It’s worthwhile to remember that the National GOP will absolutely try to suppress the vote this November. However much of the suppression will also look something like this. Local parties cutting 45% of polling stations, especially in Democratic voting precincts, and then closing down public comment

In my teens and twenties I was really into punk and alt music. Now in my forties I’m entering my Polka Dad era. I’m sure if I thought about this long enough there would be a direct line I could draw between the two.

Sometimes when I see people who died young between 1980 and 2005 or so, I can't help but think "tragic, but wow they probably would have been insufferable in the social media age."

Something I missed in this reporting... Brandon Herrera said in 2023: “Just because you let somebody creampie you doesn’t mean I have to give a shit about your political opinions. The fact that you kept your cum trophy doesn’t make you any less wrong about the dumb shit they say.” His response...

Unfortunately, Cardinal Burke is referring to cisgender heterosexual marriage generally,a principle no one’s being martyred for, especially in the uS. Yet even within those confines, His Eminence has said little about the many faithfully married Catholics whose families have been torn apart by ICE.

Cardinal Burke: Be ready for ‘martyrdom’ in defence of marriage and family

Burke's appeal is joined by that of Cardinal Zen's and comes shortly before the Vatican revisits Amoris Laetitia in a high profile conference

seriously analytical philosophy brain on the simulation question is terminal, and at some point you're just inventing religion

“Baboons, baboons, baboons!” we yelled. “Baboons, baboons, baboons!” “What?” said the baboons irritably.

People saying that Bluesky is a “leftist bubble” suggests that people don’t know what the word “leftist“ means.

one day I will quit the internet but it is not now or anytime in the foreseeable future

Even if Carlson, and MTG peel off from the GOP vote (and I think there’s some evidence it would also peel off from Democrats as well), I don’t think this is a positive step in US democracy and politics

In all seriousness I have been with men so bullied in their youths that they truly believed touching an ass in any way, even to wash, is gay (and therefore bad). It was my first eye opener into “maybe the hetero-patriarchy IS also bad for men.”

Centrist Democratic journalists: "The Democratic label is dragging the party down." Also those same people: "Why are Democratic primary voters abandoning establishment candidates for progressives and DSA candidates?!?" You just answered that.
