3-5* probably. That's more than enough for me to take it seriously. And _any_ excuse would be bullshit, except maybe 'my healthcare depends on it', and even then - wtf bro? *there have been way more than that re: trans people. We should have pushed back hard a loooong time ago.
cait (and adonis)@cait.bsky.social · 2d agohere's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?
Not sure what brand of bee friend this is, but they got caught in the rain storm, so I convinced them to get on this flower and hang out til it stopped

Phil Plait@philplait.bsky.social · 3w agoWhen a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.
Every so often I get to think of something that is not awful. I interviewed Henry freaking Rollins about his quest with Ian MacKaye and a few other schemers to revive Vengeance Records, The Cramps’ record label: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

At this point, being Chuck Schumer's preferred candidate is like being endorsed by a plague rat. I'd vote against anyone he favors just on general principles.
