Documentaries tend not to go far with theaters runs, but this one deserves to be seen far and wide. It's a tough watch but necessary for what it reveals and how many people don't want it to be seen. movieswithmark.com/musk-2026-re...

At this point, if a Democratic presidential candidate wants my vote, their platform has to - at bare minimum - include some version of "I am going to put all these freaks in prison for their crimes." Full stop. No compromise. I am now a single issue voter for the dark woke prison camps.

look, if the pedophile label is a bridge too far for you, I'm willing to let you concede that Donald Trump only spent a lot of time with convicted sex traffickers of minors. And spent hours alone with a trafficked and abused minor in the home of the person trafficking her for sex.

But he has clearly used his official standing within the government to provide one of those convicted sex traffickers of minors better accommodations in prison whilst simultaneously doing everything he can to block the release of the documents that would surely prove his own innocence. Surely.

To the craven "comedians" who are STILL not speaking up: The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE. They filed no charges, he's a US citizen, and his family doesn't know where he is. They are coming for all of us. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you still can.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

Sometimes, motorsports gets it. SCCA Solo Nats competitor is protested on Day 1 in a ladies class for being trans. Protest committee rules aggrieved party should get fucked into the sun. Day 2 the rest of class shows support for the protested party on way to her first run. She would go on to win.

no matter how you feel about 4chan, the UK trying to impose a penalty on a website that is in no way within UK jurisdiction is an absolutely massive overreach that would absolutely be used to target literally any website you actually care about.

When platforms are forced to block “anything that might harm kids,” the result is overreach. A real rights-respecting solution to keeping people safe online is one that's built on user control, privacy, and smart design, not censorship. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Stripe crossed a line now. Call up whatever local LGBT organizations exist in your area, gay activist groups, gay bars, pride organizing committees, folks who schedule drag shows, queer church groups, everyone. Also libraries and bookstores. Show up in person to talk to any business using Stripe.

Same during my call- the wording I used was “non-explicit, legal, non-adult LGBT content”, and I got back the response that “yes, stripe is blocking this. We’re a private company, we make our own rules about it.” Was hung up on when I asked why.

i can see this one is going to get a lot of use

Daily Mail now is reporting "Bill Clinton wrote 'warm & gushing' letter included in Jeffrey Epstein's infamous 50th 'birthday book." Ok. If files show Bill Clinton is guilty of being a client, as a long-time supporter of the ex-President I can say he should go to prison. Sad but not difficult

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

Me on hour 14 of dragging Republican Medicaid cuts for filth and giving them no end in sight

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it. If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

The year is 2028. The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers are playing in the NFC championship. Caleb Williams throws a late touchdown to put the Bears ahead, but the ref throws a flag for OPI. He looks behind him and sees the Pope shouting "r u fuckin' blind ref??". He picks up the flag, Bears win.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Going to keep saying: a society that wants to keep its basic functioning has to discourage lying. rewarding it instead is suicidal

Andrew Lawrence@ndrew.bsky.social

big lesson for america here: one reason you dont elect people who believe bull shit like "theyre eating the pets" or "theyre putting kitty litter boxes in the classrooms" is bc if they get in power theyll believe bull shit like "tariffs are a tax cut actually"
