Richard Dawkins is like an evil stereotype of all the worst parts of the 2000s-2010s new atheists

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

yearning is like a personal hell constructed from nothing but our own desires and insecurities, how despairing that I find myself in such a state

look, unlike in [herrenvolk state propped up by extreme violence] where [subordinate ethnic group] is unfairly oppressed, [my subordinate ethnic group] in [my herrenvolk state propped up by extreme violence] really are subhumans who need to be kept in check by the gun.

ah yes, bay leaves I’m sure they’ll do something

you fuck over my country, i'm sure as hell going to wish hell on your Republican voters

Research conducted by @transjournalists.org “identified 43 outlets including the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and The Daily Beast running with the disproven stories of a ‘trans shooter’ and ‘trans bullets.’”

20% turnout methinks 5 off year elections with 4 of them happening all at once was a bad idea

T-minus 35 minutes until a political nuclear bomb drops in AZ

breaking from me: the trump administration just suffered its first major loss in court over its onslaught on offshore wind the revolution wind project can now resume construction after a federal judge found its developer orsted was likely to win against the trump order to stop work @heatmap.news

what do I even fucking do as a trans person

AI is cooking the internet man look at this there are just a bunch of accs posting nonsense getting recommended before actual policy lectures on youtube

HAVE WE LOST OUR FUCKING MINDS $100k??!??

the best way I can describe the state of elite punditry at this moment is that it's one big podcast and you ain't in it

Say Happy 50th Birthday to Sun Tran everyone!!! We love buses in Tucson

Kathy Hochul you may still be reincarnated as a lotus flower

signed up to be an official DSA member today lol, well overdue I was already volunteering for their public power campaign and am on a first name basis with some of the chapter chairs

"trans people are causing shootings" lie does several things for the right: It furthers demonization of a minority whose existence violates the gender hierarchy in their eyes. Their ability to racialize gun violence is weakened when shooters are white, this allows them to deflect to another group

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

TV comedy shows in America:

Netanyahu is committing war crimes in Gaza—leveling cities, starving children, blocking food and medicine. I commend the brave mission of the Global Sumud Flotilla and every effort to get lifesaving aid into Gaza.

average US hospital gets most funding from a single patient factoid is a statistical error. Average US hospital gets most funding from Medicaid/care. ICU Bolsonaro, who lives in Florida and spends $1,000,000 on hospitals every second is an outlier and should not have been counted

this took so fucking long but I really hope it’s at least somewhat insightful

I have finally written a new article, took much longer than I wish but I hope you find it interesting timesanddiscourse.substack.com/p/draft-toug...

Charlie Kirk was a notorious antisemite. Kirk said "Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them...the philosophical foundation of anti-whiteness has been largely financed by Jewish donors in the country.”

State politicians and police union calling for resignation, militia protest tomorrow, all because a council person had a reasonable reaction to a vicious man’s death

they’re having a Kirk memorial rally in my city tomorrow bruh

“The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries”: holy shit, Korean opinion leaders are *mad* mad!

Yes but then again: Jim Crow was a minstrel character, California was named for a mythical island in a hit book, Lenin took the title of his breakthrough pamphlet from a polyamorous romance novel, and the American revolutionaries couldn’t stop quoting and stealing lines from a 1713 play about Cato

blood libel

Tried Michelin star tacos today, very very good, had some of the best sear/texture I’ve tried

It’s a huge coincidence that Medvedev is aghast at the death of Charlie Kirk who also was one of the most prominent mainstream homophobes of a generation. Total coincidence that Russia gave millions of dollars to right wing podcasters to stoke racial animus & transphobia

online right is attacking a Tucson city council member over their insta posts on Charlie Kirk atm

kinda insane how many Americans are like “I remember when cities were safer back in my day” and the city back in their day was literally this

Nancy Mace in the span of 10 minutes: - called for the shooter to be executed - said we should pray for him because it’s what Kirk would have wanted - said that if the shooter and Kirk had a conversation the shooter would’ve changed his mind

Holy shit bro

I’ve been thinking a lot about the antebellum to Reconstruction era civic opposition to slavery and groups like the wide Awakes and anti-man hunting league because we need to fight ICE with the same fury as we fought slave catchers back then

Times like this it sure would be nice if we hadn’t rerouted most of the ATF to the crucial missions of enslaving Salvadoran men and kidnapping Guatemalan children

Obviously, there's bigger news happening right now, but Senate Republicans just voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every Democrat voted to release them. Susan Collins was the deciding vote to protect Trump and others named in the files.

it genuinely pisses me off that tomorrow flags will be half mast until the sunday but not for the 9/11 victims

Something a lot of people miss when talking about anti-vaxxers is that they’re not just misinformed, they believe so strongly in opposing vaccines because they buy into either ableism, misogyny, or the concept of their children as property

In light of recent Supreme Court rulings it is a good time to remember our history

its a lonely fight disliking homeowners but its a righteous one

Exactly. If I’m driving a car I’ll show a drivers license. If I’m buying liquor I’ll prove my age. If I’m walking down the street? The Stasi does not need my papers

Oh my fucking God
