It was conceived out of panic and hatred. Does no one remember the Patriot Act? How the hell do you think we got here?

Additionally:

[after getting thrown out of your friend's dinner party for saying stupid shit and pissing everyone off] the problem is that you people want to be ensconced in a bubble,

It only seems like a catch all insult in England because every English public figure turned out to be a nonce

Seems like we’re heading toward something like the status quo ante but Iran controls Hormuz and we talk about nuclear stuff with no resolution. The US seems (publicly) unwilling to engage in the difference between free travel through Hormuz and opening Hormuz under the jurisdiction of Iran

I do not post to be part of a political project or engage in the town square. I post so people will tell me I’m funny and pretty

Massive skill issue to come to the site where we make IRL friends and experience only “distanced engagement”

hormones don’t have to be a commitment if they don’t feel right. you can try & see how they feel—without irreversible changes for a while. but for me, in a week, i was like, “this is what it feels like to be normal again? why do i deserve less than than the normalcy others get to take for granted?”

what’s this? A new fixation? For me?

The White House Ballroom is a bribery fund. They could have requested funding for a security renovation including “hosting facilities” and congress would have passed it as a show of loyalty but the admin *wants* the chaos of no process or oversight

I am utterly incapable of talking about Juniper Blessing so read @victoriascott.bsky.social if you want to know how I feel

Today @victoriascott.bsky.social writes about Juniper Blessing, a University of Washington student who was murdered last week, and worries about the potential loss of a better future for young trans people she had always hoped was coming. www.welcometohellworld.com/this-pain-ha...

Call it incompetence, sure—better to call it deception at this point. Not a big leap from this to conclude that the party simply didn't want any spotlights digging around the consultant class and the over $1 billion spent, and they miffed this intentionally to protect their lucrative contracts.

A possibly bigger issue is that “move to the left” v “move to the center” isn’t a parallel construction. One moves toward a party identity while the other moves toward a theoretical unrepresented ideal of centrism. The question should be “move to the left” or “move to the right”

the thing about worldbuilding in a narrative is that you can't frontload it. that's the issue. that's the whole issue. you drip feed context over time, usually through dialogue, connect a thread here and there. normal people aren't walking wikipedia articles — but maybe an autistic baddie comes up!

Worst (venue fault): Presidents of the United States of America during a Mariners game over stadium speakers Worst (band fault): Modest Mouse 4 times Honorable Mention: The Living End played an entire (otherwise good) show facing away from the crowd (Australian culture???)

Do I know any Rotten Tomatoes certified critics who want to review Again Again? 👉👈 We only need a few more reviews before they give us an RT score 👀

Trump writes like a person who doesn’t have to know what words mean. I’ve known a wealthy company owner who regularly used the wrong terms for things but never knew it because the people around him would just figure out what he meant

"Your post was classified as a Serious Violation, adding 4 strikes to your account. You now have 14 total strikes." im sorry but that is completely counterintuitive to what ppl think of when they hear the word "strike"

The fact that Xavier Becerra is a serious candidate for public office is a testament to that lack of understanding. Becerra presided over 800K American COVID deaths as HHS secretary. I don’t care how much you like him, any way you slice it, that’s a catastrophe, and he bears responsibility.

I like that the diamond industry’s new thing is saying natural diamonds are super old, which does technically distinguish them from lab grown diamonds but doesn’t really distinguish them from a random rock
