Its not discrimination to ban labour members from pride as long as you provide separate accommodation for them so like a pen in a muddy field somewhere far away just make sure you point em to their shame box “politely“

This pride month, to celebrate, help destroy the labour party, all of it, burn it to the ground, even the “good ones“ can get fucked, fuck them all

i’ve adopted really maximal cynicism that purpose of US political news now is re-assuring markets and elites that trump isn’t going to inconvenience them

“It was a bit of an odd experience meeting my alleged co-conspirators for the first time in a courtroom.”

happy pride moth everyone

J Edgar Hoover was a big fan of blaming “outside agitators” for the civil rights movement

And it’s the obvious decision to privilege the emotional safety of some people over the real dangers faced by others *by the very people that are privileged in society* demonstrates how so many people are regularly unhumaned and monstered

Yes! It’s the real-world *causes* of these feelings of anxiety that are the problem because these feelings of anxiety accurately assess the facts: the real, material, concrete, everyday *danger*. Not the imagined fantasies of paranoiacs that have a newspaper column

Starting tomorrow 🙂‍↕️ 🏃🏿🏳️‍🌈

Holding up Mitt Romney, who built his fortune on buying companies and gutting them, as the voice of ethical capitalism is pitch perfect Democratic Party

lol I'm genuinely amazed this Brexit-style "We'll get special treatment and everything we want without ever contributing, actually" argument flies anywhere, nowadays.

Racists 'feel anxious' and have 'sleepless nights'! So do antisemites! Do you think violent misogynists, queer-bashers and anti-trans weirdos with a chip on their shoulder don't feel 'anxious'? I don't give a damn. We should not change society one iota to make them feel comfortable!

This is a deeply unserious and ubiquitous framework in the UK: why focus primarily on the private emotional states of people? Literally who cares? We, as human beings, are obligated to rectify some causes of 'feeling anxious' and 'sleepless nights'; others are: you should stop being a weirdo!

I remember seeing, in 2020, "outside agitator" bs spread from mostly Southern conservatives to Democratic officials as they crushed protests. Highly revealing, and it's just continued since.

sorry ceiling fans not only help COOL but they can also help distribute heating was.... wild. Also that insulation works BOTH WAYS. TO keep heating in and to keep outside heat out.

The number of people from Global south countries and Australia (who hate to be aligned with the US on tiktok) chiming in that a ceiling fan as in fact a normal piece of tech on that post was incredible. Today I read a post from someone in the UK who was surprised to learn that fans

About a year ago I saw a tiktok where some american dude was saying something about being american and some british dude was like yeah we can tell you're american you have a propeller on your ceiling. I don't think the (Western) european hate against cooling tech is studied enough.

God, reading about UK politics is depressing. There is a massive, coordinated media attack on Net Zero, led by the RW press (& accelerated by Musk's X). It is *wildly* out of sync with public opinion, but it is slowly working, convincing even labour MPs that the public is more right than it is.

there we go

He is supportive of it for racist reasons, is a racist, and racism is bad. But put all of that aside and it's also still bad politics because it is world historically unpopular.

People keep making excuses for it but it's just not tenable in the short or long term and it is frankly embarrassing that people take this idea that it is somehow acceptable seriously.

It is simply untenable for the Senate Leader of the Democratic Party to be someone whose number one issue is being unconditionally supportive of a country that >80% of his party's voting base views negatively

More than 80 villages near totally or totally destroyed *after* they were completely emptied of their residents. That is textbook ethnic cleansing. Nothing justifies that. And if we were to take your "retaliation" principle to its logical conclusion, what then can Lebanon do to Israel?

Israel already invaded Lebanon twice, in 1978 and 1982, before Hezbollah was founded. Israel had already been continuously occupying the Gaza Strip for 21 years before Hamas was founded. And putting these things aside, not a single thing Hezb does justifies Israel destroying 80+ Lebanese villages.

this is one of my favorite pictures lately

If you do all this stuff against Liberty University it is actually constitutionally protected free speech in my opinion.

So I think it's high time that we get blunter about the fact that feminists' reflexive pushback on a supposed normalisation of heteropessimism (as Seresin's very essay was!) has in fact been co-opted and weaponised against any and all critiques of the heterosexual regime and patriarchy.

Outside Delaney Hall today.

you would never know one of the largest american cities was occupied by a federal paramilitary just months ago, the way most of our elected democrats tiptoe around ICE

they've taken some hits but the CIA can still undermine a democracy when they really want to

i swear to god they’re cooking this shit up in a lab to make me quit voting

the whole point of the post is that these are demonstrably bad candidates who are *actively harming both the Democratic party brand and actual legislative outcomes*

"will it play in Peoria?" no. but will we lose quality candidates?also no bsky.app/profile/jord...

I know everyone on this web site is focused on the potential harms of Platner but there's troopspy girlbosses torpedoing liberal legislation and gassing ICE protesters in two actual states right now. What if we binned them all? Consider that?

As a representative of The Left™ I hereby propose a deal to everyone who supports Democrats: How about this, no more voting for any troop or spy candidates? What if we settle for being deeply skeptical of them rather than thinking it's a boon?

Can I interest you in a moist owlette as a timeline cleanse? This is Sassafras the Eastern Screech Owl from the Cincinnati Zoo (@cincinnatizoo.bsky.social, but via their FB) and I love him very much. Eastern Screech Owls (Megascops asio) are native to eastern North America.

The world just a decade ago was full of so much possibility that has now been foreclosed upon and we have all but forgotten it

In 2020 I counted how many people ran on the specific hook of "I'm a veteran and a liberal" vs how many won and I think the totals were like 35 candidates, of which like 4 won, and one of them was celebrity astronaut Mike Kelly. The takeaway from that race was "if you want to win be Mark Kelly."

(This is why masculinity is always in crisis, because it's in a perennial state of needing to be 'proved' through ritualistic patriarchal violence against the abject and effeminised. What is 'manly' is often synonymous with what is reactionary.)

it has come to my attention that busytown is anti pig

the souls-like formula in three parts: 1. memorable goofy bullshit — the shortest, simplest learning loop: experienced first as comedy (you reach for the treasure and an imp stabs you in the ass and knocks you off a cliff), then immediately as mastery (next time you dodge)
