the premise of that transphobic in defense of effeminate gay boys article is so obviously stupid and self defeating that i cant stop laughing. "imagine if people told gay boys they were women" what. if drinking water made you have to pee

I'm not meaning to presume you aren't aware of how fandom works, I'm making a joke saying that if you allow yourself to experience enough ridiculous claims you stop caring. Sorry if it appeared that way.

It gets better eventually. I've been exposed to so much ragebait that it no longer affects me. The Hemingway comparison gimmick passes over and through me

99% of radlibs stop harassing trans women right before they harass enough to create the dictatorship of the proletariat

Lenin lays out that super-monopoly is the inevitable end result of capitalism, and this acquisition by Paramount of Warner Brothers brings us to a media landscape almost totally dominated by two major players, one rabidly fascist, the other a corporation disinterested in art.

RE9 post? Did they see that House Beneviento was popular so they just did it again but too much

I used to be subscribed to Jamelle Bouie's YouTube and I would always watch his videos fully looking forward to the moment he made a novel observation, or a particularly thought-provoking argument, or said anything interesting, and so I'd wait, and wait, and wait, and then the video would end

I've found that being in an organization is actually somewhat helpful in this regard because it forces you to focus on what around you you have agency over and can change. You can't stop ICE from existing as one person; you *can* deliver groceries to immigrant families too scared to get them, etc

...trying to pass reforms to help the working class, which is a band-aid but is certainly better than the alternative.

Considering the state of many of our state level representatives, I assure you you have nothing to feel bad about. If you thought Platner was odious, wait until you hear about Jared Golden.

Stuff is better at the local level, though. Plenty of people that are actually interested in...

Let it be clear that I do not feel bad saying that!

...successfully promoting much of a strong image or platform, so she's primarily been coasting off of Blue No Matter Who libs' support. The only thing I've seen from Collins are incessant YouTube ads that ask you to call and thank her for her actions in her previous Senate terms. Not a joke!

...his messaging. Ads, speech material, etc. Very working-class, union centered stuff, which plays pretty well here. Because he is so accessible, you'd also have plenty of opportunities to see it in person.

3.) Mills' and Collins' campaigns are low-key pretty terrible! Mills hasn't been...

...politically engaged and want to meet Graham Platner, you've met Graham Platner, and if you haven't, you probably know someone who has, and they only have good things to say.

2.) Especially if you're 'offline,' that is, off of Bluesky, specifically, most of what you're seeing of Platner is...

Live in Maine. Not a fan, but I know why people like him.

1.) He's very accessible -- shows up at all flavor of public events, protests, etc. He's shown up to University of Maine twice, Bangor (smaller urban town), Portland (larger urban town), etc. Chances are if you're...

snarkety @snartkety.bsky.social The part of your brain that allows you to process potential consequences in real time doesn't fully develop until your mid twenties. That's why they recruit teenagers. 8:39 AM • Mar 1, 2026

Do Black actual kids and young men get to leverage this kinda science for grace or do they get and often life-ending merciless consequences?

Could be misreading what you're trying to say here but that doesn't square evenly. Yes, you do not say "I believe the American left should not condemn the military for strategic purposes," but by calling it a 'political trap' you are saying that it would be wrong not to do so, no?

[chanting] TENANTS UNION TENANTS UNION

Veneration of the military is a cultic practice used to insulate the state from the banal reality that the primary purpose of the army is murdering brown people and smashing leftist political movements.

things every democratic president of your lifetime has done:
nothing to undo the damages republican predecessors did.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Ideological agreement on the subjugation of women is the product -- who gives a fuck about making a good film, or even a profitable one? The point is saying "we can hire guys with rape allegations and get away with it."

Vajra Chandrasekera post reading: "That argument exists because the lives of non-white people are cheap in imperial discourse. Mass death on the other side of the world has no reality outside of what space it takes up on the American TV news cycle. If it were otherwise, the old normal would have been insupportable as the new."

Cont: "The millions killed by US/European sanctions alone in recent decades -- I mean not even counting the wars and the bombings -- aren't usually counted as the death toll of a great war. In fact, they don't even rise to the level of "distraction." Mass death is just the background noise of late capitalism.

Respectfully disagree, I think Vajra Chandrasekera had a good perspective on this

Anyone who tells you this benefits you is getting paid to. Do not believe them.

As war spreads like a cancer across the Middle East, driven by Israel and the United States, we cannot forget our brothers and sisters in Gaza. Please give what you can.

Incredible stipulation. "If she started another forever war, she'd have asked permission first!"

The last time Landis was involved in anything anyone saw it was during the Obama administration and it was him putting his name on Josh Trank's film. Why are we hiring this guy again?

Well, at least he isn't horrific to work with. Hm? What's that? I see. Well, at least he makes films that are worth seeing. Hm? What's that? I see. Well, at lea

Marx famously hated private property, though? I'm a bit confused
