You can’t even read the room, so what does that make you? A racist. That’s what. Now fuck all the way off.

Race "science" is, by fucking definition, RACISM. It is completely correct and accurate to call people who support those theories racists.

I enjoy Antonio Banderas joyfully chewing the scenery in kids’ films.

I just wanna make a declarative statement here that I think some folks need to hear: Barack Obama did not win the White House in 2008 & 2012 because of the parade of shit-swizzling cracker-ass dudes who have been getting high on their own supply ever since. He won *in spite* of them.

Here is the full suspension letter from UGent that was sent to Nathan Cofnas, it shows ample reason for his suspension and potential termination. Including breach of contract, using the University of Ghent’s name and legitimacy to promote his racial supremacist views and causing reputational damage.

I would rather the wealthy, educated, and WHITE not tell me that my priorities as a Black Man come second to their concerns about Class. I'm tired of being talked down to.

I would rather have the wealthy and educated recognize that there's more than enough to be distributed than the wealthy and educated try to convince us they're actually poor and folksy I'm tired of being talked down to

Wow. There are more names in support of Cofnas here! More than 300 academics defending the conduct of a gutter racist. johnarmstrongmaths.com/openletters/...

There’s a petition signed by more than one hundred academics (& counting!) in support of Nathan Cofnas—the racist who instigated the pile on that led to J. Arday’s death—because he lost his postdoc. Apparently there’s nothing a white man can do that deserves consequences.

Starting to see comments like, "If Dems don't do [insert pet issue here], they can f__k off!" For goodness take, try to take a broader perspective. Dems have never in all my life done everything I wanted them to do, but they've always been the superior alternative to Repubs. Vote like an adult.

Ok. We're looking at electricity being cut off soon. The bill is due tomorrow, and they don't play. We've already lost internet and are using our phones. My website is no longer live because it's an w one we couldn't afford this month, so no selling goods. YAY! The three combined are $780. /1

Some weeks I live lean. This has been one such. C’mon, payday!!

Our society in one breath says it's preoccupied with "women and girls safety" and completely on board about masked troops abducting them. Totally out of whack and morally deranged.

This. Is. Unacceptable. No child should ever experience this terror, no person should fear seeking medical care, no parent should fear sending their kids to school, going to a place of worship, or simply living their lives. (1/2)

@colinmcgee.bsky.social for one who aspires to be a curmudgeon, your display of fragility is frankly remarkable!

In case anyone here is likely to interact with Villanelle's Pink Dress, be aware that they're all pissed off at the world and will not only argue with you, but also post the exchange on their page.

“Imagine barring from your dinner parties every guest who insists on wearing smart glasses” A good litmus test might be to ask prospective guests what they think of AI “art” 😬

How about no? "Imagine hosting a dinner party without stopping to pull out your phone. Later, your glasses present you with a collection of photos and video clips showing your partner across the table and your friends laughing together," writes Amanda Caswell for Tom's Guide.

"By writing, you are literally firing up your brain and therefore stirring up your conscious thoughts and something new emerges. You are not, or at least not always, transcribing something already present in your conscious thoughts.“ LOVE this piece. www.historians.org/perspectives...

How Writing Leads to Thinking (and Not the Other Way Around) – AHA

Writing is stressful. Sitting in my computer chair my neck and shoulder muscles almost immediately tense up as I dig around in my brain for the best phrase or even any coherent string of words.

Repeat: Black people do not hang ourselves from trees.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 5d ago

Nah, I can’t be convinced this was death by suicide. Black people do not lynch themselves from trees, and the fact that these cases have been dismissed so quickly without thorough investigation is telling.

It’s understandable when people focus on their own frustration but damn, news flash folks: you may play a significant role in other people’s frustrations too

Weird how so-called conservatives only shriek about budget deficits & the national debt when a DEM is in the White House. Fun fact: budget has been balanced exactly once in my lifetime... by Bill Clinton. How'd it happen? A flood of capital gains taxes & increased marginal tax rates, mostly.

The US national debt will surpass $40,000,000,000,000 this week. This is several months faster than expected due to lost revenue from tariffs.

Found on Reddit. No idea whether it is genuine but looks to me like that post snapped clean off, probably a product defect right?

I am also a sucker for hopeless love songs like this one from Phil Collins, although, as Jimmy Buffett sang, “I know it’s my own damned fault” 😄 m.youtube.com/watch?v=s8F_...

I take indecent pleasure in certain old media which reflect truly horrid sexist attitudes. Case in point: the song “Sadder but Wiser Girl” from “The Music Man.”

TBC, the only people who get to elect a new Speaker are the elected representatives in the House. Shrieking about it online won't change that.

"We won't get out of this mess—not really— until we address the greatest wealth disparity since before the Great Depression." Agreed. We need to support unions (as Biden/Harris did), and tax the wealthy... which means we need Republicans out of power everywhere. So vote for Democrats, dammit!
