Okay, I'm making up a "Nice" list, like I'm fuckin' Santa Claus, bitches. BUT! You only make my list if you're a member of the US Congress and you stand up for trans people, like Rep.-Elect McBride. So far I have Ocasio-Cortez, Frost, and Robert Garcia. If you know of any others, let me know.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Keefe big mad at Voronkov for punching Dillon after Dillon punched Voronkov first.

Listen, it sucks Dillon got knocked out of #1,000 and I hope he's OK. But he threw the first punch.

It was an Op, not a paper.

No student in history earnestly trying to do an assignment calls the governor immediately after getting a bad grade. I’m sick of people engaging bad faith actors on their false terms.
I'm really tired of people pretending that this is about whether or not the essay was bad! It's not. It's about trying to purge trans people from society. The student called the TA a fucking demon, man. Do you know what that's like?

Millions of workers are toiling away from their families this holiday weekend.

So thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail.

Pay all workers a living wage.

Oh, the liberals who bleat at the administration officials who are brazenly confessing their lawlessness with "but that's against the law; you can't defy court orders!" when they have been doing so since January, and if a case reaches SCOTUS, Roberts et. al. just nod to the admin.

The tech behind resealable snack bags is getting progressively worse. The closer you are sealing to the top of the zipper, to the point that I have to use scissors carefully to avoid cutting the zipper, the less useful that it's becoming. This is a problem with them as a whole, across brands.

Pretty high praise considering they didn't pick him in the first four rounds and decided to go with a veteran with a spotty record...

“He’s got a really good outlook on the world.”

“I really liked him.”

“I was impressed with the kid.”

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Trump bought Boeing bonds while rewarding the company billions in federal contracts.

He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company.

He bought Meta bonds while pushing AI-friendly policy.

Trump isn’t governing — he’s cashing in.

The ultimate takeaway from the "28-point plan" (honestly, too many points for the plan to be taken seriously) is this; "Europe, you are on your own. Your only hope is a rapidly militarized Germany to step into the void being left. Good luck. What could possibly go wrong?"

It is comical that Putin would refer to the inappropriately-named "peace" proposal presented to Ukraine as a "U.S. plan." It is a Kremlin plan that might as well have been written in the original Russian.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”

Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.
