Paying for NYT games or for recipes is enabling genocide apologia. They have admitted for years that those subscriptions subsidize their editorial and journalism in ways that ad revenue never could. Pointing this out isn't an attack on your allyship. You subscribing is the attack on your allyship..

the real issue with the internet in 2026 is nobody talks about Domo-kun anymore.

"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read." Happy birthday, James Baldwin!

Basically, if a Republican says they believe something, they believe no such thing. If they accuse you of something, that is their actual beliefs.

And we aren’t supposed to compare this to other ethnic cleansing operations?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

How old was the single girl in the entire state of Idaho who lost her rights at the Supreme Court? Why are you making up scenarios you think are absurd when there are real, existing victims of the state sanctioned transphobia Democrats are placating?

The New York Times is one of those institutions. Propped up by money made from their games subscription.

Anyone who knows me even a little, or has even followed me long on social media, already knows this about me. Our institutions are literally trying to erase trans people right now, and it pisses me off. A snarky reply to one bad take on Bluesky doesn’t mean that’s changed at all. ⬇️

the three guys who voted in favor of that birthright citizenship EO should be impeached and removed just for that alone. it's sufficient! you simply cannot do the job you were assigned to do. time to go. kavs lawyer-weaseling around it just barely saves him

This was the bipartisan betrayal of COVID-19. Instead of an actual reckoning with the real evil of the pandemic, we are getting a bunch of liars screaming nonsense at one guy who was just one piece in the machine that ground us all for profit.

I was working "Essential" Retail(Walmart) at the start of covid, and I feel like most people don't truly understand the degree to which we felt like we were sent to the wolves. Everyone else got sent home to stay safe, while we were meat for the meat grinder. Made the machinery of it all real clear.

the only thing to be said about covid lockdowns is that it revealed the startling number of people who feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract that they also do not feel bound by

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

The incentives are so fucked that it's kind of hard to see how Hollywood can move forward as a business when its success is so completely divorced from its core product? bsky.app/profile/mary...

This is a fascinating situation. BARBIE 2 has the potential to make billions, but no one involved *needs* it. Zaslav makes gobs of money no matter what (because of some kind of dark magic?), and all of the talent have great careers and are doing just fine. So no one has any reason to back down.

I think it's both. Usha is in great danger, but she also thinks she's special because she currently has access to power.

Cheryl Lynn Eaton@cheryllynneaton.bsky.social · 5d ago

The only problem I see here is assuming that Usha isn't exactly where she wants to be. And that she still has time.

If you marry a 22-year-old student and could not care less that she doesn't know how to balance a checkbook or manage a bank account, you do not love her. If you have biracial children and then build a world that has an impenetrable race-based caste system, you don't consider them your equal!

I think making the world a more racist and thus dangerous place for your own children is a level of assholery none of us can attain by calling him a shithead for it.

I think it’s a remarkably stupid thing for a political candidate to say. This is not the first time people have pointed out Vance’s hypocrisy on this issue, but to pull his children into it and say that you somehow know what’s in Vance’s mind about his own kids is over the line.
