The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:

The country's big left party just wholesale abandoned trans people the moment they came into power, and like, Democrats have been backsliding on a number of trans issues for awhile now! It's a reasonable fear to have. What are you doing to ensure Democrats DON'T do this?

Both of you are correct.

Oh yeah, even with desk pens and very limited time at work I can draw. Guess I'm responding with this today to anyone who doesn't realize if you hurt someone, you can't bully then back into loving you...

You can either say the shit that pisses off right wingers or you can say the shit that pisses off the left. If this seems like an impossible no-win scenario for your party then you need to admit your party is not capable of winning

You think you're being Shrewd Politics Guy when you go on bluesky and "well, he has to win in Texas" but what you're actually doing is going to the Website Full Of Trans People and saying "I think your humanity is negotiable" and expecting them to form a coalition with you, and that's not Shrewd

It sure is tiring watching the same liberals go through the same stages of grief every time their politicians fuck up in the same way.

and so, participating in the wretched society of America as an engaged voter, my calculation as a member of this poor, demonized minority group is this: if you throw me under the bus I will make it my life goal to make you lose. I will simply make it a politically unthinkable cost to abandon us.

Hi um how are we supposed to evaluate our politicians other than asking them their opinions and deciding if we wish for someone who holds those opinions to represent us? Is it just blue hat vs red hat? I kinda expect to evaluate someone on their words and deeds

I literally didn’t do that. Good night.

This is clearly just cargo cult behavior at this point. Electoral victory requires a sacrifice to the electoral gods. If you don't win, it's because you didn't sacrifice enough people

I would vote for the Democratic candidate in 2028 even if they were running specifically on a platform of persecuting & imprisoning men with the surname Roberts, for utilitarian moral reasons that strike me as both obvious and inarguable.

Wow that was fast

Once you've granted the idea that it's dangerous to allow trans kids to play organized sports, you're already 99% of the way to agreeing to bathroom bans. You've stipulated to the transphobes' central argument.

RIGHTS ARE NOT GIVEN, THEY ARE WON THROUGH BLOOD. DOESNT HAVE TO BE OURS.

All these years of hearing the story and I never even thought about how the controllers trying to safely land hundreds of planes could see the jets in their airspace circling and ordered to destroy any plane not following exact ATC directives as fast as they could

Mrs. E.V. Debs@comradeluanne.bsky.social · 5d ago

mom ran to the tower elevator & took her post and she and a small squad of controllers landed as many planes as humanly possible in a small amount of time bc of executive order, knowing that stragglers would be shot down if not landed fast enough. Skeleton crew too bc not a busy travel time

who the fuck is Nina Levin

I am fully aware of how awful Paxton is you don't need to remind me. And I also understand the only thing stopping Dems from turning the UK Labour party and making the whole country in that image is by not rewarding them for throwing us under the bus.

I want to thank everyone who showed up last night for Squeezer: A Cum Tribute to Weezer

ever think about how it's been a decade since the last time the president wasn't at least in the early stages of dementia

It's uncanny how they always manage to arrive at something that pleases the type of centrist whose vote is impossible to lose and absolutely no one else

Like look I’m sorry but this is clearly some kind of mania. What in the holy shit is he talking about? This sounds like a conversation he’s had with his chatbot

Central planning doesn't work because a few bureaucrats can't allocate resources efficiently for a massive country. That's why we love the free market, where a few billionaires do that

the problem is, if this was the case, you would find far more Black women and other WoC entering those spaces. But instead most of MAHA consists of relatively well-off religious white women. Like are we gonna make the argument that white women are treated worse than Black women by doctors?

About the only other record I'm aware of this behavior (sea lions using the larger northern elephant seals as impromptu beds) is on Plate 6 of Marine Mammals: Evolutionary Biology - 2nd Edition (2005), so it's nice to have a recent video of it (2022).

You should consider being more polite to someone who's so powerful that their mere posts can swing elections

Ah you think voting makes up for participating in online voter suppression. You are mistaken. You spend every day telling people that there's no point in voting because the parties are the same, then get into the voting booth a hypocrite and a saboteur.

I was 19 when I walked into my first Women’s Studies course. The first person mentioned was Gloria Steinem. Her words shaped me, challenged me, and taught me something I have carried ever since: my worth.💖
