Opinionated heterochromic homosexual hemiglossic. He/him. Cis. Soyboy. Views my own. Tolerance is a social contract; if you're intolerant I don't have to tolerate you. No LGB without the TQ+. Sine homines gaudere rebus. #BLM No hands but ours 👍👎.

I'm going to collect my "scenes subverting dumb genre tropes" posts here.
Yeah, I'm not a fan either.
Pumpkin pie is a jar of baby food on a crust. Fight me.
Ok this take is unhinged BUT I have my own version of this, which is that I actually hate pumpkin pie.

Mr. Secretary, you seem confused. Mark Kelly was defending the Constitution. That’s leadership and you should try it.

Awesome. I hope Hungary’s president implodes with rage.
BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.
🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

I often suspect AI-generated voiceovers on YouTube videos. But I'm *sure* when the VO refers to Saturday Night Live and pronounces that last word Liv as in Liv Tyler or as in They Live.
Personally I think YouTube should let us know when a video has an AI VO. I want to skip those videos.

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

This is like Wilhoit's Law but... progressives.
if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything

You can say ICE is being used as a political cudgel to demolish democracy, or you can recognize that’s all they ever have been since their inception.
Attorney General Catherine Hanaway (R) publicly announced she has referred the state’s grassroots referendum campaign to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming without evidence that canvassers are “employing illegal aliens” to collect signatures to overturn the mid-decade redraw.

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Well, that's a new one: a job posting that's called "hybrid" not because it's partly WFH, but because it's onsite at TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. Not how I understand the term, recruiter.
Not asking them WTF because one of the locations is a LTNB* commute, and the other is FOUR HOURS away.

ICE abducted Leticia Jacobo and tried to deport her, she is Native American.
Polk County Sheriff’s Office, which held her for ICE, admitted that it was a ‘clerical error’.
Her family fought through layers of bureaucracy to stop her from being disappeared.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.
