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."

this is how it feels to use windows

This was published last October www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"DEI" & "woke" are both terms the far right have stolen and are now using as replacements for the N-word and they KNOW they stole "woke" from Black people, they did that *deliberately*

ok this wasn't weird until you made it weird, my dude

I'm kinda Over the lazy "techies need to take liberal arts classes so that they don't turn out terrible" argument. Peter Thiel & Alex Karp did their undergrad degrees in philosophy. Elon Musk & JD Vance both have Bachelor of Arts degrees. A liberal arts education isn't a panacea against bad ideas.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

If any Hugo Awards voters enjoyed Lower Decks, it would be very cool to get a nod! Thank you for your consideration. This is our entire campaign. 🖖

Astonishing crowd inside Manhattan Criminal Court two hours before Luigi Mangione’s follow-up appearance. Organized chaos, people are in cordoned-off gaggles down the full length of the hall, chatting casually. Feels reminiscent of fans waiting for a concert ticket line to open.

I’d like to think I’m the first person to get into a flame war with VPOTUS from the swimming pool of Woburn Center Parcs at half-term.

In the month since Trump took office, monthly inflation is higher than it's been in the last year-and-a-half, real wages have gone down slightly, employment is flat, and the price of gas & eggs has gone up. How long until they woodchipper the Bureau of Labor Statistics & replace them with toadies?

"Bannon wasn't giving a Nazi salute, that was a 'Roman Salute'" hm yes very insightful! i wonder why people frequently mistake the two? did the nazis copy "Roman" insignia and gestures for some reason? maybe somebody should look into that

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Getting buried under a car park and mislaid for six centuries does.

Shout out to everyone who told me Biden couldn’t fire DeJoy.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

object permanence is hard

Got himself arrested on purpose while telling his city council to not put a MAGA plaque on the library because MAGA = Nazis. It worked, producing media coverage. Baller. ✊ www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

something that really is going to set realistic security thinkers apart from people stuck in the past is how cognizant one is that the US after this is going to be massively compromised. foreign and domestic security policies are going to start in equivalent of windows safe mode

elon musk using IVF and CRISPR to ensure all of his children are male and then one transitioning to female boiled his brain so much he ends society as we know it is like the ultimate expression of family being the oldest kind of empire for the most pathetic kind of humans.

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

we don't have kings in America, but we DO have the Great Khan of the Midwest 🫡
