I think this is a great counterexample to the recent discourse on here about other candidates' support for trans rights, in that it's a very good example of a Democrat who *does* have noxious views on the subject and is clearly OK with saying them.

This is bad and should be called out. I push back against accusing everyone that breathes for wanting to throw us under the bus, so it is credible when we call it out when it unambiguously occurs. This is an unambiguous occurrence.

I love this because from America it seems like British politics are just "The 5th decree of the Counselour of the Second Royal Exchequer must, at the 3rd and 18th days of every odd month, proceed to dance upon the roof of the Parliament and if he shall not the military shall be dissolved"

TECHNICALLY in Britain there's nothing in the rulebook that says ANYTHING Because... there is no rulebook!

And then we're sitting here and the Second Royal Exchequer broke his leg on the second day so it seems like there's this governmental scramble to figure out how to officially call the King to ask him to appoint a new Second Royal Exchequer

Helicopters do not fly in any meaningful sense of the word. They use the full power of JET-A to beat the air into submission, and sometimes the air revolts.

My Jewish friends are all pretty freaked out and have been for a while, watching what’s happening. How normalized open antisemitism has become. I just want to say that I’m not Jewish, but I’ll do my best to have your back. I’ll always try to be a safe person.

It will never cease to amaze me that we regularly have these terrifyingly destructive storms caught on camera demolishing entire houses, and because of the amazing work of the NWS, we have death counts in the single digits, if any at all. Just an amazing modern innovation.

Look for the helpers. Faced with evil, watch for the decent people standing against it.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the US President Ronald Reagan. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to him"

I regret to inform you that Slotkin'd: "As a Cold War kid, I'm thankful it was Reagan and not Trump in office in the 1980s. Trump would have lost us the Cold War."

You don’t have to fly or use the US flag if you don’t personally want to, but you also need to stop this bizarre and counterproductive habit of acting like everyone who does is a cop or a fascist.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

when they go low we paint a big black half circle on a boulder so it looks like a tunnel and watch their dumb asses run into it with a CLANGGG like Looney Tunes characters

Hi. I was away for a week. Hope everyone is doing well. There are people who believe the reasons for my absence are shameful and disqualifying for full participation on public life. Those people can snort my taint. If you need help, get help. Don’t wait to be in crisis. You can feel better. /1

So of course NOAA and the NWS are listed by name as being on the chopping block for Project 2025. To be eliminated and stripped for parts. Because they have the audacity to report that yes, climate change is a thing and is happening, because we can observe it.

Vote. Also knock on doors, volunteer for campaingns. Get involved locally. Go to meetings, work with others, make your own community safer, better, more organized. Know what's on school board agendas. Show up and comment. Give politicians a reason to know what you want, and why they should care.

there's nothing wrong with having feelings of despair and futility, but i think it's most responsible to avoid airing all that out in public to the greatest extent possible right now. we need to cultivate a vengeance-driven, enraged espirit de corps right now, because we need people to fight

Watching Google shutter things that actually worked, like Google Play Music, and now Google Podcasts, to turn them into YouTube Music is like someone coming into your kitchen who takes away your blender and kettle then lets you know you'll now only be able to boil water or blend things in your car.
