As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

The billionaires, media, and both major US parties cooperate with each other to fuck the American populace. It's going to be hard to keep in mind that all of it needs to be toppled. But it's...everything. Is the whole goddamn apparatus. We are a failed state.

Me: Don’t expect too much, it’s not like the emails will have a smoking gun. The emails: Please see attached smokinggun.pdf.

At what point does the New York Times get charged as organizationally conspiring to abet human trafficking of minors.

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is NYT: but her emails

The crisis of elite impunity that is ruining our society cannot be more clearly or convincingly demonstrated than with the fact that all of these people wrote all this stuff into an email and hit Send.

“That’s one hell of an act you’ve got there. What do you call it?” “The Kakistocrats!”

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

it's particularly ghoulish to me that increasingly i see Brianna's transness disappear from conversations around her, like people are so keen to use her tragic death to push for phone bans, but not so keen to remind the british public that this was a hate crime against a minority individual

Restricting trans children from supportive communities online is a specific technique used by 'gender critical' conversion therapists. Pushing this in schools is deeply disturbing.

There's a question here that I don't think a lot of people want to ask, because the answer is just too grim to contemplate, and that's how is this murder not a policy victory for the British government? Is this not the intended outcome of smearing trans people as dangerous predators?

I don't get how you can foment so much violent rage against trans people, and not expect to have blood on your hands. This is the bed Labour politicians shat in, now they're upset they have to sleep in it?

Cue the articles on discrimination against sloppers.

If Esther Ghey was willing to say how she believes that this campaign would've stopped some children murdering her daughter I'm all ears. Instead, she seems to be focussed on Brianna's mental health. Her mental health did not kill her. The hate enabled and encouraged by a transphobic society did.

nuke the bbc with everyone in it

So now we have a confession that that the so-called ‘investigation’ into the Tavistock was nothing more than a way to get it shut down. Trans kids have died since then, because they can no longer get the healthcare they need. This is on you @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

everyone who voted for it is serving their final term. they traded votes to make sure no one who plans on running again can be seen to have voted for it. treat them all like they voted for it.

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city. I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

One CEO called the idea a “disgusting insult” and “economic genocide against the Gen Z generation.” 👀 @newsweek.com $XHB www.newsweek.com/50-year-mort...

We’ve given Gen Z a pandemic, a Great Recession, growing fascism, a fear of science, a fear of reality and now mortgages they can pay into their 80s. I think they’ve had enough of our “leadership”.

Almost every policy decision over the last several decades has been a long term wealth transfer from young to old.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

I understand that this is controversial but I think that women are oppressed as women and should organize on behalf of their gendered self-interest.

Words cannot express how Joever it is for these fuckers. Zarah Sultana needs to jump ship and join the Greens, and the rest of them need to go fuck themselves. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- [email protected] or dm me. RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Fight don’t fold.

Business Books! Never buy a business book, they are all terrible and corrosive to society.

As long as NYT is asking “Did women ruin the workplace” can they also ask: •Did men ruin safe workplaces? •Did men ruin domestic safety? •Did men ruin public safety? •Did men ruin global peace? Or is a clear “YES” to all these questions just too difficult for fragile men to accept—so NYT avoids it?🤔

Hi i should get money

I can't decide if they are actually deliberately trying to write the headlines to monster him or if their increasingly useless newsroom just doesn't really understand how to use English all that well any more

I'm currently doing contract work but I'm still looking for more – contract or full-time. I'm a narrative designer, writer, systems designer, and game designer with a decade of game dev experience, on projects ranging from indie games, to IP support for a major studio, to interactive video.

Problems I solve: - Structural design for complex narrative systems - Systems, economy and progression design - Anything to do with storylets - Advanced Ink scripting - Live Ops and event design for live games - Writing, especially prose, especially in the horror, comedy, and sci-fi genres.

Trans folks reading this: don't panic too much, the supreme court thing is about injunctions pending a larger court case Cis folks reading this: Try to understand how terrifying it is to be a minority the government openly hates, and they start fucking with your ability to *leave the country*

Sorry but anyone who thinks free public transit is some insane boondoggle policy rather than just the obviously correct, rational, and efficient way to operate public transit is just not someone who should be listened to, ever

It's literally a choice between spending $10 and getting 5 utils out of it or spending $20 and getting 15 utils. Transit fares are *irrational.*

I think American conservatism is kind of a mystery cult in that the people on the outer layers of it are simply not really cognizant of what it's about; hence the female staffer who is somehow surprised by sexism at her job advocating for the mass enslavement of her gender

Even before all the vast harms of AI, just the sheer misallocation of resources is itself a crime against humanity.

This might have been true 20 years ago. Unfortunately it is no longer the case. As the people whose actual memories of war have died, we've replaced sombre remembrance with fascist purity tests and crass celebrations of violence.

Completely beyond why people try to defend Labour record on treatment of asylum seekers. They are awful. They have done terrible things the Tories never even thought of, like denying any refugee who came here through irregular means from EVER becoming a citizen & ENDING FAMILY REUNIFICATION. demons.

That cannot be a real name. It's just too perfect. They might as well be called "Rightwing Shitcunt".

lol she got his ass and he knows it

If nothing else, I’m glad he’s so fucking miserable all the time
