Happy fifth anniversary of @hbomberguy.bsky.social 's Vaccine video

Fox reporter to protester: You have a dirty mouth Protester: You are a Nazi bitch

Lizard NPC that gives you a surprisingly helpful tip

Help us protect ourselves from what is coming. We need your time, skills, donations, and investments. We need you to support in the capacity you can - even if that is just sharing posts about @essehouse.bsky.social activities and initiatives.

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

We're rescheduling it takes two tonight due to the weather messing up my stream

Like Brad Lander actually yelled *at* the ICE agents, not the crowd of people they were theeatening. People loved when he did it, facing the correct direction and identifying which group of people are the violent ones. Important fucking skill.

I can't give a single fuck about this dude getting pepper sprayed if he thought frantically trying to calm down a guy with a camera, and not the large group of guys with guns and qualified immunity, was deescalating. Figure that shit out my dude.

Turning your back on heavily armed domestic abusers with Nazi tattoos to yell at the crowd protesting them: man you have had literally decades to figure out which side is the side that escalates.

Can't help but notice he was facing the wrong direction, you usually want to deescalate toward the people who are *escalating*. The people who want to pepper spray you in the face, those are the people who you want to try to deescalate.

Pedocon theory out here explaining presidential endorsements in the Texas Senate race.

Democrats CANNOT WIN by conceding ground to Republicans. Nobody wants to vote for Diet Republicans. Not even republicans. They will vote for the full-hate Republicans every time.

She promised to continue to dodge the law to keep supporting Israel, just like Joe Biden did, which legitimized Trump’s support for Israel’s genocide She promised that she would abide by anti-trans laws that Republicans made that are harming trans children, which legitimized Trump’s anti-trans hate

Once again, the reason Kamala Harris lost is because she ran on a campaign of supporting Trump’s policies. She promised to be harder on immigration than Trump, which legitimized him and ICE. She ran on “most lethal military in the world” rhetoric, which legitimized Trump’s illegal wars.

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

And they fucking talk about the need for “guidance” with such breathless urgency, as if this is a crisis, when trans people simply have never been a problem for anybody except a small group of genital-obsessed toilet police. Said bigots HAVE attacked people in bathrooms but nobody’s banning them.

Saying it’s up to “common sense” to determine which bathroom a trans person can use is fucking pathetic. They want plausible deniability for the violence they’re unofficially greenlighting. That *is* what they’re doing, too. We’ve seen how transphobes take such “guidance” as permission to hurt us.

I fucking despise the UK government’s use of the word “guidance” in its repeated attacks on our safety. They know exactly how evil they’d look if they explicitly stated the end goal out loud. They want to ban us but don’t want to own it, so they’re just normalizing the idea of banning us.

Nah. Not only has Britain eagerly led the charge in our cultural genocide, the cowardly way they call it “guidance” and couch it in faux concern for trans peoples’ safety is a uniquely British insult. All of the hate, none of the ownership. This is the policy you are seeing in Starmer’s Britain.

What really gets to me is that everyone's like "wow bad orange mango man sure botched this war," when everyone with a speck of cognizance about wargaming or geopolitical history has been saying that attacking Iran would be fucking stupid and disastrous basically since the planes hit the towers.

Then they're not "swing" voters, they're just Republicans

The secret true ending of StarFox 64!

okay lol i'll write one

every day, disabled people live under threat from people who want them dead, and people do not talk about it nearly enough.

I love how he must have been told "go like that with your fingers" and he didn't realise he was meant to be holding the nail, not just making a strange sign for good luck or something. It's like a human form of AI, being shown something and not quite understanding what or why you are being shown

Scott Cawthon giving thousands of dollars to Mitch McConnell was worse than anything Gooseworx ever did at the end of the day.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Am I a fan of where Digital Circus is going with Jax? No. Am I going to think the finale is flawless? Probably not. Do I think Gooseworx should get harassed to the point she avoids social media entirely because of this? No, you fucking psychopath.

It would be bad enough if this was all she voted for, but the bill literally also has a provision to strip school funding from any school that has books with trans characters, has policies protecting trans students, performs shakespeare’s 12th night, or even has a trans teacher.

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

Stardew Valley inventory: the musical

I am going to make an absolutist statement that I believe is about as close to infallibly true as you can get in our complicated world: As a worker, no one who is urging you not to unionize has your individual best interests at heart.

They cancelled The Tick but let The Boys keep going.

You should watch the Tick cartoon. It's like the Boys but if it was actually funny

Have you done it, @sarahowen.org.uk How did it feel? Like you were both-sides-ing bigotry? Weird that. Probably coincidence, right?

well, you can't, that's just fucking nonsense

Replace trans with any of the other protected characteristics and read it aloud to yourself, Sarah 👀

Can you expand on this point? I’d love to learn what you consider an ethical way to exclude a marginalized person and deprive them of support.

I told you, over and over and over, that Bungie would do this after Marathon launch, that they laid off hundreds who suffered through a death march of crunch to launch TFS, that they cannot be trusted, that no amount of success will ever be enough, but everyone just forgot because green font robots

Black folks been peacefully marching for decades No reparations White folks attack the capitol Get reparations What should black folks learn from this?

Tangentially related but I still get a laugh out of this picture from when Little Witch in the woods decided to delay their release date because of silk song.

Ever fucking green

The bigger challenge is we have a handful of sociopaths who can circumvent and undermine democracy. We have no bigger challenge.
