People are having fun imagining Miller giving Musk that black eye but let's be real. Steven Miller is composed of dust and black mold and so cannot achieve corporeal contact with another creature.

i have begun to use “wicked” to describe these people. it is old fashioned but captures the active nature of their malevolence. they are *agents* of evil

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

i will never take seriously the word of anyone who cares about “what polls better” when discussing fundamental human rights. if you are asking this question you have already lost yr humanity

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

We need vision, not (only) vindictiveness.

“Here we are once again confronted by a central truth about the people who lead these anti-trans campaigns in sports, which is that although they are first and foremost hateful bigots, they are also huge fucking losers.” defector.com/its-a-great-...

Miss Rachel isn’t on Bluesky, but her posts about Gaza should be. I wish this wasn’t so unusual to see from people with big platforms.

"I propose an alternate strategy: I shall fight Secretary of Education Linda E. McMahon in a televised cage match, the winner of which gets $2.7 billion in federal grants and the power to uphold or destroy America’s continued technological and economic success." www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

But asking young men to behave as if they are responsible to others is indeed an attack on masculinity, at least so far as masculinity is defined as the entitlement to behave with indifference to others' dignity and wellbeing.

Convention of only Kylo Ren cosplayers: Kylo Ren Faire

Kylo Renaissance. Is this anything?

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie planted nightmares in me that I didn't shake for a decade. An absolute monstrosity.

Republicans stop killing babies, challenge level: impossible.

Grateful to everyone who shared their thoughts with me for this piece about the difference between how people imagined they would show up for a moment like this one, and how we're actually showing up—and how we can begin to close the gap between aspiration and action.

anyone who says this destroys the pro-Palestine movement wasn't invested in the movement to begin with. Palestinian children, people, deserve to be free and live without fear.

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans. Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect. I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

Goofs: The Fugitive (1993). Continuity/Plot Hole. Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) and his marshals are after Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) for killing his wife (Sela Ward) even though Kimble did not do this. [Helpful 34 Not 1]

Ms.Rachel is showing more humanity than our politicians

I don’t think a liberal Joe Rogan needs to be Hasan levels of pro-Palestinian but yeah if Ms Rachel is unacceptably anti-Israel we’re ngmi with the rising generation of voters

in general it is overwhelmingly the case that the use cases proposed for "AI" have the sort of car ad pathology of presupposing a world where you have this thing and nobody else does, instead of a world where everybody has this thing and that sucks, don't it

It is unconscionable and immoral for the world to allow this horror to take place.  2.2 million people are trapped with no food, water, aid, medicine, and baby formula.  This genocide must end and we must stop being complicit in the mass slaughter of babies and civilians.

yep, again: my wife's entire team was recently fired from her nonprofit hospital a month ago because the Trump administration ceased all Medicaid reimbursements at the beginning of the year 95% of the stories I read never mentioned Medicaid once
