he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

Y'all told these motherfuckers it was OK to let trans people lose their rights. Now they're banking on people letting them abandon everyone who looks vaguely Latino as well as actual immigrants. Who are y'all advocating for moderation gonna abandon next?

books books books books books

got home today and I was excited about reading a book so I started loudly muttering “books books books books books” like a little librarian goblin, and I think I upset one of my neighbors

“People’s republic of Davis” comes to mind occasionally

genuinely think they are feeding him AI videos

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

Pathetic. bsky.app/profile/step...

you don't get to count on votes from people you are letting get exterminated. if you let a fox kill the chickens, should you still expect eggs in the morning?

Real talk, we collectively missed the communal point of the zombie media plot: you ALWAYS have to work with other people, to rely on their skills to cover gaps in yours. And, if you're lucky and work together, you survive to the end. Not just the end of the movie, but the end of the whole ordeal.

Someone who doesn’t look like they’re composed of 60% spoiled skim milk instead of water.

Pritzker goes there on Trump: “This is a man who’s suffering dementia…It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.” Via Chicago Tribune

Then we’re all gonna die, alone, one at a time. Get the fuck up on that hill you coward.

Incredible. It didn’t work in the last election, let’s try it again. Dead end idiocy.

Did you know that you can actually just be honest about your prejudices, and just openly be a piece of shit? You don’t have to do this whole mealymouth thing to perform for other people. You can just come out and say it, and we’ll respect you a lot more than this.

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

It’s funny going back and looking at the post apocalyptic survival fiction of the 80s, because they had absolutely no illusions about the critical importance of community and supporting each other’s weaknesses.

We were primed in America by the myth of self-reliance to lean into this fantasy. Every person believes that they will be the survivor, and that everyone around them is somehow secretly lacking and will die in the first day.

If you think people are mad at Gavin Newsom now, just wait until he rides this strategy all the way to a crushing electoral defeat.

I don't doubt that Trumpism will soon crumble and things will return to a seeming normal. But what worries me is whether we will again make the mistake of offering impunity to these degenerates because if so, we're just waiting around for fascism that sticks.

Reminder to cis people that anti trans legislation can and will also hurt you, if you’re not already motivated to care about trans rights. We need stronger state level privacy laws around medical records in a post-Roe world for abortion rights, too.

I like to think that Gavin Newsom’s son is just crying about Charlie Kirk 24 hours a day, and his dad is trying to cheer him up with some anti-trans legislation.

if the democratic party starts stepping away trans people they might as well sign this country away to the far right forever

Never, ever Newsom. Fuck that guy.
