The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Important to remember this was part of one of the wrongest “calm down” series in history

Never heard of this law before right this second but holy fuck if it does not 100% check out

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

So let’s think about this. A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands. The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

Sure would be nice if there were any kind of major movement just to straightforwardly limit executive power, rather than to push to use it in a particular way once we have it.

Update late last night:

*sigh* great. There’s obviously some sort of device nearby I’m gonna need to use this on to compete a puzzle so I gotta lug it to the leftist coffee shop and bookstore with me

One or both VA dems are always always ALWAYS on these lists. Kaine and Warner gotta go.

almost every american ive ever met who has moved here is simply floored by the difference. It's in the places you expect--like healthcare--but also countless ones you don't, like the quality of roads, transport and maybe most important of all, public spaces.

Metacritic has sent a reminder email to all games site editors/publishers which is pretty strong, and great:

Once again: trans rights was & is the pillar holding up the whole of the rest of liberal democracy & the battle to defend trans rights was & is nothing less than battle whose outcome determines the difference between a free, open & tolerant society & a fascist society

We literally know now that anti-trans legislation was pushed by a pedophile ring to allow a pedophile ring to serve a pedophile ring’s interests, and legislators have decided the best course of action is to keep doing what the pedophile ring wants.

Hey, so we got a trojan horse ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

CW: transphobia. See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤 This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did. But it's not just similar. It's *identical*. In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938. Paragraph 175 and 183.

Al Jazeera is the only news outlet I’ve seen reporting on this, which is why I follow Al Jazeera.

Hey, so, reminder that Tennessee Republicans are introducing a bill that would kill women who get an abortion. I dug up the MAGAs names, numbers, emails, & a script to use when calling them. Men—we need to step up. Act. Inundate them. Shut this trash down ASAP. www.qasimrashid.com/p/tennessee-...

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

Blocked another user today who posted a paywalled article. Stop doing this. Stop retoasting people that do this. Most importantly, stop writing for orgs that put up paywalls! Paywalls are garbage and journalism orgs that use them need to crash and burn yesterday.

we were taught about hitler like he had these supernatural oratory skills to be able to rile people up like that when it turns out a lot of people are just profoundly gullible and stupidly mean

They're hoping we'll forget about this in a few months and that we'll resubscribe to Nitro so they can get back their funding for this nonsense. Cancel yours and do not forget about this.

I think this is one of those things that's stunning, in all the worst ways, and most of them aren't obvious. Let's start with the basics: there are about 5.5 million trans Americans. This means that *nearly 10% of the entire trans population of the nation* has moved. Just Last Year

This is both an act of war *and* a war crime, as it is similar to cutting off water or destroying power plants. It's designed to kill civilians.

"they won't actually ban birth control" "they won't actually murder trans people" "they won't actually end abortion" "they won't actually try to overthrow the government" I am so sick of people treating these folks as rational actors with rules from the previous century expecting norms to save them

I said ages ago on Twitter that people are going to have to get a lot more comfortable with breaking the law and organizing with law breakers

Haha, Elon Musk's AI company started 3 months after this comic was published www.smbc-comics.com/comic/artifi...

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

It's hilarious, to me, that all those shitty New Atheists are transphobes "I love science, and I hate religion as much as I hate trans people. Pay no attention to the fact that my position on the trans issue puts me perfectly in line with every religious fundamentalist movement in all religions"

I feel like the “Dems don’t have plans” is really about the centrists and establishment Dems who have no plans & no idea how to fix things, as evidenced by not fixing things when they’re in power. But the progressive Dems have a ton of plans, like billionaire tax, ubi, free uni, universal healthcare

Yes, @brianbeutler.bsky.social is correct on billionaires. www.offmessage.net/p/the-case-f...

"If a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced it are left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves"

Didn't vote because Kamala "wouldn't have stopped the genocide in Palestine"? Nobody could have - it's happening in a foreign, nuclear armed nation we have no direct power over. What matters is that Kamala would not have opened concentration camps or raised up a gestapo to kill innocent citizens.

Literally impeach every single impeachable person in the entire chain of command, including Trump.

Something I think about often is, if a Democrat said this today, it would've been a hot mic moment and they'd have to apologize and say it was out of context. FDR said it at Madison Square Garden, 3 days before a presidential election

Normally not a fan of cute names for bills but there are exceptions to every rule

We as a society really need to start assuming (publicly, constantly) that people who conflate being queer with being a danger to children are themselves pedophiles. The response to "We have to protect kids from trans ideology" should be "Okay groomer" It's cathartic, but also usually correct.

Kevin Conroy was working the serve line at a cafeteria for cleanup workers after 9/11. Some fireman coming through recognized him & called out 'hey I got Batman over here!' When no one believed him he begged Conroy to back him up. "I am vengeance! I am the night!" Cue cheers from the cafeteria.

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling. If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

GameFAQs continues to be the greatest website ever made. The only way to pull up decent video game guides on my phone still - to this day - without stupid amounts of ads bogging it down and causing issues. Even for many modern-era games as well. Absolute godsend.

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.
