Why Elon Musk Needs Dungeons and Dragons to Be Racist The fantastical roots of “scientific racism”

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

If your "women and nonbinary people" group doesn't include any trans women or AMAB enbies, you just told all the nonbinary people you did include how you actually see them.

(And all the trans women you didn't include, too, but you obviously don't give a fuck about them to begin with.)

congrats!!!

YouTube video by ABC News Zohran Mamdani delivers victory speech

I just got out of D&D and am finally watching The Speech and I got as far as "these are not hands that have been allowed to hold power" before I burst into tears

But one thing they had in common is that they were unapologetic about their stances—something that Trump is also known for. From the beginning of his run, Mamdani proudly identified as a “democratic socialist,” and he kept true to his record Tuesday night by beginning his victory speech with a quote from 20th century socialist Eugene Debs and proudly reaffirming his ideological label. For her part, Spanberger, has a long record of moderate positions, however she was still was unapologetic in her own right, particularly in regards to LGBTQ people. Implicitly rejecting advice from certain Democratic campaign consultants, Spanberger stood by her repeated votes for the Equality Act, a bill that would expand anti-discrimination protections in credit, employment, housing, and public accommodations. Spanberger also refused to buckle under millions of dollars in attack ads on the subject of trans rights, saying that she wanted sports leagues, not government, to decide who should be allowed to compete. Mamdani and Mikie Sherrill, who won the governor’s race in New Jersey, were even more affirming in their support for trans rights. All three major candidates were laser-focused on affordability, telling voters in detailed ways how Trump has harmed them, and how they would build a broader society together rather than trying to tear it apart.

Despite having different ideologies, all three major candidates—Abigail Spanberger, Mikie Sherrill, and Zohran Mamdani—were laser-focused on how Donald Trump has damaged Americans' lives and how they'd fix things.

And all 3 also rejected establishment Democrats' advice to abandon trans people.

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things.

we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Just spoke to Zohran and he said he’s going to make it illegal to call it “chai tea” in New York.

Finally, progress.

Happy Andrew Cuomo Moving To Florida Eve to all who celebrate

After the free marketing from Trump & Elon, Zohran Mamdani wins Mayor of NYC! 🎉

New map of the cool parts of NYC just dropped.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.
