Brilliant planning and flawless execution are the hallmarks of the Trump regime.

“Constitution destroyed in plane crash” feels like a VEEP joke that they scrapped for going too far.

Anyway, when I gripe about how the U.S. military raises people who don’t understand a damned thing while also believing themselves to be warrior-scholar-diplomat-governor-genius-gods…

Remember, the New York Post is literally a tabloid

these people should all hang

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US. His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism. And he failed.

One of these persons is not like the others...

"The peasants have no beef? Then let them eat Bar-S sausage."

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

She’s a serious candidate; at this point I think most people dismissing her seriousness are at least partially motivated by misogyny; and this is a clearer articulation of a progressive foreign policy than I’ve seen anyone else running for office make

In "fairness," it does come from a fairly accurate read of the electorate. "Authoritarianism but I get to live in Star Trek off the backs of an oppressed low wage migrant class we can tyrannize at will" is basically what the 2024 election said people wanted.

hey, remember when the transphobes started coming for gender-affirming care for minors and it was framed as “concern for children” and trans folks said “lol they just want us to not exist” and our society full of rubes and people with turnips for brains took the transphobes’ arguments at face value

Never forget that the primary tactic of this movement is distraction. They point to medical statements, procedural wins and tangentially related anecdotes because *they have no evidence of their core claim* If lots of kids were transitioning without assessment they would be talking about that.

the president of the united states raped kids

This man literally needs to be stopped

@mothersbasement.bsky.social you've messed up my budget for entertainment with your videos and podcast, you SOB. I bought the Blu-ray of My Dress Up Darling and several others because of you. Freaking good stuff.

This is genuinely really bad, the kind of shit that guarantees a bad outcome. Very dodgy

“he was 27 and his mom said he loved playing in the snow and now they won’t even tell her how he died” this one really fucked me up they came here because they were being persecuted by law enforcement and then he was killed by law enforcement

Not sure if it's kosher to discuss #Lent fasting, but I'm already feeling a benefit to my daily life from avoiding the minor things I'm taking a break from: internet video content and retail therapy.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

As Schlock Mercenary taught us, the best mercenaries get paid multiple times for the same work.

This is an important point. As yet Andrew has not been arrested for anything involving Giuffre, which is difficult to prove in court. They have him on information in the Epstein files regarding his time as trade envoy, which was well known to be corrupt. They mean to put him in prison.

U.K. action helps expose DOJ coverup: Feb 7: Bondi DOJ memo: "We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties." Sept 16: Kash Patel testimony: "There is no credible information, none" that Epstein trafficked girls to other men.

Father David Inczauskis criticized how the Trump administration invokes Christianity when expedient, but censors aspects of the faith that uplift the poor, migrant, and imprisoned. sojo.net/articles/new...

Wow. This statement really unlocked some understanding for me as to how personally "good" evangelical Christians have pushed relentlessly further to the right as a group. They don't actually believe that God will provide for them. Or at least not an American standard of living.

I found the old 35mm slide for the cover for Neuromancer and had it scanned in for your pleasure. Enjoy!

I am home from @harmonycon.bsky.social - My heart is full from a great weekend and all of the lovely people I got to meet and get to know better. No time tonight, but hopefully I will remember to do a big tag post with memories like the old days.

Well, it is sad but it is now time for me to say a fond farewell to @harmonycon.bsky.social for this year. I really enjoyed working with the AV staff for the first time and I made new friends as well as seeing a lot of old ones. Thank you all for making this a great convention and a great weekend!

Notice how those who wanted to overthrow the government for being asked to carry proof of their covid vaccination, claiming it’s an infringement on their freedoms, are suddenly all in favor of needing multiple proofs of identity just so they can exercise their constitutional right to vote.

This is probably ok

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

yuh

Hell yeah dude

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.

Trumpists do not believe that people who disagree with them are entitled to a voice in government.

Happy birthday to Andrew Robinson, who played Garak on Deep Space Nine and voiced him on Lower Decks. He also directed one DS9 episode and two episodes of Voyager, and he wrote the novel A Stitch in Time, which tells the story of Garak's past.

For anyone who was interested, I am going to sign up for a slot from 1:30-2:30 at the Renegade stage tomorrow! These are the songs - I've only performed two of them before, and I'm excited to bring them all to you!

Anyone surprised?

“We’ve destroyed the economy and there is no hope of living comfortably or escaping from debt, but those darn youths are still eating food” is really telling on the WSJ and capitalism in general.

... I don't want to say we told you so? But like... every fucking one of us has told you so. (This is obviously not about Melissa, who is wonderful, but about every single person who is like omg can you imagine he said that? YEAH OF COURSE WE CAN.)

Simple fact is this: If you’re a member of the “gender critical” movement, you’re part of a pedophile ring whether you want to be or not.

The idea that humans have inherent and equal dignity is a fundamentally Biblical idea. It's one of the main points of the first Creation story in Genesis, and it is woven throughout Scripture for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. I am a progressive because I am a Christian.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
