In today’s current climate, when every whisper of a misplaced hand brings down a feature length film, anyone who actually thinks the military is purposefully covering up rape to save the career of some god damn [captain], is clearly both an idiot and junior enough in rank or life experience to think it matters.

should be clearer exactly what Platner said re sexual assault. this is the quote:

I think that (a) should be disqualifying in itself, and (b) raises serious questions about possible further ugly revelations which could derail his candidacy and hand Collins a senate seat.

this is the clearest black and white picture of how the US is fucked. illegal unprovoked war at the height of financial, healthcare and employment crises by a rogue pedophile president and it has 3/4ths approval from the "opposition" party.

We need normies to be aware of this stuff. Explain in pmain terms how, regardless of how one feels about porn or minors being online, these bills do not protect anyone

KIDS Act Passes Energy and Commerce along Partisan Lines, COPPA 2.0 Postponed Additional bills on kids online safety and cybersecurity passed with bipartisan support

The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced

Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!

like, do you get that we are on the verge of killing the concept of open-source software entirely? when you mandate that "an app" must perform certain functions like ID verification you're in effect declaring that Source cannot be Open (or else users will just fork it to take that shit out)

something not talked about enough with these "protect the children" bills designed to "rein in big tech" is the fact that there is so much Non-Big Tech getting lumped in with Apple and Google. what do you fucking mean you want me to mail my birth certificate to Linux before i can use debian???

If a landlord is that strapped for cash, how the fuck are they paying for the necessary repairs, maintenance needs, etc?

i would contend that if a landlord is so strapped for cash that delaying evictions by 60 days would make them insolvent, they're an extremely bad landlord and should not be one.

I feel like the anti-filler (which is really just anti-episodic) mindset has always been kind of baffling to me because nowadays people want every episode to be some big, plot shaking event. No time for mundane, low stakes storytelling i guess.

stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise.

this was a radicalizing discovery for me.

GOP senator joins police in ejecting anti-war protester from Capitol Hill hearing A Senate Republican assisted several police officers in ejecting a man who interrupted a Capitol Hill hearing on Wednesday to object to the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran.

this is literally right wing propaganda. cbs news cannot be trusted.

My Long Covid came from an infection acquired in a doctor’s office.

Healthcare settings are deadly now.

How is everyone so fucking ok with this???

i have been to the emergency room for a dental abscess. it is a uniquely excruciating kind of pain. this man was tortured to death via medical neglect.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

They actually don't sleep at all since they lack a brain or central nervous system.

Long-COVID Sufferer Awarded Nearly $1M After Employer Refused to Let Her Work From Home | Law.com A jury in Nassau County awarded $954,000 to a longtime employee of Stony Brook University Hospital Blood Bank.

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.

May this set a precedent.

Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.

It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

Have you noticed that people who spend too long chatting with chatbots, stop making any fucking kind of sense?

The reason why is that the bot will never, ever, go "what the fuck are you talking about? What are you even trying to communicate here?"

Oh my god you dipshits stop spreading the link.

None of you even *read* the fucking thing.

I've really come around on Self Inserts. Show me the deepest levels of your Escapism. Show me the most decadent flavors of your self indulgence. Hell yeah your favorite character is going to fall in love with you, you're precious af. A world with no stakes with guaranteed happiness? Hell yeah.

Media’s pro-Western bias is often blatant, sometimes subtle but always omnipresent.
Below is an example of the latter.

Let this serve as a warning to Dems who abandon trans folks and vote for anti trans bills. You will be primaried, and you will lose.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

The ICE death camps are designed to kill.

what are your thoughts re: lizard man

War Is Expensive for the Little People Operation Epic Fury will cost billions that could have been put to much better use

The 3 U.S. jets shot down over Kuwait - each of them w/ a price tag of $97 million- will cost abt “as much as providing 125,000 Americans with crucial food aid or providing healthcare to 100,000 American children …the war might very well end up costing 100 times as much as the price of those jets.”
