Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

You know, I continue to be reminded that blocking people who post rage bait screenshots from twitter has done more to improve my experience on here than just about anything. Rage bait engagement is what lead twitter to what it is. Stop supporting it here.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Station break: time to pay the bills. If you would like a science fiction narrative set in a hopeful far-future aftermath to tech bros and religious nuts taking off for space and leaving a blasted Earth behind to pick up the pieces, may I recommend my Jacob's Ladder and White Space books?

On 22 February 1943, three young Germans, members of the White Rose Society -- Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst -- were guillotined by the Nazis for distributing leaflets speaking out against the crimes of the Third Reich. Their bravery, and their cause, will not be forgotten.

Hmm I wonder which type of scientist might be more likely to be involved in DEI efforts, surely this won't exacerbate already-existing disparities in science funding

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

who could’ve predicted that confirming a white nationalist, christian extremist, drunk, sexual predator, tv host to lead our country’s armed forces would end in ruin

The EO didn't define sex in terms of anything "at birth," or in terms of chromosomes. It defined sex based on the gametes you produced when you were a single cell. It is biological gibberish even by transphobe standards.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Another view of the Emerald Bay teahouse. I like this one more, but I think the tighter zoom is less dramatic once you realize the teahouse isn't that far up. 24 July 2024. #landscape #landscapePhotography #photography #tahoe

AP is essential for Newsmax's ability to pretend to be news. Everything they publish is either "Tommy Tuberville says Biden is transing illegals with inflation" or a wire service story by AP or Reuters.

What if, and hear me out here, folks who used their moment before a huge audience to whip out a sieg heil had to live the rest of their lives in fear?

Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data For THIS $100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine And they spent it on this

I think we are just not using the word ‘Dictator’ enough, or the title ‘Dictator Trump’. And Executive Orders should be called ‘Diktats’.

It's not "president for life." The technical term for someone who rules until they die or retire is "monarch."

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.
