Heard an 8 year old kid sing the Bill Nye the Science Guy theme song. I think kids just always know that. A kid in the 1800’s would somehow be able to sing it.

I sometimes read old gaming magazines and stumbled upon this "babe of the year" section from Playstation: The Official Magazine.

That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

Every single paragraph in this article is shocking. I had been quite pessimistic all along, but could not have imagined the speed and depth of the collapse.

This one fucking, especially. Like I can at least see the dumb misunderstanding where they still think vaccines and seatbelt laws are still "the machine" but this, come on, dude. It's still the government, acting like the fingerguard in V for Vendetta. Come on, dude.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Piers is specifically obsessed with this. He literally can't go 10 minutes on his show without bringing it up, then asks why the left can't stop talking about trans people. It's pathological and must be studied.

For example. There's a right wing FB influencer named Rick Dancer whose entire business model is to take advantage of and exacerbate the sense of chaos in Oregon. He lives in freaking Montana. When I pointed this out in a neutral way, no one picked up on the irony. He even liked my post himself.

How many of Oregon's leaders come to the state from somewhere else to take advantage of and exacerbate the chaos?

I dont wan5 to be "that person", but she does fit the mold of a trans person. Never had kids, big hair, big clothes, big jewelry, boob jobs, lots of plastic surgeries. I get RuPaul vibes. I do love her voice and music though
