Trying to think of a year since 1980 where republicans weren't this racist, and failing. Maybe the image they were projecting to recruit people into YR during the clinton years was sanitized, but every republican leader has been reading mein kampf for decades.

a lady who's famous for being a feminist blogger saying the young republicans are more extremist than they used to be. She says they weren't that horrible in front of her when she worked with them on campus, or when she was in high school.

that article was how I found out that young republicans includes people up to 40 years old. I'm excited to announce "I can no longer join young republicans" at my 41st birthday to a crowd of confused friends

Andy said trans rights, y’all

pretty decent chance we will have the Governor of Kentucky running to the left of the Governor of California on this issue in 2028. it’s a wacky world, folks

A little bit about me, my values don't change based on who I'm talking to. I'm a proud pro-LGBTQ+ Governor who vetoed anti-trans legislation in an election year and still beat Trump's hand-picked candidate.

Gregg Turkington: 🏀🗑️

Big Mike is a nice enough guy. I am glad he had a great career with the Orkin Rat Company. It was too bad he threw it away…

learning about video games

auto-translated from Brazilian Portuguese snippet from an article about Pilgrim: Faith as a Weapon. It says that the devs announced the game during a candlelit dinner, it will cost $70USD, and Moebius did a lot of the illustration work.

isn't your company big enough where if they're firing you they gotta document that they told you to improve and you didn't

If my parents had crafted me, from birth, to be a pop star sensation then I would probably cry a lot the first time I read about Raymond Shaw, then eliminate the guinea worm

Years ago I heard a video game streamer say he didn’t want to study philosophy because he wanted to figure all that out for himself. Now I can picture him and MattY discovering philo from first principles together.

They frame themselves as victims as they draw you into the equivalent of a 4am debate with a stoned teenager saying “but, like, what IS a mind?” And frame fair-minded skepticism as somehow restrictive because you can’t debate their endless, banal and directionless counterpoints. Walk away!

base, bass, whatever

Chakandy Corn @chakan.bsky.social · 12d

I want to press up against that dissolution, what the fuck do you mean I boost the bass too much for this song?

Chakandy Corn @chakan.bsky.social · 12d

friend said "it really takes me out of things when the base is so heavy that it feels like your car is gonna fall apart" and I was dumbstruck, listening to stuff so loud and heavy that it feels like everything is breaking, that's a fundamental style of music and I love it
