A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

I've donated to a few candidates before and so my name is on lists of folks who can be persuaded to open up their wallets for dems in close races. And it's true! I can! The magic words are "trans rights are human rights and I will not dignify weird creeps' obsession with teen girls' genitals."

Technically, a dictionary is a book of spells.

Abolish ICE.

Peggy Flanagan runs the kind of ad that every user on this website has been demanding Democrats run for years and the replies are just people getting mad that she didn’t use the exact words that they wanted. This website is addicted to getting mad and should knock it off. It’s embarrassing.

"We have guns too" isn't a bad campaign slogan to run against MAGA, gotta be honest

I don't disagree, but would like to add. A chess program that could beat a grandmaster was considered the goalpost for AI. Until a machine did it. Then society quibbled over what Intellegence really meant. It's AI until the machine does it, then we give it a new name. All the way back to 1955

Dawnsbury Days started as a (mostly) solo effort but now it also credits 7 artists, 2 cartographers, 2 composers, 50 voice actors, 3 game designers, 2 writers, 6 programmers, and more collaborators still! Thank you everyone so much for your help with what has become a huge project! ❤️

We are aware of multiple stops conducted today by federal agents in the Madera and Fresno areas. We remind the public to stay calm, to verify information, and to exercise one’s rights, including the right to not answer questions. If detained, do not sign anything without speaking to a lawyer. 1/

This article makes the case that speaking out can work. That we shouldn't just let Democrats be transphobic and with the right kind of pressure they can change.

Texas Dem. Candidate for Senate clarified his comments regarding trans sports from last week in a sit-down interview yesterday with The Texas Tribune, stating his position has not changed and he does not support a trans athlete ban. Subscribe to support our journalism.

There are like 500 of these books and they all exist in an alternate universe where trying to win over white working class voters is a Bold Forbidden Insight rather than the guiding ideology of the entire party.

holy shit, dems actually have a chance to flip the PA Senate and NC leg to get trifectas in both states I have updated the optimized state donation list so we can donate to these candidates that just need a little bit of $ to take advantage of what could be the biggest blue wave in history

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

Weird, she ‘moderated’ on trans rights and yet her opponent is still calling her a deranged leftist SJW. If only there was some kind of precedent for this so it could have been predicted in advance.

Every democratic candidate deciding to moderate on a social issue to 'take it off the table'

Incredible headline here (among other things)

Rupert Murdoch should be sent to the Hague

Dr Oz invoking the classic rule of "game recognizes game"

Perfectly states what I've been saying for some time, now.

Just in time for the 2026-2027 vaccines, a new review shows that COVID19 vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and hospitalization across all age groups, including kids. Pregnant women were also protected, as were their babies. Don’t forget to schedule your vaccination!

Hey, I've been working on this article for a while. It goes deep into the theology and history of the Catholic church, particularly how it's reacted to potential opportunities to actually change and the caveats it always puts on its progressive-seeming statements. Please consider reading it.

these people should be ashamed of themselves for several reasons share.google/IB2NzxpKmZaF...

Reactionary centrist pundits: Democratic leaders need to drop the identity politics and focus on economic issues! Democratic leader: [does that] Reactionary centrist pundits:

Remember, the Biden administration's Office of Science and Technology Policy issued a memorandum requiring every publication and supporting data resulting from federally funded research be made available without a paywall and without an embargo by December 2025. Trump is reversing that.

macabre = “muh-KAHB” Worcestershire = “WOOSS-ter-sheer” omnipotent = “ahm-NI-puh-tunt” reticent = “RET-uh-sunt” epitome = “ih-PIT-uh-mee” myriad = "MEER-ee-ud" Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

this is like 60% or more of political discourse on here these days

The administration is now censoring Stars & Stripes, a newspaper owned by the Department of Defense, for being too woke* *reporting on the suffering of the dependents of U.S. soldiers abroad due to Trump's war with Iran

Apologies but I cannot let a mention of J Michael Bailey go by without posting the outline of his wikipedia page

the amount of grace these racist fucks receive is just loony

"We hired you to research modern liberalism and you spend all day associating us with debunked race science" I dunno, feels pretty firable

When I posted about this earlier A LOT of folks defaulted to saying "nothing will happen to him / the cops like him" and I am begging some of you to learn to take little moments of satisfaction when good things happen. A shitty guy had a shittier day. It's ok to smile at that.

It is finally safe to say something people have been saying, loudly and repeatedly, in the nation's most prominent media, since March 2020
