god grant me a big stick to change the things that can be changed with a big stick

This right here, and it’s not just about rape. It’s literally anything he does wrong.

A woman’s lifetime of suffering is weighed against a potential temporary setback in a man’s career, and the man’s self-induced plight always carries more weight.

Hmm not good that zayde bernie is trending farther right than Fetterman

I regret to inform you all that Bernie Sanders is in fact taking meetings with noted rationalist wacko Eliezer Yudkowsky over what AI regulations should look like. x.com/SenSanders/s...

Trump’s superpower is that he couldn’t care less about the fate of most Republicans, thus his threats to abandon them are credible. That tends to keep their mouths shut.

Michael McDonald@electproject.bsky.social · 2d ago

Will be fun to watch Trump turn on every Republican in a close race who tries to distance themself from him. A Republican's greatest sin is Trump disloyalty www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/u...

The real reason behind moral panics like the Covid cautious lesbian bar story is to advance eugenicist causes Was it horrendously stupid for these people to talk to the press? Absolutely. Is able-bodied society gonna latch onto it like a bunch of leeches to justify hurting disabled people? Oh yeah

People aren’t faking their disabilities, they’re faking being well. We know society hates us. We know we will be judged for using assistive devices. Many of us take years to get the courage to lean in to accommodations. Stop judging. Help us build a more inclusive world.

The vast majority of parents abuse their own children. The vast majority of parents believe they have the moral authority to hurt children whenever they want

Sarah Clarke - Not your doll@damselindystopia.northsky.social · 2d ago

The moral panic around estrangement is backlash against the small amount of cultural progress we have made for familial abuse survivors. Against the idea that parents don't get to hurt their kids, against the absolute tyranny of the heteropatriarchal family.

There still is a thriving subgenre of country music that highlights the working class and could be considered counterculture Stadium country is not that. If your top 40 hit could be parodied by bo burnham, your top 40 hit is a song for guys who go to golf courses

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴@miawong.bsky.social · 2d ago

I hate this shit so fucking much country is not the music of the "white working class" it's the music of car dealership owners who drive F-150s and wear cowboy hats. This whole "country is actually the counter-culture" shit is pushed by the white ruling class Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Book covers. AI slop. Board game. AI slop. Animal videos. AI slop. Email. AI slop. We’ve made our work so shit, so fast. It really is Digital Asbestos.

Hell yeah my first choice for the next Star Wars trilogy, the guy most famous for writing the 2015 FANTASTIC FOUR movie is coming to fruition

I don't mean what I'm about to say in a sappy way, but a fairly hard-nosed one: natural ecosystems are often remarkably good at recovering from serious local natural disasters *if they are given the chance.*

We now have rigorous pooled data showing that even without active restoration efforts, cleared rainforest can rebound to 75% of their former species composition and 90% of species diversity within just thirty years. #goodnews

PRIMETIME: yeah I can see why Chris Hansen hates this lol

take an iced coffee wherever you want. nothing matters anymore. kill god and lick the face of the cosmic unknown. your destiny runs on dunkin™.

He got booed once at a dave Chapelle show and had to have a wellness check called for him If we’re especially lucky the world’s richest man might actually kill himself

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

Oh wow, absolute power corrupted you absolutely? That’s so weird, I got absolute power last year and my subjects say I’ve only gotten wiser and more virtuous

If Cornell is truly sorry, they should publish those essays

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

Instagram update: a lot of people seem to genuinely think that Chris Hansen was the one who exposed Jeffrey Epstein. He was not. And the sudden glazing towards this guy freaks me out because he was a punchline when his show was on. people referenced the BOONDOCKS parody of him all the time

ZOMBIELAND rewatch: wild choice to have a scene of four white actors destroying a store filled with Indigenous products as a happy-go-lucky montage

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

"china is charging their cars in less time than it takes you to fill up your F-150" is the kind of banal jingoism i always assumed would get us finally kicking it up a notch on serious infrastructure buildout but we were a lot more directly addicted to gasoline in addition to racism than i thought

Feel like I’m being transphobic because whenever I see FFS I think “for fuck’s sake” before thinking of “facial feminization surgery”

1976's "Network" turns 50 this year. The pitch black satire of television always felt a little over the top, despite its star-studded cast's performances. But then social media came along and validated everything this movie warned us about--and more. We're all mad as hell now.

“Network” at 50: Now We’re All Mad as Hell

Paddy Chayefsky’s take on television captured the Long 1970s—and anticipated the rise of social media.
