wearing trump shirts/hats is like wearing swastikas. it's the same thing. it's meant to terrorize and intimidate.

Someone said Republicans are school shooters and Democrats are the Uvalde cops and man…

As a journalist I am obligated to shoot straight down the middle, a vestigial professional superstition that someone made up 100 years ago, that is also coincidentally very efficient for spreading right wing propaganda.

Republicans Love Supreme Court Expansion When It Gets Them What They Want When it comes to state supreme courts, Republican politicians have been happy to add (or subtract) justices as they see fit.

Pretty wild to me how many pundits and academics treated Republican opposition to the notion of Supreme Court expansion during the Biden administration as a serious, principled stance, as opposed to a position Republicans would obviously abandon the moment it became convenient

This is beyond fucking infuriating. We are watching high schoolers, LITERAL CHILDREN, doing more to defend democracy than our fucking Senators. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS STOP GIVING THEM A FUCKING INCH. WHY IS THAT SO GODDAMN HARD FOR Y'ALL?

IMO "can you separate the art from the artist" is a question I'm no longer interested in, if I ever was. Our relationship with a work changes all the time, we gain new experiences & info all the time, no matter what, it's not static. Those new bits of information can bring about altered rel to work

"I'll sail the seven seas" or you could just not fucking watch it. If people think the studios don't have a grasp on the demand via piracy, I have a bridge to sell them.

Sex is not a right. Denial of sex is not denial of life. Most animals do not pass on their genes. You are not owed a legacy.

Men who do not accept this are advocating for rape. Do not ignore this fact just because they are using softer language.

Twas also an original hater, but most of the people who liked him were the "fuck yeah, science" types who treat science as magic. Musk is the modern snake-oil guy & unfortunately, even in the age of information, there are always marks.

I'm not advocating for the removal of privacy, only pointing out that it takes only a few people to ruin a space when it's a design feature.

One day I will edit all the random (mostly Tarnma) smut I have in my backlog.

I know y'all don't care about how clean something reads but the perfectionist porn peddler in me DOES.

And it's always top tier.

All it takes is a very dedicated group of losers to destroy community in spaces that permit anonymity.

Play stupid nazi games, win stupid nazi prizes.

Aaron Sorkin missed the mark on his idealistic vision of government with West Wing but boy did he hit the nail on the head with that opening scene in the Facebook movie where Zuck gets his feelings hurt by a girl who dares to speak out of turn in his mind and then he takes it out on the world

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

So weird that they are making us responsible for their problem. We could, instead, get rid of tax havens and make the wealthy pay their share.

Beware of ‘anti-woke’ liberals: they attacked the left and helped Trump win | Jan-Werner Müller So-called ‘reactionary centrist’ pundits proclaimed that there was a global ‘vibe shift’ in favor of the right. They were wrong

"The other iron law of reactionary centrism...is that only the left and liberals really have agency. The right just reacts – everything is always backlash, never a self-generated political project." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

TBF, the success of the song was less about calling out predatory behavior/demanding accountability on behalf of Drake's victims & more about dunking on him personally for being a lame creep. It was a diss track at the end of the day which would have played just fine in the 90s.

They're SO MAD they're not funny. They hate it worse than being ugly. They know being funny is what can make a guy with 6 looks attractive to women outside their league and they just don't fucking have the juice and are mad they can't buy it or study it

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

while anthropic secretly buys and destroys millions of books in hidden warehouses, let it be known that human staff at @archive.org carefully scan physical media by hand as always and there's literally a daily livestream because the process is so wonderful to watch!!!

A human writer uses a dash to set off a relatively abrupt jump in thought. But the machines are constantly calculating the most predictable next thing to say, plodding around the same area. So the machine dash looks like it's gesturing toward something new, only to always land on something obvious.

Nyong'o's casting is the only one that makes sense to me. Also, for all the historical purists, that shit went out the door as soon as Nolan put Greeks in PANTS.

-but they know that the IMAGE of the working man cuts to the heart of white people who BELIEVE they have ties to that identity in their soul: hard-working, handy, honest folk.

Similar to their obsession with the 1950s, it's about the myth & not the truth of the time. It's a dream built on lies.

The Right has fetishized & co-opted the image/language of the (white) working class. It's the same reason they all own 60k+ pick-ups with a bed that has never been used. For music, that's country. None of these people have ever worked a farm or a rig (including a lot of farm owners)-
