Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.
Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history
The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds.
Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.
"Viewpoint diversity" always seems to mean "more conservatives and libertarians." No one ever hires Marxists in economics departments for "viewpoint diversity." www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...
"All I did was use my massive, national platform to repeatedly say these people are subhuman! You can hardly blame ME if a bunch of people felt encouraged to treat that same group of people as subhuman."
chosenness is not racial superiority. It is a fucking job. We were assigned extra work. If you are jealous of our chosenness then convert to Judaism and take on the yoke of the mitzvot yourself. You won’t be an inherently superior person, but you will have a lot more shit to do.
So once again a man started a wildly successful harassment campaign against a female celebrity who didn’t actually do anything and the internet swallowed it full throated, and the whole thing is revealed to be concocted horseshit he can’t muster anything more than “sorry that happened I guess”
Games like darts, billiards, bowling and chess completely give away what's going on.
The ONLY reason to segregate these sports by sex in the first place is because men cannot emotionally handle losing to women.
The ONLY reason to lock out trans people is bigotry.
me when someone cites the deep magic to me even though I was there when it was written: holy shit, for real? I don't remember that part at all
Stopped by the grocery store before work this morning and was reminded why I usually get delivery. The ambient inoffensive-old-timer-music they play apparently now includes Garbage, "I'm Only Happy When It Rains."
Pour your misery down on me, indeed 😭
The fact that the target audience for this harry potter show (transphobes) have also turned out to be universally racist about it is not a coincidence and shouldn't be a shock to any the creative team.
I'm asking Europeans to be normal about the dynamics of American protests.
The Coordination Rurale in France can dump manure in Paris because CR are far right nationalists who have a tacit agreement with the state.
Like MAGA can storm our Capitol without being mowed down and slaughtered.
A screenshot of a Facebook post by CBS 2 Boise. The post text reads: "A new state law required the City of Boise to take down the Pride flag outside City Hall. Tuesday morning, the City wrapped flag poles in Pride colors and added a new sign to the window on City Hall. CBS2 reached out to the Mayor and Governor’s office for comment." Below the text is a collage of three photos showing these updates: Left: A tall metallic flagpole in a plaza at night, with its lower section wrapped in horizontal stripes matching the colors of the Progress Pride flag (black, brown, light blue, pink, white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). Top Right: A closer view of a flagpole base, also wrapped in horizontal Progress Pride flag colors. Bottom Right: A large window on City Hall featuring a graphic with diagonal stripes in the Progress Pride colors alongside the text, "Creating a city for everyone."
Oh, this is good. Idaho passed a bill banning local cities from flying the Pride flag. So the cities decided to wrap the poles themselves in pride colors.
This is amazing.
To pretend that nuclear deployment is the limitation of the threat — that, if a nuclear weapon is not deployed, we have somehow won something crucial — is to miss the point. The U.S. and Israel have already inflicted mass death upon Iran in the form of conventional missiles.
losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes sounds nice
I know that isn't SPAIN talking shit...
I think this argument is correct, but even if it weren't, it'd still be the most fiscally responsible decision to give access to transpo.
Why? Because means testing invariably costs more than just including people in the service. We've seen this with school programs for years.
Just found out Alison Brie is playing Evil-Lyn and I've gone from "I can wait to see this on streaming" to "Evil-Lyn solo film NOW!"
Doctor Who "Don't you think she looks tired?"
great speech sir
Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content.
"I will not comply."
They sacked her and cops escorted her out.
She's a hero. This banned author just donated.
For those of us who are clinically and incurably gullible April 1st is an absolute curse!!!!
I also need vanilla cis people to grasp that having a sissification kink does not make the dude a trans woman. Being transgender is not a kink. Having a crossdressing + humiliation kink is not the same as being trans. A lot of y'all are hanging your whole ass out there on this.
this book has been up for one day and is already ON FIRE! help us get this thing to print and get a SICK ASS BOOK!
Finally!

And of course, rather than learning anything from that ambiguity, it will instead almost certainly be weaponized along racial lines as well as against trans people, as strict gender norms always have been.
🧵Grateful that @ezralevin.bsky.social clarified when people *actually* started protesting DJT 2.0.
