Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller April 21,1966

This framing is how you normalize rape culture. Fucking embarrassing.

my bank expects a more intimate relationship with me than I am willing to give

there's an ideological reason modern fascists have attacked trans rights so hard (their pathologies about gender) but there's also a pragmatic one: they're the minority centrists & establishment liberals have shown the most willingness (& even enthusiasm) to abandon

I hated serial killers until I got that first rush of my hands squeezing tighter and tighter around a helpless delicate neck

Which of Britain’s 21st century wars did you regard as so necessary that you’d be prepared to see your son or daughter get killed in action while fighting it? Which one do you think would’ve been worth your own life.

it is devastating to notice how few benches there are in the world and how some benches have been replaced by weird "leaning" things. the world is incredibly cruel to disabled, elderly, poor, pregnant, tired, homeless, and all people. there should be benches fucking everywhere for everyone

Yes! Until you become someone who *needs* a bench (for me this was having kids), you don't see how the world excludes, denies, blocks access, with stairs, high curbs, no benches. Capitalist landscaping that intentionally welcomes the strongest members of society and excludes the rest.

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

American Christians are redoing the reformation for trump.

Suuuuure, Reese.

oh no republicans not your petard, no dont hoist no stop not your own petard bros

Say what you will about her she regularly manifests the only type of appropriate energy for the moment we live in

the fascists have been lying, cheating and changing the rules to their benefit for years. turnabout isn't just fair play, it's the only way to maintain some semblance of a civil society.

He means “You all knew what you were buying, lads, we’ve all spoken about this offscreen” but there’s no point saying that to these people, who are highly skilled at not seeing inconvenient things.

Let me ask this question: how do you expect "dialogue" when one side screams slurs nonstop until they get fired from their job, only to have their court case bankrolled by the billionaire in the mold castle. Every single one of them is at some stage of Glinner-ification. What would that achieve

Does anyone else ever just think about the Jeremy Irons “couldn’t I marry my son” interview

so difficult to know you have rejection sensitivity but also strongly suspect that your only two friends don’t give that much of a shit about you or your life when it really comes down to it

it's time to take back control. posting this to hold myself accountable

Palantir's 'manifesto' has been described as an 'AI-driven threat to humanity's existence' and 'technofascism'.

Well done to everyone in team Starmer who decided to throw this guy under the bus.

This is the crux for me. It’s not about whether Starmer knew about the failed vetting; it’s that Starmer created a situation where the appointment didn’t allow for failed vetting

Fascists and Nazis hate history, and historians; but understand the power of history. Thats why, across the world, they work so hard to control HOW we tell stories about the past, to drive out diverse critical voices and perspectives, to ensure a narrative that makes them look good.

Getting a lot of questions about my decision to hire a guy called Roderick The Evil Killer Clown for the role of Ambassador to Circuses

So now we've established that Mandelson is a corrupting force that sullies everything and everyone in his sphere of influence, what are we going to do about the fact he hand-picked the entirety of Labour's 2024 intake of new MPs?

I think we can see the reason for this is the same as any number of abysmal scandals at all kinds of major British institutions: Nobody wants to go lifting rocks because of the very high risk that moving one of them will send a geyser of scalding hot corruption leaping two hundred feet into the air.

A visible change when he sticks his hand on his chin. Truly remarkable

Anyway I think to summarise today, we only need one image.

This is precisely what Priti Patel and Kemi Badenoch did too, for exactly the same reason (they’re horrible people who behave horrendously, and this usually manifests itself as seething contempt for liberalism in general)

I stress constraints more than most and I am still certain that Starmer's operation has made massive, avoidable errors, and that his position has probably been untenable for some time. They have blown a major opportunity. That is on them, and him, and Labour supporters should not be forgiving.

I would look at the astonishingly long list of MPs and officials who suicide bombed their own careers to tank their party and put these swine back in the top jobs, and were rewarded for it with peerages and other non-jobs for life or e.g. ambassadorships, and start putting two and two together.

Kurt Vonnegut on buying an envelope

it is very interesting to me that centrists are now using Gaza and Palestine to try to chastise "the left" after years of clearly, clearly, vocally not giving a fuck about Gaza and Palestine.

it's opposite day again remember, Democrats can never fail, they can only be failed. it is you, the voter whose vote we are asking for, who are the piece of shit responsible this, you fucking asshole dickhead. please vote for us next time please okay you filthy ugly whore because we love you

Texting my workplace nemesis to let them know that tomorrow I will be crop dusting in the area their desk is

Always find the pre-warning so funny like, okay thanks for letting us know, will have three weetabix in the morning to prepare

"The Onion lives in a false reality"

Why would voters ever make a promise to a party. Why would that ever be the balance of power in anything but a cult.

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them. The graves of multiple children have been defaced. One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

The Onion has reached a deal to acquire Infowars • It will be turned into a parody site of itself • Has the support of the Sandy Hook families “A lot of people gave up on doing the right thing over the last two years. Despite an insane amount of threats & bullshit, we persevered" (via Variety)

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

An onion will do well for such a shift

LOL what the fuck. Mate you’re accusing him of secretly & inexplicably doing something so serious he had to be sacked immediately, and you’re furious about it. You cannot then say “but he’s cool tho I rate him a lot”

Like, AI literacy in any form will not protect black and disabled folks from the algorithmic bias, and the violence that emerges from it, of spicy autocomplete. Full stop. No amount of AI literacy can protect us in the deployment of the system because it is tracking the wrong problem.

No amount of AI literacy can protect us because the problem isn’t knowledge, or how to use the system, it’s that the system exists in a culture that has been radically structured around white supremacy and patriarchy and your precious autocomplete incorporates it into its operations.
