Please don't scold people for being shocked at the depravity of people in power. Yeah it's not new, but shock isn't a sign of naiveté, it's a sign that one still has a conscience. You can have long known what power does & still be shocked when elite rapists protect each other, or ice shoots people.

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

It's so funny to see conservatives posting on Bluesky, like bro who do you even know here

Everybody complains that in Star Wars or Marvel or whatever the galaxy is too small and all the same people are at the center of everything and it's too unrealistic and now the Epstein files are like "Asshole Avengers Assemble"

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

i feel like one thing that we should be making abundantly clear from now on is that the majority of anti-trans consent manufacturers are goddamn pedophiles. are you going to believe what a bunch of pedophiles say about us? what does that say about you?

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Fuck my diet (not that I actually had a good one). I can barely cope, if I want to eat half a bag of marshmallows for dinner, fuck it, I'm going to. I'm going to take what little comfort I can find wherever I can get it. This has been a fucking day, week, month year, and it's still January.

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

These are the tactics of the abuser. "You made me do this" while you hit them doesn't make it better. Saying you were crying while you yelled "stop resisting" and beat unarmed people doesn't absolve anyone.

The "graphic design is my passion" joke is obvious, but I wonder if this was actually done on purpose. The marketing for the movie REALLY wanted to push it as the younger, hipper, and yes sexier Godzilla. 🤔

A long Facebook post from years ago talking about how much it sucks to be Harriet Winslow.

I said it already, but their mistake is the assumption that it's the first time she's been assaulted. They're never going to understand that she reacted the way she did because she knows how strong she has to be.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

if they can offer free AI training they could offer free media literacy training too. i know which of those would do more for the public good

found an alternative to TikTok called Reading A GD Comic Book

The cartoony romance covers might have gone too far

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

I don’t need to buy a toy to feel happy or appease my neurodivergent mind I want to buy a toy to remind myself that living isn’t about work, paying bills and enjoying myself

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Conservative bewildered by the idea of people believing in a cause.

undocumented presence is a misdemeanor Donald Trump was convicted of thirty four felonies

I love that this guy proceeds to explain his takes and it all boils down to "I don't like to read and also I don't engage with other humans about books"

You can’t waste time on a hobby. If you love it, it’s not wasted time. Shelves are shelves. Put anything you like to on a he shelves. Such as books. Books make great gifts. Everybody knows that.

More to the point, guys like Ross *lead the training*. Training can't fix anything because the rot is in the trainers too!

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer. The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem. Abolish ICE.

TIL I’m general striking every day

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

Judge Dredd is a PARODY, you psychopathic fuckstick!

utopia looks like a homogenous sea of perfectly interchangeable bisexual economic units with vaguely tan skin color living under one interplanetary bureaucracy and i'm barely joking

“Read theory” do you think that our landlords care about what books you’ve read? “Read theory” do you think that the grocery store accepts book club membership as currency? “Read theory” do you think we can flash a copy of Marx at the doctor’s office?

This is quite literally one of the stupidest human beings alive

People magazine stating things so plainly and accurately in their headlines reeeeeeally underscores the failures of many other news outlets.

Maybe superheroes fight giant monsters now because we can't ever see them fighting the systems of oppression.

This dumb couchfucking bastard thinks an Amy Grant song he misremembered is what happened to the Titanic, so he went on stage and was accidentally honest that the ship is sinking.

Incapable of understanding how "abolish ICE" was silly but arresting 5 year olds is public policy

They're not going to drum up votes against funding ICE, but also they want people to not escalate situations that ICE is constantly escalating (and will have more funding for), but also they want the opposition to ICE (which will have more funding) to go away. Political consultants are a cancer.
