Counterpoint: maybe don't mock Trump for backing down from things we actively wish he'd back down from. "You didn't have the courage to fuck us as badly as you claimed you did" simply is not the own these dweebs seem to think it is.

she’s a human and thus capable of mistakes but honestly anyone who has anything negative to say about Greta is not my friend. Your critique even in good faith (which it rarely is) is nothing compared to her courage.

happy pride

Matthew Miller was an active part of the genocide in Gaza. This is not an exaggeration. He stood there day in and day out telling journalists citing journalists and human rights reports about Israeli war crimes and he denied them time after time after time. news.sky.com/story/former...

People like Patty are why I'm going to get put into a camp while my daughter is conscripted into the water wars.

A lot of unhinged replies to this post seem to think this is the first time NPR has done the (weekly) News Quiz, but these topics DO seem like NPR should consider hanging it up.

"If there were justice in the world, Musk would never be able to repair his reputation... Musk’s sojourn in government has revealed severe flaws in his character — a blithe, dehumanizing cruelty, and a deadly incuriosity. This should shape how he’s seen for the rest of his public life."

I am begging Democrats to react like human beings to literally anything. It's absolutely unhinged how everything they say is blunted and weak, as if their top priority is to never, ever have a strong opinion about anything. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

it's cool and normal that nobody knows what anything is going to cost a month from now, excellent way to live

Kirsten Beyer's work on the Voyager relaunch novels are some of my favorites. She had such a good grasp of the characters, and I really enjoyed the places that series went.

This thing is a blast and I *knee creaks* remember its release fondly.

That'll fix it!

My gf left a high control situation with toxic maga family and realized her beliefs mostly align with the left. She had to undo a bunch of perceptions that were basically "the left hates X," upon learning they don't, right-wingers just say that about the left.

I've talked about this before but in my work and personal life I interact with a few GenZ women and the things they tell me about the behavior of their male peers is often genuinely startling. Incredibly antisocial behavior that these guys simply don't understand is deeply weird and off-putting.

I find my Bluesky experience to be almost exactly like my old Twitter experience, so it works for me. If you left Twitter significantly earlier than I did (Fall '24), I get that your Bluesky experience is a lot different than your old one. For me this site has always been like this

We're allowed to make fun of RFK's voice 'cause he ain't got no soul!

I've watched 2 "Surrounded" videos. 1 Sam Seder posits that "only white nationalists will like what Trump does" and the maga kids line up to agree with him because they're happy white nationalists. 2 Alex O'Connor is mostly correct about the Bible and basically 2 of his interlocutors get it

Guaranteeing every American healthcare with Medicare for All would save 5x more money than the Republicans’ budget cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. It’s not about saving money, or cutting fraud and waste. It’s about harming and controlling working class people.

Every comic creator's obituary is like, he created this iconic character who was in a movie that made $700 million last year. He died with a net worth of $12 after the publisher countersued him.

I'm genuinely sorry that Fetterman had a stroke and suffers from depression. But arguing that he has a free pass not to do his job in the name of destigmatizing brain injury and mental health struggles is offensive. If he can't do it, he should resign. If he doesn't want to, he should resign faster.
