the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is

- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)

- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)

- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

This morning, Benjamin Netanyahu will address the United Nations — an institution which has concluded his government is committing a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. He arrived in New York after a flight that added hours to its path to circumvent the airspace of countries which might enforce the International Criminal Court's warrant for his arrest. During the course of his speech, another Palestinian child will undoubtedly be killed by the Israeli military in Gaza, as they have been every single hour for nearly two years. Eric Adams will greet Netanyahu as a friend. Andrew Cuomo proudly served on his legal defense team. Both have jockeyed for the approval of Donald Trump, who has sent billions of our taxpayer dollars to support these war crimes. A Mayor cannot end these atrocities. But they can speak for the values of this city: a commitment to human rights for all people, including Palestinians, and a yearning for peace and justice. Even if those values are anathema to those in power now, they will endure.

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

at some point we are going to discover where the shakedown money Trump is taking for his various "deals" is going and it is not going to be what anyone would understand as being "the United States government"

Surely *this* slice of pizza will be enough.

Every single thing is infinitely worse now but at least you can have a big mac delivered to your front door whenever you want

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

it wobbles the mind how we got from "you need to block web browser cookies!" and "wikipedia is not a factual resource!" to "whisper your darkest secrets into the shitty hate machine, it's fine!"

I'm old enough to remember when it was antisemitic to suggest the IDF would even dream of attacking a hospital

I get so angry when I think about how thoroughly we could all—and I do mean ALL—be chilling right now.

All of this could have been avoided. It could have been avoided so damn easily. We literally had to actively work hard to get into this mess.

I have a feeling that this Monday was just 3 Tuesdays in a trenchcoat.

*young me, developing a strong sense of justice*

This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

one thing that's making me feel particularly insane lately is how there is no longer any limit to the amount of wrong you can be

AI art and LLM generated text content highlight a specific sort of alienation, I think: they are created by people engaged in a process they never imagine themselves on the receiving end of. The people who are excited to be "AI creators" are not actually excited to also be "AI consumers". Nobody is.

and here we have the GOP, the American govt. gleefully and maliciously destroying programs, some of which will kill untold numbers of people.

And I have to pay bills and work.

does it feel to anyone else like we're living out a version of The Scorpion and the Frog in which the scorpion doesn't even bother to lie and just says out loud "i am going to sting and kill you"

They want to undo the New Deal and the Civil Rights movement. They want women out of the workforce and in the kitchen. They want the enlightenment driven from the earth. They want serfdom. Predicated on economic, racial, religious, and gender hierarchies of their preference.

I just realized that every single time I threw my hands in the air to wave, I did care

A dachshund stands in a store, visible through glass doors marked with a "no dachshunds" graphic silhouette sign. The interior shows shopping carts and tiled flooring.

BECOME UNGOVERNABLE

ever y time i see like 200 fireworks going off I imagine that theyre being shot at an aliens ufo just rocking the shit out of his stupid ass

if many people don't cook, despite a proliferation of resources and information on how to cook, then might I suggest there is some barrier at work other than lack of knowledge?

radical premise, I know, but hear me out: people are exhausted and have no time

I don't want to fight, just...consider it

I'm a conservatively dressed, monogamously married queer person and even my existence gets labeled obscene.

We should protect sex workers because sex work is work and we don't throw people in front of fascist hate groups to save ourselves

But it's absurd to think that would even work. It won't.

Modern Republicans are incapable of competent governance. They are unaware that it even exists. They think politics is just reality tv, an exchange of rhetorical volleys for entertainment purposes. They have no awareness that real lives are involved.

maybe chat gpt is a problem that solves itself

or a problem that makes itself exponentially worse

either way

"Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."
