It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

not true

“Did the Nazis ask the Jews to leave” YES

Destroy car dealerships and you save US democracy

This would be a good time to accept you're not always gonna like the other trannies or if you do, you don't understand them, or if you do, you might not agree with them - and then just fucking link arms anyway. I guess I'm only talking to people who can still see me, but do you feel what I mean?

Weird how this keeps happening.

Great review!

NO ONE CAN STOP MR. DOMINO ARTDINK CORP 1998 PLAYSTATION

Every major outlet bent the knee today, giving wall-to-wall coverage to Kirk's funeral like it was state decree. This is how propaganda works: normalize the fascist, erase the truth. Don't let them gaslight you. Find independent journalism and fight back.

Whenever sites come up with new rules like this I thing about how if you were a creator who was making something every bit on the level with a hugely popular and acclaimed series, would you be allowed to share it? Like, if you were sitting on the next Game of Thrones, you couldn’t share that here.

Bad thoughts don't happen when you don't write bad words. Bad things don't happen when you don't draw the bad pictures. When you don't say them out loud, the bad thoughts aren't real. Bad actions didn't happen if nobody can describe them. And it has a kind of cruel, ruthless pragmatism if you live.

*With no negative ramifications for you.* It’s not like “oh we have to sacrifice but it’s worth it to make America a better place”—it would be, but we’re not even there yet. We’re still in the days of “we could have UBI and universal healthcare today and it would cost nothing and harm no one.”

the best way to reduce abuse for sex workers would be free housing and probably UBI. the people who are most vulnerable are generally survival sex workers who trade sex for shelter or food.

what can i say? i’m good at what i do

Obama on Charlie Kirk:

hire me to tripsit your corporate ayahuasca retreat my DMs are open

Here's @nberlat.bsky.social 's piece below. Something I would add: Republicans have not been afraid to take major risks for major reward. Blocking Garland was a BIG risk. Blocking Biden's immigration bill was also a risk. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/demand-the...

We wanted robots to pick packages, controlled by a human operator that tells them where to go. What we got was people who pick packages, directed by an algorithm.

you will never be amenable enough to the demands of a fascist tantrum to make it stop without selling your soul and becoming a fascist yourself. there is no amount of compliance that is acceptable short of absolute indoctrination. the more you bend, the more they push you down. stop helping them!

It is legitimately ridiculous how critics did not at least APPRECIATE Speed Racer. I get if the vibes don’t connect for you but it absolutely achieved what it set out to achieve in ways that only a handful of movie adaptations have ever been able to do.

absolutely do not put your name on a fucking list. do not put your name on a list! good fucking god. do not put your name on a list.

You should be talking about your posture and risk mitigation inside of the legal protections of an attorney-client relationship. What we do is important, that's why Vance and Miller are trying to stop us.

I've read a good bit about fascism so I won't say I'm necessarily surprised, but for sure one of the most disturbing/disorienting/frightening things right now is the way that people and institutions are just falling over themselves to collaborate. 1

I have not seen a more serious threat to free speech in America in my lifetime than the crackdown on people making fun of Charlie Kirk. It's blatant, openly endorsed and driven by the state, and nearly universal. Truly chilling stuff.

hi, cis folks! the WSJ endangered trans lives with false reporting yesterday. it’s still accepted as truth by many, regardless of it being false. the article’s still up with a little note. it needs full retraction. it's not even a phone call—it's email. you can do this. contact info below.🧵⬇️

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper" anyways, great news! (1/X)

Great list of bullshit excuses. I would simply not burn fossil fuels if I had the choice, and the reason I don’t have a choice is fossil fuel companies lobbying.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

Wonderful admission from the cops that non violent action is effective and really really makes them sad.

Pritzker should mobilize the Illinois National Guard to oppose them. Extreme? Maybe. But I don’t see why he should just let another state effectively invade his.

It’s a sign of AI only because AI is plagiarizing good writers.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

@danctheduck.bsky.social hey I’m on my way to #PAXwest, let me know if you’ll be in the neighborhood!

Someone should do an hour long YouTube video about how every NES game drifts naturally toward a Giger-esque aesthetic, like carcinization

This is the reason why I’ve always rolled my eyes at Roko’s Basilisk, and I think it says something that so many of the people who are all in on this are also all in on that particular thought experiment.

Made it in time for #paxwest but not QUITE before my fellow community managers got booted out of the bar they were drinking in. Now have to find other people to hang out with!

The Democratic Party has been running the exact same playbook every four years since they got Clinton elected in 1993. That’s the year my wife was born, and we have two kids.

We will be jettisoning trans rights from the Dem Party platform over my room-temperature fucking corpse. We are leaving no one behind, and fuck anyone who thinks otherwise. A core tenet of American identity is that we, not the government, define ourselves. All of us get protections or none of us do

I think one thing that often gets lost in the mix around mass shootings is that most people are ideologically incoherent and that includes the people who carry out a lot of mass shootings. Edgy, nihilistic, irony-poisoned Internet brain is an incredibly dangerous thing.

I’m gonna need weeks to fucking recover from this thought experiment

Anyone cool going to be hanging out at PAX this weekend?

Just a reminder that Newsom could have done this for Los Angeles at any time and chose not to. Fuck him forever.
