The Woman in the Photo Wanted to Be Alone. Instead, She Went Viral.

I get the impulse to "Leopards, faces, etc" these stories. But doing so misses a much bigger and more important point: The nation's largest, most powerful GOP state organization has gone all-in on unfiltered hatred - to the point that it stunned those who've spent their life confronting such hate.
Robert Downen@robertdownen.bsky.social · 2mo agoNEW: I spent last week with Muslim Republicans - including the founder of CAIR Texas - as they tried to confront hate at the Texas GOP convention. It was a constant stream of anti-Muslim bigotry, a preview of what America will look like should Christian nationalists get their way.
Noooo, Deltarune Ch 5 releases the day before Starfox. :(
Wait until this guy hears how many call buttons you have to press just to have an abortion.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoFerguson: "Just this weekend, I was shopping at a big home improvement store to buy a drill. I had to hit a call button and wait 15 minutes for an associate to unlock a padlock. Social trust has evaporated and people are taking advantage of it, and the same is true of our federal benefit programs."
This line from @kkjetelina.bsky.social 's latest substack regarding the ebola outbreak just hit me like a brick.
In all the discussion of a singular "millennial anthem", we all did overlook this particular entry for a particular kind of too-online person.
All of this just seems like posturing from the GOP to shore up more donations from its wealthiest donors.

The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 3mo agoThrough twilight-hour shifts, President Trump’s executive assistant Natalie Harp supplies the president with stacks of printed-out drafts and awaits his approval before hitting post. Her work has included posts of the Obamas as apes and an AI-generated image of Trump as Jesus Christ. trib.al/PhHqu5y
This thing ruled. And it existed at the time when you could still just rent one from Blockbuster.

Many people ask this question: "What is your favorite Pokémon?" But let me ask something else: What is your favorite Pokémon cry? And why?
Some of us have always shipped Sting and Shaggy

![They Put a Hat on Me, Pardner
Pardner. My dearest pardner. I write to you with a great sadness in my heart.
I was resting my eyes, ever so briefly. Minding my own business. I felt a pressure upon me. A terrible and oppressive pressure.
The pressure was an awful object. The long-limbed creature who lives in my home placed it so close to my precious head.
