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.

I think we should just go ahead and formally abolish the Senate, because this current thing where they don't do their jobs but draw a paycheck isn't really working for me

The NYT quoted Pinker saying the disability label "is being stretched into meaninglessness." They identified him as "a Harvard professor of psychology." That's it.

No other context like, "guy willing to redefine words to enable Epstein to keep raping children"

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken

Mind you they are trying to get 8 year olds to use this shit for their schoolwork. I’m sorry but I am no longer willing to extend the benefit of the doubt to anyone pushing LLMs. You know what you’re doing and if hell is real that’s where you’re going.

My idea for a yarn mane worked! I love her madly, obviously. I have so much rainbow yarn and I am about to use ALL OF IT lol (a little longer next time though, I think) 🧢 #3Dprinting

both the msm and too many liberals ignore the fact that religious black voters, particularly regular churchgoing black women, are the core of the democratic party. without that demo, the democratic party literally ceases to exist.

An intricate octopus cut from a single piece of paper

An intricate octopus cut from a single piece of paper

Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as β€œcut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.

β€œImagine this not-true scenario, aren’t you mad?”

I mean, no, because I have real problems and so does everyone I’m in community with, maybe you should try that and then see how much time you have for fanfic about people you know nothing about

This isn’t the point but the way certain people can only conceive of people and their relationship to them as their place in the β€œsocial hierarchy” is exhausting

Why are so many people acting like any of this is normal?

2 hours of voting ballots are being held and probably won’t be counted.

People literally had their right to cast their vote taken away and alleged democrats are taking victory laps because Black Voters were disenfranchised?

the only way a body type can become a "trend" is if the body itself is considered a consumable good, like a pair of jeans

how about we...not do that

Yeah and those emails are also not unusual in my line of work! Add in ADHD and kids and just like, THE WORLD making it hard to focus and honestly I’m kind of surprised I haven’t got got yet 😭

Someone was β€œworking their way through guild contacts” with an invite to a special celebration, which isn’t unusual in a weaving guild honestly so I might not have thought that much about clicking on it. Not great!

When someone says β€žScientists do not want you to knowβ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

I actually think Talarico needs to join a lawsuit with Crockett . Unity is the only way forward. If he wins but loses Black Texas voters, then he loses the general.

So what was all that GOP crowing that Crockett would be the easier candidate to beat? They never believed that. They were terrified.
