when you think about it KORN was the fleetwood mac of their day

“We’ve decided to give the former neo-Nazi an important job, shaping policy for the next Conservative government, not emptying the bins in Loserham-on-Sea.”

I wish it was 10 years. 10 years ago was just round 2 after the longest GFC non-recovery possible.

if the razor thin margin went the other way it would have been 'democrats reject controversial candidate'

when i was a kid, we simply didn't have nazis running for public office.

It's OK for criminal ex-neo Nazis to run your bins is a hell of a line.

I will speak ill of the dead, because they do not have the capacity for change.

The lack of self awareness of all these people eulogising this asshole. The same people, using their national/international platforms and column inches to do this, while getting paid weekly to complain about the 'liberal media elite' just like the man they're defending..

"And in real life, Rod was kind and generous. He came to dinner at my house, and brought his family along to one of my Christmas parties, no doubt turning down far grander invitations to be there." Hitler was an animal lover, you know... Doted on his German Shepherd dogs...

There's a whole generation on the left who has never gotten a general election option that wasn't conciliatory and bipartisan in the face of an open Republican plan to undermine voting AND the judiciary. Why would they support the status quo?

gah, this is the bit I hate - I never use AI products and very much go out of my way to never interact with anything produced by AI (I'm not even on Linkedin!) so it will....make me worse at weeding it out of my life in the future? I just want to opt out! why can't I be allowed to opt out!

Trump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."

Everyone who overpaid for shipping is refunded and now it's fixed :) if you order now it's just flat fees and it all combines well and it's (much) more reasonable for international buyers as well!!!

HI I MADE A MISTAKE ON THE AUTO-CALCULATE FOR SHIPPING COSTS I AM SO SORRY. We're still open for preorders if you want to cancel your order and re-make it you can, or I can try to figure out how to refund you for the difference; Big Cartel changed their shipping calculations, I am so sorry.

TRAN GIRLISMO MERCH IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER victoriascott.bigcartel.com/category/tra...

In the United States, about 20 percent of trans kids attempted suicide. 0.00005 percent of high school athletes are trans

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

i have spent basically all my adult life living in various rented accommodation with white walls that i couldn't even hang a poster or picture on.

you're supposed to talk about how 'thought provoking' and 'brave' their writing was, without mentioning specifics or giving examples, before talking about how pleasant they were when you had drinks/dinner with them.

I always find it difficult to know what to say when someone who has dedicated their lives to punching down, spreading lies and making life harder and more miserable for us all, passes away.

this site's main character is at it again. pure engagement bait, will this one result in a few dozen threads by serious people about how he's such a smart lil guy and everyone's just so mean to him?

This is Loki, our Maine Coon and the cat of our hearts, and he went missing today. We have no idea how he got out, but he’s an elder, indoor cat, the whole region’s in an intense heat wave, and we’re really scared. I doubt I have any followers here in Martinez, CA, but if so, help? It’s SO hot

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

Folks like this are generally very averse to the idea that they are not paid to write software they’re paid to solve problems as quickly as possible

Just in case anyone here is interested, my ‘85 VW Scirocco is for sale. Low miles (40k), runs and drives great, tidy interior. Paint is bad and it has some dents and scrapes, but is entirely rust free. Comes with loads of spares. $4000 OBO, in St Paul, MN.

This man did not study at the stancil school of plausible deniability engagement bait.

Long covid is a disputed subject, at best.

I tried to explain this to someone once and it just kinda broke their brain. Then they fretted that I'd lose the valuable skill of... being able to scroll through Google search results. Reading primary sources magically doesn't count if you navigated to them via the Impure Sin Machine apparently.

"Whilst we do not share the views of all these organisations, we recognise the concerns raised by those labelled as “anti-rights” in the document" BUT THEY ARE. THEY ARE. THEY LITERALLY ARE. THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE FORMED TO DO, TO REMOVE RIGHTS. THAT IS LITERALLY THEIR PURPOSE

I mean seemingly 80% of the people on this website are under-employed writers, artists or other creatives hoping to build some kind of self-sustaining patronage based system where every artist supports every other artist financially so they can all do it full time.

One of the weirder effects of Bluesky is how commonly I encounter people asking for money nowadays.

The professional poasters engagement dilemma, knowing the only way you can achieve consistency, is to poast stuff that generates engagement, but the stuff that does that means a lot of people will get personally mad at you, and as a professional, you can't let the amateurs see you flinch.

Rude Law Dog@esghound.com · 6d ago

perhaps a very bad poster, but then again who isn't from time to time

I'm sorry if people who need screen-readers can't read my stuff, but you gotta understand they were literally right-clicking all my apes.
