There is a bias among pundits to eye-roll and dismiss Dem opposition to Trump (such as the No Kings protests) as predictable. But in terms of raw numbers (both events and participants), what we're seeing is much bigger than e.g. the Tea Party movement was. Dems are a high entropy system right now
once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system
I know we've worked hard to move history ed away from names and dates but I think we might need to swing back to chronology a bit because "who was president on january 8 2021?" and "which came first, the clinical description of autism or tylenol?" shouldn't be this hard, especially for reporters.
I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches
Death be not proud. Or dignified.
Facebook post from the Charlie Kirk assassin's mom from Christmas of 2013: "almost forgot Tyler! He can totally avoid us now that he got all of the computer accessories he's been wanting." And a picture of her son on a laptop with headphones in
you could write an entire book about this post and I will for the right price
Tyler Robinson will be out of the news by Monday.
Right wing which dominates media and politics and power is already gaslighting their audience and still blaming "the left."
You can't shame shameless people who are committed to an extremist authoritarian project.
New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.
If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.
It's just a question of political will.
Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.
Never not amazing when for all the money and power law agencies are given, they go on tv with a shrug and say “look, American public, you really gotta help us out on this one”
Whatever the killer’s motives, it is clear that political violence is a problem that extends across ideology. Prominent conservatives, moderates and liberals have all been victims in recent years.
It's worth asking why every elite institution is issuing statements like this rather than pointing out the obvious fact that the institutional right commits and glorifies violence far more than the left. Is there a reason you feel you can't say that out loud?

I said this last night!
Talarico and Texas Dems break quorum to Halt Gerrymandering Vote.
The scanner is constantly giving me the price of a tabby cat since it's one big bar code.
Trump's new executive order about AI states that companies' models must not incorporate the idea that trans people exist as a concept. Seems bad.
do these guys realize they are just signing up for a recurring subscription
The world is very bad, but I found a squirrel that looks like Napoleon
Man after 4 years on Mastodon I can’t get used to Bsky. Composed an eloquent, earnest, heartfelt post about birds and flowers and how much I fucking hate everything, but it turns out there’s a dadgum character limit here. Le —as we used to say — sigh
Not the point, but who “dips” bacon? And into what?
Delighted to see that Superman, a completely fictional guy who wears his underwear on the outside, is “arousing teutonic anger”
I saw on PBS that there are some cool sea-worms down there.
When I say most people are good and we are going to beat these fascists, people like this woman are why I feel so confident:
“The message that it sent was very clear: For us to be afraid to come back and do the work that we’re doing,” Mendez said.
Stone, however, said she would volunteer again.”
All heist movies are the same because all movies, generally, are the same. There are only a few allowable subjects: heist, romance, male super-spy, male superhero, male captain of the starship, and elves (also male)
never in the history of heist movies have we needed a 2 and a half hour long heist action movie. i feel like the true heist is them absconding with my time
You too! It’s been a minute!
I was embarrassingly late to the anti-terf game. I’d been indoctrinated by a radfem terf at a tender age, and it took some major schoolin’ by the blog’s more enlightened commentariat to set me straight. Forever grateful for their emotional labor and insight.
