Nothing says "we're terrified of men hurting us in our women's bathroom" like two heavily armed men interrogating women in the women's bathroom.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Right, the breakdown is that MEDIA REFUSES TO TAKE MUSK AND VANCE'S NAZI LINKS SERIOUSLY, not that the INTERACTIONS ARE HIDDEN. Musk literally did an apparent Nazi salute at the inauguration, NEVER ONCE DENIED IT, and was given a free pass.

Elon musk isn’t elected. He’s a Nazi nepo baby who breaks everything he touches. And right now he’s locked himself in a room with grandpa’s Social Security check.

I read this piece by @brittneymac15.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com and it was cogent, informative and caught be up on what I need to know. I cannot stress enough how good @teenvogue.com's political coverage has been over the past 5 years. www.teenvogue.com/story/trumps... - make it a point to read

These are not the actions of an innocent man looking to uphold the rule of law and defend the Constitution. They are the actions of a guilty, vengeful tyrant looking to silence his enemies and remove every check on his power. Coward. abcnews.go.com/Politics/doj...

Stop letting unfunny men tell you there’s something wrong with you for not getting their “jokes”. Stop fake laughing. Let their reality reflect the truth of how fundamentally they misunderstand humor. Neuter their ability to use “it was a joke” for emotional cover. Make them see nobody laugh.

Some of y’all have gotten so used to a weak Democratic Party that you don’t even know what politics is. Republicans aren’t practicing some unique dark art that only they know; Democrats simply refuse to act aggressively and then get surprise pikachu when they put in nothing and get nothing back

What radicalised me? The opening number of A Muppet Christmas Carol, in which a rich man’s crimes of profiteering against the poor are clearly laid out and any arguments for sympathising with him are presented and immediately rejected.

Silicon Valley is like: "How about we make search engines useless and replace them with a cutely named robot who makes stuff up? And also creates more pollution to accelerate global warming?" "What do you think? Never mind, we've already done this for you."

I’m actually a grown adult with fully formed thoughts such as “trans people should be allowed to just exist and have human rights without assholes questioning their humanity” and I don’t need to hear the opinions of anyone who disagrees with that. It’s not a debate and I won’t pretend it is.

Sighing as I remember that Reagan launched his first campaign three miles from the site of the murders of the Civil Rights 3 and proclaimed that he supported states’ rights. It’s always racism, folks. (Except when it’s also sexism.)

I contain multitudes. I believe every life is sacred, and every life destroyed destroys an entire universe. I also think that if the extraordinarily wealthy want to avoid the guillotine, they have to choose ethical and equitable behavior. They cannot delay making that choice forever.

To the person or people that said that CEO was “not violent” you’re wrong. It is Structural Violence capital S, capital V. It is as profound as it is profane, and I won’t stand for us minimizing it. And in case you don’t see it, maybe pay attention to who’s most at risk under current systems

Universal healthcare coverage is the peaceful way to resolve many of our pressing problems, so if someone is looking for peaceful solutions, point this out and see if “peaceful solutions” is what they really after, or if they just want sick people to be quiet..

The funny thing about the tech bros' loathing of Bluesky is that it's exactly the sort of thing they should love, according to their own rhetoric. Plucky little start-up identifying a market gap and taking on the Goliaths, breaking the mould, etc etc.

I keep thinking about those congresspeople kneeling in the rotunda wearing kente cloth scarves, very performative. There has been no loud, visible, unified support for Sarah McBride from the democrats. It’s a real disgrace. That is your colleague! They are bullying her in your faces. And silence!

Many people think that as you get older, you care less about politics. But it’s not true. You start thinking a lot more about the kind of world you want to leave behind. You want it to be better than the one you were born into. We all have a personal legacy in mind. Mine is to outlive Trumpism.

Pisses me off people that worked on a show seemingly have to beg people on social media to watch their show to get another season, etc. How did we end up like this instead of the bloody company marketing it like they should? This feels very egregious in Animation.
