These freaks keep getting on TV talking about opposing antifa and how they believe antifa wants to destroy them, and not a single person in mainstream media has asked or commented on what is the opposite of antifascism and who is threatened by antifascists

Wow I REALLY FUCKING HATE how corporations only understand the sexual furry stuff, it's super not helpful to normalize "all furries are overtly sexual all the time", it makes it easier for them to censor ALL furry culture. On top of it being low effort AI slop garbage. Disgusting.

It's time to stop means testing every single beneficial policy. Who cares if rich people get free bus, it's ONE LESS CAR. make it as convenient as possible and watch how much transit can help ALL OF US. Cuomo is so out of touch, doesn't he go around in some fancy car he parks in no-park zones?

Doug Gordon @brooklynspoke.bsky.social · 2d

I'm guessing Cuomo means that if a rich person takes the bus they get it for free, not necessarily that bus riders are rich. Still, he's so sloppy in his messaging and it's no accident. It's a Trumpian kind of plausible deniability to sow division and play off of fake concern for the working class.

Second Ave. Sagas @2avesag.as · 2d

You can tell Cuomo's campaign has cooked its brain on Twitter because it's repeating nonsense talking points from people like Andrew Fine and Reza who claim only rich people use transit.

As of 2017, bus riders in NYC earn an average salary of $28K, well under subway riders ($40K).

Kinda feel like this is pretty representative of 2025.
It's shit that's bad for you AND a bit of a scam but no one in power is gonna give a fuck to make it right even though it cost more than it did last year.

A can of vienna sausages on a kitchen counter, it's open and 6 sausages are visible. Not 7. The broth is filling the remaining space where the last sausage should be and probably making up the recorded weight.

It would be wonderful if people in design professions, like architects, would take a stand and not work for this disgusting administration. If my firm took on this kind of work, I would fucking leave. There is a code of ethics. This aint in it.

Doug Gordon @brooklynspoke.bsky.social · 2d

An arch here, some more gold embellishments there, one big banner of Dear Leader... and boom. It sure says something that it only takes a few small tweaks to turn the design of our capital city into the instantly recognizable seat of a fascist government.

I'm kindof lol that the best way to not get drafted to fight their shitty wars is to get overweight (based on outdated metrics like BMI) so they won't want us. Seems easier than making up a religious objection.

Makes me wonder of there's something about preserving documents but not the folders they're in. Seems childish and unprofessional to tape hastily-cut text into a folder like this.
