Oh, honey . . . You place your children in the custody of priests, pastors, and youth pastors, a demographic proven most likely to molest children. You are *not* protecting and nurturing your children—you're endangering them. And shamelessly lying about Islam and feminism isn't going to change that.

I have to assume the OP heard someone making a "death of the author" argument.
Zoe Tunnell, from Comics@zoewithasword.bsky.social · yesterdayAbsolutely the hell not. It is so exhausting seeing these cis liberal folks with huge platforms go OH I LOVE TRANS RIGHTS SO HERE'S A WAY YOU CAN STILL CONSUME HARRY POTTER AND IT'S OKAY. It isn't. She isn't dead. She is actively harming lives, constantly. She is her work. They cannot be separated.
This country was built on the opposition to tyranny...so ICE must be abolished.

"...the most openly white supremacist thing..." And brother, that's _saying_ something.
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 2d agoThis “game” on the White House website, a version of Snake where you play as a white man in a suit and you run around picking up identifiably black, Asian, and Latino men and putting them in orange jumpsuits, might be the most openly white supremacist thing I’ve ever seen the US government produce
No three episode stretch of Trek embodies Trek more than The Drumhead, The Nth Degree, and Qpid. Wrestling with creeping authoritarianism, expanding the boundaries of knowledge, and shithead space genie making everyone cosplay as another show filming on the Paramount lot.
To borrow a line from @athelind.bsky.social , Todaro is doing an impression of Chris Latta that would fool Mama Latta.

Something about the DNA list Musk asks for is sticking in my memory like a bad dream. Just an incredibly oddly specific and strange thing to discuss.
Ian Miles Schlong@tedcruznipples.com · 4d agoIf you can make it to the last sentence of this without your jaw hitting the floor, Elon ends this insane rant by requesting a list of Jewish DNA sequences. That doesn’t seem like a very good thing for him to want. I’d like to know more about his plans for that.
I read today in an article in The Daily Beast that some military leaders have privately begun referring to Pete Hegseth with the nickname "No Tab Pete" and I nearly spit my drink out. I then realized that everyone should have the knowledge to appreciate this ruthless nickname. (thread)
