Taking a break from this website you people doom too much

I actually think woke is back I think we’re winning

it’s cool tho because zillennials might never have a huge sway over popular culture but we’re gonna peak much later in life, we’re gonna save the world when we’re middle aged

being born 1997-1998 is about always being either the very youngest or the very oldest person at any function

is this me just posting my personal L’s or did zillennials really get robbed of our core young adult years?

Major victory in Kansas for transgender people. The Kansas Supreme Court declined to block a lower court ruling on gender markers on drivers license. ACLU Kansas says trans people can get their licenses updated starting Tuesday. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I’ve decided to become a morning person

Who would win Bill Cipher vs. Q

the history of the english internet has been an endless struggle between the ambient spirit of 4chan and the ambient spirit of somethingawful at each others throats. they're calling it The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Yuri in Internet History (人類史上最大最悪の絶望的百合)

twitter is currently a frankenstein combination of 4chan and tumblr. we all know this. but bluesky is a different beast that i don't think people born after ~2004 fully grasp. bluesky is a frankenstein combination of tumblr and somethingawful

when is danny brown gonna announce she’s been on hrt for months

the main toxicity here is doomerism + hugbox-iness + skewing older & less online culture literate. it’s like styrofoam and gasoline and a lit match

i mean from the era, there are dozens of modern bands like loathe and fleshwater that are transparently deftones worship and they all rule

wanna get in my car and milf metal is playing

doing my own version of inktober this one is too bipolar, the shoegaze in the middle and bjork at the end feel out of place. but it’s the start of something

how are deftones so good when every other band similar to them kinda sucks

8. There is one promising sign for LGBTQ+ people in all this: Democrats, by refusing to cave to Republican demands on both the full-year appropriations bills and the continuing resolution, have shown a degree of backbone critics often accuse them of lacking.

Transgender for everybody!

woke me up when september pronouns

Let’s fucking goooooo

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night. All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

video conferences all morning :(

guy in 3000 bc: remember when tools were made of stone 🪨 now every thing is bronze 😡 we used to live in cave ⛰️ now we sleep in hut 😪 instead of hunting ox 🐮 we make them pull plow 🌾 who else wish we could go back 😩

It's remarkable how much of the far right is openly saying they want to kill large numbers of people. They can sidestep and say it's not advocating for political violence because it's the state and there's a semblance of process but this is murder. It's what nazis did. Show trials and executions.

Here's Michael Knowles a month ago once again calling for the "eradication of transgenderism" and here is a man who threatened to shoot up a gay bar because he wanted to "eradicate transgenderism." This was retweeted by prominent conservatives such as Chris Rufo. This is stochastic terrorism.

The NYT ate with this, ngl.

all this really says to me is that older people are addicted to watching stuff on their phones

freaking out in my car last night in my apartment parking lot listening to The Con by Tegan and Sara on full volume

trans people did this btw. we also did 9/11, world war 1, and the bronze age collapse

UK's Labour Party abandoned transgender people. The gambit to pursue rightwing voters by abandoning a targeted minority failed, and now they're facing the prospect of a historic loss. US Dems could learn a lot from their failure. Great piece from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The main animals are probably - dog - cat - chicken - bird (different from chicken) - fish - shark - snake - elephant - horse - lion - tiger (includes cheetah & jaguar) - bear - cow - pig - sheep - frog - giraffe - and of course monkey (same as ape) Honorable mentions going to zebra & penguin. Duh

the amount of raw, unadulterated fear that many Americans have of even small cities is never going to stop being darkly hilarious to me

What I took from Larry's excellent thread is that one of Klein's weaknesses is his inability (refusal?) to take seriously enough the democracy-corroding effect that a memeified GOP political culture has had on our public discourse, and the way it has radicalized supporters of that party.

Unfortunately, I don't have dem Senators to call. Yaaaaay red states. 😒

The Ezra Klein style of caring about political “strategy” over consistent moral principles and values of your own reminds me of how a lot of pop culture consumers obsessively track box office and chart performance rather than just evaluating based on whether things are good or if they like them

Grimly intrigued to see how many rights we lose in the next 2 days while they strategize about how much to give away so they can keep the government open. Because heaven forbid we interfere with the functioning of a government dedicated to taking away whatever meager rights are left afterward.

Living on the coasts i think makes this worse.

How are there no billionaires who have made peace with their mortality and decided to have a legacy (overthrow capitalism). @mcuban.bsky.social you will never surpass yourself if you keep trying to play with the soulless flowcharts in suits that don't believe in anything but their own gratification.

Another Sunday, another interview in the New York Times where two cis men politely discuss if trans people are actually human or not. No consensus reached! Oh well!

Trump and Dems are officially meeting Monday. This is after Trump cancelled his last meeting with Democrats because they were holding firm on immigrant and transgender protections. The Republican budget has dozens of anti-LGBTQ+ riders. Call your Dem senators, people, don't let them capitulate.

the epstein files come out, turns out trump is a pedophile, trafficked girls from mar a lago, and was even bailed out financially by epstein at one point—something people paying attention have been known since the mueller investigation in like, 2018 then what? would average americans even care?

instead of fascism, what about a pizza party?
