It's wild how "our intellectual elite are a bit morally smug" warrants the same article being pushed out saying as much for a decade, but a global paedophile ring in which many of our richest and most powerful and leading minds all took part is, you know, uncouth to talk about.

Are you fucking kidding me it’s like we are living in a cartoon

puberty blockers for trans youth exist only because doctors and parents want to give conversion therapy a chance body autonomy in puberty along their peers is a right!

okay do you think Zohran tapped it on his tongue??

listen to this king. a team with low morale is ineffective. relatedly, a team with high morale is effective. also relatedly: we are going to win

Trials and Triboulet-ions: A Balatro Podcast

Also from the leader of the Green Party @zackpolanski.bsky.social on TdoR

my stalkers began relitigating a near death experience i had when i was 7 and i got triggered and told one of them to kys. so i guess i did break the rules

Tumblr permabanned Patricia Taxxon after she was harassed by a handful of transmisogynistic hate blogs trying to spin her being groomed on Discord as her fault somehow. The arc of social media moderation bends towards banning trans women

Also, Patricia Taxxon did nothing wrong

Donald Trump should just...run away. They open the Oval Office door to get his signature to release the Epstein files and he's tied bedsheets together and climbed out the window.

There will be all kinds of people coming out of the woodwork to ensure that the only result of the Epstein files coming out is more restrictions on sex work and more censorship. They can and will use it as an excuse to make sex workers less safe.

A nonwhite socialist winning elevated offices in major cities is like a cross and garlic but someone needs to invent a stake to the heart for the Better Things Aren't Possible wing of the Democrats

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”

It is so hard for me to fall asleep. I need complete darkness or it'll keep me awake, a window from across the street at the edge of the curtain is too much. I need a meditation tape or similar to stop my brain from pinging between trains of thought.

@AdultHumanCanine: How many of these so called puppygirls were born with functioning tails? *someone in the comments points out there are dogs born without tails* @AdultHumanCanine: Outliers! Besides, there is something distinctly uncanine about a dog born without a tail, don't you think?

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.

I'm shorting Nvidia and I bought the dip on Kenvue who make Tylenol. If the syphilitic coked-out old pedophiles who run America are going to demonise my kind as a half-witted burden, then it's my right to profit on it.

I can understand asking for nuance in these discussions, but deliberately muddying the water by bringing up automation tools that people understand are not generative AI and asking for a middle ground is disingenuous. The nuanced position is that people are roundly rejecting the tech, respect that.

Dems: Mamdani is too radical for our taste. Plus someone said he's antisemitic. And that name is scary to us! We need to keep him out. Dems, 1 week later: Look lots of people have tattoos like that Dems, 2 weeks later: Marjorie Taylor Greene, welcome to the Tent

@mattpolprof.bsky.social wrote about how the core emotional appeal of reactionary thought is it lets you feel like a conquering king and put-upon victim at the same time a border patrol agent literally crying to the cops about being doxed? yes. this. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-modern-f...

"The Partisans Are Wrong" is going to be pur generation's "The End of History" in terms of laughable neoliberal cope phrases.

spare a thought for the poor souls who spent years working towards getting an invite to sex pest island only to have it cruelly snatched away

sometimes it will just hit me that over a million americans died from covid in a short period of time and we never had a national mourning. we never collectively grieved. we never honored the dead. this feels like a failure

This is why yall need to continue to contact your representatives about paypros, this is banking discrimination

What it's like to leave a comment on a mainstream news video

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

“there is a point on the graph where things get Worse, and there you will find Ronald Reagan” stays undefeated

They really are trying in an opposite reality, the BBC & a lot of media in general have are anti trans, it's clear to see, only today I was listening to the Bold Politics podcast with @natashadevon.bsky.social , she talks about missing opportunities because she supports us youtu.be/308kvoBM3xw?...

It'll swing back another few times, I think. Ultimately they will not get to enact their glorious Christonazi ethnostate, though they have infinite resources and talented tacticians planning their moves, the people responsible for executing the plan are the Wet Bandits from Home Alone.

this story was sort of lost in the last few days of the epstein news but it’s wild how many republicans appear to be pedophiles or okay with pedophilia

imagine that

For once, I get to be current TV as I'm staying over with someone who has Apple TV. Pluribus was gripping and tense. It's body snatchers but the full invasion happening nearly fully offscreen and it's instantly already too late makes it a lot scarier.

funny how ai bros always proudly yap about gen ai replacing artists, yet go through hoops to hide they use ai and create fake workflow to pretend they're an artist

Also, at some point, cis people are going to have to start confronting that the defence of paedophiles and the campaign against trans people escalating simultaneously and on the same trajectory is not a coincidence, at all.

Bluesky finally gave her an explanation for the suspension and it’s bullshit

Repost to scare Bluesky "Trust" and "Safety"

these epstein emails are pretty damning. i sure hope that we haven't spent the last couple years in a cultural backslide where men are seemingly allowed to openly and gleefully fantasize about dominating young women without any threat of reproach

Wild how every single member of the political and business elite went into full drooling fascism the second the prospect of consequences for abhorrent behavior started to seem possible

THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED FOR 72 HOURS DUE TO THE USER THREATENING TO "FIRE A FREEZE RAY AT NICK FUENTES AND THEN JUMP ON HIS HEAD, SHATTERING HIM INTO 1,000,000 PIECES AND COLLECTING 140,000 SOUL FRAGMENTS FOR USE AT THE NEXT BONFIRE"

It remains frustrating that so many British moderates are rotted by GCism to the point that they can clearly recognise a far-right agenda but neatly carve out an exception for the transphobia that's integral to that agenda—as if it's a stopped clock situation—without a moment's self-reflection

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Reading about enneagrams and coming to the conclusion that there is in fact no right way to raise a child

Oh sure you think Chuck Schumer is “caving” and “wants to ruin all the momentum” and “is horrible at politics” but what if I was to tell you that this old crazy man ran the idea by an imaginary married Irish American couple that exists only in his mind and they think it’s great politics

Hey just a reminder that it only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove and replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader. They don't do it because the majority of Senate Democrats approve of the way he does politics.

yeah ok we're all still rumor-mongering here but if this is what's actually happening i want everyone involved destroyed

Saudi megaprojects are so funny because it seems like they think they'll be able to break the laws of physics if they pay a bribe

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point
