"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."
Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:

I know it was a fictional TV show but I think occasionally about that scene in HBO’s Rome where Vorenus tells his wife that he’s invested his battlefield earnings in slaves and then goes down to the dock to discover that he’s the owner of a cage full of rotting corpses
Claire E. Aubin@ceaubin.com · last wk.Next time someone tries to tell you that Roman slavery was different or better than other forms of slavery, tell them to listen to last week’s episode of @thisguysucked.com and/or buy Emma’s book.
I’m convinced that poll that came out a couple of days ago that showed Sayed narrowly losing and Stevens narrowly winning the general election spooked a bunch of Sayed voters at the last minute
G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · 17h agoFair enough, but the non-partisan polls of the races also did very poorly: - Emerson: El-Sayed +16 - Tavern: AES +10 - Glengariff: Stevens +7 - Mitchell: AES +14 Looks less like partisan pollsters rigging their data and more like a combination of late movement and biased samples across the board

Kind of weird to say “DSA candidates had a mixed night” and then go on to report that they won 80% of the races listed in the article below the headline
I read an account of one of the people arrested for “vandalizing” the Reflecting Pool and it’s eerily like that “I’m a tourist!” scene from ANDOR

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 15h agoSince people are still relentlessly abusing me over this, here’s why the so-called “boots theory” doesn’t make any sense. First, what is it? Some people have suggested I haven’t done the background reading, but it’s not a deep idea. It’s from a passage that’s four sentences long.
Learning the piano in the mornings & about ADOLF HITLER in the afternoons. Probably should have gone to the Algarve because there is no topless here.
Punjab. Afghan. Kashmir. Sind. Balochis-tan. The I was added for pronounciation and because the whole thing also means 'land of the pure' in several languages. it's pretty clever!
Sure sex is great but did you ever set up your VCR to record an obscure film noir that was only playing at 2:30 AM on a Wednesday on TCM?

One way this place sucks is you have a lot of people on here asserting that Democrats will receive the Mandate of Heaven in November, meanwhile Dave Wasserman is saying that this is basically enough for a narrow majority, and things are only going to get worse for Democrats in the years to come

I remember when my mom took me to the doctor when I had chicken pox, he told her about “chicken pox parties.” Were these actually a thing? Seems like an urban legend
