Yeah, my wife was furious and I was like, "I don't like it, but I do understand why people are panicking."

Mamdani: if you advance progressive causes and believe in what you’re doing you can win!
Democrats: yeah hard pass

just a reminder that the 8 Dems who folded need to vote again later in the week (thanks to dumb senate procedure, unsurprisingly)

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Not yet, as the next week is hell and I absolutely would not have time, but lemme think when I can take you up on that!

Yeah, I was just wondering if it was better to go with Patreon, aside from the fact that I could watch it on the TV app

To anyone who has a subscription: Is Nebula worth it? Is there enough content there to make it work, especially if you already watch stuff on YouTube?

If you tell your constituents that there are people you are willing to throw away, on some level they are hearing that, under future circumstances, they can be thrown away too. It’s abuser manipulation and there’s already a political party for people who want to live with that way.

How come people always want to blame porn for things like intimate partner violence and they never want to blame: deeply ingrained misogyny

There's a small cadre of trans folk who seem weirdly protected from interacting with real-world hatred, and I don't know whether it's they've been poisoned by online discourse or just that society got accepting enough that they could just... forget... that some people really fucking HATE them.

Yes, I used a fancy em-dash in a Skeet. It's not because I'm AI, it's because I ran out of characters.

Brianna Wu says 'sorry' for caving to transphobes, but it's too little too late Brianna Wu has said she is 'sorry' to her 'trans sisters' for cosying up to the gender-critical brigade, but her trans sisters aren't taking the call.

It always sounds like the "reasonable" thing to meet bigots in the middle, especially when you have qualms about your own movementβ€”but these people aren't out to compromise. They're out to exterminate and humiliate.

Stunning that anyone doesn't know that by now.

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.

And unfortunately for us all, medical technology advanced at a rate where Boomers could be active well past where past generations would have geared down, so now they're functionally convinced they're immortal

I wanted to like it because the director was a YouTube film critic who I'd occasionally seen, so I supported the idea by seeing it in the theater.

Hoo boy, was it narrative misfire after misfire, constantly making promises that it would never deliver on

Nothing makes a die-hard movie fan wilt faster than seeing that critic they always disagree with raving about that new movie they were excited to see

FAQ for Right Wing Muppet Fan Commenters - ToughPigs Here's one to send to those commenters who still don't understand why we do what we do.

Whenever we post anything "political" on our Muppet fan site, we get a lot of the same comments. So we're answering all the questions before they're inevitably made.

If you were growing up in the 90s, Clinton was like the Obama of his times - popular, kinda hip in a dorky dad way, an effective liberal

Then the Lewinsky thing hit and each year it's like been like watching a fading Polaroid as everyone scrambles to pretend he didn't exist

No matter what your role and sacrifice in a resistance is, some people will always hate you for not being exactly as miserable as they are.

And yet, if you are the most miserable, you are deemed weak and useless.

And regimes capitalize on all this.

Finished the Silent Hill 2 remake last night. It is as good as everyone said, and it is as stuffed with meaningless repetition that saps the impact as everyone says

The β€œPerson who wants a political party to lose describes what that political party must do to win” genre of article is just incredibly insulting to everyone’s intelligence yet it will persist until the end of time

The irony here is that the media push that had people going "Gay people are everywhere, so you should treat them like they matter!" got leveraged to become "Gay people are everywhere, so you should treat them like the threat they are!"
