Shoegaze

"the gays gained rights by voting for the homophobic democrats." no the democrats gained the votes of gay people when they started offering policy concessions, however slow and incremental. this also goes in reverse. offer incremental concessions to the right on trans issues and lose our support

I simply refuse to believe this man knows the word Antithesis

@overduepod.bsky.social if the girl next door freaked you guys out I am curious about your thoughts on exquisite corpse, a book that I will never recommend to anyone ever as long as I live, which made me almost puke and still squicks me out nearly a decade later.

President Trump felt bad that only members of his Administration were getting bribes and wanted all Americans to have a chance to be bribed.

Increasingly convinced this is the most important post

What is important right now for the Democrats to do is to discredit the political project of a Republican Party captured by far right extremists, and to kill dead any attempt at Redemptionist politics.

Bets on how long before the DNC muzzles him like they did with Walz over the “weird” comments?

the oscilloscope can produce mind-boggling effects 💀

You might disagree with Kavanaugh about the constitutionality of high school athlete genital inspections, but you can't deny he's always been very consistent in his support for nonconsensually groping teen girls.

politicians would rather ban children from social media than prosecute a single billionaire funding and operating an on demand csam generator

I am not likely to forget but I’m gonna know from my Wrapped when my dog died this year. open.spotify.com/track/58fbdZ...

One of the most consequential short films in history that explains why some people are like that. A load bearing part of early aughts random humor. Still a good watch too.

Polyamory allows space for wandering and exploration. My monogamous relationships, in retrospect, didn’t have that freedom that is a byproduct of those conversations

Every time I open Bluesky,

Motherfucker, I subsidize these jackasses by NOT driving my car and taking the train so they have less traffic. Jesus

staged assassination attempts and all other forms of distraction from the Epstein files will continue until morale improves

Call us back when you're ready to federally ban gerrymandering. Until then, enjoy a taste of your own medicine

Republicans in red states have gerrymandered to shit and back, often illegally, and when voters have passed initiatives to ban the practice, they have (even more illegally) ignored and undercut them. It is a little late to clutch your pearls and weep about the sanctity of democracy now

The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

To any Hungarians annoyed that Americans are placing the credit for your momentous victory on the shoulders of our stunningly repellent little weasel of a VP: you are correct to feel that way, I'm sorry, we just want to seize any available oppurtunity to humiliate him specificially

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!" The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

“…hold a stranglehold…” brb im gonna go run onto the interstate. 75$ a month for this writing? @financialtimes.com

I think at some point when they eventually add more consoles they should consolidate all systems into one app

Not the most important thing but this email’s wording is horrific.

I will venmo any reporter $2,000 to give trump a map of the middle east and ask him to identify iran

Except…they supposedly have eyes and consciences and brains and hearts and have vowed to uphold the constitution…..and yet…..this

i’m so excited for peace in the Middle East. we’re only one war away.

"Removing bovino doesn't solve the problem" I dunno, dude, it seems to entirely solve the problem of having bovino around. Bitch is a first town boss in a jrpg. He's not the end, but beating him allows you to progress and feel good about it.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

No reform is possible, this agency is a cancer. You don’t reform cancer - you destroy it.

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

You do realize that Trump is doing this because of who you are, right? Some part of this is because you were on the ticket in 2024 and he’s brutalizing your citizens to punish you. Own it. Force the issue of the national guard. Defend your citizens.

Catastrophe: Florida's Department of Health is stopping coverage for antivirals to 10,000 low-income people with HIV infection, blaming impending federal cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. 12.5% of Americans with HIV live in Florida.

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.

And thus continues my pleasant surprise at some of the responses of episcopal leaders. Catholic-lite but teachings-heavy it would seem.

And there aren’t enough jail cells for these ghouls

Not the issue but is this bigot is mixing country name with demonym
