This is metal

My take on Trump's address tonight is that he's always won in the past by staying on the attack and refusing to apologise. He didn't defend himself: he proclaimed reality, ignored all arguments to the contrary, and went back to throwing punches. This felt defensive, weak. And maybe a little scared.

Think about this next time you wonder why we don't have a lot of queer elders Ronald Reagan was the fucking devil and so is everyone who follows in his footsteps and emulates his policies and beliefs

Become ungovernable

"Luigi Mangione cannot take a bad picture" is rapidly reaching "mass can neither be created nor destroyed" levels of scientific validity

the digital age has been horrible for recluse-artists because WHAT DO YOU MEAN we have to MARKET OURSELVES? bring back the old days where we just live in a weird cave & a strange patron pays for all of our art.

This is amazingly my review of the new Knives Out movie Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

if Trump reschedules pot and all of America becomes California Circa 2013 in terms of medical weed i will call this the greatest own goal in the history of Democratic Politics

"The world is not going to change itself. That is up to you, especially in desperate times like this."

The President of the United States just called the Chairman of the Federal Reserve a "deadhead fed hair" and no one in the room had any f*cking clue what he was talking about or whether he just had a stroke

Fascisms advance has always been due to weaponized unreality and coordinated cognitive attacks at scale It’s franchise fascism anywhere they need or want to take power they set up a franchise and expand into all cognitive markets.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

if elected president i promise to be just as corrupt as our current leadership, perhaps even moreso. but I will also reinvest the entire defense and policing budgets into creating what i call The Health Cigarette

Des was arrested and accused of moving anarchist zines from one place to another and needs our help.

Y'all should be following Assigned. Probably the best trans-centric journalism org in the game today. Go ahead and follow @evanurquhart.bsky.social too while you're at it.

Damn when she's right she's right

An unlikely suspect went on rampage in the Virginia ABC liquor store in Ashland. The poor thing was found passed out in the bathroom.

Being a pervert is like catnip for perverts

Not for the first time, there is functionally no difference, in the impact on our lives, between an organization that cuts off trans healthcare due to open bigotry and one that does so while hand-wringing about how hard a choice it is. What matters is that trans people still aren't getting care.

An experienced organizer I really respect once reminded folks "you can't always win, but you can always, always inflict a cost. Those add up."

Every minute they have to respond to your disruptions costs them money. Every hour someone has to work on anticipating your protests or responding to your interviews or press releases costs them money. Every guard they have to hire for their galas and events hurts their bottom line. Sting them.

a dreamworld where the epstein files discourse actually changes the quality of life for all young women, girls, boys & queer survivors. a dreamworld where we finally strike down all the old predators & everyone has equal access to an education, fair pay and a life without sexual exploitation.

idk who needs to hear this, but if you're assaulting or trying to kill a human rights journalist, you are the bad guy.

The sled began to move down the hill. “Here we go!” said Frog.

so I just cooked my first beef bourgignon and due to the bottle of merlot I poured into the slow cooker I am now slightly tipsy for the first time in years of being otherwise sober from alcohol in the recreational sense. This is not falling off the wagon IMO just an unfortunate side effect.

Weather it’s Joe Biden pardoning kids who were caught with a couple ounces of weed or Donald Trump pardoning the Honduran president who smuggled in 400 tons of cocaine, both presidents were soft on drugs.

There might be no better example of the war coming home than a CIA trained teen death squad recruit getting asylum in the US and then shooting a bunch of soldiers who were deployed to DC for no reason other than Kabuki Security Theater

Activist Harvey Milk was one of the first openly-gay elected officials in the United States. Harvey Milk knew that the chances of him being assassinated were high. He recorded a tape that was to be played only after his death by assassination. This is that recording. youtu.be/CVb9nt8huMY?...

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

shoutout to all my fellow queers for whom family of origin sucks around holidays (and those of us who are still working on finding that found family). everything is pretty bad right now but being queer is still fucking amazing and you are amazing and not alone and i love you and am grateful for you

If any of the allegations are true, Nuzzi covering for RFK Jr. directly played a role in the gutting of America's public health infrastructure, the defenestrating of the CDC and the promotion of the lie that vaccines causing autism.

some men are born great, others have greatness thrust upon them by a team of Mattel's most rabid lawyers

My friends and I were featured in Wired magazine today! (cc @tacticoolgf.bsky.social @picatinnyrailed.bsky.social @inrange.tv etc etc) www.wired.com/story/the-ha...

Not for the first time, a pretty solid summary of liberalism otg is "Of course everyone has rights!* **" * "Terms and conditions may apply" ** "Sometimes fatally."

Mamdani turned his haters into waiters at the table of success

The average person is so much more conspiracy-pilled than like 4 or 5 years ago It’s deeply disturbing

While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months. All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.

This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

MTG is resigning from Congress because she has agreed to be my business partner in a cart selling the world's first alcoholic hot dogs

completely outside of politics, this is so charming

shooting yourself in the nuts is one of the most patriotic things you can do

lol it's real

i want to grow old with my trans friends

So damn good.

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.
