people get all excited about international sports competitions like the olympics or the world cup but (and i know i'm no fun) it's worrying how much jingoism and racism these competitions seem to legitimize on social media. Say the most offensive shit you want, it's ok because sports.

just noticing how blue hair went from being a descriptor that signified that someone is very old to now signifying that someone is very young.

seeing a lot of left-populists online disparagingly refer to non-rapist politicians as "grown in a vat to run for office," as if the idea of a person not being a rapist is just so unnatural to them. It must be hard having such a negative view of humanity.

Happy Pride Month 🙃

“All politicians are corrupt” is what corrupt politicians WANT you to think because then they become the average

i kinda hate it how everyone has apparently forgotten that the reason SS, Medicare, etc. are called "entitlements" is to remind people that they are, in fact, entitled to receive them. It expresses an obligation the government has to the people! You can't cut spending people are entitled to!

A drag ball in Paris, 1931. Police had to give special permission for drag performers. While crossdressing was not illegal for men, dancing with others while dressed as a woman was.

after covering MTG's extreme transphobia for years, it's disheartening to see anyone on the left side of the aisle say that she deserves anything but our contempt. Yes, people who change their minds should be welcomed, but no, she has not. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/12/hous...

part of the reason i had the word "capitalism" muted on socials before was because 90% of people have no idea what it means. Yes, local government services, famous examples of capitalism!

OK there's this but also there is a little trans girl in WV who wanted to run cross country with her friends and now she'll probably be stopped and 40% of the country probably thinks it was worth it.

I'm still mad that the stupidest fucking people in 2024 believed that Trump would be against war. Republicans always want more war bc that's just who they are and they will never change.

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

On the Trans Day of Visibility, no less. And I imagine that some of the SCOTUS justices might still be mad about the whole TDOV/Easter thing from a few years back so it might not be a coincidence.

The way people talk about governments/electeds as if they spring forth fully formed from clams is insane. LA doesn't have a Mamdani bc they didn't elect one.

The idea that there was ever a point where working class households could live comfortably with only the dad working is a fucking lie, a core tenet of fascism and happily repeated by a lot of people who consider themselves leftist or feminist. It’s so wrong that if you say it I think you’re stupid

I only really knew about Bigflo & Oli from their old hit "Dommage" which was so goofy that it was impossible to take seriously. I didn't pay much attention to what they did after but got a notification for this today and they have changed so much, this is really cool. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3CL...

I'm mildly annoyed that I have to sit through a few days of "omg gay men believe they'd be transed if they were kids today, they're so dumb!" because The Atlantic decided to publish someone who could never get published in LGBT media.

Free Sage Blair

this person understands gen z

hammer and sickle account literally scolding liberals for hating trump.

why is the HHS secretary trying to negatively polarize people against exercising

it's so tiring to debate an election that's 3 years away, let's see what they're talking about on the other site-

It is so weird how we're in the beginning of 2026 and so many people are acting like Gavin Newsom already won the 2028 primary. The primary hasn't even started. We haven't even had the midterms yet. It's very unlikely that anyone right now can predict who will win.

trump is literally putting tariffs in place over personal drama and openly admitting it. www.joemygod.com/2026/02/trum...

i do appreciate lady gaga

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

It could be the front page of every newspaper for the next 6 months and he will not be impeached and removed.

if ever one needed evidence that press coverage of protests is an effective tool for protestors, the feds just arrested a journalist for covering a protest in MN.

I was going to a person's house to buy some of her old furniture but I couldn't find her house on the street, the street was laid out weirdly. Someone pulled over and offered to help me look for whatever I was looking for. People are so nice in this town!

it's so fucking stupid. He-Man's and She-Ra's pronouns are literally a part of their names and have been for generations. If you take away their pronoun-sharing their names become "Man" and "Ra."

these people are literally mad that some of us choose to live in reality and not the fake world they created.

Lindsey Graham accuses Europe of "failing to stand up to evil" but they just stood up to Trump this week.

well i guess trump actually did prevent a war, give him the nobel peace prize.

since no one is pushing for boys to be allowed to play in girls' sports in schools, rightwing media has to AI generate images of it happening to scare their audience.

Her son was deported to Somalia because Trump won. She literally hated queer people more than she loved her kid.

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

VIDEO: 🇬🇱 Greenlanders weigh drastic options amid US threats Some Greenlanders are considering what they would do if the US invades the Arctic island, as Donald Trump continues to double down on his desire to seize the self-governing Danish territory

These people say they want to live in a high trust society and then fantasize about stealing from people they consider weak.

Oh neat headline but guess what? he's retiring so of course he found a backbone now. He's also like "so many Republicans" think the Greenland thing is a terrible idea but why don't they say it publicly? www.rawstory.com/trump-greenl...

I was just on the other site and i'll just say that if you're making a video about how people should be standing up for the oppressed more, then you can really undermine your message by starting your video with multiple anti-gay slurs.

This is not what socialism means but the author is American so I guess he's proving his own point.

Over on the other site, people are getting mad at something that never happened. No expert quoted in that Post article said that parents should obtain consent before changing a diaper.
