Michigan Democrats chose Abdul El-Sayed because he’s a fighter willing to stand up to the tyrant in the Oval Office. Corporate Democrats like Chuck Schumer aren't up to the task because they won’t bite the corporate hands that feed them.

The Real Meaning of El-Sayed's Victory

It's not what you're hearing

Because people in power want Star Trek without wanting to make the effort and/or without the ethics of Star Trek. Instead, they'd rather veer toward the Alien franchise or the Cyberpunk genre where corrupt corporations hold all the power.

why isn’t the future the way we thought it would be

When I was 17 or 18, I had to go see a psychiatrist. It wasn't until roughly 20 years later when I became more familiar with... let's say certain stories that I realized something that kind of made me step back and say, "Whoa." It was my psychiatrist's name: Dr. Jonathan Crane IYKYK

For what it's worth, there are a shitload of reasons not to promote anything that the NYT is doing. Their unrelenting bias against the trans community is but one among many. It should be enough. But it's not the only concern.

Everything. including you. in whole or in parts

Trump is rolling out yet another key plank of Project 2025: privatizing airport security. History has shown us time and again this makes both workers and passengers less safe. Everything is for sale under Trump.

Mass funeral for 112 people in Gaza. Many of these caskets are children

I finally changed my phone wallpaper to something more appropriate for when I'm at work:

No, you shouldn’t support NYT or any other anti trans platform. And yes, the Times has a very bad record on excusing and even endorsing and propagating fascist thought.

Lydia Rose@lydzrose.bsky.social · 3d ago

Yes. Would you like a lesson on how they have a history of supporting fascism stating with downplaying the threat of and endorsing Hitler in 1936? Would you like to hear how they platform anti trans rhetoric while refusing to allow trans people a platform to rebut?

‘Trans people are not a monolith’ but also ‘I got express permission from the trans community.’ pick a lane, Ken.

he was asked by a trans lady to stop supporting the nyt for its word games because of ~gestures at everything about nyt~ and this was his response. there's other aspects but this is the core of it.

When you don’t care about trans people or history

Natedogg213@natedogg213.bsky.social · 4d ago

NYT is one the most fascist outlets!? If you actually believe, you seriously need to touch grass. They have one of the best national security reporters out there, not that you care. They have outstanding book reviews, also irrelevant to you. And yep, I play Wordle with my kids. #monster

Last night I slept wrong on my neck (on top of sleeping for roughly 11 hours) which is FANTASTIC (*sarcasm*) since I need to go to sleep soon and I have a massive fucking headache because of it now.

We tried to warn you, we warned everyone

mcc@dryad.technology · 7d ago

It was never going to stop at trans people.

I don't have time for folk that can't remember how the Senate under McConnell blocked so many Obama judicial nominations including one for the Supreme Court I tried, but clinging to ignorance to excuse Democrats voting to confirm Trump's nominations is just... Ughhh... Why we're here

Explaining the trans genocide being funded by Wordle, the Crossword, Connections, and Recipes.

what the fuck why does this @stupidtwink.bsky.social comic keep happening?

It's me again, resident (to my house) anti-genAI Twitch Ambassador If you're as mad about this as we are, you NEED to vote for this Uservoice, make our voices HEARD on this twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338...

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

It's hard to believe there's any meaningful opposition party in elected Democrats when there are way too many who took out the proverbial knife and stabbed us in the back. And way too many who are trying to throw us under the bus in order to get elected.

MeowingStar (she/her/hers)@meowingstar.bsky.social · 4d ago

One reason I focus on Democrats is they were crucial in passing the first anti-lgbtqia+ federal legislation in 20 years, specifically targeting transgender people. 120 Congressional Democrats and Joe Biden LGBTQIA+ support Democrats (86%) only second to Black Women (89%) I feel fucking betrayed

And here I was considering on whether or not I wanted to start streaming again. I'm a god damned fool.

How about no? Sorry, but I'm not gonna tongue a company's bunghole on the way out the door. Especially if they treated .e like trash.

Meanwhile, I'm over here on a 70/30 split on pain/ass

Sarah Walsh@bigdamnherossir.bsky.social · 5d ago

90/10 split on pain in the ass/badass, to be clear

I promise I'm not trying to be angry today, but.... *gestures vaguely at everything*

Centrists are more upset that 47,436 fewer people in swing states voted for Harris than for Biden, but show remarkably little care for the over 70,000 slaughtered Palestinians using weapons we supplied

one of the uglier & more incoherent displays of US exceptionalism are the dime-a-dozen "blue dot in a red state" resister types who consider their strictly centrist politics to be radical, perhaps even revolutionary, but who think that M4A & calling for an end to funding Israel are beyond the pale

Trans people: they're trying to genocide us Republicans: we're trying to genocide trans people Historians: they're trying to genocide trans people Genocide Prevention Groups: they're trying to genocide trans people Liberals: well hold on maybe it's a good genocide though

I've been saying it for a long time: Newsome is not the fucking answer people!

Karl Bode@karlbode.com · 5d ago

dipshit nice sneak peak of the sort of media policies you can expect under his presidency

I would just like to point out two things: 1) This is an incredibly short-sighted and very toxic take that outs yourself as a very shitty person. 2) SUFFERING AND TRAUMA ARE NOT A COMPETITION YOU FUCKING KNOB!

I've come to the conclusion that the future people want is Star Trek without the ethics of Star Trek. You know what that is called? The Alien franchise.
