Navajo code talkers but it's just a dude speaking spanish
Alford: "On Bad Bunny - we're still investigating. There's info out about the lyrics. I don't speak fluent Spanish, but if it's true what was said on natl TV, we have a lot of Qs for entities that broadcast it & we'll be talking w/ the FCC. This could be worse than the Janet wardrobe malfunction"
Dems (correctly, I believe) expect to do very well in the midterms and that terrifies them, so expect them to push a bunch more do nothing centrist suits that they trust to push back against any meaningful change.
bigger worry for me at this point is the Democrats getting handed a victory and not taking advantage of it in any meaningful way.
Got a bunch of eugenicists who think it's the government's responsibility to solve their problem of women being repulsed by their genetics
they're trying to be coy about salivating over the prospect of raping women, they'll contest that but if pushed to explain, that's exactly what they would describe. forced pregnancy of any kind, by a man or by the state, is gender-based violence
I like a lot of veggies but I'm picky about how they're prepared. I only like them prepared one way: buried under a block of melted velveeta
I like a lot of seafood, but I'm very picky about how it's prepared. With a few exceptions, I only like seafood prepared one way: fried. Every other kind of animal flesh - beef, pork, chicken, whatever - I can enjoy in a variety of styles and recipes, but not seafood.
"If you don't respect me as an authority, then I won't respect you as a human being"
This is sort of a throughline in cases of excessive force used by law enforcement. The civilian is supposed to perfectly adhere to some unwritten code of conduct; the armed professional supposedly trained for such situations is only human & must be given lattitude if they succumb to fear and rage.
Give every single dollar you've made spreading your dangerously garbage opinions for the last decade to a Minneapolis mutual aid fund and we'll talk about being happy with your change
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?
"What if the baby you abort grew up to cure cancer?" What if grew up to be Mike fuckin Johnson?
Mike Johnson: "I was the product of an unplanned teen pregnancy exactly one year before Roe. A lot of people tried to convince my very young parents that they should just take care of that problem. But I am eternally grateful that they allowed me the chance at life."
You are up to date.
