It wasn't "cancel culture" when women and people of color got used up, silenced, and dismissed before their careers even began. It only became "cancel culture" when powerful abusers started having established careers momentarily inconvenienced by revelations of what they'd done.

it’s only an echo chamber when it’s the left. when it’s the right they call it some bullshit like the Agora or the Town Square

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

Disgruntled students gathered by the hundreds outside Ontario’s legislature Wednesday, to protest cuts to financial assistance grants.

Anyways.

I think one of the reasons it would be hard to do a left wing version of that thing is that if we summarise our main ideas in snappy little slogans like that barely anybody's gonna react negatively to them.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

Kelly Wilkinson was being abused by her husband. She tried to go to the police. They told her to “cool off”. They suggested she give her husband a “break”. They accused her of cop shopping. Her husband stabbed her over 20 times and set her on fire. The cops were complicit in her murder:

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

Thoughts & prayers to the EPA :(

Drivers: Drivers are extremely safe and law-abiding at all times even though the speed limit is far too low and they could be trusted to travel at the speed of sound, especially at night. Also drivers: You were riding a BIKE? On a ROAD? Are you trying to make me KILL you?

‘Ancient hatreds’ and it’s Mark Sykes and Francois Georges-Picot carving up the Middle East with a ruler in 1916

This is something that has always bothered me: landlords always talk about COVID like they were absolutely gutted. But this massive study by a national trade org, which was conducted on a month-to-month basis, shows the industry never took a bath www.nmhc.org/research-ins...

Dominic has decided to take matters into his own wings

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

I've said this elsewhere, but women don't need to literally stop having sex with men en masse for us to be treated like we're on a collective sex strike. The potential for us to keep being more autonomous and exercise alternative options is being treated just like one, and invites backlash.

Not to be THAT feminist, but I knew this was the case before opening the article. Men see fatherhood as an abstract milestone that's a proof of their virility, women see the associated costs. Not to mention that women not being locked into domesticity is the core of the antifeminist backlash today.

As badly as I have to pee, I'm more afraid of moving...

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree? NOEM: A what? CROCKETT: A law degree NOEM: No I do no- CROCKETT: Okay

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Me: Carney supports the attacks on Iran. Carney fans: No he doesn't. He didn't say that. Read his statement in the most generous way possible. He's just playing 4D chess. Carney: I support the attacks on Iran but I feel sad about it.

The Iranian ambassador was not, for the record, on American soil. I’ve never seen an admin more full of juvenile man-children openly projecting their juvenile man-childness every time they open their mouths and try to come across as “tough.” (And yes, I know Waltz’s background: still juvenile.)

If you're touting the Mamdani coalition today, please learn from what Mamdani did after he lost the Black vote in the NYC primary. He didn't blame Black voters or discount them. He courted the Black vote, showed up, *apologized when he messed up.* That's a way forward. www.aol.com/articles/nyc...

BREAKING: New York City reports the lowest levels of shootings, shooting victims, and murders ever recorded for the first two months of a year. Major crime is down nearly 8% citywide, burglary hit a record low, and retail theft dropped 25%

I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal. After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos. Here’s my investigation:

David Attenborough [whispering]: “As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

Like... no, you're not "projecting" or "calling" races, Polymarket. You're showing people the current betting line and misrepresenting it as something more than that.

I think one of the things that bothers me the most about the way Polymarket presents itself to the world is that it's adopted the language of journalism to make itself sound more legitimate. Like look at this post from yesterday morning incorrectly "projecting" the winner.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

"'reform ICE' is a terrible slogan that is too extreme to attract voters"

You ever notice that the people always questioning AOC’s intelligence (who worked her way through college and graduated with honors), never question the intelligence of Trump no matter how idiotic his statements or actions are?

I sometimes wonder about how Catholic nationalists work alongside rapture heretics on things like this and then remember a bunch of them are wealthy recent converts that really don't take it seriously other than trying to look pious on TV before telling the pope to shut up about feeding the poor.

Hey Canada, in case you're wondering what elbows up actually looks like, from a leader of a country who also faces direct threats from Trump but refuses to do a mealymouthed Neville Chamberlain impression.

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations. May this set a precedent. Remote work should be accessible to all who need it. It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

Same guy, same week.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it. We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."
