Definitely the most money anyone has paid for a single order-two permutation since the side-angle-side theorem's laundering into the middle school classroom

Fascism doesn't use expertise, it only uses experts

The most wholesome holeposting I've seen in a minute

Haus of Decline @hausofdecline.bsky.social · Apr 28

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

It’s not much of an exaggeration to say that a random woman in a sports skirt recorded on a random instagram reel in chicago has done more to directly confront the human rights abuses of ICE than both standing minority leaders

Unreality’s final defense against reality is the accusation “of course THEY’D say that, to hide their complicity in the ruse!”

See also: “of course the Springfield city manager would say there’s no credible reports of migrants eating pets — the Truth™️ would make him look bad!”

“What scares Klein […] are the stakes of American politics, which have gotten far too high for his liking. But it is a historical fact that for many people, […] the stakes were always high, and the threat has always been present.”

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...
