Underneath the "progressive" papacy of Pope Leo remains a deeply reactionary institution, one of the biggest enemies of trans rights worldwide. @sjklapecki.itch.io, who survived the Catholic Church's bigotry firsthand, goes in-depth on why it's time to see through the propaganda and face reality.

Okay. It's the "D&D: HONOR AMONG THIEVES" guys, they "get" that Trek is primarily about Navy/submarine tropes and they're not afraid to do "Starfleet isn't perfect maybe." That's a lot of positives eight upfront, so let's see the fandom hate this on sight for not just being TNG again 🫡

I don’t just want Seth Moulton to lose. I want him to be embarrassed by how badly he loses. He has done nothing but waste the people of Massachusetts’ time, money, and attention by running a slimy campaign. This kind of behavior should result in embarrassment.

Two cops in SF types the wrong license plate number into their patrol car's computer, arrested the wrong person for car theft. Then the SF DA's office spent a year prosecuting him before he ultimately killed himself.

New: 3 yrs ago I published exposé revealing Richard Hanania used pseudonym to write for Nazi sites Ever since I've watched centrist media rehabilitate him, accepting his ludicrous claim to have left white nationalism behind. My look at what it means, for @marisakabas.bsky.social' The Handbasket
