Wrote about the very unhelpful convo around gavin newsom. arguing over whether we all will or won't vote for him in the general is just helping him establish himself as the GE candidate. He's not even the leader! we don't need to pretend he is! www.everythingishorrible.net/p/we-can-bea...

Rest in power

I WILL BE DISCUSSING THE STAR TREK TO RAISE FUNDS FOR MUTUAL AID YOU WANT TO BE THERE, YES YOU DO

This is sick Happy New Year!

If you work for a media outlet or podcast or something and you’d like to come and review Blink, let me know 🙂 I’ll pass you along to the producers and they’ll get you set up with press creds! Keen to share the love with some smaller queer outlets 💖

I suppose you could say insisting on the rights of all people, including all trans people, is issuing a "political purity test." But why would you do so, while also ignoring the fact that those who refuse to enter the tent unless you push trans people out are ALSO issuing a political purity test?

Can you imagine a worse way to persuade people that you will fight for them than agreeing to abandon your most vulnerable friends at the slightest provocation from the playground's meanest bully? I can't.

"On February 16, over 100 Cuban artists, intellectuals, dancers, musicians, and writers released a public letter calling on their colleagues from across the world to denounce the US attacks and stand with Cuba."

instead of saying "but you have to vote for him if he wins the nomination" you need to start saying "oh shit we better make sure he doesn't win the nomination" because the answer to the first thing is fuck gavin newsome

People keep saying trans people are overreacting, or that children's sports are not that big a deal. But they're clear that they don't want trans people to exist. Don't try to compromise with fascists.

(checks notes) so it’s actually the exact opposite of what they’re saying… it’s almost like they’re blatantly lying to fear monger

For the average user, routes to the ‘good internet’ are becoming impossible to find - every signpost increasingly camouflaged or buried in jungle of monetising vegetation: “Search” often futile, trustworthy (even untrustworthy) information hidden behind paywalls, “free with ads” now 1/

If "AI" was being built, used, and planned for in responsible ways--the way a civilization designed to enhance human thriving would do--then a lot more people would be enthusiastic about its potential. But the people in charge of defining what AI will be are the fucking worst short-term scumbags.

A broad coalition of organizers in Minneapolis are calling for a week of action

Elana Meyers Taylor signs to her son: "Mommy won." 🥇 #WinterOlympics

Perfect, from a legendary agent. “If you are using AI to write your book, stay out of my fucking inbox.”

Yall talk about Black leftists as if none of them have their own thoughts. As if they all get their talking points from white leftists. It’s fucking weird.

Can we please make sure we keep this in mind when everyone decides to make fun of people concerned about their safety in regard to civil disobedience.

it's a funny thing whenever you hear about 'you aren't big enough a group/you aren't reliable enough voters to care about' because hoo doggy the way the party treats some of their biggest groups and most reliable voters

Here's why I can't support Gavin Newsom ever. Gavin Newsom keeps hanging out and publicly agreeing with the men responsible for shifting the public in favor of killing my community. Death before detransition, and detransition includes ANY detransition. I don't care what the law says.

NEW: Denver’s Auditor says he will not countersign Mayor Johnston’s unilateral contract with Flock that bypassed City Council approval. The Mayor says he doesn’t need the Auditor’s approval. 9NEWS has reported Denver is looking to replace Flock with another company anyway.

Rest in peace. Jesse Jackson did a lot of good work.

“We’re just trying to find the reasonable point between white supremacists and Black people” fuck you and them.

Even without the expanded vocab, English words, with colonial idioms, hit different. There's a Nigerian, Indian, and Kenyan flavor of this dynamic. And that's before we talk about punctuation like the em-dash...

"You can house the homeless or you can have a safe, walkable downtown community." Me:

They also never mention spartan women had more legal rights than most women in the region at that time because someone had to keep things running while the men were off playing war games. Women had to be able to own property, businesses, have legal rights, etc.

Capitalism is so dumb. Nobody can afford to build a computer for the next six to nine months because one CSAM, racism and pollution company cornered the market to prevent the other CSAM, racism, and pollution companies from catching up. No one should be able to do this.

This is an excellent analysis of the rot at the center of some elite academic networks.

WARNING: THE FOG BEARS ARE WHERE YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. I mean, they're in the fog, yes, but THAT'S A LOT OF ACREAGE. Okay, FINE, the fog bears are where you MOST expect it, in the fog. But that will just make you OVERCONFIDENT. Look out for the fog bears, is what I am saying. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

This is—ironically enough—what I am talking about. RW voters who demand their bigotries be accommodated are never "radical" or "throwing a tantrum." No—those are "swing voters" to pursue, even as they fail to show up time & again. The goal here isn't a bigger tent, but to prevent movement leftward.

I loveee us 🤣🤣🤣

That's not a question.

the way i've talked about depression that has helped myself and has helped others is never talking about other stuff as a 'fix'. exercise won't fix it, eating better won't fix it, staying hydrated won't fix it, airing out and dusting your room won't fix it but it makes it *easier*

Being in the Epstein files and not being immediately fired is crazy. People were fired for posting Charlie Kirk quotes verbatim after his death. People were fired for being black women. For saying genocide is wrong.

I just want to point out that people (usually men, lets be fr) in other countries, even wealthy people, people with titles, people in positions of power, people with money are being forced to resign bc of the epstein files Meanwhile in America: the dow is over 50,000 🫠

IDC that RFK snorted cocaine off toliet seats. I'm just angry that he's in a position of massive power and influence and his policies can get people killed. Meanwhile, there's people who will lose decades of their lives behind bars for weed offenses And this is called "justice" and "fairness"

REEL BEFORE ZOD!

We blindly copy Bluesky moderation decisions over to our database under the assumption we'd agree with 99% of their decisions (normal bad things on the internet) For the other 1% you can contact [email protected], we'll take a look at your account. If nothing nefarious we'll unban you on our side

We owe it to these kids to keep fighting for truth to prevail.

This is seriously a confirmation hearing?

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

The Nazi KL were always concentration camps, frequently forced labor camps, and only in their later years extermination campus. We have a chance to prevent ours from becoming the latter two, but it requires recognizing that they're already the first.

IT’S BLACK HISTORY MONTH, AND YOU DONT HAVE THE APP THAT LETS YOU SHOP BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES ON ONE APP? THAT’S LIKE AMAZON, BUT ALL THE BUSINESSES ARE BLACK OWNED? DOWNLOAD MIIRIYA

That there is a media machine trying so hard to Make Him Happen regardless of the flaming tornado of shit swirling around him at all times should be enough to confirm for you without a shadow of a doubt that he cannot be trusted
