I'm a one-issue voter and that issue is preventing the Republicans from ever gaining power again. Do the Democrats suck? By and large, yes. They frustrate the fuck out of me with their fecklessness. But they ain't Nazis.

You can't beat fascism by agreeing with fascism. You can't beat fascists by accepting a fascist frame. Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC - @electdemocrats.bsky.social) is running anti-trans ads now, so I don't know how you can say the party itself isn't embracing transphobia. There are still some good Dems out there, but transphobia is apparently a party value.

RFK decided to once again target maskers in a speech, laughing about going to LA and seeing people driving in their cars while masked. And I want to make sure people know that studies have shown that the reason someone might wear a mask in their car is that it's none of your fucking business.

Americans are never going to have the country they want until they recognize the Republican party as a terrorist organization and destroy it completely

Labour seem unable to learn that in some situations there is a right side and a wrong side. Sometimes a compromise is entirely inappropriate. There’s no balance to be found between racists and non-racists. No balance between climate change deniers and reality.

I'm glad Maryland uses a paper ballot

If you wear a mask- I don't care If you don't wear a mask- I still don't care If you wear it around your chin or with your nose hanging out- I hate that with the heat of a thousand stars

oh my fucking god if you / your household are at the doctor for a respiratory infection and in the year of our collective suffering 2026, the office has *actually* asked y'all to wear a surgical mask for fucks sake don't leave your nose hanging out

And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack!” and it turned into a ballroom grift. And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom grift.”

The CCW holder who ended this guy is a parent of two students at the school. High marks to him for deciding to engage. Train hard, fight easy.

It's almost as if a certain personality type was drawn to law enforcement

Erin Fogg says Free Link@criminalerin.bsky.social

"James Heneghan, a 33-year-old Hancock County Sheriff’s Deputy, was arrested Thursday morning on a warrant charging him with 441 counts of intimidation, official misconduct and fraud. Detectives allege that Heneghan made over 6,190 searches between Dec. 2024 and March 2026..."

I hate the entire consumer-facing "A.i." industry so much. Just unrelenting, massive social damage and extraction. A deeply repugnant, immoral, anti-human business.

Ada Palmer@adapalmer.bsky.social

I’m especially frustrated by the piece uncritically repeating Pangram’s “no false positives” claim when I know writer friends who have run their own work through & had it flag their 100% human-written sentences as machine-generated. We must doubt any company’s claim about its product having 0 fails.

Stop drinking in the Nazi bar

Today is the best day for people to end their connections to X, Starlink and SpaceX. Yesterday would have been better, but I'm being reasonable.

Workers in France who felt ther livelihoods were threatened by automation flung their wooden shoes, called "sabots," into the machines, stopping them Hence the term "sabotage"

Ottawa: AI will help us cut 40,000 public service jobs. Also Ottawa: here are 10,000 placements. Good luck! If government is replacing its own workers with AI, imagine what companies have planned.

They asked Michael Caine what he thought about being in "Jaws The Revenge" and he said, "I haven't seen it and I hear it's awful. But I have seen the house it paid for, and it is terrific."

It took 2 torturous years to kill my father

Nash@radiodeadair.com

Death by COPD is one of the longest, ugliest, most painful and torturous ways you can die. The thought of these dipshits doing it to themselves voluntarily elicits naught but a shrug from me.

Ramasmarmy's primary opponent, appropriately named Putsch, is a straight-up Nazi so no surprise he won't be voting for the brown guy

BeshearStan@beshearstan.bsky.social

Vivek Ramaswamy's primary opponent (who got 17% in the GOP primary) is signaling that he won't vote because Ohio Republicans "sold us all out." Is that good??

First move in any fight is to take out your opponent's knees or eyes. Sharks don't have knees, so your task is easier.

Shark attack survivor Mel Ismail jabbed at the eye of the predator that severed his leg in an effort to fight it off before struggling back to shore, the surfer and professional firefighter said in an interview that revealed new details of his near-death encounter.

Man, if the State tries to execute a death-row inmate and fails, that ought to be the end of it. They should get to walk.

That's because Matt Jefferies was a cotdamned certified areo-mechanical genius

Spy Fi@spy-fi.bsky.social

It looks cool too! Seriously though, I know I’m probably biased since I’m a TOS guy, but everything about Matt Jefferies design seems planned out and functional. The entirety of the TOS sets feels like a real place.

The way Zionists believe that the entire world should prioritize their psychic comfort, over literally EVERYTHING & EVERYONE else continues to astound me No, we DON’T have to coddled your emotional reaction to being called out for the criminal, genocidal, immoral bullshit you embrace. Suck it up!
