hey why is the biological reality sticky why is it sticky what did you spill on your rhetorically invented biological reality
Elizabeth Spiers@espiers.bsky.social · 4d agoOkay, I am looking at this gendered reading piece by Ross Barkan and I have many thoughts and questions. Part of the thesis is this:
Fetterman won't change parties. He has delusions of being the next Manchin.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoTrump praises Fetterman and encourages him to switch parties
the supreme court: "stop saying we declared trump a god-king, presidential immunity was a limited and reasonable ruling" trump, constantly: "I am absolutely a god-king and I can do anything I want at any time"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."
If you use AI at work, you are training your replacement.
Seriously. I'm wracking my brain, trying to think of any other time in my 48 years that a game console's price went UP during its life cycle. Now they all have.
Falselogic (But Spooky)@falselogic.bsky.social · last wk.Hard to get excited about a new Ape Escape, a series I truly do love, when the console to play it on costs more than a month of rent.

There was never such a thing as ye olde. The phrase was þe olde. þe is the.
oh they’re gonna be speaking in “olde English” eh? like Shakespeare did? “olde English” like Shakespeare spoke, is it? that’s cool. I wanted to die of apoplexy and now I know it can happen
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 3w agoRobert Eggers is set to direct a new film adaptation of ‘ROMEO AND JULIET’. The film will feature the actors speaking in Olde English. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)
Matt Y still thinks avocado toast keeps people from acquiring wealth.

We've been practicing lowest common denominator politics for decades now. We've lost the art of persuasion and keep hoping to focus group our way to victory.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoI know I am not the median voter. But when I watch Trump performances like the one we just endured in North Carolina, I can't escape the feeling that our problems go much deeper than "affordability" and we're whistling past the graveyard if we reduce our politics to that issue.
Once again, the median pay for an adjunct professor in the United States of America is $3,500 per course. Not per month, per course.
Jed Brown@jedbrown.org · 4w agoOh. That's a heck of a subsidy.
This. I've never seen a corporation serve on a jury. I've never seen a corporation imprisoned after being found guilty of a felony. Heck, I don't really see corporations paying taxes.
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · last mo.Corporations are not people. Their money is not speech. They should not be able to buy politicians. End Citizens United.
Twitter has always been a vector for coordinated harassment. I was there during gamergate. Musk has simply stripped out the plausible deniability.
Omar Wasow@owasow.bsky.social · last mo.“It doesn’t help that X, the burnerverse’s platform of choice, is famously subject to little moderation. Since Musk’s acquisition, it‘s become the ideal petri dish for coordinated harassment. ‘They’re also financially incentivized by followers, by views, by clicks…they’re making money off this.‘”
Sometimes, when you explain the joke it does get funnier…
Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · last mo.I read today in an article in The Daily Beast that some military leaders have privately begun referring to Pete Hegseth with the nickname "No Tab Pete" and I nearly spit my drink out. I then realized that everyone should have the knowledge to appreciate this ruthless nickname. (thread)
Sometimes the projection is so naked, it's cartoonish.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Comer: "Jeffries has declared himself the leader, & he doesn't want anyone having differing opinions. That's what happens when you have socialism & communism ... that's the difference in the Democrats & Republicans. Republicans are open minded, free will ... Democrats want to rule with an iron fist"
Jesus Christ, this. Platner was given the benefit of the doubt despite having a fucking Totenkopf tattoo on his own skin, while many of the same people are demanding El-Sayed answer for any random comment from anyone who supports him.
Lupita Nihongo@otsumamiboy.blacksky.app · last mo.The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.
I'm waiting for MAHA to go to war against the "sudden explosion" of left handed individuals.
