Sec. Hegseth: "It's Just Gay" To Require Our Warriors To Wash Hands After Using The Bathroom

Like... I'm sorry, but to win future elections, you need a good chunk of the people who sat out in 2016 or 2024 to vote for you, and I just don't think that sneering at them and saying it's their fault that things are the way they are right now is going to win them over, even if you truly believe it

Ronald Reagan getting shot

Just fixed one small thing.

The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of:

“people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”

"becoming" ahaha

dude's colossally unethical, that means R in practice even if not in literal affiliation

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

a still image from the animated show The Tick, from the episode "Armless But Not Harmless". pictured are The Tick (R), a muscle-bound, blue, human-shaped hero, and his sidekick Arthur (L), a middle aged, slightly paunchy man in a white body suit. Both have antennae, The Tick's being shorter and insect-inspired, while Arthur's are large and moth-like. Both, however, are staring at the ground, where their arms lay.

someone should have spoken up about how donald trump would be a bad president. but nobody did. and now, we pay the price...

is it because he's in a cult

who would win in a fight between the thing on the cover of Arise and the thing on the cover of The Mollusk

often I will fully be live, streaming on Twitch, and still get advertisements mid-stream like "check out this person's stream!"

Amazon does not care, the ads must go out

this is cool

a thing I've learned about myself: I like having the toy piano in a common path (e.g. between my room and the kitchen).

it lets me occasionally pick out a melody that's in my head.

(this is not a subtweet to anyone i know personally)

bad podcast audio bums me out

I understand Pope fatigue (I was confirmed by a child molester) and to an extent it's a Let Them Fight situation but it's genuinely important and different that the Catholic Church, a major geopolitical actor with endless resources dating back millennia, is coming out hard against fascism this time

Two doors - the ‘male’ entrance is wide and square like a door. The ‘woman’ entrance is a cutout of a very thin long haired woman in heels.

This cartoon by Naked Pastor is SO GOOD. Sums up what I’ve been saying for ages about what happens when you start gatekeeping womanhood (and spoiler alert it’s the opposite of feminism).

super long stream last night! after way too many hours I think Kenshi might actually be starting to click for me, wild!

Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination. Discrimination based on sex is expressly prohibited under Montana’s unique Nondiscrimination Clause––“[n]either the state nor any person, firm, corporation, or institution shall discriminate on account of . . . sex . . . .” Thus, Article II, Section 4 is unequivocal in its intolerance for discrimination based on sex. Because sex discrimination involves a fundamental right under Article II, the appropriate level of judicial review is strict scrutiny. Snetsinger, ¶ 17. ¶28 Being transgender is also a suspect class under the Equal Protection Clause of Article II, Section 4,––“[n]o person shall be denied equal protection of the law.”

MONTANA SUPREME COURT: “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” and is subject to strict scrutiny under the Montana Constitution.

MEDICARE FOR ALL IS A FILM STUDIO RETENTION ISSUE

Electoral College cartogram showing which states are in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and which ones could join in time for it to activate by 2028. Each state is sized and labeled according to its number of electoral votes. The states are spaced out enough to accommodate the changes in size but retain their general shapes and relative positions on the map. Current members are in solid orange, potential members are in light green, and nonmembers that are unlikely to join are in medium gray. Members have 222 electoral votes, potential states have 68, and the unlikely states have 248. The compact would only activate once states with at least 270 electoral votes have joined. The seven potential members and their electoral vote are Alaska (3), Arizona (11), Michigan (15), Nevada (6), New Hampshire (4), Pennsylvania (19), and Wisconsin (10). Democrats would need to gain the governor's office and/or legislative chambers to win unified power in these states, as detailed in the spreadsheet linked in this post.

NEW: Virginia just passed a law to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, giving it 222 of 270 electoral votes needed to activate.

This map and spreadsheet show which states could join to activate it by 2028 depending on the outcome of the 2026 elections docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
