If you're in Portland for the Book Festival and you're at the Art Museum, I need you to know that there's a Gozáles-Torres in room 304. I never see anyone else admiring it and that makes me sad every time, and I know you Tumblr bitches would know what it is

I said this on @nativelandpod.bsky.social but I'll repeat it here: A dangerous narrative is going to be "the GOP gerrymandering didn't work." NO. It worked GREAT. We just OVERCAME it. But we'd have even MORE seats, and different candidates could have won those seats, without the gerryamndering.

they spent years treating people i care about like they were nothing. i don't want to extend an olive branch to them. i want them to feel like nothing.

Decision Desk: Thomas Chork (D) defeats Pat Scurly (R) in shocking upset. Me (never heard of either of those guys): holy shit Chork won

fuck it for every seat the dems pick up we add another gender

Biden winning and Destiel Super Hell. Blue wave and AO3 down. I'm working on a theory

Don't talk to or about me.

Skeeting really do just be woke supremacism

Over a 20-year period, people were sentenced to prison more often, and for longer terms, in years when prosecutors were up for election, a Northwestern Law study finds. In other words, prosecutors were more eager to rob people’s freedom when they thought it would help them politically.

Prison admissions rose 3% in district attorney election years during 'tough on crime' era

New research from Northwestern Pritzker School of Law suggests that public sentiment associated with “tough on crime” politics may be tied to increases in the number of people admitted to state prison...

God, grant me the courage to change the things I can and incredible new powers to change the things I can't.

Given the precisely targeted nature of their oeuvre so far, I look forward to Jane Schoenbrun's next film, "Jaye, I Broke Into Your House and Here's What I Think of Your Record Collection"

While grocery prices are rising, 1.5 million kids have lost food assistance benefits since Republicans passed their budget law. Hungry kids are more likely to get lower test scores & repeat grades. New from us & @tcfdotorg.bsky.social: That's just the start of parents' budgeting woes.

Every other airport only reminds me how much PDX absolutely owns

I know I am.

It is crazy that more people aren't talking about the time the new DNI tried to take over a cult based around Bed Bath and Beyond stock in an attempt to turn his family's company that had ousted him into a meme stock so that he could regain control of the board

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

BREAKING: President Trump taps housing finance director Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence to replace Tulsi Gabbard.

How are you this fluffy? How is this possible?

As a thought, the same administration that doesn't want libraries to have books about gay people or trans kids in libraries should not be in charge of what models can be released or not. That they are using 'safety' as an excuse is bad, actually!

Somehow, this riff returned. www.rifftrax.com/offers

The Russian government is charging and convicting LGBTQ people of "extremism" solely for advocating for their right to exist in Russia. This is a preview of what the right wants to do here in the US. www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/under-new-...

Under New Extremism Laws, LGBTQ Russians Must Fight to Survive

With U.S. intelligence agencies gearing up to target LGBTQ activism, Russia’s designation of the “international LGBT movement” as extremist shows a blueprint for what might be coming.

I do not care for the Jedi. Every piece of Star Wars media that references Jedi or Sith or the Force is worse for it. The Mandalorian was a great little space western until it was about magic. I haven't finished Andor but I'm waiting for jedi to ruin that too

ENGAGEMENT BAIT! What is your MOST CONTROVERSIAL Star Wars opinion? And I don't want embarrassingly lukewarm takes like "Jabba The Hutt was actually a good employer". I need opinions that could land you in jail. GO!

What's your "He actually broke his toe here" thing? The factoid you can't help but share whenever it comes up. For me, it's how the punk on the bus in Star Trek IV actually wrote and recorded the song that he's playing because he was annoyed the original song they had didn't sound punk at all.

people still want to act like nihilism is cool but it is actually bullshit compliance. humans are not going away. we get to decide if future generations suffer or if they live free. hope is punk as fuck. our oppressors want us to believe we have no power and nothing is possible. it’s not true.

We quit our bad habits for the sake of our future selves, author Xochitl Gonzalez writes. How naïve of us.

My actual take on these NYT ‘here’s some morons’ things is that people are basically calling out for mediating insitutions to make politics comprehensible to them, because most people are not weird freaks like you probably are if you’re reading this, that like paying attention to this shit.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.
