"We took freedom of speech away" is probably the most honest thing Trump has said or done in a long time

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1h

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

no wonder Tiffany was a natural, "telling people what they actually need to know and no more" is maybe the most important witch skill

Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men

Tiffany was on the whole quite a truthful person, but it seemed to her that there were times when things didn’t divide easily into ‘true’ and ‘false’, but instead could be ‘things that people needed to know at the moment’ and ‘things that they didn’t need to know at the moment’.

It's amazing how they're completely overestimating any public sympathy for this "AI" shit.

Like they did for NFTs.

And crypto.

And the metaverse.

And rich people.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

everything is shit these days and it's important to find things that bring you joy, so: one of my favorite art things is @mikemaihack.com's Super Batober, where he draws adorable pictures of Babs and Kara every day for the month

I highly recommend checking out previous years too

Day 4: PUNK ROCK 🎸🤟

#SuperBatober #Inktober #inktober2025

SUPERBATOBER 04: PUNK ROCK -- Supergirl and Batgirl are starting a punk rock band! It's all about spreading love and kindness but mostly so they can wear fun punk rock outfits. Maybe one day they'll actually learn how to play too! In the meantime let's all just follow the lyrics in their first single and "🎶 BE KIND 🎶".

Despite getting whatever anti-trans narrative they wanted out of the Charlie Kirk shooting, the American right is now blaming the Jews instead, because content must be created. It is almost like the "first they came for" thing is not hypothetical!
