Indeed. Complaints about redistricting are invalid. Republicans did it everywhere and invalidated a Constitutional Amendment so they could do it on explicitly racial lines.

There are two choices: use the same levers of power as Republicans do, or let them win. There is no "principled" opposition.

This is goddamn Gold, is what it is

a wizard (why’s pfp), a skeleton minion (Claude) approached “i’ve read through your notifications, they wish to harm you m’lord” close up on the wizard “oh dear… block them all.” the skeleton minion crawls away “yes m’lord, Claude shall block the non-believers, yes…”

Lol, gifted and talented

It isn't my fault they put me in GT classes

You ever find beef between certain people, and basically when you get down to the bottom, it turns out that one person was just living life and the other just got mad about the first for no real reason other than pettiness and spite? Yeah, Instagram is like 99% that all the time

Tweet from @playerinthgame: Society needs to use the Palantir manifesto as a cue to take a big step back and question why journalists, news media, and every other forum have allowed Silicon Valley to opine on everything, not just tech, despite knowing they’re uniquely antipathetic to humans?

Palantir makes database products that help states, cities, companies sort through and analyze mountains of data in a neat little package.
Thiel, who owns Palantir, is a weird little fascist who has delusions of a religious scale, and vast mountains of wealth.
Recipe for disaster.

We really shouldn't! But people can be so ridiculously cruel, and it breaks my heart every time I see it.

You miss 100% of the posts you don't make.

Normalize being kind to children

See but when I do it, it's hilarious

Some of the best games i ever played, love to take an engaging walk around an environment

This but unironically

pain at the pump (crowd boos) is hurting middle class americans (crowd cheers) while we need to curb carbon emissions (crowd boos) i propose a federal gas subsidy (crowd cheers) if you scan your covid vaccination card at the pump (crowd boos)

Oh, Texas. My dear homeland. How far you have fallen. Its a shame you want to kill me and destroy my profession. I do miss the barbecue.

Heya, I just want you to know that I think your artistic skill and output has only gotten better and stronger in quality. I also understand the struggle, seeing others succeed while you seemingly lag behind. It sucks. Infinite compassion for you. Much love.

"How often do you talk to POC trans women, huh?"

Fair point. Well taken. But also: I do not talk much to other trans women in general. Because I do not live in a large city. I live in the country. I do not know ANY trans women who live near me. The nearest hub is an hour away.

All glory to Gonzo

Exactly! I was on board with most of it! But they simply could not be bothered to stick the landing, and it really sucks.

Ok but you see, had they said like, gender nonconforming, or queer, or something like that? that's not as much a problem. To get right up to the edge of it and say "whatever" feels extremely dismissive and not interested in actually listening to us.

(I agree, though, gonzo is an nb icon)

They probably did not mean it in any way other than to be inclusive, but in the process came off as tone-deaf and dismissive. It happens. Frequently. I don't want to be like this, like "wah wah, poor me," but it gets tiresome when it keeps happening.

Doing a denominational training course. One of the people, in talking about intentional inclusivity said the phrase, "You might have power as cisgendered, but you might not have power as LGB or whatever."

OR WHATEVER??

The opposite of "cis" is not "LGB or whatever."

A bunch of teens decide to use a cursed pack of tarot cards, and then are killed by the major arcana based on the cards they drew. Solid setup! INFURIATING EXECUTION. By the end, almost nothing mattered at all.

Aw buddy 🫂

the president is committing war crimes, once eradicated diseases have returned, immigrants are being disappeared, concentration camps are back, billionaires are murdering communities with data centers, abortion is criminalized, and trans people are being erased, but at least robots can run marathons

Tarot genuinely made me want to throw my TV into the river

1) People freak out about trans women but this is okay???
2) so, um, what, we're going to replace runners like we are trying to replace artists and writers?
3) Why are we building these and not robots that can, you know, do something useful?

i'm not sure how to live in a country in which the murder of eight children doesn't ... stop everything

Daisy Ridley’s Instagram Story: “The death sentences of 12,000 Palestinian prisoners have been approved. 4,000 of them are children. For wanting to live in their homeland and for defending their occupied territories, a total of 400,000 Palestinians have been martyred over the past 78 years. Now, 12,000 more people will be executed in full view of the world. The executions will take place within 90 days. Please don't be silent. If humanity doesn't rise up today, when will it? If we don't show our humanity today, when will we? Please don't stay silent. Share. Oppose these executions...”
