You either have to be so truly stupid or believe that your readers are to still be doing this shit at this point

Once when canvassing I asked a voter his #1 concern and it was "yard sales are not enforcing sales tax"

“If you’re watching television and the words ‘woke and weaponized’ come out of a politician’s mouth, you can know that this is coming ... from the strategies we’re putting out,” Russ Vought boasted in a recording obtained by @propublica.org

If we make it illegal to steal paintings from the Louvre then the entire industry will be unsustainable

:(

Y’all, I know a lot of “liberal wine moms” who are pissed af, volunteering for ICE rapid response teams, yelling at cops, speaking at local govt meetings, etc. What I also see a lot of is their white husbands, quiet af and sitting on their asses and watching sports. Maybe we could redirect our ire

The misogyny never stops The excuse of couching it in politics has made some people (white men) waaaay too comfortable on this particular topic

I'm a broken record about it but I will never forget that two weeks where the dems stumbled into the winning message of "these guys are weird. They're weird freaks who just can't be normal about other people and will never leave them alone" and then we're ordered by biden to stop

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

Highly recommend: throwing any and all creatives a DM/comment/email to let them know how their work touched you, whether now or in the past. I never expect a reply. But doing this regularly not only helps others see their art is valued, but improves your own confidence & connection.

“let’s speculate on Ea-Nasir’s vibes” is the best Extremely Online parlor game I can imagine

I wasn’t exaggerating it rules so hard

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack. This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

Behind the gate.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

I am telling you EVERYONE in Alabama is texting about the 3 cops in Fairhope tackling the woman in the enormous inflatable dick costume. EVERYONE.

no kings includes shaun king

lots of good suggestions in this thread!

disabled people have to demand access, inclusion and friendship and connection, and this can be, and definitely is exhausting. I don't want to demand anything. I want it to be made available to me because I deserve it. Demanding is so tiring.

Listen, over 300+ people showed up for a No Kings protest in ANGOLA, INDIANA. There is a whole part of Indiana waiting to be activated. We have never been all red. So what are we going to do with that information? I wish I could say. But I have Hope.

CHOTINER: So you're attending a No Kings protest today. ME: That's right. CHOTINER: But according to Steam, you've played over 450 hours of Crusader Kings 3. ME: Okay, well- Now hold on. That's sort of unfair. CHOTINER: Oh? ME: Sometimes I play as a duke or a count. CHOTINER: I see.

Brb just writing a screenplay about a struggling inflatable costume factory in a wholesome but dying American small town that unexpectedly helps save democracy, and democracy saves it right back.

A perfect explanation of "Defund the police" in a little tiny graphic. Pass it on.

For Tolkien fans, a timely passage for No Kings Eve, from WH Auden’s review of Lord of the Rings.

I think this is a pretty lukewarm take but it’s instructive: ME2 has the better narrative design; ME1 has the better writing.

I actually think it's extremely good and healthy to experience art that makes you uncomfortable. discomfort is not equivalent to real, tangible harm. at the very least y'all should recognize uncomfortable art's right to exist, and to carry on with your life without making it everyone else's problem.

Not only that. they NEED your attention. Deprive them of it and keep it moving.

when you're desperate and dying and your community is in crisis, there is often no one clear path forward. no one can predict the future or know what'll stick. the important thing is to find an affinity group - people who you share values with - and take action together.

I think a lot about ACT UP. The brilliance of that organization was that anyone could work on any action they wanted. If you didn't agree with that action or didn't want to be part of it, you didn't work on it. You put your energy where you thought it was useful. Everyone just trying shit.

Wolverine Origins where everything is the same except Weapon XI uses a Hatsune Miku talkloid as an accessibility aid #weaponxixweek #originswadewilson

There’s no reason why healthcare couldn’t function like K-12 education. A minority of the population needs it the most at any one time, but everyone needs it at some point, and we all benefit from our neighbors having access to it. Instead we’re trying to make education as inaccessible as healthcare

Why I really wish we’d move past “Medicare for All.” We should not have an insurance-based system for accessing healthcare at all, actually. Working in mental health has made this abundantly clear.

This should be the compromise position. The radical position is abolish the state and all these systems and money itself.

“But doctors wouldn’t work for teachers’ wages!” Teachers shouldn’t work for teachers’ wages. They e should pay teachers better, and we easily could, we’ve just chosen to privatize everything and create a permanent and ever-growing underclass instead of taxing the rich

Welcome to XIX Week! This event celebrates fandom’s most despised meow-meow: Weapon XI! For fifteen years we’ve been quietly pretending Origins doesn’t have a third act. It’s finally his time to shine! Posting starts Nov. 11th. Get your special sock out, nerds. #weaponxixweek #originspoolverine

“rich people hate me” is maybe the strongest endorsement

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

Go back and read what we said AT THE TIME when the body cam push was being uplifted as THE key "reform." Every single thing we predicted happened.

South Korea pushed AI hard in schools. The national program was aborted within months, following massive pushback from students, parents and teachers, after a fortune had already been spent by both the government and education publishers restofworld.org/2025/south-k...

Kyutoki-kun, a laid back water heater, is the mascot for Kinliser, who do water heating equipment. The kettle is called Yukan-kun.
