What's happening now is kind of worse. The Nazis rose to power while the German Economy was in shambles, with hyperinflation, etc. The great crisis in America was “You must be nice to people you don't like”. The original Nazi-enablers were facing starvation—we were facing tolerating drag queens.

Pretty amazing how Bsky moderation thinks that guy cut words into his own BACK.

How toxic is Trump? A shady PAC is sending out flyers in #Ohio saying that Dem candidate Sherrod Brown supports Trump! The panic is palpable. 😃

UK readers! My publisher made The Dragon Has Some Complaints just 99p for Halloween! A curmudgeonly dragon pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon riding academy. But his new rider is... a lot.

DAE remember the advent of marketing spam? That moment when some dipshit said, “I can use this internet thing to SELL stuff!“ No, no, really kids. Once upon a time the internet existed purely to cooperate and SHARE things. Sure, it was largely p0rn, but still, at least it was FREE.

What do you call a writer without a deadline? A barista.

Ok but hear me out. If this is true: Every subkrewe can do a "Why won't Boomers just die already" theme. I don't think that generation will die knowing the havoc they've wrought. How do you be the only socialist benefits generation and live long enough to deny those benefits?

Holy carp the adverts during the World Series are depressing.

The complexity problem: at some level of complexity, our tools become black boxes. As long as the input and output are well-formed, we have no idea if the black-box worked correctly.

eat SHIT

Dr. Amy Acton's campaign is out with a statement:

Nothing enrages a non-white guy more than another non-white guy who succeeds despite not selling-out his non-white heritage.

So, Jenna Ortega is playing an android that no one wants to buy because of her personality… and we all see the plot hole here, don't we?

The difficulty is distinguishing your hard-won wisdom from your long-held bigotry.

Valuable lesson from the trans-handbook that's useful for everyone: Every day you don't give up is yet another “FUCK YOU” to those that hate you.

We need the “Serena Williams vs. average male” thing actually run as an experiment. I need to know how low the bar has to go before men stop looking like fools. • score point • return serve • hit a serve • swing at the same time as serve crosses line • not die from being hit by serve

Dipshits driving their cars with drag-strip-only exhaust in front of my house at 10 pm notwithstanding.

“The needs of a writer are few: some paper, a pencil, and a deadline.”

The cheapest Chevy pickup cost $10,000 more than their cheapest SUV. Americans are mentally ill.

if youre lobbying for people to use a social media app that has a built in child pornography generator im going to make some assumptions about you

<trump> The Nazis were Bad Guys. Very bad guys. But you gotta hand it to them—they knew how to build a camp. Big, orderly, secure. And efficient! So efficient. They laid train tracks right up to the front gate. Even THROUGH the front gate. Such great camps. Dachau… rhymes with “Wow”! </trump>

Ahem.

Since this is finally getting some traction, this is how we were treated today. Its the women and queer comrades who took the brunt of the hits. #SIR #India #muckFodi

Some ~personal~ news: After five years, I have been laid off from @the-independent.com. I am grateful for the time I have had there. With that in mind, I am absolutely looking for new work opportunities, especially ahead if the midterms. My email is EMGarcia2009@gmail.com. My signal is emgarcia.85

This is wild - somebody did a deep dive into the real stories behind this famous XKCD: sheets.works/data-viz/hol...

Patriarchy gone mad: I asked AI to generate an image of two lesbian warriors engaged in cunnilingus (don't judge me) and in the image there's a PENIS involved.

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through midnight on 10/7, enjoy free shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

Holy shit.

the Ohio Democratic party is purging its ranks by forcing trans people to either resign or go along with politicians who threaten their existence and calling a pride group an "unwelcoming distraction." If we're just a distraction, then win without our votes and get rid of the fake "pride" orgs 👍🏾

Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy. Full text below. 👇

This might actually be a good policy.

Like we don’t have political disagreements, we have disagreements on the nature of reality 

Using AI image-generation means having to say things like “a golf-balled-sized golf ball”.

If the Dems win the senate, expect this retirement and then the Senate GOP will jam the next person down our throats. Probably someone like Judge Eileen Cannon. Good lord www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

How to gently explain that while headphones may muffle the sounds of you chewing/eating/smacking FOR YOU, they don't for anyone else?

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

So many things to say about this. The invocation of "OUR movement," for one. There is a genuine movement to resist the Trump administration, but AltNPS is damn sure not running it. They're just here to profit off of it and sell merch.

GenX has the Bandit's Trans Am, the General Lee, and Kit from Knight Rider. Do #Millennials have any iconic cars? (I'm brainstorming Xmas gift ideas.)
