Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them. Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

So future Vance has come back through time to stop his previous self from following the same path? That's my guess, at least.

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

Hope your day was better than Darwin’s, on this day 165 years ago

I feel dumb even just having to say this but the reason passports are mailed out in plain regular envelopes is that so that people do not attempt to steal easily recognizable passports in the mail. bsky.app/profile/carn...

Democrats say the midterms are about the price of gas, food, and healthcare. Republicans say the midterms are about a trans kid who once played high school sports. Donald Trump says the midterms are about a gold-embossed arch and ballroom. Weary voters just want peace and quiet.

The worst part of Bonta caving on the Paramount merger is that it's a big flashing signal to every other company that there is no antitrust enforcement in America and you can bully your way into getting whatever you want. It's a monumentally bad decision.

Have ICE claimed they were defending themselves from a weaponized vehicle yet, for the Austin shooting?

FUCK YES IT'S A GODDAMN DECORATIVE GOURD MOTHERFUCKERS

NEWS: I don’t like transphobes and here is a short list of why. 1) They are full of shit.

I’m on a quiz show that only tapes 46 days a year and even I think this schedule is a little light.

"the author of that harry potter story leads an insane cult that's captured much of the media in this country" is a different person if you're in the UK or the US

james talarico did a fox news interview and all it did was destroy his momentum, piss everyone off and give his opponent ammunition for an ad campaign

‘The Matrix’ creator Lilly Wachowski on J.K. Rowling and the new ‘Harry Potter’ series: “She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support ‘Harry Potter,’ you’re supporting trans genocide.” variety.com/2026/tv/feat...

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

thank you lesbian tractor witch

I'd only be worried about a Trump coup if... a) They fired all the professional generals and replaced them with loyal hacks b) They brought Nat'l Guard troops from pro-Trump states into DC until 1/20/29 c) Trump was building a massive bunker with drones next to the White House wait a minute...

I dunno much about Maness or Anderson but Schlicter is a straight-up fascist who wants to among other things "use the law to ensure blue submission" and "imprison dissenters" to achieve the aim, "force them to be like us."

a friend dubbed musk “csam altman” and i’m furious i didn’t think of it first

To honor Tim Curry's memory, we are making Brütal Legend FREE on Itch.io, for 666 minutes: itch.io/s/199277/the...

Even if this comes true, I'm not sure we'd know. I think they'd Weekend at Bernie's him for as long as possible to keep the grift going.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

LMAOOOOOOOOOO somebody finally asked the transphobes if they know any WNBA players besides and NOPE

Feel like I've responded to that Canadian thread too many times already, so I'm going to throw out some streams here rather than there. www.twitch.tv/restricteden... www.twitch.tv/pyka www.twitch.tv/jessu www.twitch.tv/thesistersof...

there are moments when “this too shall pass” really is a comfort. we humans let each other down.. it happens. however we may feel wronged, what is less known is how we may have wronged others. disappointment is a part of life. we’re wise enough to feel it, let go and move on.

The idea of AI “hallucinating” is one I wish I’d had!

Wow. From the main entry on the Republican Party. Good for Wikipedia, one of the last vestiges of pure truth seeking and editorial standards on the internet.

I’m so naïve I really didn’t think they would let the president sell high-level oval office information to traders for his own enrichment.

As Bowie would say to Mark Goodman two years later: “.. Having watched MTV over the past few months, .. I’m just floored that by the fact that there’s so few black artists featured on it. Why IS that?”

See you in court, creep.

i understand the impulse to react to a terrible story by saying that you’re not surprised, but i hope i’ll always be surprised by terrible stories.

Transphobes are uniformly trash and we don't need to pretend otherwise. It isn't complicated.

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

this is the kind of shit that needs to break Senate Collegiality you simply cannot be friends and exchange grandkid pictures with people who turn around and go on national television to lie about how you only won because you cheated

The news is always "This absolute fool was dismantled in hearings today. He is manifestly unqualified for the position and would be an existential danger if confirmed. Disaster. He is set to be confirmed immediately." When you ask why everyone is furious and exhausted all the time, this is why.
