This is the second paragraph of MTG's Wikipedia entry. All of this, and maybe most importantly her support for an attempted coup, needs to be recanted for evidence of liberalism. Not just her political tactics.

Liberalism is not just using democratic tactics.

In our FAQ on the far right, @tomgpalmer.bsky.social and I write about the inherent instability of far-right coalitions. When they turn on each other it's an opportunity for liberals opposing them.

That opportunity is not that they're liberal after all.

We are habituated to the technocratic details of a budget mattering most—which taxes are raised/cut? Where is spending directed? What is regulated and how? When will the budget balance?

It's all now secondary to digging in hard to defend the open society.

Tutu thanks you for your service.

Once @aragusea.bsky.social demystifies cassoulet you can do things like use turkey fat to make 15min meatless (not vegetarian) canned beans for a 3yo who only wants white beans (which matters for some reason) and the "bean sauce" that sticks to them when we fish them out of cassoulet. #foodsky

For want of partridgeberries, I'm making cranberry pickles.

Cranberries are more one-note than partridgeberries, though, and I wonder if anyone on #cookingsky #foodsky has experience substituing them and would recommend adding something like a little quince.

Here is the direction from the order about explicit sexual content.

Here is explicit sexual content as defined in the order.

(I can't imagine The Handmaid's Tale is excluded because the Commander ejaculates into and not onto Offred.)

...he's a lot more confident than I am that domestic violence is automatically or will remain a non-starter.

Ethnonationalists are more evil than you think, even if you think they are very bad indeed, if you think this👇(from the FT) is just them being stupid.

It's not stupid. It's coherent, scary, evil.

How bad do things need to get before editors demand their outlets understand/explain this?

What is the origin of this "rule of thumb"?

For people who don't want to spend their time doing this themselves, the patch signifies affiliation with or support for Russian invasion and occupation. But I'm not sure if there's a specific group that likes to use it.
