I wish that were me

It’s the Mexican century

FURRIES IN THE NEWSROOM Anthrocon is underway and it's the hottest day of the year in Pittsburgh! I hope everybody drinks a lot of water.

It is very funny how at the end of Chomsky's life, after like 30 years of nothing but name recognition keeping his school of thought alive, LLMs get invented and just give utter and complete empirical proof that Chomsky was wrong about language and his critics were 100% correct the whole time

I know my people 🙏

The key difference is that they wanted Biden to lose and they want Trump to win and rule over us.

"c'mon I'm just attracted to the same sex, I'm not some sort of queer" Bsky was insisting nobody was saying this and then they go and publish it in the NYT

Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.

"This is Democrat's fault for not Messaging better."

People are mad at the Democrats because they haven’t done enough to fight Trump, which is why they’re voting for DSA members who believe the real enemy is the capitalist Epstein Class establishment in which Trump is just a visiting side character.

They like Trump. They want to help him rule us like a king

it's genuinely wild how the right wing and radical centrists (with cooperation from scotus) have manipulated the public discourse around birthright citizenship to be mostly a discussion about birth tourism and not the thing that conservatives actually care about (children of undocumented immigrants)

Conservatives seeing a purple haired woman in Star Wars and going full fash reminds me of how Sayyid Qutb saw Americans doing the Charleston to Baby It's Cold Outside and was so appalled that he invented Islamism

Lower class Trump voters are lazy entitled white trash who don't want to work. It's politically radioactive to say it but if you've met them you know it's true.

thank you job for giving me a slow day time to flirt with cartoons on the internet

Can we stop throwing money at people who hate us?

Today, July 1st 2026, has officially been designated as "Anthrocon Day" by the Mayor of Pittsburgh! We are honored and grateful for our partnership with the City of Pittsburgh, the Allegheny County, and the numerous partners that helped make this happen for 20 years in Pittsburgh 💛🖤💛

I'm concerned about the US becoming a Third World country. That's why I support a movement devoted to personalist rule that rewards rampant bribery and influence peddling.

I simply do not believe that I should be required to treat someone like this as a legitimate and respectable member of civil society

In retrospect it sure seems like going 70 years (1931-2001) without simultaneous Republican control of all three branches was pretty load-bearing

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

Court watchers seemed very sure birthright citizenship was going to be 7-2 or even 8-1. It should have been 9-0. Instead it's 5-4. Folks really need to update their priors. This "court" has no bottom as long as 6 depraved far right operatives are the majority.

We are ruled by the Council of Nine. They rule for life & are completely unaccountable. Their agent, the president, is empowered to enact their will but will be placed on a short leash when he displeases them. Congress can raise and appropriate funds the president can use or not to his liking.

Jefferies and Schumer making it very clear that they are very much not up to the challenge, as they view the birthright citizenship ruling as a big win rather than an ominous warning of the future

fixing the court is table stakes for any Dem running for national office, you are not a serious candidate if you can’t get on board with this and refusing to do so is disqualifying in a primary because it doesn’t matter what your policy positions are if SCOTUS will just overrule them

NGL. 5-4 has me shook just in terms of the extent to which conservative elites are willing to burn it all down. I mean obviously, as a trans woman, I dislike being openly despised. But this is flirting with breaking down the fundamental political settlements that keep society from collapsing.

5-4 on maybe the most straightforward question ever put to the test in postwar history is genuinely an abomination. Destroy the Court.

Yeah this is not the tone of alarm I’m looking for, try again.

Running for president, or really any federal office, without a plan to deal with this out of control institution is pointless. You might as well play pretend

Co-signed. It really is that clear, and it's that important.

you see the difference between Iran and America is that in one country ultimate power lies with a cabal of robed theocrats that pays only lip service to democracy, whereas the other is in the Middle East.

This is some repulsive gutter racism from a guy whose parents were born in Italy.

my policy priority is revenge

the only solution is expanding the court. anything else will simply not work.

it's a simple and obvious observation that the majority of conservatives on the Court want to undo Reconstruction unanimous on nullifying Section 3 of the Fourteenth, unanimous on sabotaging the VRA, and now four out of six for gutting what's left of the Fourteenth on birthright citizenship

More and more people have been saying that our goods are simply too cheap and our dollars go too far.

5-4 for the most basic, obvious to a child constitutional rule in plain language.

Vox is up there with the Atlantic in terms of the impact it has had on political discourse (derogatory)

The full remote -> hybrid -> back to office trajectory should be mapped against signals of labour bargaining power. Not seeking to litigate which is the better model here, but it’s fairly clear to me that there has been a pretty radical rebalancing from employees to employers between 2021 and 2026.
