it's so cool how every time some centrist opines on JK Rowling they're like "i would simply try to reach common ground with her"
like do you think nobody's ever tried that before. do you think none of us ever tried to appease the bigots until you came along with your big smart genius brain?
So when these media illiterate assholes get the remnants of science fiction shat on them, they go fucking nuts thinking it's a groundbreakingly original idea. An idea that's not just mind-blowing -- it's game-changing.
They can't even perceive they are engaging in *narrative criticism*
NEW: Wes Streeting supports slashing welfare to pay for higher defence spending. X Health Secretary tells @LBC: "We do need to put more money into defence. We have been putting more money into defence, but we will need more... We definitely want to reduce the welfare budget... " @NickFerrariLBC: Should the increased defence spending come through the welfare budget? "Well it's got to come from somewhere"
Again: progressive tax hikes on incomes over thirty grand, rising to punitive levels at the very top tier. Boom! Now you can buy as many missiles as you want from American arms companies, and for once it won’t be the least well off getting fucked over. On you go, get started.
Bluesky: FORBIDDEN
Can you share the manual for the 1980s lawn mower? Else I'll keep walking past the cat floof piling up in the corners thinking I'll get to it later and immediately forget it exists once I walk through a doorway.

Lived in a place for years with a weird ensuite - sinks in the bedroom, bathroom to the side. Live now with a single main bathroom and nothing of value was lost.
Headed to SCOTUS today for our @democracydefendersfund.org case defending birthright citizenship w/ allies
Trump doesn't get to choose which babies born here are citizens--the Constitution does!
Along the way, dropping by @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social to discuss the case at 640

I work with data tables that sometimes require more than one index to be applied. I struggle with saying the obviously correct but possibly pretentious indices over the more common indexes. I shudder every time.
“I will vote for Trump because he is good at running the economy”
Fuck em. Solar and wind are winners once we stop allowing billionaires to run the world.
On that we are 100 percent agreed.
Mifepristone is not polluting your tap water, but sure, let’s roll back women's healthcare just in case. This is EPA cosplay to gut your rights. Share this before they decide your uterus is a Superfund site.
(What if Viagra is polluting our water supply? What then?)
Fucking give me an edit button I would hope the 19050s will be better than the 1950s.
No, but they were more likely to have harder lives when children were involved. I know when women were allowed to have back accounts, credit cards, and mortgages in the US. Look back further than the fantasized 19050's where white upper class women could cook in their nice avocado colored kitchens.
Women have always been part of the workforce.
The biggest bummer of this? Trump could get Covid (and then try to kill everyone around him with it). He's never going to have to pay these gas prices.
I've been seeing chatter about someone using ChatGPT to cure their dog's cancer, so decided to go find out what that was actually about.

Stay beaver, folks.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
just back from Everybody to Kenmure Street and my heart is so full 💕
director (Felipe Bustos Sierra, also did Nae Paseran) said in Q&A that many folk who'd seen photos from the day had never even heard just how successful the outcome was
general release March 13th, definitely catch it if you can
It's incredible how thin-skinned people who post gen-ai images are when it comes to criticism. Just heartbroken when people don't praise something they didn't even make! The world's worst Harry Potter fan-artist has more integrity.
No doubt Tulsi Gabbard is drafting her resignation letter as we speak.
if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal
I used to subscribe to WaPo. That was cancelled when they lost their damn minds. I'm not surprised at the loss of revenue.
we know
It’s why they have such a hard-on for CECOT. They get to visit and soak up the cruelty and then hop on a plane back home and don’t have to think about it anymore. When CECOT’s in Nashville, it’s something that needs to be dealt with constantly. None of these assholes want that responsibility.
Tonight let’s boycott Felon Trump’s lies & instead watch the
