News Update: Summerland does not look like a bomb went off. It looks like a community in BC that was razed to the ground with homes and lives destroyed by completely preventable climate crisis. Again. Corporations and governments who send condolences without acknowledging this can fuck off.

The irony of all of this is that regular background corruption would have probably been grudgingly tolerated for decades longer but nope, 5 rapists had to try and own everything

I know not everyone can do physical things in the struggle but ffs, stop posting "Ah ha! Gotcha in a lie." on Socials right now. Do something that will be inconvenient. Go to Washington. Stand outside his house and protest that its your house. Call a general strike.

I understand how evacuees are angry about having to leave their homes with very short notice after an apocalyptic fire that went from a dozen square kms to 100 square kilometers in a matter of hours When people tell you climate change is fake, direct said anger appropriately, not at emergency resps

I think we might have screwed up when we made psychopathy a marketable skill with unlimited resources and the highest reward of any class on the planet.

Could someone just tell Ricky Gervais that it's not personal or political, he's just not funny? I feel like no one's ever said that to him and someone might want to.

Fear mongering and lies; the GOP playbook. If only they loved America more than they hate brown skinned people.

As anyone who has ever done anything facing the public (like a DJ, or clergy - yes, I know it's odd pairing, ahem, moving on). When some one says "People are saying" or "Everyone wants" it means they are speaking on behalf of a crowd no larger than two.

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

Hollywood seems to be stuck on this idea: the bad thing about war is that the men we send off to do the wars come back all sad. There’s so much rich cinema about war, but usually from countries that have wars happen IN them.

‘The representation of Odysseus as a reluctant warlord makes a nonsense of the movie’s imagined world. We are not shown that war or killing are bad, only that good men sometimes feel bad about it – a very different point.’ Emily Wilson on Christopher Nolan’s film. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

It will never not be fucked up to me that white folks looted, plundered and pillaged and then are surprised, frightened and confused when people go where all the resources and money and jobs went. We took everything, and they don't even want it back, they just want us to share.

Watching Ken Jennings essentially say “Wow, I can’t believe my comments being shitty to trans people were twisted and used to be shitty to trans people!” is so depressing because we cisgender people need to be a lot smarter and tougher about standing up against bigotry and we just *aren’t* at all 🫤

Jessie Gender@jessiegender.bsky.social · last wk.

So Ken Jennings mocks a trans woman for pointing out he gives $$ to NYT, which mainstreamed US anti-trans rhetoric, and now he's pulling a Gavin Newsome claiming "I'm a great trans ally!" while cis ppl lap it up praising him as SUCH A GOOD GUY! Cis liberals really don't give a fuck about trans ppl.

Have you noticed whenever they do wildfire interviews and other cuts away from the fire itself you see fire fighters, the displaced, but never the people or businesses that through mad pursuit of profit have created this hellscape? Maybe we should change that.

I'm a full Professor of Immunology and fully vaccinated. I didn't get vaccinated out of obedience, but after decades of studying the immune system and evaluating all evidence. Calling that "lack of critical thinking" is not an argument. It's ideology masked as pretend intellect.

The entire purpose of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority—the individual. It limits the government’s power to harm individuals. The entire Constitution is designed to limit the power of the government

Sometimes people just want to be mad.

Celebrating 'The Power Of Love' at Brighton Pride alongside the Brighton Gay Men's Chorus, a moment I'll never forget 🩷

Morning coffee and someone getting angry for suggesting some of the most vocal "LET'S BE MEN" of MAGA is overcompensating for feelings they share. Good morning, Bluesky. 🤪

If only we'd loved trans people as much as the racoon with the funny back.

My dudes in Christ. If a guy EVER, and I mean EVER says anything even REMOTELY like, "I couldn't have abused her. She wouldn't be doing nice things for me if I had." I want you take a deep breath and walk away because they fucking well did and they just told you.

"A real football gangster. The whole world is turning its back on you. F*** you, Infantino!" 🇨🇭 During yesterday's Swiss league match against Basel, Lausanne-Sport fans directed a message against FIFA president (and Swiss citizen) Gianni #Infantino. 👇

Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine has it figured out. I couldn't agree more. Fuck fascism.

If had the opportunity to ask the Pope one question it would be this: "Your Holiness, please...tell me the truth. Did you mosh to the Beastie Boys?"
