I'm sure I'm not the first to coin the phrase but we are living in an Odiocracy: a society where the ruling class increasingly consists of the most evil and odious people, where being openly repugnant and willing to say or do repellent things is the best way to climb the ladder and vice is virtue.

A fair criticism of a painter or decorator, not so much a musician

It’s set during a bleeding heart liberal admin’s tenure so a homeless guy with no ID is actually the most powerful and economically mobile person

If the only thing that can be done to thwart Republican fascism is during elections shouldn’t the democrats be promising to destroy the republican party absolutely and forever if the electorate votes them in?

You can’t say ‘we’ll just have to win every election forevermore’, that’s idiotic.

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

If I was the editor I would have gently suggested this writer be put down like a rabid dog

This is the country that ruled it wasn’t rape for the spy cops to have sex with people in the groups they were infiltrating with totally fabricated identities and in order to cause harm to those groups

I think it’s also good for wasting massive amounts of energy and causing a lot of industries to collapse or greatly reduce their employment

Apparently our newest Nobel Peace Prize winner wrote to fucking Netanyahu for help in overthrowing the government of her own country dawg

The population of Venezuela needs international protection against the widespread and systematic attack to which the Venezuelan regime subjects it. This is demonstrated by the report dated May 29, 2018, submitted by the Organisation of American States to the International Criminal Court. This has served as the basis for nine states, including Argentina, to file complaints against the regime before that international body. We deeply appreciate this effort, which is decisive for the outcome of the Venezuelan tragedy.

I am convinced that the international community, in accordance with the responsibility to protect doctrine, is called upon to provide Venezuelans with the necessary support to bring about the regime change that is urgently needed to restore national and international security. Therefore, I have recently sent letters to several of the world’s leading figures to promote before the United Nations Security Council the adoption of effective protection measures for Venezuela by fostering regime change, a step that necessarily entails strengthening international security. Today I want to ask Israel and Argentina to contribute their expertise and influence to advance a sound and urgent decision-making process in the Security Council.

Such measures are imperative in the face of a hemispheric security hotspot like the one currently posed by the regime oppressing Venezuela. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organisation for Migration have certified that the current refugee crisis of people fleeing Venezuela is the largest in the history of the Americas. Argentina is an example of this crisis, having welcomed hundreds of thousands of our compatriots—a gesture for which Venezuelans will always be grateful. However, we must be aware that without a change of regime in our country, hemispheric and global security will be at risk.

This story has been picked up by multiple news outlets, including the Chicago Tribune and the Fox-owned station in the city.

You know which Chicago outlet doesn't appear to have a story about this on its website?

In what fucking sense is a dude dropping napalm on Vietnamese rice farmers anti-fascist?

Don’t confuse popularity with support or support with power

Jack 'on the Rack' Liu @teflonslinky.bsky.social · 1d

This is reasonable and correct.

The ubiquitous Bluesky position

Let’s assume you’re right though. How do you square that with them appointing an open transphobe as secretary?

Jack 'on the Rack' Liu @teflonslinky.bsky.social · 2d

They made those statements as YP ‘temporary leaders’? I think you’re wrong, but feel free to provide a source

Jack 'on the Rack' Liu @teflonslinky.bsky.social · 2d

So why do they feel able to make clear YP statements on other issues, but not trans rights? Surely they shouldn’t be saying anything since they don’t know what their membership want. What if their membership all love billionaires?

Turns out damage casts a longer shadow than progress

I’m sure this has no horrifying implications about the future for our current situation
