between this, Jeanine Pirro, and Michael Tait, the God's Not Dead cinematic universe is having a really incredible year. @willsloanesq.bsky.social @alexshephard.bsky.social

You should get DC to let you write a Lex Luthor origin story miniseries that takes this as its premise rather than the tired old β€œmisunderstood genius strikes back at society that rejected him” trope.

You could also just lose that one opinion instead of adding a bunch of other opinions that are just as dumb.

It was already the case and has been for years that the imaginary scenario you just invented could never happen so no, the concerns of transphobes are not legitimate. Like you, they are inventing fake things to get mad at as a means of laundering their bigotry.

Screenshot of my timeline where the first skeet is someone posting a screenshot of Elon Musk tweeting that the solution to hunger is AI and robotics and the second skeet is some pictures from Elon Musk’s disgusting restaurant that look like they were made at the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience.

Starmer literally kicked Corbyn out of the Labour Party??? Can’t think of a more substantial way to be responsible for Corbyn forming a new party.

Both of these gremlins were at the photo op with Netanyahu. If there is a just and loving God we will live to see them jailed as collaborators and war criminals.

I feel like the Oreo-flavored Reese’s cup should not have peanut butter in it. This collab really undervalues the Oreo β€œStuf” filling.

Are Matt Yglesias and Nate Silver currently pounding the table demanding that Mamdani’s fellow Democrats follow the will of American voters or is that only for stuff like brutalizing immigrants and Bitcoin shit?

Sanders’s flawed statistic: 500,000 medical bankruptcies a year

Sanders’s flawed statistic: 500,000 medical bankruptcies a year

Debtors were asked whether medical expenses, or loss of work related to illness, contributed to their bankruptcies. Of those who responded, 66.5 percent said at least one of those factors contributed β€œsomewhat” or β€œvery much.”

Debtors were asked whether medical expenses, or loss of work related to illness, contributed to their bankruptcies. Of those who responded, 66.5 percent said at least one of those factors contributed β€œsomewhat” or β€œvery much.”

When we asked Himmelstein whether Sanders was quoting his study accurately, he said yes.

Himmelstein wrote: β€œ37 percent of filers said medical bills β€˜very much’ contributed to their bankruptcy. Even if you use that restricted definition, then Sanders’s statement is accurate β€” or an underestimate. There are about 700,000 bankruptcy filings each year. Many filings are joint husband/wife filings, and based on our past research, we estimate that on average 2.71 persons reside in each debtor’s household. So the total number of persons who undergo bankruptcy is about 1.9 million annually.

This is a classic case of cherry-picking a number from a scientific study and twisting it to make a political point.

My favorite WaPo fact-check is the one where they gave Bernie three Pinocchios for accurately citing a study.

Me: So of course you felt terrible about her dying in that horrific accident, despite it not being your intention you pulled a trigger and killed someone…that has to always haunt you

Alec Baldwin: yes of course

You could write this same article about how the fall of Bill Cosby implicates and discredits Black conservatism and respectability politics but you can be sure that the Atlantic wouldn’t fucking run it lol
