Not a bad way to spend the afternoon

Some r asking why I’m giving liberals a hard time for climate inaction because “at least they believe the science.” Inaction is still inaction. Believing the science but not heeding it is actually worse. Dem Presidents wouldn’t even declare climate emergency or even give a climate speech. Why?

With a dozen crazy events like this now happening every day I almost admire the discipline it takes for corp news & white liberals to still, even as we cross 1.5C warming, pretend we’re not in a real time global emergency.

There's an impeachment resolution against this guy in the House but it's not being talked about very much because "This lunatic is trying to kill your children" isn't a compelling enough political message I guess

The cis people not standing between them and trans people are not my friends and never will be. You don't just owe them your acceptance, you owe them your support and love, and we see your silence and won't forgive you.

The word gatekeepers here is really telling. Actual creatives know gatekeepers are the executives and publishers and techbros standing between you and your audience. Rando billionaires think people who are more creative than them are gatekeepers.

I literally do not want a DIME of taxpayer money building a billionaire's stadium until every kid in Illinois has three tasty and nutritious meals, comprehensive health care, a great school, and a safe and secure place to live.

to cheer you up, here's Patrick Warburton and his sons (two of which may actually be clones???) doing Kronk lines

Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."

Wants power for power's sake? Right wing? Gets by on looks? Yeah, Gavin. We KNOW you worship Reagan. It is flabbergasting that this guy has support

The purpose of blaming any and every tragedy on trans people is convincing each other "wouldn't life be so much better if we just got rid of all the trans people"

Your terms are acceptable

I urge every dimwit and lowbrow who lectured 'the left' on how our Good and Righteous Troops would NEVER do this to stick their heads in the nearest toilet and flush

Cis people genuinely cannot fathom how near-guaranteed sexual assault is for us in those places. Like it breaks their brains when you tell them the stats - they can't even conceptualize the reality that these jails and psych institutions are genuinely just sexual assault factories

Whew. Can you imagine this same therapist giving the same answer about someone who wanted to teach someone else’s kid about being gay?

This letter from a religious woman who is salty her DIL is an atheist, seems to think DIL is the only reason her grandchild is being raised without religion, and wants to impose her faith on her grandchild, is an excellent representation of MILs being a problem. (Screenshots cont'd in thread)

Also, like, aside from feeling violated, doesn't this just highlight how freakish people can be with regards to media. Just LIKE A THING you fucking loser. You don't have to be friends with the characters. Just LIKE IT. Touch grass you pathetic dipshits.

AI imagery is the equivalent of Plato’s prisoner being bored of sunlight, clambering down into a cave, shackling himself to a rock to watch shadows cast by firelight and forgetting that the world above exists.

Bullying this guy off Bluesky was a community service

I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

The reference and the pixelart

I think it's funny how each party has a separate group of economy wonks who hate each other but all wind up unanimously saying that things are Great Actually and poor people are just too stupid and irresponsible to realize that.

I am 100% opposed to these laws because in all cases they are used to pressure disabled people to die. Because that's cheaper than providing the supports they need to live. It happens in Canada with MAID, it happens in Oregon, it will happen in Illinois.

This is the sort of shit people mean when they say the two parties are the same

Chuck Schumer agrees with Trump on forcing regime change in Venezuela and Hakeem Jeffries applauds Trump for securing the border. These two belong in the other party, not leading the opposition party.

Stop printing lies in the newspaper. There need to be consequences for printing lies in the newspaper. He literally says and believes exactly this, several times per day and on camera.

[Guy whose dick fell off because there's a girl in star wars] I would probably do well in a civil war

Hey, why are some of you following this ai apologist?

Once again thinking about the time on Twitter where some guy was complaining about how a morning show don’t have any white people on it and I posted a picture of the morning show and it had 4 white people and one black person and the guy said “yeah but they wish they could fire the 4 white people”

*screaming"

Absolutely grotesque. Ever think how humanity had potential for such greatness and we all careened right into a dystopia anyway? Media lavishly priasing the greedy for pushing absolute slop as an excuse to exploit others even more. Just... grotesque

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

People who tell you to vote for the "lesser evil" are never on the receiving end of whatever evil is left over.

Almost started a fight with my mom over which of them is hotter. (It's Newman)

Newsom also wrote the amicus brief urging SCOTUS to hear and overturn Grants Pass last year, which was the last flimsy constitutional protection that homeless people had. Newsom’s argument was cited in Gorsuch’s majority opinion

they've decided that stopping climate disaster isn't possible so they're jus no longer gonna report on it. it's basically how they 'dealt' with covid. just stop talking about it. pretend it doesn't exist.

If you are accused of something awful, and the punishment is homelessness or a cage, and you don't have a defense, and the accusation is enough to satisfy society you deserve everything done to you, no one who can be put in your position has any rights at all worth a damn.

If nothing else, hopefully this era will show a lot of people why copaganda is so dangerous and why due process and defense attorneys are so important so long as the carceral state and eviction industrial complex exist.

I cannot stress emphatically enough, nor with sufficient regularity, that you're gonna have to leave corporate media behind. You are the means to its ends, and its ends are hostile to you and your way of life.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

👇No lie detected

It is genuinely insane how the opposition party does not want Trump to be removed from office.

I know it’s very popular at the moment but I think “enshittification” is insufficient a term for what’s happening right now. This is not a gradual diminishing, it is a leap off a cliff, it’s a system in free fall.

The it’s-not-that-deepification of society is a byproduct of mass functional illiteracy.

We don't need a Dem candidate who sides with the billionaires. We just don't. And I guarantee y'all that if you nominate this guy you will live to regret it. He's also got a habit of vetoing really good bills because the billionaires don't like them. We can do better.

End stage capitalism sure is something

You have the choice to sacrifice trans people. Perhaps it will save you. But you don't get to ask trans people to accept the role as sacrifice. You cannot expect understanding, acceptance, forgiveness, or respect. You made your choice.
