Lisa McClain: "Don't let the facts get in the way of the good story"

This is why the inflatable costumes works so well -- it works the same way calling them "weird" or "creepy" did. It disrupts their narrative, and makes them seem pathetic rather than cool-and-cruel.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

the difference between me and guys like klein is that he thinks we should study the right to learn their values and i think we should study the right to learn their tactics

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

They should ask it in the honour to Kirk

Q. Why is there a special election in the Minnesota House tonight? A. Because the Democrat who held the seat was assassinated in June. www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-di...

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements." Really meant, "For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Life in America is a journey of learning all the things they “neglected” to teach us, and being deeply fucking resentful about the lies of omission while trying to find space in that same moment to be thankful for the opportunity we’ve been given to deepen our understanding and grow.

I would upset players, I would upset gamemasters, I would upset executives, like every other person who has been put in charge of Dungeons & Dragons, only I'd probably actually be trying. Anyway, modrons in core.

The same men who are trying to eradicate porn in the United States are rampantly sexually abusing women within their ministries.

Great news in Johnston, IA. Three current school board members are connected to "Moms for Liberty" and the right-wing organization only needed to win one seat tonight to gain full control of the school board. They lost all four seats, setting up a progressive majority instead.

My toxic trait is I want every human to be sheltered, fed, clothed and provided healthcare at no direct cost to themselves. I DO NOT CARE if some people then do nothing for the rest of their lives. Mazletov, god bless. I don't care if a few people figure out ways to game the system. People need help

Best use for an LLM chat bot yet

“But if you bully conservatives off the app others won’t want to join” Correct

You would never do this. Warn your friends to never do this. Never ever. The best ppl warn everybody.

In the least surprising thing ever, the most popular Medievalist on YouTube turns out to be a huge mysognist, homophobe, and transphobe. In better news though the most informative medievalist on YouTube cut all ties immediately when informed and refuses to work with him. Props to ScholaGladiatoria
