Enough time has passed that in 2025 you could say FFIX is your favorite FF just like in 2002 you would say FFVI was your favorite FF even though secretly it was FFVIII and today it’s FFX

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

Jeffries: "The streets are hot right now on Capitol Hill because the Republicans are just falling apart. They cannot justify their position having shut the government down. They cannot justify their position in terms of hiding the Epstein files from the American people."

*whatever “innate” means

Also, I realize this is not the point but everyone should have rights… something being a whatever “innate” or not shouldn’t factor into that

“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”

Same shit different era.

Chloe Cole: The existence of even one detransitioner dismantles the central lie of transgenderism, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.

I don’t understand why people still do comparative psychotherapy studies with these sample sizes. With N=110, you’d normally only be well-powered to detect a medium-large effect size difference…

A more snobby attitude of mine is how much it bothers me this works. To be frank, Weiss and the Free Press people always seem really obviously to be what they are to me - right wing shills. If anyone is actually fooled by the "I'm just a concerned centrist" schtick they seem incredibly stupid to me.

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 3d

another thing Weiss does is give other very dull people a vehicle to spout bog-standard right-wing ideas and pretend they're being iconoclasts or innovative.

Perry Bacon @perrybaconjr.bsky.social · 3d

Weiss very intentionally does not describe herself as a conservative or Republican and wraps her politics in terms like "free press." That makes more useful at advancing Trumpism than explicitly right-wing figures. newrepublic.com/article/2014...

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Another great example. Sometimes when I’m having a bad day if I’ve watched “300” I look at geese like “I wish you would”

Earl Verdant @earlverdant.bsky.social · 3d

Geese are terrifying. My dog will take a look and think about taking a run at one, and I just tell her "get to steppin'...you don't want none of that".

i have met a number of pigs, including pigs i later went on to eat (we have small farmers in our family) and quite frankly, getting to know pigs has made me feel even less bad about eating them

they would 100% eat us if given the chance

Whenever anarchism — or any idea more radical than the status quo — gets dismissed as unserious, it's worth remembering the current system runs on things like "we put all the money on a scam machine that tells rich dipshits they're god."

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

America is now one big bet on AI

It’s seen as the magic fix for every threat to the US economy
