We need fewer career politicians beholden to legal precedents that the right is gleefully setting aflame and more trickster demons eager to take advantage of loopholes in these shoddily reasoned Supreme Court decisions

Thinking about pausing my tech career over the next five years while this code shitshow passes/invades, and I'll get hired back on to clean it up with my ten manual fingers.

Back on the "Why is it bad that art was scraped without permission if it was on the open internet" topic: Because artists whose work definitely wasn't this bullshit is being used to create this fascist bullshit. It's theft and a promise of violence, all at the expense of your labors of love.

This is also a really good time to get familiar with the Tor network and start offering duplicates on .onion if you can.

I think most law is just fake, anyway, so I wouldn't hate a "Fuck these idiots, obviously I and any decent human dissent." We all agree the SC is a cabaret of clowns, why are we treating any of this with dignity at all?

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future. Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

I think a lot about Disco Elysium's take on centrism. The writers are scathing in their critique of every ideology under the sun, no one spared - but none receive such venom as MORALISM. Even nationalism & fascism are treated as mostly pathetic, emasculating - centrism is the true face of terror.

sorry I can't get over how cynical this is. dude just voted for a bill that was pushed by the crypto lobby and left out any protections against Trump's corruption. now he's claiming to address the issue with a bill that will never pass? this is galling even by modern Dem standards

Gonna start my novelty screenshot account of Magic Kingdom ads flanked between Nazi Elementary School and Sexually Exploited Elementary School.

I know it's not the point, but if there's a god to beg to, please don't report that Trump kept saying "n word". We can't be normalizing that shit. I can't deal with the collective snickering of chuckleclowns giggling over n-word jokes (or, you know, just straight up racism).

I don't live in NYC, but fuck me why can't we all have exceptionally engaging, involved, community-lifted politicians running all of the time? Like, we don't have to accept this bad world. We can choose better for ourselves. I hope he wins for NYC, and I hope we see more Zohrans everywhere.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively won’t draft you into an illegal war.

Genuine question - are all USPS package routes fucking insane? Why is something bound for Seattle need to go to Orlando first? There actually might be a good reason, I don't know, so I'm asking ....uh, anyone who sees this.

Legitimately, 6-year old levels of horrible lying. Goes well with his baby face.

Every car post 2023 looks like someone stuck four wheels on unshapened Play-Doh and we're calling this silly?

I'll just make it easy for all marketers - this whole thing is my shit. Do more of these for anything and I'll open credit cards and default on them to afford your trash. (Trains rule, defo not trash, to be clear)

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago. What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored. Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

grateful to once again be having a conversation about the bullying tactics of trans activists

Cannot overstate how nice of a feature it is to have him already auto-blocked because someone put him on a shitheads blocklist before I even knew about it. Community moderation has perks.

Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people. These bastards want us all dead.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, this is more of the "meeting the hurt" than whatever the fuck your team is doing over there. Get your heart together.
