Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50 Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Dem leadership for generations: no you fool, you infant. It is a process. It takes time and political capital and expertise, it's- Mamdani, dusting off his hands: fixed it Dem leadership: what do you mean you fixed it Mamdani: Just had to unplug it.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

"Adobe suggests using After Effects as a substitute" I'll be deep in the cold cold ground before I even sneeze in After Effect's direction

It's a perfectly cromulent program, so you're discontinuing it BECAUSE you don't need to update it??? I HATE THIS HELL WE LIVE IN

Hey here's a new feature idea MAKE IT STOP CRASHING

Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale. So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

sorry everyone we at pencil company know you liked pencils, but we can't think of any new ideas for them, so we're discontinuing pencils tomorrow. also, you won't be able to access all your pencil drawings, please burn them, cool

Kathy Hochul needs to buy Zohran a fruit basket and enable his tax plan in Albany.

The instant you start to think that more people should read your posts, it's over. A true poster doesn't really understand why anyone would want to read their posts.

this is what really killed the place even before the nazis fully took over the Venn diagram of “people willing to pay for Twitter so their replies are boosted” and “people capable of making funny comments” is just two completely separate circles side by side

We can use this. I don’t believe it’s possible to reform ICE (or worth doing so even if it was) but shutting down DHS funding over milquetoast reforms is a solid strategy both for starving DHS and for hanging them squarely around the entire GOP’s neck.

I am trying to focus on good things because the bad things I think are literally driving me insane.

actually I think reducing it to "Rich guy abuses teen girls" is part of the problem, since this is a story about transnational geopolitics not some lone predator

I'm convinced one of the reasons epstein was able to coast for so long is that for many sensible people including and especially educated liberals, viewing the world through a conspiratorial lens was always seen as vaguely distasteful and rube-coded

pedophiles do in fact deserve to die and it's actually not that crazy to say that, thank you

Locking replies due to antisemitic reposts and comments. To those who posted these things: never interact with me again, and work on yourself. If you don't think you're a Nazi but you agree with them on antisemitism, I don't care about any of your other ideas.

also anti-trans debate, Global right wing, Brexit, now also the uk Labour right.

like he was there for the foundations of Gamergate, Bannon's push to turn the GOP far-right nationalist, possibly intentionally exposing Bill Gates to an STI to get leverage over him, Trump witnessing a baby being killed, etc and this is ON TOP of the coverups of the child rape and trafficking!

as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

i think one of the reasons that epstein's conspiracy functioned at all is bc it worked through many self motivated individuals. most 101 conspiracy theories are bunk bc they assume evil works as a monolith. a lot of it was built on leverage/kompromat. once you were in you couldn't get out.

I think we barely scratch recognising the cost of this. Recently we were lucky enough to reach enough-to-live-on escape velocity, bought a house, no kids or car, so we could finally stop thinking about money like this and my adult life long problems with migraines, insomnia, and back pain stopped.

I've long known that big C conspiracies are a comforting lie that leads straight to bigotry that all the world's evils are a deliberate plan by hooded figures who carefully cover up their plans bc if outsiders knew they'd stop the conspiracy. 🧵 bsky.app/profile/evan...

That while it felt like we were fighting separate fights against rape culture, violent transphobia, racism, and other bigotry; there wasn't just overlap, it was the same club trading tips on how to manipulate governments, the media, & the public 🧵

// child sexual abuse That from what I've gleaned the reaction to having people in the club that don't rape children was not "we better hide it bc they'll ruin us if they find out" but to traffick teens & vulnerable young adults too so everyone could bond over being, at minimum, fine with rape 🧵

// child sexual abuse I am having trouble with the idea of someone who didn't rape children themselves but doesn't see knowing someone is raping children in the next room as something to care about or even a reason to quit socializing. That they treat it as vaguely naughty like drinking before 5pm🧵

// child sexual abuse I don't think that's substantially better. As sick as it would be, I could wrap my head around it if everyone in the upper classes who raped children made a clubhouse so they could traffick & rape together. 🧵

// Child sexual abuse , other forms of abuse & harassment Thread: it's not that they made a club around all being child rapists, it's that they made a club that didn't see child rape as something to draw any more a hard line against than wearing white after labor day. 1/

i know one Very Funny way to hatewatch something that doesn't count as watching in any way with social consequence

Here's the story

This is the facility. The story is more than a week old.

Apparently there was a city meeting in Hutchins, Texas, tonight. Hutchins is the location of DHS's newly announced 10,000-person concentration camp. What I've been told is that city officials were unanimously and adamantly opposed to it. Unfortunately, I'm seeing this nowhere online.
