The bird says, "Abolish ICE"

They did, the technology is basically a miracle, their potential is almost limitless, and the scientific community holds consensus on this, but on the other hand, a handful of willfully stupid people who flunked grade-school biology think four letters are very scary, so who can say what’s right?

A Democratic Party with any spirit would stage a press conference every single day to present Donald Trump with one sarcastic award after another.

Photo of a page from Omar El Akkad's ONE DAY EVERYONE WILL ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AGAINST THIS that reads: The obvious charge of hypocrisy looms over this work, always. Refrain from engaging with one organization because of its ties to a genocide but not the uncountable number of other organizations who do as well? Call for divestment from fossil fuel companies and yet still use electricity? Agitate for a better world in any way and yet continue to exist within it? The purpose of this kind of accusation is never moral concern. To be accused of speaking too loudly about one injustice but not others by someone who doesn't care about any of them is to be told, simply, to keep quiet.

Hmmm... I wonder if I could find this and reskin it as a Brütal Legend RPG...

Jewitches was raging about someone saying: “How is it Palestine if the P sound doesn’t exist in Arabic?”

And I share her reaction of—hey asshole, J doesn’t exist in Hebrew and that doesn’t stop the words Jewish, Judah, Jerusalem, Jeremiah, etc.

Okay, I've deleted my earlier post. Apparently, this is *not* a pipe. But the fact that I thought it was says a lot about society.

Yeah, it seems like the real Democrat Project 2026 is:

1) Capitulate to Republicans on everything

2) Throw trans people under the bus

3) Yell at anyone who disagrees with the first two points

4) Wonder why nobody likes us

I always thought it was named that because it was a way for espresso shops to emulate American-style drip coffee.

I've bought stuff off of Spreadshirt before, and the quality seems decent. No idea what the experience is like for sellers though.

This Sunday, we’re hosting a back to school drive in Evanston with 500 free backpacks, all-day free haircuts, and free food by two of the best restaurants in Evanston!

Drop by the Fleetwood-Jourdain Center this Sunday afternoon to start the school year with everything you need!

Yeah, I was kinda being silly, but you're right. "Dolls" is perfectly cromulent for any gender.

Thanks for the reminder that it's not just the dolls we need to protect, it's also the...

Action figures?

Does "action figures" work here?

It's like vanilla, in that it's become so common that we've collectively forgotten how distinct it actually is.

Schumer is a stone cold weirdo and NY deserves better.

They thoughtlessly contributed to the stupidity and evil of the right, so why wouldn't I?

Seriously, their "satire" is indistinguishable from right wing propaganda that is now fueling anti-trans panic across the country, and has infested both major political parties. Why shouldn't I blame them?

They’re literally saying this and people are ignoring it because they don’t want to appear “woke.”

ugggh

Hochul is a bit of a Newsom-lite. Many BAD TAKES leavened by periodic strong opposition to Trump.

Newsom is a straight up bigot and podcast-friend-of-fascists, though. As far as I've seen, Hochul has avoided that thus far, to her credit.

It's not effective satire when they basically made Ladyballers 4 years before the Daily Wire did.

so, in the course of a month, the New York Times reassigned four veteran critics, the Washington Post’s film critic took a buyout, Vanity Fair decided it doesn’t need a film critic at all, and the Associated Press got rid of book criticism altogether?

Cool.

Reskeet with a tweet you still think about

The problem is, they were just echoing the right wing propaganda, not mocking it. That is how the right wing sees every trans woman in sports.

I used to be a regular on the Fark politics tab, and any time the discussion turned to trans athletes, some RW dick would post a screen cap from that ep.

I fell off of South Park a long, looooong time ago, but the thing I will never forgive them for is their trans sports episode. If I never see a screen cap from that episode again, it will be too soon.

I'd take him over Newsom. At least I don't think he'd sell out trans people or homeless people.

I mean, there's Penguin. Dude just wants to be king of the underworld and collect umbrellas and exotic birds.

South Korea didn’t stop at charging former president Yoon with insurrection; they’ve also arrested his wife on corruption charges, including stock fraud, bribery, and influence peddling.

America, this is what democracy looks like.

Lead used to be one of the key ingredients in pewter. It was only phased out fairly recently - 90s or 2000s, I think?

This Restaurant Never Existed and I Proved It We’ll get to the restaurant but first we must understand its namesake.

It's not. But like Stevie Nicks' Fajita Roundup, it's still real to me, damnit.
