the public execution is going to be a lot like the president’s birthday parade, i think.
molly conger@socialistdogmom.bsky.social · last yr.my soul left my body watching the fox news feed glitching out as the tanks roll past the president’s observation stand and the announcer’s voice echoes across the mostly empty streets, “special thanks to our sponsor, palantir”
This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.
Laura Bassett@lebassett.bsky.social · 2d agoTrump is desperately trying to incite a riot before the election so he can declare an emergency
truly amazing how stupid the average rightwinger is and how stupid someone like JD vance has to pretend to be to appeal to their base. there's just absolutely no way someone like JD vance doesn't know what socialism is lol
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoQ: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports
i bet he spent the whole last decade of his life absolutely fuming that he was outed as a pedophile and a sexual predator before it was cool. punished for being a trendsetter!

Can’t stop thinking about the cutaway scene in PrimeTime of a cop, in the middle of a pedophile investigation, stops to order the “Jared special” at Subway in front of a life sized cardboard cutout of the sandwich pervert.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2w agoIs asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette? We assembled a team of Post staffers across the newsroom — and commenters — to find out: https://wapo.st/4dwx0LS
Another thing to remember on this bisexual day is that The Grungler is canonically bi. I do enjoy how it's become a term for "token cis guy who hangs out with a bunch of trans weirdos" but the original post was also about straight women being weird about bi men.
We can destroy Tilly Norwood by having One journalist ask it’s opinion on Palestine and Israel

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.
Gas prices are so salient not just because they are posted in big numbers everywhere but also because Americans believe driving a car is an unalienable human right and gas should really be free.
and those thousands of posts can’t be more wrong, it’s right in the name.
brasidas@brasidas.bsky.social · 4w agoNate Silver has an extremely high opinion of his ability to apply his intelligence way outside of its field of study and it is often hysterical. The worst parts of his book were the PDoom chapters. Absolute dogpoop stuff.
it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports
Trump lunges toward and growls at a reporter (a woman) who asked him about why he's offering money to voters if his economic policies are working (Andrew Harnik/Getty)
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Q: On the checks, we have $40t in debt. If your economic policies are working, why do you need an incentive for people to turn out to vote? T: I'm doing it as a reward for having to put up w/Biden Q: You also offered tariff refunds-- TRUMP: Not you Q: And that didn't happen T: You're the worst
it's funny because in the pre-internet days as an artist you could use basically anything as a reference and be pretty assured that no one would ever find out, or even if they did find out, they wouldn't really be able to tell anyone about it.
✪ Beware the Gray Ghost ✪@jongraywb.blacksky.app · 2y agoA friend of mine showed me this a long time ago and once in a blue moon “Bishop is alternate universe Gary Coleman with a hella massive glow up” pops back into my very accursed brain.
Once again when you actually stand up to the fuckers and bring the lawyers, they tuck tail and piss themselves. Mainly because all of their lawyers are hired for obsequiousness and not skill or intelligence.

Had a convo on this tonight, about how the Trump Arch will start construction in DC in a few weeks. John Dower’s work suggests that dynamiting that arch, on a livestream, in the future will be an essential part of the de-Trumpification process. Public consensus truth about history matters.
Mark Histed@markhisted.org · last mo.Years ago I took a class from John Dower, historian of Japan and post-war Europe. Dower talked about how important the public denazification process was for future German democracy. It made an impact on me. Public consensus truth about history matters
