Good on Greyhound! #goodtrouble

not that it should have to be like this for people to care, but everyone should understand that anti-trans bigotry is a threat to cisgender people as well as to trans people.

God I am so fucking mad about our feckless, doddering Democrats deciding that NOW, during an active fascist takeover, is the time to repeal Section 230 and to murder the free Internet.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Lmao. Chris -- giving a shit was an important part of the movement you joined in snuffing out by meaninglessly shitting on Bernie Sanders. Gonna take a while for those people who give a shit to believe they can do anything within the system. And it'll probably be too late

Look I don't know what to tell ya they are literally doing the New Protocols I'm just trying to write a fun fiction project over here

The DNC: once again proving that it's more important to protect insiders careers than to protect democracy or the lives of the vulnerable. Jesus fucking Christ.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

This probably seems grim, but given recent events, it might be a good idea to publicly display a declaration of life, especially if you fall into one of the target demographics Take mine or make your own:

‘We Must Protect The Pure Aryan Bloodline,’ Says Child After 9 Minutes Of Unsupervised Facebook Access

The fucked up thing about Ubisoft probably dying outright in the next couple years is that the most useless C-Suite execs WILL think it's because they put a playable black guy in their game and not pretty much everything else they did on an operational level.

Wow: 69 percent of Americans believe the healthcare system was at least partly responsible for the UnitedHealthcare CEO's murder, per new poll

Merry Christmas to everyone except those who perpetuate health insurance in the US

I think refrigerants in heat pumps are not really a huge deal in the grand scheme, but thay doesn't mean this isn't still potentially cool (and may make heat pumps more popular) - @techconnectify.bsky.social scitechdaily.com/goodbye-refr...

RBG refused to resign at age 83 and died at the end of Trump's term. He picked Barrett and 87-year-old Senate Judiciary head Dianne Feinstein didn't put up a fight. Now an 84-year-old Pelosi is pushing a 74-year-old with cancer to block the rise of a popular young progressive.

WE ARE STILL IN THIS. Wipe your tears. This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation. We do not give up. We run through the tape. Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉 Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

So apparently a blood clot in the lung doesn't meet the standards for admitting someone to the hospital. I guess you just give him a couple of ibuprofen and tell him go home and if you die we'll take care of you then.

-shows up wearing ceasefire pin -talks about how the art and magic of games comes from the creatives and devs -denounces the games made for quotas and in boardrooms -takes a shot at TGA about giving proper airtime to creatives -doesnt name drop any celebs forget the awards, this guy wins hearts man

So, I wish someone on the right could explain to me how you can be so worried about “woke cancel culture” because it limits your freedom of speech but you can, at the same time, be for banning books. Anyway, happy to see that New Jersey has an answer to such nonsense. www.nj.com/politics/202...

My latest for Merion West is a much deeper first-principles dive than I usually have a chance to do on why I'm a socialist:

I am once again screaming at the top of my lungs that absolutely nobody would give a shit about this if Tesla hadn't decided to reinvent the wheel in typical techbro fashion and convinced the public that plug & charge is such a magic benefit compared to putting fucking card readers on the chargers.

I know The Game Awards are... what they are, but I still want to complain about Veilguard not being there. I couldn't put that game down. Criminal! Happy about Metaphor being there though, that game rules and excited for its spot in the medley

Seems like there's a new wave of folks coming over here, probably because they can't escape the torrent of Elon's insane posts on the hellsite. Let's hang out here for a while.
