“Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

A reminder that bringing shitty posts over from That Fascist Site to be performatively angry about them here is a choice you don't have to make! You can just leave them there! There is so much else to be legitimately angry about! You will not lack for content!

Brilliant #music idea of the day:
A cover band that plays everything at ~75% of the original speed and ~5 semitones down.
Call them "The Busted 45s".

Just ordered @gxldsociety.bsky.social's book (in hardcopy).
Don't know if it's accurate to say I'm "looking forward" to such a difficult topic, but I think it's important, and I expect to come away with more knowledge than I started with.

There’s a Direct Line Between MAGA Content Creators and the ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
Renee Nicole Good’s death after being shot by an immigration officer was preceded by a wave of misinformation peddled by right-wing influencers.

The first World Baseball Classic was in 2006, and I attended one game: Australia vs. Dominican Republic. It remains one of the most fun #baseball games I've ever attended in my life.
Cellphone cameras have come a LONG way since then.

I don't care for Krispy Kreme. The only time I'll eat them is absolutely straight-out-of-the-fryer fresh, but even then the glaze is usually too much. For national chains, I prefer Dunkin.
There are so many good, small, local #donut shops, there's rarely a need to get them from a chain.

this store is 18+ and they’re strict as hell about it. none of this has ever been about “protecting children,” it’s about trying to force trans people to disappear
After a boutique on South Street received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for selling breast binders for gender-affirming care, the region’s transgender community worries about the potential wider impacts.
