The gamerculturification of the American right has made it so that a federal agent can kill a queer woman while calling her a fucking bitch and antisocial, angry streamers and politicians will unanimously agree she deserved to die because of pronouns and nose rings and being a woman.

This. Gamergate is the skeleton key to understanding just how fundamentally antisocial the right is.

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

Leaving my house with the ‘don’t tread on me’ flag on it, putting on my mask and tactical gear, strapping on my weapon, and roaming the cities and towns that didn’t vote for my favorite candidate as an armed anonymous agent of the state kidnapping and shooting people who I don’t like the look of.

This is "you walk in on your spouse fucking someone else and they tell you theres no one else in the bed with them" levels of lying. Its sociopathy.

It does feel so quaint that “many fine people on both sides” was a huge controversy in the first term. Pretty clear 2025 Trump would just praise the Neo-Nazis and call the other demonstrators terrorist scum and it would largely be yawned at

This is great for them but also is it so damn upsetting. This is the kind of response you see to something like a wildfire or a hurricane, but instead it's our own fucking government.

They’re gonna lose. Have to believe that

Blood and stuffies. Trump’s America.

America doesn't just have a bigot problem. It's far worse than that. We have a vast swath of bigots that are so devoted to their bigotry that given the choice between a country that functions for everyone including people they hate, and watching the entire world burn, they reach for the matches.

Kinda sucks how one day you’ll post stuff like “does the Grinch use the toilet?” and then the next it has to be “I reject those who worship death”

Renee Nicole Good was a hero of our nation and a true patriot, and I'd better not see y'all sharing any of the defamatory crap that the administration will no doubt manufacture or dig up to harm her family and her legacy and her memory. We must honor her with resistance.

Hi hello it is okay to post about silly things today it is okay to post about movies or food or whatever The ICE Murder in Minneapolis is an absolute horror and you should be aware of it and doing that you can to speak up but doing nothing but panic and doompost or scroll today is Bad For You.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

The events of 5 years ago today mark one of the darkest days in US history. A sitting president encouraged a coup against our government—attempting to overturn a free & fair election. The absolute shame & criminality of that attempt will never be forgotten No matter how hard they try to erase it.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

The advantage of a dead kid to a certain kind of parent* is that they're forever an angel sealed in amber. They'll never talk back or embarrass the family. *the kind that should never, ever be a parent

It's just, if Putin's forces flew in and grabbed Trump in a military strike, there would be a part of me that would be pumped that the guy was gone, while still knowing that this was overall super-super bad. I think people are allowed to have emotional contradictions and stuff.

Well, it was either all this or another black person in a Star Wars movie

How I’m walking out of 2025

I’m really nostalgic for getting tv show box sets back when that was like a big deal. Like the days after Christmas where you’re just watching like every episode of Batman or aqua teen or something. You’d get commentaries and all, too. Great stuff

I don't wstch Die Hard for Christmas, I watch Batman Returns. No regrets. This movie was criminally underrated upon release, but proto-goth teen me knew where it was at.

Life is full of unanswered questions, like “Why does Disney+ only have the first part of the Bear in the Big Blue House Christmas special?”

Honestly I think we need to change how we view parenting because we still tend to treat children as a resource or capital.

Its her day

We Just Thought Joe Rogan Looked Like The Snowman From Jack Frost (1998)

In “The Cabbage Patch Kids’ First Christmas (1984)” tv special, they change the lyrics from “Don we now our gay apparel” to “Don we now our PRIDE apparel”. Kind of a lateral move there, guys.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Besides being abhorrent, Trump's comments on Reiner were predictable. We all knew it was going to happen. There wasn't any doubt. Imagine how badly this imbecile is being played by everyone around him simply catering to behavior you could set a watch by.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

Maybe it "doesn't feel like Christmas anymore" because for the past 25 years culture warrior crybabies have been sucking all the fun out of it. Getting mad at Sbux cups and people for saying "happy holidays". And celebrating the holiday as statement rather than having good will towards man.

In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked. They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them. They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.

I actually think there should be MORE swearing in Hazbin Hotel

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.

I'm not saying commercials haven't been crass and exploitive before, I try to avoid "back in my day" sentiments whenever I can, but it's wild that commercials are now either "AI slop so we don't have to pay people" or "beloved celebrity gets paid a lot to promote gambling."

Remember that Canadian cartoon that had a quick nomadic existence here on a channel you probably didn't have? That's on there, next to the European art house films and horror classics.

"I'm not left or right" proceeds to speak in homophobic white supremacist fascist capitalist nationalist imperialist transphobic misogyny

Over on the Facebook, you can bet that whether it's ICE brutalizing immigrant toddlers, or the US military mass-murdering civilians in international waters, every person cheering it on makes sure that you know they are a "Christian" in their profile. Every. Single. One.

Arguably, the actual gateway Anime Protagonist (look it up) for generations of people

Can't wait till we're going to Mexico for basic vaccines the way my dad took us for affordable orthodontics 20 years ago

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

This administration's ideology: Inflict as much harm as possible on vulnerable people. Powerful men should be allowed to do anything they want to others and, in fact, they should dominate, abuse and, when possible, kill others weaker than them. That's their politics. They're fucking monsters.

"there's no way to enforce a homeschool ban," someone says this is the perfect example of "liberals forget we have access to the tools of force as part of the state" the way you enforce it is you put people who homeschool their kids into a place called a jail or a prison

not me, i hope his ass continues to suffer more with every day and i put this uncharacteristic lack of empathy on my part directly at his swollen, painful feet

all of this will continue until society comes to the conclusion, which it hasn't yet, that being someone's parent isn't a license to torture and kill them

The Max Headroom Christmas Special must be seen to be believed. My favorite part is in the beginning where each of the guest stars’ names look like they’re flying out of the turkey’s asshole.
