As @alexandraerin.com said, if you're in the crowd it's not gallows humor, it's just part of the execution.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Men have felt and will always feel entitled to control women’s bodies. We see this everywhere, from Twitter to the Supreme Court. Generative AI simply offers another vector for attempting to exert that control. A mere photo of your face online now means you can be in porn against your will.

Let's give my friend Juno a hand, yeah? venmo.com/u/junostump

we are living through a real reminder of why Harris embracing the Cheneys was a bridge too far for a lot of Democrats who got very yelled at for looking a gift horse in the mouth

"But Democrats have no power!" is what happens when you are abiding procedural decorum the GOP won't honor. Fuck unanimous consent for ANYTHING in Congress. Grind everything to a halt. Filibuster everything. Make it impossible to do any business. Weaponize the rules, because they already have.

Anarcho-communsim is the moderate position accept it before you have to deal with the greens and the nihilists Moreover, ICE must be destroyed bsky.app/profile/nora...

Imagine a republican mass shooter, in a bell tower, shooting at a crowd of people. Imagine how monstrous you, personally, would sound if with each person shot you screamed "he just shot that guy to distract from shooting this other person!" When it's concrete, with no abstractions, it's obvious.

24 hours ago, journalists were wondering aloud what "deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty" could possibly mean

Look at who the aggrieved party is in Ken Martin's statement about the bombing of Caracas and the abduction of Maduro. Is it Maduro? The Venezuelan government? The people of Caracas? Of Venezuela? No, it is American elected officials and the American people.

They’re all posting their statements on the child porn platform? That’s a wild choice.

bush said "its about liberation" because it was actually about oil trump says "its about taking the oil" because its really about bloodlust, insane online fascist "west has fallen, billions must die" type shit. randomly bombing civilian areas (and chavez' mausoleum) for le based tiktok sizzle reel

He needs to be primaried and replaced. He needs to be tried as a collaborator.

Something cosmically cruel to female podcasters that their industry's Pivot To Video is happening right when the deepfake revenge porn machine is really hitting its stride

In fact, the argument can be made that America is rejecting sustainable energy precisely because doing so would diminish the profits of American oil and arms manufacturing.

As @alexandraerin.com said, if you're in the crowd it's not gallows humor, it's just part of the execution.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

I just want everyone to know that years of people whining about Vuvuzela Communism helped bring us to this moment.

There are trans women out there protesting knowing that they might get arrested for protesting and knowing that they might get fucking V-coded if they're convicted and they still do it, you cowardly little piece of shit

"Either do your job or get arrested" Every trans person is braver than you and your son you spineless little bitch

Even before CBS News was bought and given the Kabletown-ass “We Love America” and “Things That Matter” slogans, every nightly report included a final segment of blood-to-syrup human interest treacle, entitled “America Strong”. In case you were wondering how this is going to go w/ legit legacy media

incidentally if you like sriracha mayo, gochujang mayo is even better

People always say the guy piloting the evil death machine is the problem, but I think the evil death machine itself is the problem.

conservatives will always see the existence of anything they do not personally own, especially if it is in the hands of those they see as below them, weak, contemptible, insubordinate, as an act of aggression America sees Venezuela existing for Venezuela and not for us as literally an act of war

people talk about stealing resources but this is about the wounded masculinity of Americans and the desire to feel powerful by hurting, conquering, killing, taking, this is about Americans understanding ourselves as masters of the world and lashing out in rage at a world that won't just submit

the american flag is and has always been a symbol of hate

This is why there aren't organized leftist movements in the US by the way. whenever they get big enough or successful enough, all the leaders are murdered.

stop including caveats about Maduro that reinforce the justifications for the bombing/kidnapping stop repeating the language which is meant to justify this horrific crime your statements should focus exclusively on: this is a crime against law, against humanity, against Venezuelans

whole thread. CW rape. what we're seeing with elon's digital rape & CSAM machine is collective gleeful revenge by cis men as a group against women as a group, trans people, and yes even children, for the crime of resisting the status of sexual property. bringing down the boot.

whole thread of statements, nearly all of which contains language condemning Maduro and feeding Trump's framing of his actions, which helps legitimize this crime. Dems need to stop helping legitimize the abuse of power and won't.

I’m sure that living through one of the periodic crises of masculinity during the Late Victorian British Empire would’ve been viscerally embarrassing too, but this is really something

5. Hardspace: Shipbreaker This along with Snowrunner and Powerwash Sim are my holy trinity for job sim games, but with the added bonus of an unfolding meta narrative as you work the day job of dismantling space ships, a game that's remarkable relaxing until it isn't. Ha-HA! Explosive decompression!

I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why. I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

"Why are we arresting Maduro and not Netanyahu?" Because Netanyahu works for us, and Maduro didn't. That's really the difference. We are the global hegemon. We aren't the good guys. If Putin gave us oil and tribute, we'd sell him cheap weapons, just like Netanyahu.

from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.

best reporting since CNN said their reporters personally witnessed Maduro supporters burning aid trucks and video showed it was 100% definitely Guaido supporters

democrats have talked for years about how unacceptable maduro was and spent the better part of the biden administration propping up a joke anti-president in the hopes that “organic” change could occur in venezuela.

Venezuela could have zero natural resources to steal and conservatives would still be furious at Venezuelans for insisting that they exist for themselves and not as a resource for us to exploit

IMO oil is a secondary consideration to Venezuela being a country in the region the US considers to belong to America's sphere of influence and who the filth see as small and weak and contemptible and yet who still defy America's will This is as much about filth feeling emasculated as anything

there's not gonna be a "democratic transition" you stupid bitches! he's outright saying there's not! just say this is wrong with your full chest! unequivocally and without your useless nuance!

He was of course a MAGA guy. The posts on his account that weren’t replies with AI porn of other women were barely literate Trump support. The underlying point of the fake genAI nudes in his posts was not so that he could jerk off. One can do that quietly. His point was: “we can do this any time.”

How is this not lethally humiliating to everybody involved goddamn

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Time to dust this one off again

"Why do people hate liberals?"

this is worth reading. a longtime NYT insider confirms that the paper's abrupt turn into seething anti-trans bigotry came directly from the top: AG Sulzberg and his 2 deputies, Joe Kahn and Carolyn Ryan transnews.network/p/a-directiv...

I'm sorry we fucking kidnapped Maduro? What even the fuck

So no, one does not "distract' from the other, they are literally the same thing. This is the magnitude of what we have to cope with and act against

people talk about how certain issues just aren't popular enough for politicians to support them yet but gee golly there are certain things where unpopularity doesn't seem to matter one fucking bit in electeds being gung-ho for it. funny how that works.
