If you want me, you can find me Left of center, off of the strip in CO's 2nd. Two things to know about me: - I'm worth a million in prizes! - Never been afraid of any deviation!

What's even funnier is that these dipshit Republican faux outrage performers are reminding everyone who didn't know or didn't remember what the Cheesecake Factory looks like why Obama's joke was spot on.

The Cheesecake Factory chain is apparently experiencing an influx of new customers from the performative MAGA cult. Thoughts and prayers to its servers as they watch their tips nose-dive.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

An email I just sent @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social, asking for a refund of the money I donated. If you've donated money to Turek and want it back, feel free to swipe my (admittedly very boring) wording.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

JeffCO reposted

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.

I'm a big fan of Scranton PA's own Cynthia Rothrock. Even when a movie she's in is dumb, she shines. And I think I came up with a good description of her default character: she's Bruce Lee crossed with Cindy Lauper.

Jance Dance Vance has plenty of shit to say all the time, about all kinds of stuff that’s none of his business. Suddenly he’s a bashful flower loathe to give an opinion. What an obnoxious dork.

It's often said "Hey, fuck these guys!" but here are two guys who really really really have earned it. Fuck these guys!

Having the pictures of these two men here really helps clarify things. After all, they clearly aren't worried about being kidnapped by ICE, shot by police, having their rights stripped away, or inequality.

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

JeffCO reposted

Unfortunately there are people who care about trans people having rights who are not trans people themselves and I’m sure that the number will suddenly grow exponentially post election when candidates have lost and you’re looking for someone to blame that isn’t the candidates themselves

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

NYC is going to put $500k into making pet food available at food pantries. Almost 25% of pet owners have considered rehoming a pet bc of costs. 12% of pet owners have. Sheltering/policing ownerless pets is MORE expensive than making it possible to keep them. This is cute politics and good policy.

This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

Nope. Abortion rights are in danger because we don't have many leaders willing to stand up and say it's a social good. Instead they talk about "women's repro healthcare." Abortion is so popular that Colorado's repro health amendment with no fetal viability ban passed in Lauren Boebert's district.

Stoobz@stoobz.bsky.social

No, I am explicitly avoiding framing it as a moral decision. Being "pro-" something is framing it as a moral decision. The fact is, abortion rights are generally popular as a result of the rhetorical decisions made in the past. Abortion rights are in danger because Americans are easily tricked...

This post isn’t making a point about voting, but people with pundit-brain can’t approach any idea w/o equating it to voting, and so they respond by demanding assurances about voting—to which I say those who offer no assurances will receive no assurances. Feel a fraction of the anxiety you cause.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

So there's constantly this dynamic in which expansion skeptics are like "that won't solve Problem X" or "ah but that has drawback Y" or whatever and expansion supporters are like "yeah no shit, our democracy needs a whole mess of reforms, which is why we need a pro-democracy SCOTUS asap."

All I know is, when they released 3 Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds movies at once, I got confused and bought 4 tickets, so I‘m not sure releasing 4 Beatles biopics at once is necessarily a good idea. youtu.be/dhwOwl1KfSU?...

Sony is considering releasing all 4 ‘BEATLES’ biopics on the same day in April 2028. Another idea being considered is offering a 4-pack of tickets to encourage fans to buy tickets to all 4 films at once. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)

I would take more seriously the people promoting the idea of AI consciousness if they first materially grappled with the (much more obvious) consciousness of animals and how that affects our moral obligations to them.
