Rather than just nodding and saying "No shit. Sherlock," you owe it to yourself to read about the methodology used to arrive at the conclusion. Of COURSE we knew that transphobic shitbags are lying when they say they're doing for the women. But a valid statistical analysis equals confirmation.

Go figure: Proposed bans of transgender athletes, like I-638 in WA, are framed as "protecting women" but that framing is misleading. This survey shows that people with more sexist views support bans at higher rates (79%) than people with less sexist views (28%). theconversation.com/are-transgen...

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Now to tailor the message in a closing Team Blue argument... HEY COMPLETE IDIOTS! YOU KNOW YOU WANT US! ... might need some light editing.

substack.com/home/post/p-... "we asked respondents two factual questions about politics: which party has the most members in the House, and which has the most members in the Senate. I classified anyone who got at least one of these questions wrong as “low-knowledge.”

We don't give our Veep nearly enough shit over his one claim to fame.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that Donnie Two Scoops' obsession with #Somalis is that Melania has repeatedly and openly bragged to the Cuck-in-Chief about how *splendidly* such men fuck her. Yes, it assumes she's human, with actual emotions, but work with me here. It would explain a lot.

Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

We have to re learn this lesson way too often.

It wasn't even remotely close. 76% were against even having a referendum on leaving. 24% were for it. An overwhelming rejection of the idea. Just because some people yell about stupid shit on social media doesn't mean that anyone IRL gives a damn about what they're saying.

Uncle recently died. As a kid I thought he was quite a cool hippy type person. Just before his death he was saying that people in boat crossing the channel should be shot, plus other racist shite. The small inheritance I received gone straight to RNLI

When Trump says the Ukraine does not want to end the war, what he is really saying is that Ukraine does not want to surrender to a deal that he has worked out with Putin which would see the Ukrainians hand over more of their land and people. Speaking the truth is important.

Sure, Jan. Someone needs to show up at her workplace and berate her with a bullshit, bad-faith gotcha question, put her response under an electron microscope, and have it broadcast on a shitty social media platform.

Imagine walking into a bar with Swastikas and kiddy porn plastered over the walls and going “hmmm, might just stop for one drink”. What the fuck is wrong with people? Get the fuck out of there

The answer is a cruel, rigged capitalist system most have been programmed to misunderstand. (This is the answer to most everything that's fucked up and bullshit in America of course.)

One thing I still struggle to understand—why so many people pretend to love or like driving, or at least aspire to love it, when in reality it's the most annoying aspect of their life. They hate their commute, they hate the pain at the gas pump—and yet they're swayed by marketing promising freedom.

It's likely to be a squeaker, let's make CRYSTAL clear, ~2 percent of Georgians are so pathetically racist/misogynist that they CAN vote for Ossoff but not Bottoms. That's the ONLY explanation. Helluva marketing issue for a candidate to overcome, eh? (I hate too much of life) Oh well at least...

Fans of the epic "My Man" series know this might be the cruelest teaser post in the history of posting.

This means I'm going to be doing more serious writing and fewer "my man" threads for the next month or two, but there's a photo this morning that is absolutely begging for it ...

Can we go back to judging books by their cover at like a forty or fifty percent ratio? Cause sometimes the guy who looks like a big lazy idiot just is. We are not all beautiful complex puzzles. Some of us are just what it says on the fuckin tin.

AJC had a good line from KLB the other day - "one Wendys, a dumpster and one police car is not the city burning." Bulwark has a running gag about how no MAGAs seem to have any memory of who was president in 2020...

Granted for the most part the phrase "shitty frozen pizza" is redundant. But some are edible. This one's not. 1/10, would not recommend, nor feed to...ok, Hegseth could have it in solitary awaiting execution I guess. But nobody else, nor their pets, should ever consume this.

More like this, please.

Aw crap, I lied, turns out the show was Feb. 1987, so I couldn't have heard an unreleased version on a commercial radio station. I certainly knew OF them at the time of the show, though, you couldn't avoid seeing them in the Village Voice. tmbw.net/wiki/Shows/1...

He’s not “clumsy,” he’s cognitively impaired. It’s a Big Fucking Deal that our president needs people to interpret what he meant because he can’t string together words in any coherent way.
