as always the problem here is lumping in immoral and unethical with illegal, which I'd argue is actually part of a Huntingtonian two step intended to let GOFOs off the hook

"I have been asked by some retired officers if it is fair to expect a senior military leader to stand up to or refuse to accept an immoral, unethical or illegal order from the president or the secretary of defense... But fairness is irrelevant." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/o...

One of the global hallmarks of the anti-trans movement is that it's pushing people to reject levels of gender integration that were completely uncontroversial as recently as a few years ago.

In 2024, Moulton said he didn't want his daughters, then 3 and 6, to be "run over on the playing by a formerly male athlete." the in-town soccer league they would have been eligible to play in WAS COED AT THE TIME. Oh, and he gave an absolute loser non-apology about it.

🌟 well, now I’ve done it—made New Yorker magazine.. a whale of a cartoon! 🐳 a wonderful part of the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of my Singable Songs album. 🎉

hey homie how’s it going. me and the guys were just debating whether or not you had a theory of mind

Everyone at the party was hyped when I showed up and it felt good but later I found out the bene gesserit had already been here for thousands of years seeding the myth of the “crazy ass white boy “

Lessons of the Markey curbstomp are: 1) don’t fuck with trans rights and 2) if your party just took a tough L don’t say stupid shit.

Opposing a policy that would increase city revenue because the city doesn't have enough revenue, chef's kiss.

Love how people from the UK say “condom” like they’re carefully laying two eggs with their mouths.

Okay the extra stupid thing about this is: Donald Trump’s brain is pudding. Reskeeting this shit with approval does nothing to make the federal film tax incentive, or anything that he is posting about, more likely. There’s no there there.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · yesterday

I am in strong agreement with the President. Congress should immediately take up and pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back these good-paying jobs that we've lost to other countries.

Pastor Carl Ruby, of Springfield's Central Christian Church, can state the issue more clearly than 98% of people working in politics today.

Do you think JD Vance has confessed to his priest his sin of slandering this young man and hounding him to his death or that he plans to meet his angry Catholic God unshriven?

I’m reading Cannery Row. Jesus Christ is it amazing. So great to live in a world where I can be almost 50, have been an avid reader my whole life & have barely scratched the surface of the surface of spectacular books out there.

Move over, MAHA, this fall it’s all about the MFOR Movement (Moon Fake, Ontario Real)

Zack Beauchamp@zackbeauchamp.bsky.social · 14h ago

The Lake Ontario name change is insanely unpopular: just 14 percent support it. By point of comparison, 14 percent of Americans also believe that the moon landing was fake.

Can't get a moment's peace on this bloody planet.

Okay I skimmed a longer article on water use in the Colorado River Basin, and while I continue to suspect that water is overallocated for agriculture, it is admittedly very funny that the otherwise-centrist pundit take on the question is “just expropriate the large landholders.”

I want to address what happened over the weekend outside Madison Square Garden. A few loud numbskulls must not deter us from building multi-faith, multi-racial coalitions for justice.

Actively humiliating how goddamn literary the NYC subway is. My siblings in transit are reading Calvino and Adichie while I’m simply poasting.
