it is not interested in plot, it is not interested in worldbuilding, it is not interested in anything except throwing random disconnected snapshots of nostalgia at you

rise of skywalker kicks over the sandbox and leaves you uninterested in star wars in a way the prequels never did

Killer rhetoric 🫡

Man, you absolutely know you’re talking out of your ass here. I’d expect a self-described “rhetorician“ (lol) to know something about English, but we’d do I know? I’m just an English teacher.

Just take the L and move on

You did not learn English very well

Most a means “at least half.” Every English speaker knows this, except, apparently, you

OH MY GOD IS THIS SATIRE

Please tell me there are screenshots

I saw Batman v Superman on a plane and was still furious

Elder trans here living in CA. I'll do all I can to make sure someone better is the nominee but w/o question will vote for him if he is. Your last sentence is an absolute lie, completely divorced from reality. You aren't doing any trans person favors peddling this bs. YOU are hurting us.

Being placed in a social environment where the key to popularity is never upsetting a bunch of tankies has had dire, if predictable, effects on a lot of you

Watching the Bluesky Elite settle into the position “you are not allowed to criticize left-wing electoral abstentionism, even now” makes me realize that one of the best things to happen to progressives would be Bluesky dying completely

AAA should run for office

Nations will crumble from within cause a guy believed svetlana was into him

Awful that they're trying to smear Mamdani and the entire DSA with this, but the international committee has been a tankie haven for ages. Just disgraceful that they're taking state-organized junkets to the Uyghur region

I think a lot of the elite talking head scorn here is not so much about being pro-rape as it is being arrogant, elite, entitled: WE are the taste-makers, WE dictate what should be talked about and who is in and out, how DARE the hoi-polloi think they can dictate to us.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

We’re lucky white suprematists are so stupid

Ok, but who’s going enforce your endless screaming?

Sorry, I’ll see myself out…

@barackobama.bsky.social this is a war of attrition against Dear Leader and you can actually do some serious damage on a daily basis if you're willing to accept the indignity of the situation.

He will absolutely watch.

the federal government is nearly universally staffed with people who are so dedicated to caring about their neighbors that they volunteer to take a steep pay cut and absurd job instability just to be able to help make your life better without any expectation of thanks

consider my ass and my hole

That’s happened to me! They can do it with subscriptions. You have to close the account entirely t get the desired effect. I’ve even had subscriptions go through when my card was locked!

1) welcome back, Sky

1a) fuck that sad trombone Karl guy, seriously, if you haven’t blocked him go do it now

2) fuck gambling almost entirely, we need to RETVRN to destination dens of sin

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

This is sickening. The people who did this need to go to prison.

She’s already got my vote!

If this is not Kakistocracy I don't know what is.

I know it's of Greek origin, but I just want to say that in Hebrew "Kaki" means poo poo, and I believe it is so much better.

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever.

A thread.

Also: the very normal, non-radical, everyday people who make up 95% of rapid response in MN will never, ever agree to some kind of code of omerta around random arson. Dads standing in front of schools do not want to turn their cameras off when someone lights the neighborhood on fire.

The demand is “ICE OUT” and the tactic is filming ICE and getting media attention on their violence. It is not a mass movement for “put your cameras away, I’m about to start a fire and filming might get me in trouble.”
