It's so crazy we live in a world where female athletes are striking for better wages and dodging sex toys being thrown at them, while trans athletes are being accused of evil scheming so they can play women's sports, which pays well and is highly dignified. It's almost like someone's full of shit

The sun delivers more energy to the Earth in one hour than all of humanity consumes in a whole year. In 2024, solar power alone accounted for over 60% of all new electricity generation in the United States.
Yet the Trump Administration is moving to defund the fastest-growing source of electricity.

Among the things we are going to look back on and realize we needed to do to help stave off authoritarianism was DC statehood. Lots of regrets when you lose a democracy, but this will be one of the big ones for us.

AI filmmaking and storytelling is punk rock. Itβs hip hop. Itβs counterculture. Itβs a new type of creativity. Itβs a new medium. Itβs hated by the mainstream film and art establishment. It resists ideology. It ignores gate keeping. Itβs uncomfortable. Itβs scary. Itβs viral. Itβs accessible. Itβs refreshing. Itβs welcoming. Itβs here.
AI filmmaking is peeing. Itβs pooping. Itβs throwing up. Itβs a new kind of liquid coming out. Itβs hated by the establishment. Itβs what goes in the toilet. Itβs wet. Itβs whatβs in the bathroom.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Massachusetts police training materials identify Moms for Liberty as a hate group | Fox News Video
Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich reacts to news that a training manual for Massachusetts police officers has identified her organization as a hate group.
M4L is running with this story and claiming *they* are under threat while continuing to target librarians and educators for harassment, firing, and arreat for doing the same jobs, the same work we always have.
Because they *are* in fact a hate group.
