There's 1 trick Marvel can do to double their money: tell Peach Momoko "you can tell whatever Kwannon and/or Betsy and/or Mariko story you want for however long you want in whichever universe". Congrats! Infinity money hack!

just talked to Gov. Pritzker who dared President Trump to “come and get me” after POTUS threatened him with arrest. But Pritzker said he thinks Trump will chicken out.

Even if this was not a horrible use of energy / water, nobody should be giving Google feet pics. There is no scenario where programs being trained on feet pics ends well for anyone.

Just constantly bring up how ICE shoots unarmed priests. Have press conferences asking Trump if he supports shooting priests. Ask Vance where "thou shalt shoot priests" is written in the Bible. Hammer them with that constantly

Everyone is giving TS such a hard time like "oh that line is not well written" and "oh that line doesn't even make sense" and "oh that line is actually disgusting stop saying that" but I'd like to see YOU try to write both The Waste Land and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

SSI is not Social Security benefits. Two different funding sources. Two different programs. Both administered by the SSA, but SSI is not actually Social Security benefits.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

It legit takes me a second every time to realize the outfit/decor isn't just a monster energy drink camp hoodie and a dirty flag with a dirty camo cap but it's actually a branded trumpunisher k$h hoodie & a k$s hat and a beanie and shelves and each individual choice is the worst thing I've seen yet

1000% every flavor of "you need a phone/credit card to access this thing now when previously you didn't" is fucking classist horseshit, and every time some previously accessible place is made inaccessible in that way the owner of that place should have raw sardines hidden in their house.

I'm planning on moving to one of the other instances sooner or later just so I can actually pay someone that's not in the "if you call me racist for hanging with gross racists it's a permaban" category. Just...absolute fucking clown behavior.

Honestly, yeah. There's just some power differentials that there's no way to diffuse, and there's no point in trying to do so. Sometimes it's not even an *ethics* thing, just a "you can't throw water up a hill" thing.

It's bad enough if President Trump is demanding authoritarian powers in violation of the Constitution ...

But if his unelected aides are manipulating him to get their own authoritarian policies in place, that's sort of a bigger deal.

Hunter @hunterub.bsky.social · 3d

This feels like evidence Trump's aides are deliberately gaslighting him, which is unfortunately very easy to do with dementia sufferers (Trump did it to his father) and which aides are using to seize control of the US military for their own purposes.

The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.

I'm sorry but you're wrong. You dislike cars, your opinion is that they are bad, but bigotry is reliant on an irrational dislike of a group based on that group's characteristics
Hunks of metal aren't a group of people in the same way LLMs aren't either
You're bigoted against motorists&city planners

If you take the statement "I sunk my teeth into a juicy apple" and replaced the word apple with newborn baby, it sounds pretty bad. Sit and have a think about that, baby biter.

I think what really gets me about the climate change deniers who are over 35 is the fact that nobody calls them out for lying.

...can you say something bigoted about cars? About hammers? About calculators? Blenders?

You cannot say bigoted things about tools because neither computer programs nor mechanical devices are people.
I hope that helps.
