If you‘re white and you’re posting wrecker shit about Michigan, just fucking don’t. Shutting up is free. I’m disappointed and not hopeful about November but shutting up is fucking free. Don’t be in Black mentions making demands of their support either! Shutting up is free!

I wanna talk about books more (absolutely stole this from jj)

The venn diagram might be pretty round, but actual unionmember tradesmen also all fight for their kids to go to college.

Zero rich Republicans — literally zero — send their kids to trade school. But they push trade school relentlessly on the middle class. It's interesting!

People are arguing between road design and enforcement. In the Netherlands, not only do they have both, but they have a third tool: presumed liability. Drivers who hit a pedestrian or cyclist are presumed to be at fault until proven otherwise. This would be a powerful tool in our litigious society.

A very genuine pet issue of mine is when people get too comfortable comparing the struggles/prejudices faced by non humans or magic/super people in literature with the struggles and prejudices of real life peoples… burning witches who can actually curse you is a lot different if curses are real

look minorities are not walking bombs so the analogy kinda completely fails and his proposal was entirely reasonable it was a ccheckbox on a census people lost their minds over

100 years doesnt work lol but when each of my grandparents were 25 I have, Air force officer, army officer in Vietnam, phd candidate and secretary

Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

i genuinely do not understand how people say Korra is a bad show

My broiling hottest make people froth at the mouth like they're possessed by demons take is that Hillary Clinton was and still is substantially to the left of Bernie Sanders, because she actually believes in the existence of racism and sexism, and he fundamentally does not.

I have the power rangers mystic force theme stuck in my head 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Follow you on x? You mean unfollow you on bsky?

Take the word "ogre" out entirely and you still have Abdul El-Sayed saying he wants to put Haley Stevens "on a pike" so that everyone else "gets the message".

“How dare you say he has problems with women” He compared her to an ogre in the final week of the campaign.

So how silly of a crush is it that somewhere between getting a yes on a taking him on a first date and mile 6 of my run, i imagined wedding tuxes?

anyway it’s ok to dislike characters but most people don’t like Korra bc they hate women, not because she’s poorly written (which she isn’t) or weak (which she isn’t)

pepper, now with wings 🍉🦇@descovyschild.slut.dog · 2w ago

gm people are hating on Korra again and now i have to remind you all that the show is designed to force the viewer to consider that even the people who are the most powerful who are meant to bring justice and balance to the world are still people with human flaws who still experience life as people

Sometimes I am reminded of how bad the ending of game of thrones was and how its just vanished from our culture. What a wild mess that was lmao

Esp when the next thing that comes out of folks mouths is "so that's why you should join and help change it" and I'm like

trying to balance between hope, that the new series makes it clear Korra is the best and specifically refutes her haters, fear, the new series is written to confirm the haters, resignation, that itll just be a mixed bag, and knowledge, my girls name is going to be dragged through the mud for a while

i have no idea how i got this but i should use it for something

Its so fucking weird how they invented a term for being attracted to fat men and still the cult of skinny had to kill it. They will both believe that men with 6 packs have dad bods if they arent twinks and also claim that its gross to be attracted to them anyway

Nick Andrews@twitchnick.bsky.social · 2w ago

Everytime I see something on instagram or whatever talking about someone’s “dad bod” even though they are jacked, I want to commit a murder

The future is going to be full of AI, robots, mRNA, peptides, gene editing, space travel, autonomous vehicles, maglevs, quantum computing, lab-grown meat, and augmented reality, and I, for one, am here for it.

I’ve been standing stock still in this wood for about 10 minutes while I mess about with a photo on my phone. I look up, notice the shape, and slowly crouch down to film This has made me so happy I feel I could cry. It’s as close to magic as I hope to get.

ngl, every time i see a cute little mean nickname like that i think about how right wing coded having cute little mean nicknames for your political opponents is.

I don’t know what is funnier, this pathetic DSA platform, or all the dsa types in the replies saying “you should join anyway, were good at other stuff we promise”

Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · 2w ago

i'm sorry, my copy must be missing some pages, is this really the entirety of the DSA's foreign policy platform? program.dsausa.org cause "unilateral US withdrawal worldwide", israel/palestine, no sanctions [lol], and abolish ice (Which is not FP) is, uh, remarkably short...

So many anti intellectuals mad at this who think that economics, the social science, is responsible for and/on possibly synonymous with the stock market/the US Economy in the 2020s

oliver@eikopf.com · 2w ago

very tired of pretending that dismissing modern economics is somehow more reasonable than dismissing vaccines. if you’re not an expert, you don’t get to pick and choose parts of a field to believe! you have no way to tell between legitimate and illegitimate results in that field!

Real "this joke can't be misogynist because they said 'white women' instead of 'women'" energy.
