My neighbor told me progressives keep eating centrist candidates in primaries and so I asked how much his centrist PACs are spending and he said oh just a couple dozen mil every primary so I said it sounds like he's just feeding billions to broadcast TV networks and then his daughter started crying.

The rumors are true. Stand by for more.

he's a video game streamer turned pundit whose takes are informed by a warmed over millennial understanding of Chomskyist campism. this makes him more directionally correct than like 80% of federal dem electeds older than 50 and 100% of the MSM, but it also means he's really stupid

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

Rich urbanites need to allow apartments to be built near them to lower rents and they need to allow themselves to be taxed more to fund services and housing if they want to eliminate homelessness. Both involve sharing (money/space/amenities), which the rich urbanite is loathe to do.

This is the exact problem, right here: people would rather make up a social justice warrior to get mad at than take a hard, honest look at the problem.

whenever someone tells you that it's simply impossible for police to be charged with misconduct or criminal charges, you can tell they're wrong because some cops do get charged regularly — when they are whistleblowers or reformers prosecutors are actually extremely eager to help drum them out!

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Fuck Amnesty, they're not getting a cent from me going forward if they fold like wet cardboard at the slightest pushback on human rights. What is the org even for???

This is the last bipartisan consensus in America; basically everybody agrees that if you murder someone with your car it should be legal.

you cant have “good faith concerns” about trans kids in sports if theres a couple dozen nationwide. its not possible. you have been brainwashed to believe its possible but it is not possible. the very nature of the facts make it impossible to have “good faith” concerns about this

victoria zeller🫛 (RISEBALL, summer ‘27)@dirtbagqueer.rocks · 7d ago

enough of this shit

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · 6d ago

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

Noise pollution has more and more research proving it to be far more damaging and dangerous than previously thought. As someone very sensitive to noise I think we need to take it far more seriously and force the sources to mitigate their pollution or move to places where it wont hurt people

having cast skepticism over claims of "infrasound" from data centers: *actual* noise pollution, the kind you can hear, is extremely bad. both a directly annoying nuisance and one that has scientifically proven negative health impacts.

lol, annnnnnnd there's the nail in the coffin, if there was still any doubt:

People didn't consume fresh produce because they didn't want to, access barely mattered to consumption habits by income. Grocery stores in poor areas basically subsidized the fresh produce they did carry by selling soda, tobacco and processed food at high markups.

dear god, hearing the way some people have just completely integrating AI shit into their everyday lives is so sad and embarrassing and alienating. you motherfuckers have me on the verge of believing in the existence of the human soul. awful

Approximately 1 out of 3 women will experience sexual and/or physical abuse in their lifetime and you still have men claiming that allegations must be false because there are too many of them. It’s actually the opposite. The vast majority allegations will never become public
