military targets. But instead they decided to decapitate Thai farm workers with shovels, because violence and horror was the objective.

A major part of why I'm never forgiving every Trump voter is that we could have done 250 with a woman president, daughter of immigrants, married to a Jewish man. The prefect summary of the American Dream. But the fucking burger, you see. God fucking damn it. fuck them.

Biden: Putting his name on the Kennedy Center. Building an arch in his own honor. Even hiring his own pool guy to fix the reflecting pool. Whoa. What a loser.

I find it extremely funny to read this websites obsessive version of NYC politics and then on the other hand the news where the mayor of NYC is in a fight with the city council because he wants not to fund a rental assistance program.

Imagine thinking one’s automobile is the primary indicator of one’s politics. Oh by the way…

Don't piss on my leg and then tell me it's raining; I remember what all you fucks were posting after a massacre of Jews.

oh come on, the Oct 8 rallies weren't in mourning for Gaza, they were in celebration of Oct 7.

I recall being told recently that AOC had a bright future in politics but would need to do a "Sistah Souljah moment" by shunning some controversial farther left figure in public fashion to solidify moderate appeal. And buddy, hate to say it, but AOC is going to *be* someone's Sistah Souljah moment.

Okay stick a fork in her.

Doing my quarterly NextDoor safari

The Buttigiegs have experienced a nightmare that should never have happened at all. I hope whoever is responsible is found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. substack.com/home/post/p-...

this disgusts me almost past my ability for words, the fact they can acknowledge he's fought for and expanded trans rights LGBT rights and still throw him out for what? he has every progressive position on Israel! throw him out because he is a Jew...

Weird, I was assured AOC was a savvy operator who was keeping a respectable distance from her racist friends.

She's talking about the Putin loving anti-race mixing candidate btw. Bold move, Cotton, etc.

Three years ago, President Joe Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act, enshrining marriage equality into federal law. The Supreme Court established the right to marriage equality—and Democrats codified it.

Why do all DSA candidates sound like Republicans at a Southern Baptist church (rhetorical question)

11 years ago tonight, Obama illuminated the White House with the colors of the Pride flag after the Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land.

Mamdani 🤝 Major Republican Donor "Let's back this noxious Antisemite" AND PEOPLE SAY I MAKE TOO MUCH OF THE HORSESHOE. AND YET IT SPINS AND. YET. IT. FUCKING. SPINS.

More darkly "look what you made me do" is literal wife-beater logic.

An alarming take I've started seeing first with Platner & now with Chevalier is "it's your fault I chose to support this awful person because you didn't stop me from supporting them" & among other things it's just an insane abdication of their own agency.

well this is wild and insane (endorsed by Bernie Sanders btw)
