Imagine buying that rolling dumpster called a Cybertruck, then creating a rap about it, and this to be the response. Musk has no interest in attracting normal customers, he really just wants the sycophants

We've known Tesla could do this to their vehicles for years so I don't feel sorry for this cybertruck douchebag

Also seems relevant that they are generally comprised of nerds who won’t stand up for themselves

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.

He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.

Speechless.

Missouri Democratic lawmakers are in such a superminority that they don’t even need to show up for laws to be passed in this state.

An even sadder statement? A piece of legislation can go from the House to the Senate to becoming a law on the Governor’s desk while never being signed by a woman.

Would 100% watch a sitcom in which Cuomo and Dershowitz end up roommates, Dershowitz is denied a pierogi every episode in exactly the same way, and Cuomo runs for successively lower-stakes office each week, only to lose again.

Liberal elites are hellbent on indoctrinating our children. This PragerU Kids video proves it.

Hear me out here... If a member of the government believes that the government should disenfranchise voters on the basis of sex or race, they shouldn't be a member of the government anymore.

I have never wanted to tell someone to take their own grandfather's name out their mouth more.

I'm past parsing for my non-expletive brain parts, so seriously what the fuck. This is one of those articles you start reading and say "he's not dumb enough to fall for that" and then you read down one line. He is that dumb, we are that screwed.

No, I really enjoy logging on to find out that I'm privileged because I think Democrat candidates should fight for minorities. It's an A+Internet experience.
You're really swaying me to the side of the transphobia, there. You're really convincing me.
/S in case it needed to be said.

I don't know what makes your cis-het self think you know me well enough to assume my privilege, but I'm swinging for the people who don't have any. I don't know what your problem is, I actively don't care, and now I'm removing you from my life. Thanks for playing.

I was never voting for him, and I'm not voting for Newsom, so maybe y'all should think about why Dem-leaning voters don't want your Republican lite. Don't cede the ground on this shit. It doesn't protect women, it doesn't make sports fair, it just punishes a minority for no good reason.

Oh hell no. My mom still doesn't discuss bras with me because it was such a traumatizing experience for us.

always a tremendous relief when I've started reading something that's getting on my nerves and I hit a paywall. you're right, paywall. I should stop reading. hours of my life saved from reading stuff that's only going to piss me off

Nonviolence protects the state. Not the people.

3. Last month 100,000 people attended London Trans Pride. It was probably the largest gathering of trans and non-binary people in human history.

The media ignored it, and ignored our demands, demands that a cis acquaintance said were actually over-reasonable and quite mild…

Before you see a hundred or so posts saying that Texas has issued arrest warrants for the absent Dem legislators, you should be aware that they are civil warrants issued by the House that are not effective outside the state

The linguists are gonna have a few words about the origins and spread of slang, but there's a neat little history lesson in the comments about the theft or reassignment of primarily Black slang - sometimes arbitrarily, sometimes purposefully.

The main rationale offered for this fundraising frenzy is that it's a necessary evil—that the tactics, while unpleasant, are brutally effective at raising the money needed to win. But that’s a lie. A fundraising model with a 1.6% efficiency rate is not a pragmatic fundraising strategy.

Anyways, I respond to every one of these texts (I've received 13 in the last five days) by asking what they've done that makes them think they've earned my support, and then I mark them as spam.

The text messages have begun in earnest. My first reaction was to ask what the Dems have done to deserve a single penny of my money in the current climes? My second was to ask what the goal was, because if it was to gain votes in order to gain power, this was wildly counterproductive.

It never really jibed with me. I've cobbled together some stuff from watching Stephen King/other authors talk about their process, but also I pulled out my old Writer's Inc books from way back and poked in some of those chapters I skimmed in middle school. Everyone's got their own method ❤️

Not enough people talk about how the worst part of writing is in organizing it. I can slapdash something together, but I really want people to read it, and sign posting throughout is a good way to do that.
Fwiw, STC beat sheets can be too rigid for some people.

This non-American documentary just referred to Los Angeles as part of the southern United States and...
😬

i think the correct way to think about the lonely boy question is not "how do we reach out to incels?" but "how do we make sure that a teenage boy looking for romantic advice isn't flooded with right-wing propaganda?"

My sister wants to know *for research purposes* if a citizen group can contact NATO to complain about a Russian takeover of the government in the USA. I suggested the UN as a stateless nation, but she just wants some hypotheses.

Every time I read one of these recipes, I wonder how they weren't my grandmother's villain origin story

Oh good because I thought I was having a second stroke.
