Fuck off. The people who bring down regimes aren't the professional malcontents that everyone ignores. It's the grandmothers and librarians and tradesmen who are fucking sick of this shit.

To be frank, the fetishization of protest tactics and personal/information security theater (theater is a load bearing word) is the leftist version of the Cult of the Operator

it is safe for mass politics or it is not. it is safe for a normal person to attend a mass protest or it is not. there is no world in which tradecraft shit is necessary or useful for attending a large non-violent protest in which people like my mom are attending protests.

Social posts made under the guise of staying safe but actually greatly exaggerating the personal danger of protesting delenda est

there is no difference between 2 & 3 in any way that matters lol. your average normie potential protest attendee is going to hear 2 and think, if they believe you, correctly think "this is a dangerous protest". like basic information hygiene is one thing, don't use your work email, but come on lol.

anyway go valks it's all about the VALKS

One of my most moral panic style opinions is the use of “NPC” as a slur is a symptom of a societal sociopathy epidemic.

Yes, absolutely, Kieran winning supporting was category fraud, but if he’d been campaigned in lead, he would have lost to an AI Hungarian accent, and that would’ve been a much, much worse shame

It ain’t housing, go NIMBYs go

Insane that people dislike tomatoes. Disliking onions is normal. Tomatoes? Are you from mars?

Tomatoes my beloveds, my actual favorite food

Standing tall at 14 over here. I even like some of em (half•alive e.g. are a nice cute lil undercard band but wouldn’t be your thing)!

When are we gonna talk about how everyone who’s ever insinuated that Mike Yastrzemski was a bad player was doing Mike Yastrzemski rpf because it was fiction from a fan about a real person

Excuse you, Peach is a young, unmarried woman; just by numbers that’s the much less likely outcome

(No one wants to hear it but Mario voted for Trump at least twice and maybe even three times)

They! Did!! Not!!! Equivocate!!!! EVERYONE!!!!!

"A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world.”

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

The accessible American mid-level state school with a 60%+ admissions rate that still is able to go round for round with everything but the absolute best universities that the rest of world has to offer is a world-historic triumph that these fucking clowns are burning down due to their ivy neuroses

Tyler Rogers leads all qualified relievers with an 8.50 SO/W rate. His 6.75 K/9 is among the lowest among relievers.

I don't think Trump plots like a super villain to distract us, but I think he does get frustrated when he's getting bad coverage and upset he lashes out at people and things because he's a big baby who's shit his pants and its everyone's fault

Drawing on Ukrainian Republican Roots The egalitarian history of Ukrainian identity.

Both the Ukrainian right and the Russian propaganda machine have tried to brand Ukrainian national identity as inherently tied up in right wing politics, but @vlstarodubtsev.bsky.social argues here that there is a deep egalitarian current in the development of that identity

For complete effect you need the tracksuit to be beige, the 50th birthday gift my (Old Jewish Man) dad’s mom gave each of her kids

Fake website servic welcome page. text reads: "Your favorite tool is now ruined by AI" "you might not like it but shareholders love it"

when you open a service you've been using for a decade only to find it out it caught the virus

I am so sorry but this is a gefilte fish hate account

Cleveland is a magical delicious place fie on anyone who speaks ill of it

I cant stop thinking about that little maga girl in indy going “who wants to go to detroit or cleveland” youre from missouri playing in indiana be so serious

I find the flipping between ‘I a Hardcore Radical, am willing to Do What It Takes, unlike you feckless weaklings’ and this pearl clutching ‘people will be Hurt, How Dare You Say That?!’ shit so contemptible.

coaching staff killed a rally and then the giants did what they do best, just another game for them

I get not being doom filled but I do think people need to realize that sure if Dems win in 2028 we can reverse a lot of this but you can’t bring back dead people and undo the trauma R’s caused or the economic hell of losing your job or house

I want every state with a housing shortage (which is to say most states) to have leaders like @scottwiener.bsky.social and @buffywicks.bsky.social
