do you remember the time Vladimir Putin once said he invaded Ukraine for JK Rowling

The first act of tyranny has a time limit, but I’ve never run up against it

I would love one!

It’s funny how much “real life politics are like my favourite pop culture property” is a meme about liberals considering the only people I’ve seen doing it sincerely were leftists

Protestors waving Mexican flags is probably not the best optics but there being protests at all is probably worse optics for trump so I don’t think it matters that much

Poland why

I love social media, the take “people who are constantly high shouldn’t be running the government” has led to debate between “nobody should ever do drugs” and “actually drugs don’t affect behaviour”

Literally my google search history from last week

Honestly I think a better take is that horny is siloed now. Things are either very horny or unhorny

Whover wished to a monkey’s paw that the public would understand the value of free trade a few years ago must feel terrible

I’m less surprised that he’s gay than that he’s open about it

if you spent the 2024 campaign saying that Democrats would be every bit as bad as Trump on immigrants, on trans rights, etc - this is you. you were lying to others and possibly yourselves.

"I coded rollercoaster tycoon entirely in assembly so it can run on most machines" do. do they know why C was initially so popular

The movement bannon does is completely different from the one musk did. The fact that media is describing them as being the same or similar makes it abundantly clear they're well aware of what it is

Coke is often used as a a positive case study of an organization that did diversity right (after a bruising loss in an anti-discrimination suit). Conservatives claim to be free marketers, but by forcing companies to end anti-discrimination policies, they put bigotry over profits.

Salut!!!

I understand why it’s the case but it’s very frustrating that so many Elixir libraries don’t support windows without the need to build locally

Update: I can read posts from my notebook, and I can display images. I'm losing my mind resizing them though (I'm using elixir liveview).
On the bright side I get to see all your thumbnails in big!

Testing another approach, still can't read posts though

I'm posting from my own code!

Bree Newsome tweets denying the existence of Project 2025

The horrors of this past week reminded me how batshit insane some of the anti-Dem rhetoric online during the election was, and upon reflection I think this was really a stand out performance from Bree.

A lot of booktok people are here now, so this is a good chance to introduce you to one of my favorite writers.

He’s a BIPOC queer author that deals with the struggle of masking his homosexuality in a postwar society and he REALLY hates American imperialism for what they’ve done to his country.

The lore/worldbuilding discourse is weird to me because it suggests there’s one right answer. The right type of lore is the type of lore that suits the story!

NO DONT SAY THIS NOOOOOOOOOO

Tbh I think the easy prediction on most particularly crazy high profile things Trump proposes is “He will walk right up to the line, extract a meaningless fake concession, then declare victory and seek credit for never stepping over it”

To go a step further, the amount to which conservatives fight to sound normal and like their positions are the default is dwarfed by the extent leftists will go to sound like they’re the most radical and extreme possible

Netanyahu: “You can’t be president of the US last time I checked, but assume you are.”

Elon Musk, interjected: “Not officially.”

Netanyahu responded: “Not officially. OK, so you’re the unofficial president.”

The new government of Syria:

Caed nua

Watch on that thang
