theory: Trump didn’t move the inauguration inside because of the cold, he did it so there wouldn’t be a big picture of the audience on the National Mall and people wouldn’t be able to compare his audience to Obama’s again

Spaghetti pasta with mushroom, shallot, chile and soppressata, in a sauce of parmigiano reggiano, pecorino Romano and hazelnut oil (and a little goats butter, and some garlic toast). Lol. Not sure what I’d call this aside from delicious. Maybe pasta giocattolo. 😆

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Our foreign policy of overthrowing governments and installing dictatorships is usually why our credibility is shaky to begin with. It’s why WE have lost credibility as the defenders of democracy. And now it’s the unchallenged use of US foreign policy here. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Thr TikTok ban is a sham- we have far greater problems with our own platforms, not just TT because it’s “foreign”. When thr public says what they need or this is unacceptable to thr government / establishment- the correct response isn’t to ignore public and take away their voice.

OTD 1985: police assaulted the MOVE house in Philly with rounds of bullets, water cannons, and smoke grenades, and tear gas, and dropped a bomb on it. The city let the fire burn and the fire commissioner said that he could control the blaze. But the fire engulfed the house and spread to 60 others.

Much love and solidarity on Transgender Day of Visibility! In this time of trans moral panic and fascist reaction, it's vital we all stand together to say, "Yes, trans people belong here and deserve to thrive, and no, we will not budge one inch for your bullshit."

So nice to live in a country where kids learn the lesson that if you’re wealthy and white and have a fan base prone to violent thuggishness, you can do whatever the fuck you want. Quite the shining city on a hill we are nowadays

Whenever you see stories like this I hope you remember how much worse it would be if the girl was actually trans. The harm is not in accusing a cis girl of being trans; the harm is policing identities in a never-ending mission to force everyone to conform.

Just to clarify: A member of Congress who supported white nationalism tried to get a Black university president fired by accusing her of anti-semitism. When that failed other white nationalists accused her of plagiarism, but needed mainstream media to treat it as a big story. And they did.

I can assure you that allowing fascist operatives to get black women fired from academic jobs is not going to fight antisemitism. In fact, it's hard to imagine anything worse for the Jews than a situation in which far-right activists can successfully target racial minorities they deem a threat.

the difference between steven moffat and Russel t Davies is that Moffatt proudly proclaimed that Dr who was for everyone including bigots while RTD used his second run to shout "ONCE AGAIN FOR THOSE IN THE BACK: THE DOCTOR IS BISEXUAL AND NONBINARY AND TRANS PEOPLE ARE COOL" as loudly as possible

Yah, idk - maybe it wouldn’t be such a PR nightmare for Israel if the IDF weren’t behaving like terrorists; which to everyone else seems kinda sus for anyone claiming to be the justifiable “good guys”.
