This is true and I can say that because I was raised among them (though thankfully not by them). It really was abortion, and it didn't make any sense more then than it does now. They live in a constant state of fear, and it makes them insane.

Explaining to my kids that until I was born (1980) evangelical fundamentalist Christians just kind of like were around but most people didn't know very many, or knew a lot of em, they were just weirdos & didn't run the entire government and its courts and military like some kind of PERSON in a BOOK

That is also partially Jimmy Carter's fault! See, not EVERYTHING bad is Reagan's doing. #centrism

Reagan turbo fucking the discourse by deregulating everything didn't help much with media literacy either. Or regular literacy.

Women in comedy have only been saying directly into the microphone 6 men just before her rubbed onto their dicks that there are actually very many people who people think are funny who are exceptionally bad harmful predators like it's not a flex to say it's not hilarious when Hitler's geeked out

Bill Cosby’s “Himself” was absolutely formative for me. It made me laugh hysterically, helped shape my sense of humor, and it got me through some really tough times. I had basically committed the entire thing to memory. And then we all learned that man is inarguably, objectively a terrible person.

I told my teens about Ted Hughes just the other day and 15 asked me to take a breath cuz I was starting to sound a little scary

"Hey. Do you like American Werewolf In London? Oh, you DO? Well I hope you're sitting down."

Never once during the GW years did I ever imagine someone could someday be worse than he was.

This is why I've never bought the "right wingers can't make art or comedy" line. If you truly belueve that then I invite you to look at the politics of the people who made some of your beloved 80s nostalgia (tm) media

Bad people can say funny things it's not a character strength or sign of trustworthiness to make u laugh! It's ok to say frex Trump says funny shit sometimes! It's not healthy for you to deny funny stuff is funny bc you've come to believe no one who is bad can be funny! That's not safe!

16 wanted to know how the saying actually went that GW made very funny so I told her and she said that it's not funny and then I explained how GW has the juice and Jeb (which I said "no it's not" to her "is that his real name") does not and then explained how GHW's CIA stole an election to do 9/11

NEW for @binjdotnews.bsky.social: Thomas “Tommy” Rosa was exonerated due to DNA testing and research about the unreliability of eyewitness testimony. At one point in his decades-long fight for freedom, prosecutors declined to call on their own DNA expert whose findings skewed from their narrative.

“Many of Australia’s datacentres are US-owned.” Oh, lol.

I'm already warning Brits against privatized healthcare so I can encourage Aussies to rebel against data centers why not

rumor has it* all the australian men have massive crushes on the american ladies protesting data centers and they want to kiss them all on the cheeks, hand them hot coffees, and tell them how bad ass and inspiring they are *i made it up, just now, but it’s probably true

Extremely rare American cultural reputation abroad win lol

Australian backlash to datacentres is faux import from US, officials say: ‘We are not the United States’

Pro-datacentre officials argue scale of Australia’s buildout is smaller, more regulated and less damaging than in US

Cleaning out clogged drainage grates with a stick during storms would create more public safety in one afternoon that cops have created since they existed which was as slave catchers

A good 75% of my issues with cops would go away if they didn't have guns. And the other 25% would go away if the DA's office didn't work for them.

“At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care.” H/t @ameshaa.bsky.social

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.
