sorry to the 86 people who blocked me for reasons other than vivisection apologia but appreciate that you just chose to ignore my existence than torment me for sport

just to clear the air, i am not a proponent of research that causes harm to animals, i think we should do less of that where possible. all right cool, no reason to hate me anymore.

screenshot from ClearSky showing that I've been added to a "Vivisectionists and their apologists" block list lmao

it's pretty funny that the only block list i've ended up on is for being a "vivisectionist apologist", a status i did not know existed until right now

i think you mean fearmaxxing

i agree, but i do think a lot of media types give a pass to trump more so than even your average republican. if the 2028 R primaries involved a republican who talks like trump and one who talks like biden, we can guess which one journalists would implicitly favor.

people are dying in ice detention camps because some white guy named ross, who used his family connections to score a job at the new york times, really dislikes filler words because they remind him of awkward book report days in elementary school and he's built his politics around that fact

between AOC and Biden, i really do think a lot of political journos are petty mfers who have a visceral resentment toward speech pauses and prefer trump because he confidently fills space with words, even if 90% of those words are bullshit

this is beautiful to see but it's really so funny that magas go on and on about white supremacy when their favorite type of person - a white straight christian man from a rural american town - is basically absent from globally significant events. all they can do is podcast and post, it seems. sad.

fair, dinobite could be a hilarious 3/10 movie

you're laughing? a movie executive is reading this story and thinking up a script for a terrible horror film called DINOBITE and you're laughing?

magas are people trying to convince the public that eating soup with a spoon is elitist because george soros likes using spoons and that's why you should throw out all your spoons and exclusively buy maga-branded FREEDOM TOOLS which are just cheap sporks that explode at random

as @goldwagnathan.bsky.social has pointed out several times, liberal democracy is now treated as the default because it's been so relatively successful as a social technology, not because of some elite conspiracy. it's like thinking there's a conspiracy to everyone eating soup with a spoon.

exhibit A in 'person uses big words to mask a bad argument'. the modest claim that "international relations" orgs overrepresent well-connected families (yeah sure) is used to justify the controversial claim that liberal democracy writ large is 'captured' and undesirable. basic motte-and-bailey.

shouldn't this be called idk 'sanding'

What are you saying, Trump is gonna build the best habitats (a golden ballroom) for the best humans (Donald Trump)

One prevalent form of privilege that Trump enjoys is people treating his ignorance as totally sincere - not unlike a middle schooler struggling to grasp algebra - rather than as a shield meant to deflect from very intentional malice

is this just "I don't want THOSE people moving in" but leftistly or am I missing something

I wouldn't call 'sincere expression' a passion really more like a hobby or maybe even just a curiosity

husted more like busted amirite

the hot tub validates humanity’s inherent desire to become stew

If you're not peeling each potato and waiting for your stew to boil on your makeshift stove (built from stray wood you had to collect and whittle) while keeping an eye out for hungry direwolves are you even survivin'

Trump's not gonna let Joe Biden do a better Carter trajectory than him

Turns out shitposting and whining can get you into office, but can't secure an authoritarian crackdown

I am struggling to imagine why this would be offensive. Are people mad they're helping to fund a charity
