white dude conservative have ruined the lion as a mascot, now i can't look at it without thinking of all the dumb boomer accounts on social media use a lion as their mascot the wolf is a close second. I would advocate for the Kirin, but maybe that's too much. I think people would get xenophobic.
That reminds me...why were we supposed to feel sorry for the ADA that killed themselves for getting exposed? Isn't that a reason why Hansen's show got canceled? I remember some time back the ADA's exposure being spun as an injustice. Well it WAS in Texas, a given for that corrupt as fuck state.
Pop Base@popbase.tv · 11h agoRobert Pattinson stars as pedophile hunter Chris Hansen in ‘PRIMETIME’. A new trailer releases tomorrow.
These rags are quickly becoming a joke. The institution of journalism is facing an attack by the right, but the people in its establishment are doing themselves and the profession at large no favors with garbage like this.

Oh so you're MAD mad that he won eh
If Stevens won they would not print that moderates didn’t get the big election night they wanted, they would print that moderates have struck back and reasserted their place leading the party

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.
NEW: Voters have rejected Republicans' scheme to unseat the Kansas Supreme Court's Dem-appointed majority and overturn abortion rights. Amendment 1 would have let the GOP replace the system of a nominating commission, gubernatorial appointment, and retention elections with direct partisan elections
the idea that being against sissy shit is “against gender nonconforming men” is funny because a) the problem with it isn’t the gender nonconformity it’s the disturbing fetishistic misogyny and transmisogyny and b) sissy shit reifies patriarchal dynamics…

The politically pragmatic streamer, who would support Jeffrey Epstein if he had a D next to his name, suddenly stops being pragmatic.
the best HS teams in the country have multiple guys who will be in the NBA in a couple of years. they aren't normal high schools, they're basketball factories. but this literally doesn't matter. the value of women's sports isn't contingent on their performance vis a vis men.
Bobson Dugnutt@shampeon.shampeons.com · 2d agoDon't just drive past the premise, though, which is absurd. Any WNBA team is exclusively the top 0.01% athletes in the sport. Pretending that a high school team could hang with, much less beat, them is ridiculous.
Katsushi Murakami has sadly passed away at the age of 83. He designed Leopardon for Toei’s ‘SPIDER-MAN’ series.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asks Francesca Hong, the leading candidate in Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, whether she still believes Thanksgiving should be canceled. Hong gives a response that will satisfy no one.
I finally saw Obsession yesterday. Bear is the worst kind of coward. Don't get how one doesn't come out of the movie hating him. When the moment demands he act, he fails. He indulges himself. I DO think Nikki would've given him a *chance* had he been honest, but I think he would've fucked it up.
Disqualifying. A "liberal bubble"...well, no...it's not. It just isn't known for its infestation of right-wingers and literal fucking Nazis. Also, even if it was, who cares? That would still be better than 99% of platforms right now.

Has Nilay considered renaming his podcast to “Here’s As Much Rope As You’d Like with Nilay Patel”?

the obsession with trans women in sports is, apart from the abject bigotry, a symptom of how we take amateur sports participation way too seriously in this country.
biggest tell to me that big tech *wants* this shit is that they're not beating the drum to oppose this shit like they did back in the day with SOPA
SnepShark 🔞@snepshark.bsky.social · 3d agoIt will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.
I think the Bluesky bubble effect is because no right wing movement can organically gain traction in such a hostile environment thanks to minorities and the gays making it successful in the first place and deciding not to tolerate it going forward
