Ideological diversity has, for years, been a right-wing talking point to divert attention from any real sort of diversity. Ideology is a choice. The axes of diversity are not.

I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation

A bit of brightness in this world: the Edmonton Oilers apparently play Pink Pony Club in the locker room whenever they win, and it’s become a sort of unofficial playoff anthem. Love these burly hockey dudes embracing it. Love the overalls. Love it all. Go Oilers!

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

Keep making jokes. Keep making art. Keep making games. Keep up self care. Distract yourself if you need to. Keep reminding humans what humanity is. This is part of how you smash fascism.

Will say, the bizarre, overwhelming hate Greta received for years, from random English "comedians" to French cartoonists to even Japanese & Chinese personalities etc, was a real mask-off moment; where it turns out many men were actually sleazy shitheels who lusted about beating their wives & kids

Anthony Bourdain died seven years ago today. I think his legacy to Americans was to be a good guest, to appreciate culture not co-opt it, and that we need to be less afraid of lifestyles unlike our own. He was an ambassador to embracing equal but different. More people could stand to ponder this.

All the substack deadenders are going to find out in a couple years. They’re fucking around now and they will found out at some point because there’s no way the worst tech bros on the planet are just going to let progressive journalism cook. They are walling you in for a reason.

The best time for large cities to reform their police forces was five years ago, when federal law enforcement agents first went rogue. The second best time is right now. I'm skeptical this will lead to any. It's not even the bare minimum. But I suppose it's at least something.

Called this months ago; fascists, especially the childish ones running our country, are all terrible egotistical people who only care about themselves trying desperately to be validated & they are all intolerable to each other because they’re only loyal to power & those who can get them more power.

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.

This has been his thing for a while; he thinks that Christianity is an important social force for keeping the masses in line but doesn't believe any of the silly Jesus stuff. It's honestly a surprisingly popular position among pundits.

UK libel laws are basically “if you are rich enough you can shut anyone up even if they’re telling the truth” Thankfully they don’t apply to the United States. Anyway. JK Rowling engages in holocaust denialism and pedals hate towards transgender youth.
