"Wiggle your cursor to activate Gemini" is so insane I stared at this ad for a solid minute. Like, there's no explanation for this beyond "we desperately need to pad activation stats", right? Wiggle the cursor to activate Gemini?! WIGGLE THE CURSOR?! THE THING I DO FIFTY TIMES A DAY?!

Googlebook ad 
"Meet Googlebook, with Magic Pointer. Simply wiggle your cursor to activate Gemini."

Trans girls are not boys. Trans boys are not girls. Trans girls are not "boys in girls' sports." Trans boys are not "girls in boys' sports." Trans women are not men. Trans men are not women. Trans women are not "men in women's sports." Trans men are not "women in mens' sports."

I am so fucking tired of "seeking justice" being framed as "getting even." Arresting and/or impeaching people who are legitimately guilty of actual crimes is not revenge. It is justice. Innocent people should be released from detention and guilty people should be in prison. Again, that is JUSTICE.

voters across the country voted for several ballot measures that amount to "torture trans children", absolute shame on the democratic party leadership for abandoning our community and allowing this

proposition 318: school facilities by birth sex - arizona

allison montgomery, the trans woman who won in alabama, deployed messaging like this where 1. she directly calls republicans pedophiles and sex pests 2. she directly points out that sex testing kids is pedophilic. compare this to the spineless cis wafflers who face no danger here lol

Honestly in shock. @nytimes.com terminated the contract of romance fiction columnist Olivia Waite because she reposted on Bluesky criticism I and @markjacob.bsky.social had of the paper’s lack of coverage of the new rape allegations against Donald Trump. Details and a statement from Olivia here:

There has been more ink spilled by the legacy media on the ballot stacking in Alaska then the president trying to end the citizenship of a lawfully elected representative

You cannot be cancelled multiple times! The entire point is that it’s supposed to be a career death sentence. If people criticize you and you face no repercussions that’s not being cancelled

This is fake pragmatism, an all-too-familiar gear for powerful Democrats. “Getting stuff done” will need votes that ALSO won’t be there with a Trump veto. Unless it’s something the fascist GOP finds acceptable. Which, fucking NO. So let’s not pretend there are better (and easier) things to do.

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

the mainstream democrats do not want the republicans to face any consequences because they are on the same team, they are the same people, they are friends and colleages. their job is to occupy the positions of people who could actually oppose the republicans & make sure that never happens

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.
