wait, fuck, this is gorillaz

All it took was starting a major war for the "say something over snd over until politicians and the media capitulate and treat it like truth" strategy to finally fall short. Tehran is not cooperating with Leader creating history with his words

Can barely read the text through the waves of Fetterman particles coming off the page

90% of the bumper stickers in this area are some manner of Trump stuff and/or Christian nationalism, so when I see a gem like "STOP HONKING, IM CRYING TO 'THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD' BY GORDON LIGHTFOOT" it really makes my day

They weren't drawn by traditonalist nationalism, they were drawn to explicit engaging in traditionalist nationalist ideas (?)

Imagining myself trying to pry the remains of my arm out of the twisted wreckage of my car when someone runs over like "the extra ranch better be in there, last time I ordered here they didn't give me the ranch"

This type of triangulation worked out SO well on abortion rights, it *definitely* doesn't open the door for attacks implying the Dems know the GOP talking points on the issue are fundamentally correct but are just too scared to go as far as needed to fully oppose what they're demonizing

Pure fucking evil

this might be the funniest TNG clip I've ever seen, and that's a stiff competition. He's so excited and also so defensive about how excited he is- very relatable

Yeah I've been thinking about this a lot re: distraction narratives. Why would the administration need to distract from anything they've done so far? There's an implication in that framing that the Dems were just about to utilize public support to take action on X issue if Y issue hadn't come up

My only big complaint with the new job is that it's been 2 weeks and I still haven't managed to fully switch to a nocturnal sleep schedule, which makes closing shifts like tonight's a lot more difficult. Might be a sign of getting older, or maybe I just need some blackout curtains for my room

It was 90 degrees F here earlier today and now it's hailing :0

A step further, if you look around at the world today and think "kids don't get enough messaging that being trans is bad and wrong and something they should hope to avoid," you're a stupid person whose opinion wouldn't be published in a major media outlet if the "problem" you're describing existed.

Fetterman me once, shame on you. Fetterman me twice, shame on me

Having a stable source of income is goated when long-term survival is the vibe

Best of luck to the Bollywood folks and soccer players, hope they all get out safe.

Real bad

Wet Mario is so powerful...

Sir? Sir??? You didn't give us and our pals in Congress a chance to gain serious bipartisan good boy points by allowing us time to offer our measured support for this???

Florida tried doing this through state agency dictat last year, really worried they'll be inspired to go the legislative route now

Actually looking forward to the same SCOTUS justices who respond to legal bloggers questioning their impartiality with sustained public outrage to give a simpering response (if any) to the president calling them morons paid off by foreign powers

Got more driving shifts for next week from the new job than I was expecting! This will make up for the remaining amount on the fundraising ask so pulling it now, thank you all so much <3

We're up to 93/360!! 🧡

Already at 63/360, thank you so much!

make local coop to play with wife

holy shit i got the pizza job :0 thank god

Jeez, how many big liberal media sources have done pieces on Anthropic's AI being alive in the past week

Just had a job interview at a big pizza chain, and I think it went well! Wish me luck

as far as euphemisms for sites of mass human deprivation and death go, "concentration camps" was hard to top, but i think we've managed to pull it off with "human warehouses"

Think I got worked up over a joke post, never mind

When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."

Obviously this celeb isn't putting his flesh on the line anytime soon, but it's good to remember that the blowback of too much wanton, public state killing is that more people are forced to contemplate and possibly accept the idea that they may have to die for their values

It's called "The Atlantic" because that's the ocean that contains the island where they met all their prominent hires

Nothing beats "in order to reform this institution that flagrantly ignores its own rules, we will approve a new rule saying they have to follow the rules"

"It is 100% impossible for women to understand the penguin" is a phrase that's going to stay with me for a long time. It's perfect

Hey remember like 3 weeks ago when we did a little press blitz whining about how the vicious, powerful tranny lobby was falsely accusing us of pushing anti-trans narratives? Anyway, here's a TERF to explain that anyone who doesn't like Harry Potter hates freedom

"Hey mom, I found a new form of hypocrisy within conservative thought that will force them to question their stance on something" "Hypocrisy, or Straussian friend-enemy distinction?" "...Straussian friend-enemy distinctiln"

found this ancient video in my phone's download folder

I think a lot about how the moral panic about video games causing violence dried up overnight the second CoD started selling like gangbusters.

Appears this is also true for fascism.

This legacy continues in the comment sections of shortform clips of TV/movies

Dems are proud of the fact that they won the 2020 election pretending to want to rein in police corruption, then gave them even more condition-free funding once they were in the majority. You can definitely trust them when they say they'll rein in ICE once they get the majority back
