This is very big news and it shouldn't be downplayed. Every win against fascism and for free speech is a massive deal. We have to be clear eyed about the darkness. We also need to be just as willing and open to see the joy that comes with victory, big and small.

Hey so apparently it’s bisexual awareness week, so I just wanted to make sure you’re all aware of me

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

But does it fuck?

There is a clutch of pundits who treat the world like it’s an Ivy League seminar course, mostly because that’s the environment in which they emerged. They think debate and white papers are the pinnacle of political action. They fume at anyone who approaches politics in any other way.

Probably a good time for the periodic reminder that the New York Post is not and has never been a newspaper; it is a tabloid

Well Gavin, you were plenty happy to help him with his work trying to eliminate trans people while he was alive, I have no doubt you’ll continue that work now that he’s dead.

But did the grand jury indict the sandwich?

People think that conservative backlash is proof that we should take progressive change slow but actually its the opposite. We need to push through left-wing change at a blistering and impossible-to-keep up with rate the same way the right-wing does their cultural initiatives.

But does it fuck?

I think it is once again worth pointing out how easily these goons all fold when met with any kind of resistance

Basically, “we know he’s not actually allowed to take a baseball bat to every institution he wants, but we want to wait until after he smashes everything to tell him that”

Guys, I think it’s time we’re honest about something: Spiders Georg would have to eat way more than 10,000 spiders a day to actually skew the average that much

I remembered that I had made this joke on Twitter back in the day, logged in specifically to post it, only to look and see that it was literally one of the first things I posted here

It's been 2,269 since the Threadnought began Yet the fans of Vic Mignogna – a sexual predator and pedophile colloquially known as the R. Kelly of Anime – trundle on

Kinda wish people would stop saying “masculinity” when what they mean is bravery. Some of the girliest girlies you’ve ever met routinely confront danger and pain, while self-styled tough guys have to invent threats in order to feel like verystrong ooh so menacing big boys.

I'm pretty tired of "you made me hit you" arguments from self-declared serious people.

I've been saying for years that when people talk about "crime" they don't mean violations of criminal law. They mean something very different that is almost entirely defined by race and class. Then these fuckers just tweeted it out

So much about our current national situation is explained by the fact that a substantial proportion of Americans truly believe that “feeling somewhat uncomfortable” is the same as being the victim of an actual crime

Every day is Defamation Day

Even the Staten Island tourism website is like, Things to do in Staten Island: Leave

This is a common refrain with serial sex criminals, serial killers, people who kill children through severe abuse, people who go commit violence on a bunch of strangers. Very often, people WERE going to the authorities beforehand, were BEGGING for help, in some cases for YEARS, and were turned away

Look, there are a lot of things you can say about this, and, if I'm honest, there are a lot of things that I'm resisting the urge to say about this. But I'll say this much: software companies broke ownership. The longer we go without fixing that, the more we're going to regret it.

My bologna has a first name, it’s D-A-R-V-O

Damn, girl, you’ve got more keys than a piano janitor

I see Elon Musk is once again doing whatever he can to get his own businesses banned in Germany

I for one am excited for Cuomo to embarrass himself even more by coming in fourth place, after even Sliwa, in the election

To me, the lesson of De Blasio and the NYPD is different: they will hate you no matter what. NYPD, especially the white well-connected officers who make up the upper ranks, get their news from conservative propaganda and will not respect your authority or cooperate with you no matter what you do.

Your regular reminder that we should increase the budgets of the national endowment for the arts, the national endowment for the humanities, the institute of museum and library services, and the corporation for public broadcasting to at least 1B/yr each. Probably 2B for CPB.

Underrated think I liked about the election were Mamdani’s and Lander’s campaign logos, because they both used colors unique to them, which made it immediately apparent at a glance you were looking at something from them. The colors they each chose were fucking *ugly*, but they are distinct

I think that if you hate NYC, you shouldn't live in NYC. I think this is simple.

he's right and he's right to say it

GOOD FUCKIN’ RIDDANCE, Cuomo

plenty of my fellow libposters will say that the mayoral race of new york does not matter nationally, and they are mostly right, but what does matter is that good, charismatic campaigns work, and i would like to see my libposters give some credit to that.

I live in NYC and I don't want to live in a city governed by Cuomo. That's really the thing. I think that my life and that of people I love will be made worse with him as Mayor. Simple.

Very frustrating watching people who will still go out of their way to disavow the idea of taking funding from policing react in disbelief when they, once again, see police operating like an occupying army.

The New York Times has once again gone too far

Shit. I'm in serious trouble now.

LAPD said in the summer of 2020 that they can handle one large protest of 10k but they cannot handle ten protests of 1k. Do with that information accordingly

It is once again almost as though more cops do not in fact make us safer

Not enough personnel to do martial law The secret of American law enforcement is that most people voluntarily follow most laws most of the time If that changes for a significant %, things get overstretched very fast

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)
