new pixel piece! 🐱🎈 For a DTIYS challenge, see PeachSpritz's ref below

I have just published a piece that is very important to me. It's about why so many "progressives" and people on "the left" are lying to us right now about crime, safety, and repression, and what we should be doing instead. equalityalec.substack.com/p/why-is-eve...

And now back to my full time job, texting the word "stop" to every living Democrat.

Abolish ICE.

Federal law explicitly prohibits the presence of armed federal agents at the polls. But if you encounter intimidation or other issues, call the Election Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE. Know your rights and make a plan to vote at ACLUMaine.org/Vote

One of the clearest ways liberals communicate they think they're human and you aren't is how they respond to criticism by insisting you don't understand what they're saying. They don't defend their claims, just insist they must be correct because they've made them.

Libs think they are real people who have emotions and can feel pain and the rest of us aren't and don't. It's why they'll smugly state that people suffering and dying are a rounding error to be ignored but then screech when people are mean to them in response. They count, you don't.

Liberals who say trans people or refugees or disabled people or Palestinians etc need to go under the bus are telling you very clearly they will harm and kill anyone as long as it benefits them. That absolutely includes you. Pure self preservation means you should oppose them.

Today marks the start of Ace Week. This year we will be amplifying the voices of our co-chair @kathrynbristow.uk who is ace:

when they say shit like "you have to be practical and understand that the average voter is transphobic" they are talking about themselves

i think everyone getting mad are just cowards who are scared to directly say they think the transphobic policies are good

"I understand that there have been some experiments showing that LLM review may have similar outcomes to human peer review, but who cares? Either scholarship, research and publishing are human enterprises or they aren’t." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu... >>

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

so: my landlord got drunk and went ballistic on me and is no longer cool with me owing him two months rent. last night he threatened me with eviction. i owe him $1,400 total, and this is urgent. ko-fi.com/fivefivefive...

The topic of the discussion was "AI", narratives and the future of truth, and we hit on the themes you might expect. The last ~15min were for audience questions, of which the last question was: "What's up with California?" >>

I jumped in with the first response and said, "It's a cult." Everyone laughed, and then I said, "I'm serious. It's actually a cult." and elaborated some on TESCEALists, their shared mythology, and how bananas it all is. >>

gosh I would hate it so much if someone bought a ko-fi for the first time this year😡

“Through working with Sam on the MSAD15 Board, I learned that real service is not about advancing one’s personal agenda, but about showing up, listening, doing the work, and building consensus that serves everyone.”

My dad taught me that, with a soft pencil, you can just keep drawing lines until you see a shape you like, then darken that shape's lines. Then, a gum eraser gets rid of the trial lines. Presto!

I had an encounter today with a guy who was most likely an ICE agent. It was weird, but I'm hearing from folks in ME and in other states that ICE is changing their tactics. Please read and share, especially for Maine folks. shaystewartbouley.substack.com/p/weirdo-or-...

Similar for cars now, I hear.

The key question.

schumers silence on omar is fucking enraging, he needs to go

The Sunrise Movement identified the protester as a Bowdoin College student and said he's part of an effort to confront politicians over climate change. The protestor posed as a journalist to get into the ticketed event. https://bit.ly/4hXEgBS

This probably hits really hard when you don't know anything about history. The main political adversary Hitler dealt with were communists. Liberals/Demsocs chose to rescue capitalism by allying with Hitler in order to defeat the "Red Menace". Liberals love these Faustian bargains.

People who insist Russia is the sole reason Donald Trump is president: "I absolutely would not have fallen for the Reichstag fire being blamed on Soviet communists."

Whenever some old white guy tells me he's a "history buff"....

democrats will throw you under the bus and then get mad at you for not being on the bus

Well they need to do better than VT Dems who let one racist asshole's threats push Kiah Morris out of the state legislature.

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.
