It will always be wild to me how quickly people who said they were abstaining from voting "in solidarity with Gaza" have not made a fuckin peep about Gaza since the election. Like did you actually care about the genocide of Gaza, or did you just want to use them as a talking point to your own egos?

It is mind-boggling to me that every time the Democrats lose a major political fight, the lesson they take away isn't "we should appeal more to the working class and our activists". It's always "we should double down on being ineffectual and staying centrist in an increasingly fascist country."

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

This by Ezra Klein is really spot on: “You never want a power grab to look like a power grab.” It looks like a power grab. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

It’s the job of every congressional democrat to grind the gears of government to a stop. Right now. Block everything. Slow walk every committee. Call every vote. Filibuster every post office name change. State Dems need to build parallel institutions to protect the people at home. GET TO WORK.

Y'know, the last time we went to war with Canada, they burnt a LOT of our government to the ground. Just saying

Hey, when I say eat the rich, I'm not talking to the furries. I've seen what you want to do with that statement, and God came to me in a dream saying he will smite you for that kink.

Unrelated to modern news, I finished Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart today. I've been playing these games since "Goin' Commando" in 2003, and this was the first one I've ever played that was just completely disappointing. No wow factor on the guns, the levels, nothing. #ps5 #gaming #ratchetandclank

When I say the stock market isn't real, remember that I'm not doing a "fiat money" tinfoil hat thread. I'm talking about the fact that it's all based on expected changes in value, not observable or factual changes in the value of those shares.

In some cases, authoritarians will hand you what seems like a tool to criticise them or exercise your rights. Whenever they do this, they are in fact handing you the tools to let them monitor and police you remotely. #tiktok

Also, if you're looking for genuinely unsettling YouTube short films that don't rely on jumpscares, I gotchu. The Backwater Gospel Pine Devil We're Not Safe Here The Other Side of the Box Curve Heck Rot by Corridor Digital The Hangman (1964) Portrait of God The Kid and the Camera #horror

I mean this wholeheartedly: the most unsettling adaptation of Poe I have seen TO THIS DAY is actually the 1953 short animation for "The Tell Tale Heart" dir. by Ted Parmelee. I believe you can still watchthe whole thing on Youtube for free and it's less than 15 minutes long, but godDAMN.

Look, if I had to name my all-time favorite fantasy story off the top of my head with no prep? I'd probably say Eragon. No, it's not good, but you sprung the question on me and i'm still trying to figure out how you got in my house.
