“Our men need jobs”

I don’t know how to break this to you bubba…

Our men need morals

Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of “snowflake,” “trigger warning” or “safe space” discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...

And he lived at a time when bloodletting was still considered good medicine.

That is how ridiculously antiscientific this is.

There's a place near me called Capo's that has the Lasagna Pizza. It's delicious and is currently my favorite.

Do you ever think there was someone at Fox whose whole job was reining in how weird those movies could have gotten?

"Sure, put TV's Fraiser in black leather and blue fur, but cut the scene where he barks a HENRY V monologue. That's a little too far."

Real life spacecraft are famously photographed in plenty of light too.

I'm just wondering how it's continuing to rain but the news keeps implying it will go away, it was already supposed to be gone by today!

"Congratulations! Good job!"

(they shoulda high-fived)

It's not UBI if you make it contingent on ANYTHING. Real UBI is just money to live, basic wealth distribution like peasants have done for millennia because it's BASIC.

I'm never going to understand why I should not love immigrants just as much as I love anyone else. It's like the biggest moral issue of our times for a lot of people and it's totally meaningless. Lemme solve it real quick: line on map doesn't matter, human matters.

Corporate centrists are absolutely obsessed with the idea that defeating fascism is dependent on extremists “coming to their senses” when in reality the people moving away from Trump are becoming more extreme and will radicalize their followers if material conditions aren’t addressed.

a screenshot of a tweet by @unicorn17forev1 on twitter which shows her putting an ema plaque at a shinto shrine: It's only April, and we already have 15 injured players—what the hell I can't laugh at this, it's totally abnormal At this point, all we can do is pray to the gods So I went to a shrine and hung up an *ema* with my wish I should’ve gone before the season started 😞 *Ema means…↓

＊絵馬(Ema)are small wooden plaques at Japanese Shinto shrines. People write wishes or prayers on them and hang them on a rack. The shrine later burns them to send the messages to the gods.

the astros are playing so bad they have japanese fans doing shinto prayers for the starting rotation

The world is feeding you shit. That don't mean you gotta like it & open up & say yum yum. At least take claim to your own humanity & want, basically in your heart, for it to not be this way.

“Is this the Democrats’ Tea Party moment?” No, the Tea Party was an astroturf campaign bankrolled by the Koch brothers, you’re thinking of something else I guess

We Need to Prepare for the Mammoth Task of De-Trumpification The damage he and his cronies have wrought could take decades to repair, particularly when it comes to science and public health.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

It would be nice if, at a moment when academia is under brutal assault from outside forces that are opposed to the very core of its mission, academics weren't so obsessed with self-flagellation.

I don't think enough people know how important Sicario has become in the Dumb Violent Guy canon, this is their version of women who wanted to do Eat Pray Love

there had to be one guy who would show up to the Athenian forum with just the most dogshit stupid ideas and everyone must have hated him

Politicians have to give us everything we want. That's what they're there for. We should want that & never be satisfied with their excuses. This is the richest & most powerful country in the world that can give us all good lives. If you don't think it's your place to make demands, poor you.

They are still relitigating the last election instead of currently laying the groundwork for winning the next one.

And all of the candidates who need non-white supremacist, non-ableist, non-transphobic votes are very busy bashing the marginalized & disenfranchised.

That’s how you lose again.

I have confirmation the SAVE Act died because Senate Republicans knew it would disenfranchise their own voters at much higher rates than Democrats. I wasn’t going crazy.

im sure this is entirely unrelated to the uptick in posts this past week blaming the left for kamala losing

Put simply you can see how they position themselves - the Democrats are not a less progressive version of a leftist, they're third way fascists and the reason they never work with leftists is that they hate leftists more than they hate Nazis.

If you're a liberal now, tbh, they hate you too.

Saying "no man, you don't get to win this time" to evil people who have the power of the entire corrupt government behind them has to feel pretty fucking good

if Ds control congress, they could pass a bill to send people checks, funded by taxing billionaires. let trump veto it if he wants.

include a provision in the bill that trump's name can't be on the checks.
