Ok so this “Worse on Purpose” guy with opinions about private equity ruining everything has also posted to LinkedIn about how great it is to work at Palantir (Metafilter was onto him in May: www.metafilter.com/213070/Worse...) - www.linkedin.com/in/keyanasapp - www.linkedin.com/posts/keyana...
This ties back to my point about the Tates, the fascist dream of endless playtime, limitless indulgence, chicken nuggies and choccie ice cream forever. They are, on some level, children. And thinking you can resolve the crisis by indulging their childish delusions is, itself, delusional.
the odyssey discourse is a beautiful perfect window into right wing culture war psychosis. they went from hysterial racist mania over a character that’s on screen for 5 minutes to claiming there’s a massive conspiracy to fake ticket sales. this is just what they do for everything now. they’re insane
one of the dinner charts people got so mad yesterday when someone said they weren’t a real economist that they posted a photo holding up their undergraduate diploma. which is probably the coolest thing you can do in that situation
“We’re not asking for permission to be here. We’re playing.” In February, USA Rugby banned transgender women from competing in women's matches. It was, on paper, a massive blow to the Baltimore Ferals, one of hundreds of teams affiliated with International Gay Rugby. Instead, they kept playing.
Lmao I can't believe this caused a controversy amongst Libsky. That's what I get for having any sort of opinion.

ok, i think we've all had enough of 'government by weird pieces of shit', time to move on and try something else
Like a good civil servant he is close to the door attendants and certain members of the press, and less so to politicians, who are transient. He also - and I am not joking - appears to have a sense of when and how he wants to be photographed.

I am so happy to see my motion at @younggreens.bsky.social Convention pass unanimously, with 95 votes for and 0 against, which calls on the Young Greens to stand firmly with trans youth, and to oppose attacks on them.
9. That is why, to those who understand the stakes, comments like Acton's likely read as a cancer on the party. And a candidate willing to throw transgender people under the bus to win has seemingly told every other minority exactly what their protection is worth when the polling gets tight.
