Netanyahu is the leader of a country halfway around the world and here he is in front of the United Nations attacking NYC's mayor and a leftist Twitch streamer. The right wing fascists are so desperate to discredit the left because, unlike the left, they offer no real solutions to anything.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 2d ago

Netanyahu directly attacks Zohran Mamdani (and his wife) from the UNGA podium, calling him the "antisemitic mayor of New York City," parroting The Free Press's stories about Rama Duwaji, tying Mamdani to Hasan Piker, and claiming the mayor is "buddies" with Hamas.

The full NYT interview is so dire. It's very clear that the only reason these 12 Trump voters consider themselves "swing" voters on Talarico/Paxton is because they hate Paxton. Most of them were quick to drift right back to the GOP the very moment that a "better" choice of candidate was offered.

Wow its so crazy how this only seems to happen to trans people and not the side wishing LITERAL GENOCIDE on us. #freethebugs is back ig. Let my friend out of mod jail. This is so ridiculous.

In a just world, the UN wouldn't have let him speak, they would've arrested his ass on the spot. But that would risk angering the United States, so unfortunately here we are, giving this prick a platform he doesn't deserve instead of treating him to a small cell in an international prison.

Room empties out at the UN as Netanyahu begins his speech.

The "Future of Marathon" post implies they're trying to recreate the Destiny "feel", which makes it clear that this was never about a "passion" for extraction shooters. The devs wanted to make Marathon, while studio execs wanted to chase a trend, and those interests conflicted.

Centrists demand that we accept anti-trans candidates in red and purple states because "we can't win otherwise". But Newsom won't defend trans people despite being governor of a blue state, and they want HIM to run for president. Because at the end of the day, centrists just hate trans people.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 3d ago

Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited future governors from handing over abortion providers, helpers, and patients to red states for criminal prosecution. The bill also barred extraditions involving transgender care.

“Eh, I don’t see it,” straight cis man Billy Fartson told us, against our will. “I think it’s pretty obvious that the ‘she’ who’s lovely and less than 10 minutes old is Emrakul, a creature as old as the universe itself.”

They waited until people had forgotten about it and now they're dropping it on everyone suddenly so that the community doesn't have time to organize and push back like last time. If you didn't cancel Discord Nitro before, you should do so now, and don't renew it for any reason.

There is no way that Bungie can unvault the game AND eventually make new stuff for Destiny 2 AND keep working on an entire second game when they've laid off so much of the talent they needed to make it in the first place. Stop trusting executives just because they say what you want to hear.

Bungie has over 300 LESS employees now than they did in June, and they would have to rebuild most of this vaulted content from scratch. I don't see how they can possibly live up to this promise AND keep expanding Marathon. Feels like more empty promises, and I have no trust left to give to Bungie.

Dems are responding to this post with "he's actually a Green Party member", as if there haven't been any number of self-proclaimed Democrats doing the exact same thing, begging trans people to sacrifice themselves for everyone else. I've lost count of how many I've blocked in the last year alone.

Paul F. Tompkins@pftompkins.bsky.social · last wk.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

"We were on the Vineyard or in Greece" Ah, so they were rich assholes who are mad that they got outvoted by actual regular people who are sick of the rich assholes stealing all their money and wasting it on trips to the vineyard or Greece.

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · last wk.

Marcy is proud of how she votes like a Republican. She voted for the Defense of Marriage Act, voted to censure Al Green for his criticisms of Trump, voted to give Trump more powers and refused to impeach him, etc. She is not "better than a Republican". She is one. And she's gonna lose as one, too.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · last wk.

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.

Split Second is a very limited keyword (only appears on 23 other cards before this) for a reason. Even if it doesn't break competitive (and it probably will), that blue Samut honestly shouldn't exist at all.

TCGplayer@tcgplayer.com · last wk.

Whether she's leading an army with haste, or shutting down your opponent's responses, Samut is going to be all about setting the pace of the battle in #MTGFracture! Thank you to @magic.wizards.com for this exclusive Reality Fracture preview! #mtg #magicthegathering

Some are saying that Tam should be a Rulebreaker instead of 5C. Which is like complaining about having too much vanilla ice cream and asking for french vanilla instead. I'll say it again: Rulebreaker is not a "fix" to 5C. Tam with Rulebreaker would still have the exact same problem: theme. #MtG

"Socially transitioned" Ah, so basically the school...started using their preferred name and pronouns. THE HORROR. To raise such a big stink about something so minor, this family is at the very least emotionally abusive to their kid, 100%.

Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 2w ago

Every time one of these stories comes out, it's shown that the parents were actually abusive. There is an asymmetry where the parents are given a platform by Christian nationalist orgs and Fox News while the state cannot discuss any details due to privacy. So the narrative is set by the parents.

THIS is the guy multiple people said they had 20 minute conversations with? I think we should question his capacity for speech when he lacks even the basic motor function to keep his jaw closed! He may not be physically dead, but this is NOT the look of someone mentally fit to serve in Congress.

Honestly, all of the arguments against Commander damage are terrible. "21 is a weird number" is aesthetics and not a real justification to change anything, "it's too hard to track" is just an abject lie, and "it rarely comes up" at best only justifies YOU not tracking it, not a format change.

Kristen@narukamiknight.bsky.social · 2w ago

I genuinely will never understand people who want to remove Commander damage It’s a check on lifegain, it creates a whole playstyle and archetype, and is probably one of the easiest things to track in modern day Commander It just feels like change for change sake

So if Diablo keeps coming back when you kill him, but he CAN be imprisoned in a soulstone, then why haven't the heroes of Sanctuary stuck him in a soulstone and shot him into space so he can't come back? Are they stupid?

"One more thing Miss Barlow... you were about 14 in 2001, and you grew up in the UK, so why did they dismiss your school at noon on 9/11, when the attacks would have happened around 2 pm your time? I just don't understand how the school knew the attacks would be happening later"

flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social · 2w ago

A helpful key here for understanding what wingnuttery is and how it works, here. I 100% guarantee you this did not happen and that the boys she’s talking about - she later clarified they were “Pakistani” - do not exist. And yet, I can also assure you Eve is *absolutely convinced* she saw this.

don't care. still gonna make it their problem. grit your teeth and say the pronouns or take a hit to your turnout

Ashley Schofield is looking for work! 🐉@ashlikeadragon.bsky.social · 2w ago

there is an uncomfortable truth that i think a lot of people like to avoid because it makes political discussions over trans people fall apart and it is that the 'progressive' parties (labour, dems etc) aren't abandoning us for political points they just want us dead too

I'll go even further: the moment you decide that SOME people need to sacrifice their rights for the sake of everyone else, you've accepted one of the core tenets of fascism. Which makes you a collaborator in my mind. I will not vote for Diet Fascism just to make shitty people feel better.

Mere days ago, there were conservatives demanding that Mamdani not come to the 9/11 memorial service just for being Muslim. Mamdani was NINE YEARS OLD when the towers were hit. The Muslim community suffered EXTREME racial prejudice post-9/11, and still does to this day. Insane thing to post.

Senator Elissa Slotkin@slotkin.senate.gov · 2w ago

But that feeling of a shared bond among all Americans in the early weeks after the attack is something I’m so glad I got to experience. Because it’s the thing that I think we’re missing the most today.

Getting endlessly tired of liberals saying Hillary Clinton was "right about everything". Just a few months ago she was encouraging us to accept Trump's plan on Gaza because it was the "best option" available. This is yet another late pivot because she's ALWAYS had shit political instincts.

Hillary Clinton: "I love Israel, and I hate Netanyahu's government and his policies. I love America, and I hate Trump's government and policies ... if the Israelis want to vote for that again, then I think the United States has to take a very tough position."

What followed was a 20 minute diatribe on how I’m anti-blue. How he was just doing what had to be done for the people he loved. In every scenario he was blameless, but it did not sound like he believed himself free of blame.

This is a bribe. Dems should be filing impeachment charges RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. And I I need you to know that if your response is "b-but we don't have the votes...", I don't give a shit. If we refuse to even TRY to push back in the face of fascism, then fascism is what we'll end up with.

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 2w ago

President Donald Trump pledged to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. The promise, made at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas, could cost over $1 trillion and would require congressional approval.
