my wow forever hot take is that it is very clear the reaction to the blue elves is due to the fact they are feminine and people won't ever admit that, and instead will point to a nebulous design conflict (even though wow classic has purple elves)

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

"Forty-nine votes were cast against the new rules, whilst only one vote was cast in their favour", yet still they went ahead with the ban. Clearly, women's opinions do not count!

because that's how everything works now. If something happens that is inconvenient for your political beliefs, it's fake news, an AI hoax, a false flag, etc. Liberals and leftists do this less often than conservatives, but the gap is closing fast

I don't get why a bunch of people on BlueSky instantly concluded this assassination attempt was fake? I mean, like, I guess it could be, wouldn't be the strangest thing to have happened ever. But probably not, surely? What would even be the point of that? Just - why the weird conspiracy brain stuff?

It's silly and wrong to act like Trump was gonna be committed to pacifist foreign policy before the Israelis blackmailed him. And, yes, it is in fact anti-Semitic. For one thing, there's evidently a section of the American military establishment who have been gagging for war with Iran for decades.

I'm happy that the bombing will stop for 2 weeks, and hopefully this will lead to a longer lasting ceasefire but god I want off this ride

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.

We now see you for what you are. The three war parties: One Nation, the Coalition and Labor who have never seen a US war they don't want to back in. Millions of Australians disagree with you. They want a government of principle, they want a government of peace.

only the greens can stop reform, a vote for labour is utterly wasted right now, they are collapsing everywhere

‼️ BREAKING: Greens WIN Gorton and Denton by-election in a landslide victory 🟢 Grn: 41% (+27) ➡️ Ref: 29% (+15) 🔴 Lab: 25% (-25) 🔵 Con: 2% (-6) 🟠 Lib: 2% (-2) Green GAIN from Labour (+/- vs GE2024) ‼️First-ever Green win in an MP by-election

I can't help but get a little annoyed about how little international attention auspol gets overseas but usually it's understandable, but seeing nothing about the literal visit of the Israeli president and the police response to protests in international spaces is a bit more disappointing.

bari is the standard bearer for the media types who think any journalism that leads the consumer toward a left-wing position must be tempered and balanced until it doesn’t.

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area. (15 in Manhattan btw)

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

Across the world, game dev unions are standing with us. @rockstargames.com - reinstate our members, now!

SAG-AFTRA stands in solidarity with the IWGB Game Workers Union exercising their right to organize following reports of union-busting at Rockstar. Our members’ union performances on Rockstar games are an integral part of the success and legacy of games like Grand Theft Auto.

Left-NIMBYs and right-NIMBYs in the most suburban district of SF teamed up to recall a city supervisor because he supported housing and pedestrian friendly streets. Just extremely cursed stuff. NIMBYs must be crushed.

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social

JUST IN: Voters in San Francisco's Sunset District have recalled their supervisor, Joel Engardio. Recall leads huge in early returns, nearly 2 to 1. Engardio, who rode to office after himself working to recall SF progressives, then angered constituents by championing replacing the "Great Highway".

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

it’s insane that real antisemitism like this is intensely normalized and endorsed by the most powerful people in the world but you can’t say free palestine without people trying to ruin your life

If you’re doing mutual Aid in Texas right now, and there’s something we can do here to help, hit me up. I’m disgusted to see people mocking communities that lost their little children, what the fuck is wrong with some of you?

the classic contradiction here is that capitalists want to increase profits by reducing what they pay out in wages, but they also need a consumer base with money to buy the products their companies make. if no jobs then how people buy things

seconding this. if you get hit directly in the head with an impact munitions like this or a grenade go immediately to the ER. don't stay to protest with your friends. Don't try to be "tough". your night or day is done. seek medical care
