I suspect at least a few of them know enough to know: 1. They are not popular people 2. They depend on legal structures which prop up minoritarian rule 3. No one will enthusiastically follow Stephen Miller anywhere The thing to worry about is that not everyone may be bluffing

Remember this when politicians say universal healthcare, or any other public good, is too expensive.

these people are not our allies, and I'm not talking about Elon right now. this is so obviously a bad choice that we must assume malicious intent.

High atop the hill, the Minion casts its baleful eye over Universal City, like so many Saurons.

The same way a lot of people didn't realize how big the QAnon problem was until those fuckers literally stormed the capital, I fear we're a year or two away from a shocking discovery of just how many "seemingly normal" people have lost their minds "talking" with ChatGPT.

Trump Escalates Musk Feud By Nuking Mars

Gonna be honest my political anxiety right now is calm (well, calm in full context at least) so I might have to take a full break from the news for, like, a week before I read something that spikes it back up again (turning me into a useless doomscrolling blob for a couple days)

This list is like the Avengers for people who only read airport books called something like "Leading Leadership for Leaders"

Wow sounds like it sucks

Everyone saying the Trump/Musk stuff seems to have settled down has apparently forgotten both men are unhinged lunatics prone to erupt at any time in fits of nonsensical rage. CNN will declare Trump the "cooler head," then at 2:36 a.m. Sunday he'll announce he's deporting Musk's children.

And then Sonic the Hedgehog is there and he says “I normally have to GO FAST, but today I wanted to slow down to wish you a Happy Birthday”

A very succinct encapsulation of the absurdity and harm of financially bludgeoning your own country over a “trade deficit”

Rift Widens Between Elon Musk, Anyone Who Ever Met Him

More of this and only this.

Counterpoint: No he won't.

Honestly the best encapsulation of centrism is that “if we get that person everyone hates to support us we will be popular”

i hope one day to race one of Mario's karts

This post really made me realize how "woke" doesn't even just mean "anything non-cishet white," it literally means "anything that I perceive as being different from things I saw when I was 12 years old"

being intimidated by bluesky is so funny. yeah i keep getting my ass kicked every time i go to bath and body works

Speakers at WelcomePAC have mentioned being dunked on by BlueSky posters no less than a dozen times in the first hour alone. This site has broken their brains

the difference between this and all the “brave anti-woke academic speaking out despite the risks” is that (a) she’s actually risking something, and (b) she’s actually saying something that’s correct

Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.

JD Vance Rushed To Walter Reed After Inner Hillbilly Returns

I don't know if I'm just offended as a manchild myself but this really does not sound promising to me

Nothing going on is that hard to understand as long as someone with some credibility has the desire to explain it and the space to do so and I’m glad this NBC station did this for their viewers

David Byrne was the first person to reach out to us because he wanted to be on the show.

We couldn't keep it a secret. The Sixteenth Doctor arrives July 4th!

It really is as simple as being willing to tell people we can use government to help each other instead of hurt each other

Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...

I made this months ago and it didn't get much attention but I'm still very proud of the joke

If an American posts “oh shit oh fuck” with no other context it’s because something happened in a baseball game, if a British person posts that it’s because something happened to Doctor Who

the first sentence of Elon's obituary should be that he was one of the greatest mass murderers in the history of humanity this is his legacy

Well, guess my ad campaign is a bust.

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics

Based Bill Burr giving the most based take

i spent the past few days learning to 3D model! it was really fun, and it'll be helpful to have models of my characters to use as references for my 2D art 😁 #art #artsky #originalcharacter #ocart #3Dart #3Dmodel #lowpoly #pixelart #blockbench

I thought this line was particularly telling, and not just for New Yorkers: “I never used to be as far left as a Bernie [Sanders], but those are the only people who are looking out for us,” said Anita Hennessey, a 61-year-old child care worker.

"Just practice" is good and necessary advice, but so frustrating for beginning artists to hear. I think what's missing is the assurance that drawing WILL get more fun. It really will. And the thing that makes it more fun is the control you develop after lots of practice. (thread repost) [tiptag]
