the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

You can tell things are going well in America because accounts with names like MovieTVFunZone are posting things like, "THE PIGS ARE KIDNAPPING CHILDREN AND PRIESTS. THE TREE OF LIBERTY DEMANDS TO BE WATERED"

What absolutely boils my blood is the constant stream of 6-9 mo/old pittie and husky puppies being "rehomed" in my area. They get a puppy when it's cute but when the difficult stage starts they don't have the "time, care and love" to deal with the dog anymore. Usually the dog isn't socialized at all

From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.

One of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

Other handy scripts for the horrors ahead: “Cut that shit out.” “That’s not a law, it’s a memo.” “Not if I have anything to say about it.” “That seems like none of your business.” “Doesn’t concern you, fellas.” “That’s a problem for me.” “We don’t do that here.” “Show me the warrant.”

Additional scripts for cis het white men who want to be better allies: “What a weird thing to say” “Do you hear yourself right now?” “You shouldn’t say shit like that to people” “I won’t let you talk to them that way” “That’s a disgusting opinion to have” “Shut the fuck up, dude”

This article shouldn't be about Mamdani, it should be about how ranked choice enabled a decent candidate to rise above scumbags with greater name recognition. May it do the same everywhere it is adopted (which should be everywhere).

We are all failing these people. May our government electeds feel the full weight of this on their souls and, should they fail to act now, may they never again know peace.

I have developed a pavlovian-esqe spike in blood pressure when I read "Thank you for you attention to this matter"

This is a technique I’ve used for years because of this one tweet from @sonnyross.bsky.social. Thank you Sonny for changing my life The book cover was designed by Talia Abramson at Penguin but they let me have a bit of a say over the colours. And I said boy do I have an idea….

I enjoyed watching this wasp collect pollen off my apple mint the other day. I think it's in the Entypus genus but unsure of species (Piedmont NC). I grow a lot of herbs but I arguably get more enjoyment out of them when they flower because all the bees and wasps visit.

TIL that Andreesen Horowitz, the main VC backer of Substack, hired Daniel Penny whose only notable achievement is that he killed a Blck man on a subway and then was acquitted for it. He’s now an investor. Sounds about white. Substack is going to fuck you over. It’s just a matter of when and how.

No platform is ever truly free. That applies whether we’re talking about TikTok, Google, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook - or Substack. And if you think to yourself, this time, it'll be different, good luck to you. But sooner or later, you're going to get fucked.

In all seriousness I do need advice on how to dress as an aging punk/goth lady who wants to look a little more mature and polished. Like Kate Lanphear but I don't have her budget or connections. If anyone happens to see this and has suggestions I would be grateful.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.
