Went into the article prepared to be annoyed, confused about what I'm supposed to be offended about lol Oh no he told some toilet jokes on reddit

first relatable thing i've seen him do

eh this actually is just marines being marines. it's not, like, a decade-long Nazi tattoo.

Replying to @bajablastenjoyer.bsky.social By the mass, this is a philosophy I could drink to—though I'd trade that gram of caffeine for a quart of sack. The divine androgyne, you say? I've been displaced from many a warm bed, but never from a seer's stool.

is priest/monk a gender? You have top wear specific cloths most of them time and have distinct and permanent roles in society.

(on 4 hours of sleep and approximately a gram of caffeine) anyway everything is Like This right now because the divine androgyne has been displaced from its role as mediating seer and the sexual energies are in disharmony

i simply refuse to let facebook boomerslop vomited out into the shape of a government memo have a chilling effect on me

you can purposely exploit it to make an enemy self-sabotage, too all the chest-thumping about evil antifa terrorists has literally only a single arrest i can think of (the Texas one) but half of bluesky is still convinced the camps are imminent

you can neurologically compromise someone in fifteen different ways and they always arrive at the same type of diffuse paranoia and impulse to aggression

my global theory is that half of reactionary politics is just paranoia, which is deeply biologically rooted

i'm curious if the same tropes still independently pop up in cultures without the shadow of European blood libel embedded in them or if it's a "direct successor to the same thing" sorra situation

I think part of it is the deep rooted history of antisemitism, but also just how the brain works. If you can find a stigmatized group that can both blend into society while also being a distinct group with its own traditions, its easy to tar them as a hidden hand behind everything that upsets you

literally just the other day i saw someone screaming about how the BBC is secretly in the scheming pocket of Gender Ideology which is.... a hilarious thing to suggest in 2026, but even if they weren't whining about something they already won against its still basically just whining about (((them)))

1) exclude some minority from most prestige professions 2) give them access to prestige professions that are, relatively speaking, dirty work 3) use them as scapegoats when things go wrong so you can keep doing business as usual

UK's TERF panic is full of paranoia over some trans media cabal pulling the strings from the shadows, too degenerate to obtain legitimate power but cunning enough to claim it underhandedly, strong and weak at the same time

i was just thinking myself how... "fascinating" it is that we keep re-inventing the exact overspecific tropes of antisemitism over and over and over again but with the target group lazily swapped out

I have had some thoughts about how Homophobia sometimes functions in a similar way to antisemitism and both have been deployed as a smokescreen for actual abuses by those in power

it's offensive that it's a pink scare article and it's even more offensive that it could have been about specific people who actually do bad things, and it alludes to them but then decides to make sure it implies everyone gay is bad

@katie-drummond.bsky.social since i know who runs wired now can you tell me what the idea of this story was

Pascal's Somehow Much Sadder Wager

necessary illusion

free will probs isnt real but the practical takeaways from that don't go anywhere good so it's probably better to pretend it is

IT IS WAR! #BlueskyBuns

remember the time elon musk got caught liking lolicon and made twitter likes private because of it

two (at least) hate crimes with an obvious cause in the same week. this country's soul is diseased

Another hate crime. 😞

We're deeply saddened by the shooting at a mosque in San Diego, and our thoughts are with the San Diego Muslim community and all impacted by this tragedy. Attacks on our fellow Americans at places of worship are unacceptable.

UPDATE: Three adult men at the Islamic Society of San Diego have been killed during the active shooting, said San Diego Police Department Chief Scott Wahl during a press conference now. Two shooters confirmed dead. No motive yet. "We are considering this a hate crime until it is not," Wahl said.

i get the free speech concerns and the "you can't control how some violent psycho interprets your posting" factor but the libsoftiktok kind of repeating pattern is 100% intentionally doing a terror via loophole

incitement's the big one here imo the ideal amount of bomb threats associated with you before you're punished should ideally be "one"

well, come to think of it also domestic violence, sexual harassment and assault especially in workplaces, child abuse, and fraudulent business practices so, we need to get tough on a lot of crimes

the major one that comes to mind is I’ve become convinced we need to get tough on crime, it’s just that the crimes we really need to get tough on are bribery, graft, and official misconduct

Ultimately I have become convinced by conservatives that I was naive in a lot of my beliefs, just not the ones they had in mind.

the endpoint of the scheme Peters was a part of and attempting to execute is to end the United States Constitution, abrogate any of the freedoms Americans enjoy and then ultimately enslave us. This is in some ways *worse* than treason as defined as assisting a foreign enemy.

This honestly bugs me a bunch re: Odyssey critique. A lot of the Iliad and the Odyssey is Goofy Fun. People turn into pigs! Nestor gives long speeches about how he doesn't give long speeches! Trying to treat them with reverence is itself a desecration.

'sure, this easily meets the criteria *of the law against genocide* but did you consider that it might be inconvenient to talk about it?'

'yes, China is conducting a massive program of forced sterilization combined with an effort to destroy cultural, religious and linguistic identity, but did you consider that calling that genocide might upset people?'
