MAGA is racist: Justified outrage MAGA is corrupt: Justified outrage MAGA is tacky: Outrage that seems superficial but I'll take it MAGA is transphobic with the help of 3 specific Democrats: "Hold on now, we have to have nuance" Brought to you by the Congressional Conflict Averse Caucus

Lol this is the most pathetic thing I've ever heard.

I'm so sick of these racist ignorant fucks.

I need to run this game again.

Aren't you guys glad you sold out? YAYYYY

Andy Harris trying to have a journalist arrested for recording him answering questions for the press would ordinarily be the most jackbooted fascist bullshit I've seen a politician do during any normal times. Seriously disqualifying.

When I'm dictator it will be illegal to claim a package has shipped without having actually sent anywhere. Printing a label isn't shipping.

hmmmm...not sure one person giving half a billion dollars to one party is a great sign of a healthy political system just not quite on board with that

oh wait nvm this makes it better

...for the few of you who haven't heard about this JKR/HP boycott before now, here are a couple articles about it: www.theverge.com/report/90181... (here's an archived version: archive.is/mVKwv) & defector.com/its-time-to-...

As usual, everything before the "but' is bullshit

"the combination of universities’ self-image as incubators & world-leading labs of climate action & innovation, paired with the obscene energy bloat & fossil fuel hunger of generative AI. It’s something a little worse than mere hypocrisy, more in line with betrayal & treachery." - @ketanjoshi.co

100% this and proud to have @lydiakauppi.bsky.social on our team.

the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity. read the first draft of the first Star Wars if you doubt me Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality

Public school enrollment was declining in West Virginia even before its voucher program was established. But things have only gotten worse. Since 2019, 70 public schools have closed in the state, and up to 20 more schools are in jeopardy. w/ @mtnstspotlight.bsky.social

It's funny how one thing, just a microcosm of what is happening throughout the country, but on a personal level, can send me into a tailspin of hate, vitriol and rage that I don't think I will ever recover from.

Oh, and also, for Washington residents, Initiative Measure IL26-638 is the horribly bigotted transphobia bill. I will reiterate that ANY law that asks to inspect CHILDREN'S GENITALS is a creepy fucking law and only serves the interests of pedophiles. Reject it.

When will the people say enough is enough?

I hope every Trump voter feels the pain that they have caused. I'll never forgive them.

It really needs to be emphasized that the woman Vivek is featuring in these videos fled with an accused & indicted child rapist and successfully helped him avoid trial for 20+ years.

Come join me in DC! Busboys and Poets on Nov. 10 to talk about brilliant Black women, activism, what we didn't learn from history, libraries, and books, books, books. www.eventbrite.com/e/freedoms-d...

It’s come to something when a photographer has to get legal advice, before displaying this photo in an exhibition, due to the risk of being prosecuted as a terrorist, but that’s exactly what I had to do yesterday. What a state this country is in.

What the fuck.

Your Harry Potter dollars funded this.

The AI ghouls are now pushing donating shares of their companies to the public. Umm, no. They need to be taxed and regulated like every other fucking company. It would be a giant mistake to let these AI companies—who don’t have a functional business model—turn into quasi-governmental entities.

I see pro se parties and other witnesses do this all the time, even after their objection is denied.

There are very few things I manage to accidently do on my phone. But somehow several to many times a day I apparently accidentally try to open Gemini, end up on the "let's get started screen" and then have to exit out. How do I turn this off?

Jesus Christ.

Meta is an enemy of democracy.

Palestinian skateboarder in Gaza doing a kickflip over an unexploded US-made (in Garland, Texas) Mk. 84 2000lb aerial bomb, provided to Israel as one of many tens of thousands of aerial bombs in the 1,000 and 2,000lb class included in US military assistance.

The best time to quit buying wotc products was when they sent the Pinkertons after folks. The second best time is now.

⚡️ 'This cannot be a coincidence' — Ukraine's Starlink access restricted without warning, Zelensky adviser says. Ukraine relies on Starlink to operate its mid-strike drones in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

I hope it's worth it to all of you world cup watchers. Just putting bribes into their pockets.

Never forget that Tom Homan took bribes. We all watched it happen. The charges were dropped AND HE KEPT THE BRIBE MONEY. Tom Homan should be in prison for taking those bribes. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I love articles like this because it's either a reminder that this country deserves all the bad things that happen to it or a reminder that our 4th estate has become so ridiculous that we have no hope anyways.

When they go low, we go, uh, well, it's not entirely clear, but nobody likes it.

The fall 2026 Designed in the DMV catalog features 80+ games made by folks in the DC-MD-VA region. We give these out to all the FLGSs in our region to encourage players to #ShopLocal. Thank you @evilhat.bsky.social (based in MD!) for making it possible! youtube.com/shorts/2pAxi...

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

YOU - That's sad. LIMBIC SYSTEM - Yes, it is. And you drowned in that sadness a long time ago. YOU - What do you mean, “drowned”? LIMBIC SYSTEM - You lost.

One of the things that terrifies me is that as a white privileged dude, would this have been me? I talk a big game but what the hell have I done to make things better.

Deeply American sentence (from Davy Crockett’s wikipedia page)

I've been listening to guards guards by Terry Pratchett and the most unrealistic thing in the book is the police doing something about the dragon being king, rather than excitedly supporting him.

As someone who is really struggling with his ADHD and burnout recently I wish the BBC a huge "I hope you get defunded"
