love it when i casually mention what occupy turned into almost instantly and there's always some random guy who replies with an aggro entitled "prove that"

i really fucking hate how cops have made "bad apples" into an excuse when the saying is "a few bad apples ruin the bunch"

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

everyone needs to internalize that this is just how all republicans are and when nancy pelosi said "the country needs a strong republican party" she meant that more people like this should be powerful. they are all like this! they all think just like this and like trump and they love it and it's fun

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

look, the proper way to fight nazis is clearly to blame them on women, stop defending them

"republicans are nazis so punch a dem woman" seems like it might almost not make sense

Is hard-right streamer Nick Fuentes winning over women on the left? Writer Katherine Dee investigates www.gq.com/story/nick-f...

Is Nick Fuentes Winning Over Women on the Left?

There are the Tumblr “Nickstorians” and sincere fanfics. But are young, liberal, possibly irony-poisoned women fetishizing or even falling for the hard-right streamer with the “groyper” following? Wri...

not to miss the point but there's a subtle racism/affirmative action for wealthy white boys going on in putting bragman on par with those other two

Fox News host Emily Compagno claims that the backlash to Bari Weiss being named CBS News editor-in-chief is due to her being Jewish:

"This kind of thing would make me laugh if there was not an antisemitic thread in there."

cool, sorry i can be prickly too. i'm not even saying i'm anti-platner or blind to the flaws of mills. just not as eager to embrace with that in his history. "i was against militarism before and after i was in the military and a merc" is... easy to question

and let me say again and add emphasis to that i'm not making any excuses or seeking empathy, or implying any is due. it's on us and we fail

brad @bradiscranky.bsky.social · 5h

we're expected to be pushy assholes such that for all our advantages and options it genuinely can be difficult to find paths to be a decent person. not to sound like i'm making any excuses. but you have to make a deliberate choice and an everpresent effort, which it's too easy to backslide in

as what i can only call a lifelong queer adjacent otherwise cishet white dude raised in privilege it's not even just that it's rough it's that we are such whiny fucking children that it's impossible even as someone who seeks to avoid their own kind not to be warped that way in some ways

A Charlie Brown style drawing of a boy with an oversize head and a tiny face. His shirt shows, insteqd of a zig zag line, the Wolfsangel rune. The texto reads, mimicking the Lee Meléndez Peanuts animated films posters font "It's the Second Amendment, Charlie Kirk"

i'd recommend finding a better way of discovering info about politicians than challenging random people on social media whose takes on them you seem inclined not to agree with to change your mind

not to mention bedstuy, where the dekalb bike lane often ceases to exist for blocks at a time

not going to name or tag or anything but i can't help but notice nyc bike centric accounts are also very area centric

the only mention williamsburg/greenpoint/bushwick ever gets from them is the mcguinness kerfuffle and whenever someone gets killed by a truck in the area west of bushwick ave

just a from the ass guess, but if this bubble is anywhere near as big as claimed then presumably the boards of more than a few companies are stocked with people whose portfolios depend on the bubble not popping
