Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

Black Mirror pitch: POTUS destroys democracy in 90 days.

Everyone watches it happen on their phones.

The opposition party leaders are 85 years old and post "Hey, stop" once a day.

Toiletries are locked behind glass.

An evil online bookstore sends Katy Perry into space for feminism.

No, the Joker would never work with the Penguin, there are checks and balances to prevent that from happening & it would be ridiculous to imagine something like that could even occur in our lifetime- oh wait, ah shit, we're getting word that the Joker was in fact working with the Penguin, ah fuck

it’s pretty insane that i’m still struggling to find work as an editor while multiple publications print “Dropkick Murphys Banned by Elon” without ANY fact checking or verification. my god y’all, this is basic shit
You can see here on the Internet Archive the Dropkick Murphy's account was suspended back to June 2024.

I am again begging staff reporters to learn basic X tech literacy stuff. Did anyone reach out to the band? Unverified online rumors are not a good news source.

i can’t say exactly what kind of world we should be building, but it’s def one where people take responsibility for each others well-being directly instead of calling representatives every 2 weeks and begging them to vote “No” on the Maim & Kill Everyone Act of 2037

I feel like apples vs apple sauce is very similar to blocks of cheese vs mozzarella sticks but with much fewer health concerns. I’m here for it.

“What are you gonna do? Not vote for us?”
it's been over 2 weeks since we got a poll showing dems were -9 with their own voters (and just getting demolished, among independents), and it seems some people have memory-holed that and decided "reflexive defense of congressional democratic leadership is BACK"

So Democrats want to remove legal protects from the entire internet to try to … censor their way back into power? 🤦‍♂️
It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.
Sen. DURBIN: Fentanyl often gets to our kids and young people through the internet.

Section 230 absolves social media companies from any responsibility. “That has got to end.”

I wrote section 230 to protect the little guys and the upstarts like Bluesky. Repealing section 230 only helps Meta, Musk, and Donald Trump.

Is everything terrible right now? Pretty much. But if you try to focus on all of it, you will not be able to function. So do what you can to make the world a better place to exist in- in the ways that you can & forgive yourself for what you can't. Doing something is always better than doing nothing.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.
