Idk. I think "centrism" is just a way to deny you actually are right wing bc you are self aware enough to be ashamed of being a right winger. 😅

The Democratic party is going to tank El-Sayed's campaign and their chance at the senate because they'd rather lose as lapdogs for aipac and capital than win with center-left populism

It makes a lot more sense foe Lü Bu to so readily betray Dong Zhou in the book than the 2010 show. In the show they behave like close allies, while in the book they began working together last thuesday. Treason becomes easier with practice, and Lü Bu is a shortsighted brute.

My basic thesis is that too many people have "video game brain" and only understand war through the lens of first person shooters. My more advanced thesis is that they're playing the wrong video games.

In the western half of the Roman empire, soldiers stopped recieving their paychecks. One by one, they went home. And so, Rome fell.

In case you wanted to know how deeply embedded rape culture is in the US, about half of all form leases have an increasingly common clause that says something to the effect of "no overnight guests without the permission of the landlord." Which, of course, purports to control a tenant's sex life.

Texans, check your voter registration.

Dallas Morning News reported that Texas has suspended 6% of registered voters without telling them Texans can use this link to check their voting status: goelect.txelections.civixapps.com/ivis-mvp-ui/... People who have been purged can still register before October 5. Tell everyone you know.

“…in a YouGov survey shared exclusively with The Washington Post, Americans said the systems wouldn’t make them feel any safer and they were reluctant to have the cameras installed near their homes.”

To the cis gatekeeper, the correct number of transitions is zero. Anything else is a failure. A "healthy" body is not a trans one, by definition. They see healthcare not as a tool to better a person's autonomy but a structure to keep us on the "right path". Burn it all.

Rose Schmits@roseschmits.bsky.social · 16h ago

With whats happened in Wales we really are now at the point where the moral panic can shut down transition care full stop cause of the “scandal” that transition happens, at all.

I'm happy to see that vibe coding is doing well.

I saw an ad for an "AI assistant" and it was like "Give me advice for taking my dog to the beach. He loves to swim." And it was like "Pack towels!" ... Duh? Do... Do people need technical support to remember things like this?

You know, I hadn't quite intended for this wizard to look so evil. The glowing white eyes were nice, I couldn't get the orb the right shade of red, and then I just experimented. Definitely a daemonologist or a dark mage, I have not quite decided just yet.

The thing about Batman the Animated series is that it genuineky is a work of art. You can take many a still from this show, print it and frame it on the wall.

A Bullet for Bullock makes me appreciate this absolute bastard of a man. He's one of the few old hands of the GCPD from before Gordon cleaned house; meaning that he really shouldn't be allowed to work as a cop. Not corrupt, but a man who regularly breaks all rules on the force. A great character.

I just don't get gambling as a general "leisure" activity People without hope or math literacy? Ok, I get that. Betting to put your money where your mouth is? Get that too. But like. Just gambling for fun. Idgi. Gaming lootboxes bore the piss out of me and usually make me do X activity less.

As I keep saying, misogyny, pedophilia & transphobia are one singular issue. Either all humans have inherent rights, or some people get to dehumanize others.

Sapling 🌱@sacredsapling.bsky.social · 24h ago

Woke up to this news and I’m beyond disgusted. It’s a US *constitutional right* now to create and own ‘CSAM,’ as long as it was made with AI?? AI gen images are built from real images, of real children. This directly re-exploits every single CSAM survivor. (More in 🧵) #abolition #trafficking

"I kept working for the secret police long after the regime started trying to exterminate my entire demographic. But then they fired me!" Well, more fool you. Actions have consequences and you were perfectly fine with others suffering them for a very, very long time.

New catch-22 same as the old catch-22 "...the sailor has been accused of violating Article 83 for “malingering,” which is defined as a service member “intentionally faking an illness or hurting themselves to avoid work, duty or service,” and Article 86 for “absence without leave..."

The sailor on the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier who jumped overboard in an attempt to die by suicide has been charged with violations and could have his pay docked.

Hey, remember when Obama spent eight years not closing Guantanamo? I guess the centrists were all at brunch during all those years.

Looks like we’re using Gitmo to imprison immigrants again. This is an ICE charter airline owned by ICE’s flight broker using the callsign they use for all their ICE flights.

Once again I am asking if these data centers everywhere no one who lives there wants are so great, how come they're all fuckin secrets?

NDAs are hiding data center deals, drawing ire from locals — and attention from lawmakers

Nondisclosure agreements covered up negotiations between a tech company and several local and state officials, surprising local residents. It's a tactic used around the country in data center deals.

I just think in any system of government that even remotely claims to be democratic that elected politicians signing non-disclosure agreements with corporations would be as illegal as gambling on election outcomes but what do I know I'm an anarcho-communist aka a threat to the American way of life

So is the sheer dissonance of being the central fixation of right-wing propaganda campaigns while still being treated as a fringe or niche issue by putative "allies" eroding anyone else's sanity to a fucking nub Or just me

"A people united, can never be ignited!"

let's be honest, all the biopics about how Dolly Parton was 'moderate' or 'neutral' politically are propaganda because if the media said 'yeah Parton was openly a leftist politically' that would lead to people who identify with Parton going 'wait, if Parton was a commie maybe it's not so bad.'
