Every single person still on twitter, still posting are encouraging young white men to enter the radicalization pipeline of twitter They see their heroes. They want to be like you. So they go where you are, create accounts and while you are too smart to fall for it, they are repeatedly exposed…

Not enough people talking abt how many white millennials are so deeply entrenched in the Cult. Conservative social media lies got them (and got them at a young age) and have absolutely hoodwinked them.

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.

I’m back from my one-week suspension for saying something nice about Luigi. While I was gone, I won a pinball tournament!

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

Has any institution had a steeper fall from respectable journalism to pathetic bootlicking than @washingtonpost.com ? It's a good thing Watergate didn't happen today, because their headline would read "Some Say President is Guilty of Covering Up Crimes, but Legal Experts Aren't Sure"

New: White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia calls herself a lawyer. There’s no evidence she was admitted to practice law in the United States, and legal experts say foreign citizens cannot take the bar in China. My deep dive: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This episode was great. It’s like they never left. It’s so clear how much love the crew put into it and yet it has that same scrappy charm the original show had. Recommend giving it a watch if you can

The first brand-new MST3K episode STING OF DEATH is available right now, immediately, at once, other words to indicate that concept! If you missed it in movie theaters, now’s your chance. You can also order a package of this plus the three next eps in various formats, as they come out. Enjoy!

For everyone who spent #MeToo fretting “what if this goes too far?”—be of good cheer! It turns out we didn’t go too far at all! It turns out we didn’t nearly far enough! Good job guys!

I don’t want to sound glib, but if a woman actually wanted to “make up a crime to ruin a man’s reputation,” they’d pick one that people actually give a shit about, like hurting a dog or something.

*gritted teeth* For God's sake, someone free Star Trek from Paramount

Jon Passantino@passantino.bsky.social

👀 Paramount is pursuing an 8-figure deal for the rights to a Lindsey Graham documentary, which is said to include behind-the-scenes footage of the late senator speaking candidly with David Ellison. The scoop in @status.news www.status.news/p/paramount-...

Was hanging with an old pinball head last weekend, he asked about cool new games to maybe buy. I suggested Winchester Mystery House. He adamantly declared he would never touch a satanic game like that - it has a Ouija board depicted on the apron!! Always sad to discover someone is an idiot. #pinball

Prior to genAI, the term “AI” was most commonly used to refer to the simple code that controlled NPCs in games. I call LLM chatbots “AI” as a derogatory reference to Skyrim vendors who will calmly stand there and let you steal from them if you put a bucket over their head to block line of sight.

awfullycrispy 🎃@awfullycrispy.bsky.social

Well and AI as a term has basically been muddy forever. We use it to refer to a million different things that have basically nothing in common and always have If we ever actually make a computer that thinks we just need a new term lol

Hey, quick question. What's the maximum number of people who you are willing to exterminate in order to win an election? Because personally, my number is zero.

install.exe@lakecounty1975.bsky.social

What if they were yes on trans kids but no on abortion? Yes on abortion but no on ACA extensions? Yes on the ACA extensions but no on curtailing ICE? Should Dems just voluntarily stay in the minority until the candidate that meets 100% of expectations AND can win in a blood-red state comes along?

Trans people are a slightly LARGER percent of the US population in 2026 than Jewish people were in Germany in 1933. Assholes who say trans folk aren’t worth defending because of population size are telling us exactly who they would have been in Nazi Germany.

This is as fucking dumb as me accusing British people of faking their accent.

👻 Jack Djinn Wail 🧞@jacktindale.bsky.social

Minor point but I really hate this performative “y’all” people do to try and appear more folksy. I don’t type in a Yorkshire accent and I did people would rightly tell me to shut up.

Also, as others have pointed out in that thread, “y’all” is a gender-neutral second person unambiguously plural pronoun — extremely useful, linguistically! Unless we’re bringing back “thou”, something is going to fill that gap.

It’s truly amazing how centrist “democrats” will believe the founding myths of the US entirely uncritically, but absolutely cannot even for a moment think that the USSR was ever anything but a bunch of evil socialists plotting to kill people and throw them into gulags first chance they got.

pezpunk reposted

Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries are, by trying to destroy Hassan Piker, telling us that they prefer Trump to anyone pushing change even if it means Democrats winning— because they too are enriched by the same capitalists. I wish people would listen.

They’ll say it was peacefully in my sleep, but let be know I was probably having a very annoying dream.

My mom hated to fly, so when we took vacations from Virginia, we drove to Texas, Florida, Kansas, New York, etc, in our 1985 Plymouth Voyager. We flew exactly once, to Las Vegas, and then drove around that side of the map to see the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, redwoods, Alcatraz, etc.

This is just racism. Absolutely disgusting and shameful racism by the New York Times. If you subscribe to that rag, you are a lousy human being.

Absolutely vile framing from the @nytimes.com. Why doesn’t this leave behind hard questions for the media that hounded him? Or the global right-wing that gleefully turned a local matter into an international incident?

So just to be clear, Hong losing by a small margin to a moderate candidate means the DSA is over but last week, El-Sayed winning by a small margin over a moderate candidate...also meant the DSA was over???

Liberals also feared the threat posed by “Woke 1” in its material demands for racial justice (abolition) and proto-socialism (M4A) and they responded by appropriating the language of the movement. This is what fueled the success of the MAGA backlash and brought us to this moment.

pezpunk reposted

What is being ridiculed here as “Woke 1” is a discursive environment wherein racism/misogyny/transphobia were largely considered beyond the pale. The right, out of fear and rage, fought back to reclaim space for that mode of speech. This is a complete surrender to their terms.

Happy Second Contact Day! Star Trek: Lower Decks premiered six years ago today. Five seasons was not enough. I miss them! #StarTrekLowerDecks #LowerDecks #SecondContactDay #IMissLowerDecks #MoreLowerDecks

It's over. El-Sayed's got this. Not enough votes in hard-leaning Stevens counties to plausibly make up the margin.

1997's Dungeon Keeper: You are the evil owner of a dungeon, building treasure rooms, traps, and hallways, and breeding minions to populate them. NPC heroes invade and try to steal your treasure. The actual gameplay wasn't very refined, and the idea would benefit from modern Tower Defense mechanics!
