It's funny because on here you often have to scroll down to find weird non-sequiturs from the most tedious people imaginable. Meanwhile on Twitter tedious weirdos can pay to be at the top of threads. It's almost as if they like that better because they're the tedious weirdos.
Is he doing the work though? The "trolling" is ai slop generated by proud Trump voters on his social media team and the redistricting is ballot measure that may not pass, rather than actually just doing the redistricting like Texas. Beyond that he's platforming white nationalists on his podcast.
American cops have no problem brutalizing kids. They have before and will again. This isn't a "gotcha" because it won't stop them and it won't lead to any meaningful change or punishment because it'll be buried by the new media, like all of their unprovoked violence during civil rights protests.
It's funny seeing leftists saying stuff like "I don't think billionaires should exist but I'd vote for Pritzker" while centrists repeatedly try to claim we demand "a perfect candidate." Feels like the centrists want Newsom because he sucks on trans rights, Gaza, etc and they agree with him 100%.
That is how racists operate: the real discrimination is you calling them racist for their "objectively correct views." She threw in a dash of "acknowledging Palestinians as human beings is actually a hate crime" for good measure.
You need to go easier on Schumer, he's been keenly aware of the most pressing issues on the American Public's mind right now and that is why he has spent the last couple months writing and revising his sternly worded letter to Biden's tumor.
No. Not at all. The worst part of Canadian politics is the feeling that so much is just being decided by Americans. Just New York and Pennsylvania joining would more than double the population of Canada. American politics push Canadian conservatives further right and give them a huge majority.
While Trump often accuses others of crimes he or his allies are committing, he is also the sort of credulous dipshit who wouldn't understand that Putin's unconvincinge body doubles aren't literal clones.
Tesla doors also automatically lock when they lose power and Elon loves to hide the manual release for "aesthetics." So when because the battery catches fire and the power cuts, if you're still conscious you're stuck googling for the way out while breathing incredibly toxic smoke.
If it wasn't games it'd be something else. They made a choice not to address violent white supremacy and then scrambled to find something to blame instead. They also pretended the shooters were "bullied" instead being bullies, slandering the kids who died to protect violent white supremacy.
It's actually >80% straight. 7% was just lesbians, which they stated were the largest "LGB" group in LGBA. Still absurdly high for a group that accuses LGBTQ+ orgs of ignoring gay rights and being "controlled" by trans people, but not surprising given LGBA gets money from The Heritage Foundation.
BARBAROUS RETURNS!!! TOMORROW!! AUGUST 28!!!!!! Always read BARBAROUS for free at johnnywander.com!
Now that he is taking a tough stance on (this) crime, surely Philly cops will praise him and happily work with his office to arrest ICE thugs.
"New Dems," entirely indistinguishable from the old Dems. Even down to the part where they think all people want is rebrand of the same old shit.
Let's not forget the absolute soul crushing revelation that they remade parts of MGS3 in Fox Engine only to use it for a pachislot machine. People were incredibly unhappy about the remake they didn't get.
Just down the road from the intersection of Marty, Dan and Dan.
You keep saying it was going "too quickly." The Olympics allowed trans people 22 years ago. NCAA followed a couple years later, and then after that a smattering of schools and states. If you think that snails pace was "too fast" you're against trans kids in athletics.
Why do you feel high school athletics should have more restrictions than the Olympics?
The time between the Olympics allowing trans athletes and the first one finally competing was so long that there were cis women who were born and won Olympic medals in between. How exactly did they "push so quickly on sports?" Decades old rules aren't new just because you didn't know they existed.
As a Canadian I've lost track of how many times I've had websites go "oh, you're in Quebec, we're going to default to French now" despite having never lived in Quebec.
Weird how "culture and heritage" for American conservatives tend to be things built far later than they're portraying it, and always involves explicit discrimination against Black people. www.justice.gov/archive/opa/...
Evergreen reminder that transphobes got "brains finish developing at 25" from a study on brain development that didn't include anyone over 25. It never claimed brains "stop developing" it just had an age cutoff. Brains don't stop developing, learning is development.
I think he put Starmer on the wrong side of the table.
Bloober is the John Boyne of games, approaching sensitive topics with zero research and a lot of unearned confidence. Then when they fuck up spectacularly a bunch of equally ignorant dudes go "I don't see what's so bad about this."
Yet none of the people cheering for it will even get marked "rude."
Some of those staff members are also proud Trump voters so it's hard to believe they're ever going to hit him where it truly hurts.
The only excuse Democrats have is "they told us they didn't really mean it behind closed doors." Everything they did supported what they said publicly but Dems couldn't imagine they were the ones being lied to.
He also praised some of Trump's tariffs while he was running the ad campaign in Canada. If he were simply all talk that'd be one thing but he actively backstabs people.
I personally love him describing himself as "challenging liberal orthodoxy" by telling leftists to shut up and get ready to swallow the worst guy liberals can find. A belief liberals classically never hold. 🙄
"A 5% drop chance is low" tell me you've literally never played a video game.
They stage protests to demand soldiers not be prosecuted for raping prisoners and cabinet ministers show up in support.
The difference is Oliver hates trans people so he's going to say whatever he needs to in order to make this justified. Look at his post history.
I dunno, all of Hanks business ideas that have come to fruition have been good so it stands to reason the other 1000 are also good. Anyway look at this cool plane.
The fact that banning interfaith marriages in Israel also effectively bans the majority of interracial marriages is just an unfortunate side effect, surely.
He needs to hold a clear and definite distinction between interfaith marriages and interracial marriages in his mind because Israel only bans one of those.
In 1977, Disabled activists occupied the Federal Building in San Francisco to demand the passage of Section 504— legislation to protect against disability discrimination.When the building was cordoned off, in an effort to starve activists out, The Black Panthers *Broke In* to deliver them hot meals.
Funny how when it's trans women saying "I wish ill upon this person" it's an automatic ban but when people defending Israel's genocide call us the t-slur, misgender us and describe the ways in which they hope we're violently murdered for disagreeing with them they get a single post marked "rude."
Israel spends significantly more money promoting Tel Aviv Pride to international tourists than they spend on actual LGBTQ+ rights groups in the country. At one point the disparity was more than 10:1. They also love to make unprovoked attacks right before Pride so it gets cancelled by retaliation.
I dunno, I think he'd also look a lot nicer 1000m under the ocean, experiencing about 1400psi.
They do plenty to help people. The problem is the only people they're helping are The Heritage Foundation, the group that wrote Project 2025 and helped fund the creation of LGBA. That is why LGBA promotes ideas like "it's not bigotry to oppose marriage equality" and "it's good to bully gay kids."
Not to mention they're cool with the US government burning a couple million dollars weekly so Trump can play golf on his own courses instead of one the ~4 high security courses it maintains around DC specifically for high level government officials.
Everyone knows that the only way to stop a bad guy with a fascism is a good guy with a fascism. It's just common sense.
The current Democratic party platform dying in office of old age at the worst possible time and fast-tracking horrific Trump nominees so they don't have to work through the weekend.
The problem is Democrats like Newsom aren't offering harm reduction. Their supporters are pushing a nebulous idea that just as long as you can get conservatives out of power things must get better. Kier Starmer rose to power in the UK on a similar wave and then things didn't get better for anyone.
The primary difference between the Enlightened Centrist view and the Conservative view on trans rights is Conservatives don't say "you just lost yourself an ally" when you call them on their shit.
"We should throw trans people to the wolves because the terrible politicians I support never even tried to push back against conservative smears" was you being respectful? Like all centrists you're only ever worried about being "respectful" to those you view as actual people, which ain't us.
I agree with the sentiment that anyone working for ICE is complicit. From a practical standpoint though: cops and prosecutors will close ranks to protect agents and leaders. So custodians should be off the table if only so the justice system can't resist reform by prosecuting 200 janitors first.
So to be clear you're saying that a governor starting a podcast specifically to platform white supremacists, nazis and other assorted fascists is "good."
She actively drove people away flipping from "We're not going back" to "actually we should go back to 2000, when Republicans still tried to steal elections but they were nicer to us."
Yeah, this isn't trans rights vs cis rights. This is trans rights vs cis comfort. Bigots don't actually have a right to never feel uncomfortable and we shouldn't be barring groups from public life on their behalf.
John Boyne, the guy who wrote a kids book about the Holocaust, having done zero research, that focused on how hard it must have been for the Germans. He turned around and did the same thing for Trans kids. The moral of that story was "don't transition because your family won't like it."
This is something that just keeps happening with his books. He decides to address a topic that people are sensitive about with zero research and a "well this just seems like it's right to me" mentality. This is how you get into fights with Holocaust museums.
Who could have guessed that the company that changed their hate-speech rules to protect white supremacist views and calling marginalized groups "groomers" would be building an automated racism and grooming engine.
The sexual harassment/abuse scandals involving some of the oldest employees at legacy companies like Ubisoft and Blizzard demonstrate how game dev went from Roberta Williams being one of the most successful developers in the 80s to "women don't make games" in the 90s.
Video games only became a boys club by pushing women out. Arcade cabinets and pre-NES consoles were marketed to everyone. The NES being marketed to boys lead to fewer women consumers and a need for larger teams with formal hierarchies and hiring processes saw execs push women out of development.

50/50 chance and we have no idea how many times he tried. Don't have to get lucky when you can keep rolling the dice. The wording specifications to pick one and only output a name kinda indicates he tried earlier without those qualifiers and it came back with "they're both massive liars."
The right wing media didn't even make it a week into his first term before calling for mass violence. Tucker Carlson's website posted a video encouraging his audience to run over anti-Trump protesters with their cars, two days later it was syndicated by Fox News. One. Week.
Don't forget the comic in a comic where multiple characters just assumed Joyce's self insert was gay for "Definitely Not Dorothy (OC Do Not Steal.)"
Streeting was dismantling Trans healthcare before Trump won in November. Starmer started throwing trans folk under the bus before the UK election wrapped up. Not to mention there are other options for trade that don't involve a fascist who has stabbed every trade partner in the back.
I love how that excuse only works if you don't know the legal definition of rape (you don't need your dick out) or how men's underwear works (there is a hole in the front for your dick), both things he 100% knows as a lawyer with a dick who defends rapists. A complete insult to our intelligence.
I dunno I feel like Chris' work on Nazis isn't entirely accurate.
Snake: While she was developing Bloodborne PSX she adopted a rabbit fursona. Raiden: So that's why they call her Bunlith. Snake: No, it's because she's bisexual.
That was not what he was saying. That is pretty standard nuclear safety procedure anywhere. Doesn't matter which country is handling the security, if it's bombs or nuclear power. There is a line that if you cross it without authorization your life is forfeit. That is what the warnings are for.
Remember when I said JK Rowling spends twenty cents of each dollar you give her harming trans people? Based on the size of the anti-trans legal fund she started, its more like $0.95 per dollar
This is the guy who constantly talks down to the left with that "the adults are talking" shit. A man who acts, talks and holds the beliefs of a 13 year old dipshit.
A couple months into the genocide the IDF released stats that estimated only 5-10% of casualties were Hamas. They quickly retracted their admission of genocide and republished with a new definition of "Hamas," which included every adult man, most adult women and a good number of children as well.

This is how conversion therapists view the astounding mortality rate in their patients. Never "oops, I tortured another person to death" but always "what a tragedy, despite my best efforts the disease spread too far." Little wonder why the Nazis burned research showing affirmative care saves lives.
The UGSF timeline was retroactively established in 2011. New Space Order was cancelled in 2009 so it's actually the closest entry to creation and very likely the impetus for establishing the shared timeline despite it's cancellation.
I hear both transphobes and normal folk talking about Testosterone as a performance enhancing drug and Estrogen as performance decreasing drug, and that's dude centric and not true. T and E are both performance enhancing drugs for sports. They just enhance different aspects. Let's talk powerlifting
It took so long between the Olympics allowing trans women to compete and one competing that there are cis women who were born and won medals in between. One qualification in 18 years doesn't match transphobes claim of trans women replacing cis women, which is why they pretend the rules are new.
I feel like the point where someone starts a podcast to repeatedly platform known white supremacists they're a bit beyond "center right."
I mean "he" has also had a hard turn into being a transphobic weirdo, with a book centered around a common transphobic trope and another about how criticizing a billionaire writer who lives in a Scottish castle is basically the same as wanting her dead.
Israel's lobbyists also spent a bunch of money backing Apartheid era South Africa because they were afraid if apartheid fell they'd be next. But you know, you can't call them an apartheid state despite the fact they identified with and supported apartheid because that's antisemitic.
Baffling that an award would burn their reputation for a guy who wrote a revisionist story about the Holocaust to absolve Germans of their complicity. A man who got into a fight with a Holocaust museum because of how wrong he was and is now doing the same shit for a different group.
Palestine exists in a superposition of occupied territory and country and that when observed it always collapses down to "whatever is convenient for Israel right now." Clearly defined acts of war like blockades and mass surveillance? Occupied territory. Exercise their right to resistance? Country.
I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

AI weirdos looking at rich people having their assistants write a birthday card to their kids and being like "why is it okay for them to do it?" It's not! That's also an indicator that you've let something terrible hollow you out and leave you lesser.
Greenblatt personally endorsed Elon Musk even after he unbanned all the Neo Nazis on twitter and retweeted a bunch of stuff from his favorite Neo Nazis, and banned anti-fascists at the Neo Nazi's request. He said he'd consider banning the word "Decolonization" and that was enough for the ADL.
Good job, you made the nerds who love spotting z-fighting cry. I hope you're happy. They're never going to recover from this.
See, that proves he is no partisan because that is one of two things establishment Dems and Republicans can agree on right now! The other of course is attacking Zohran.
Much like how the solution to gun violence is not to push guns harder and just hope when things go awry we'll be saved by a "good guy with a gun," the solution to capitalist corruption is not to wish and pray that we might find the mythical "good guy with a billion dollars."
Given his response was to ban the trans woman who pointed it out rather than try to explain himself, that definitely wasn't the case. His job has two major parts: identify problems and don't wield moderation powers like a petty vindictive child and he clearly failed at least one of those.
Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.
You're so tuned in to Tesla's wavelength, no wonder you're the foremost expert on care and cleaning techniques for Cybertrucks.
Dersh also made a point of intentionally and repeatedly misgendering the vendor, to the point even the cops told him to knock it off. If you force them to drop their ban on his "political views" they're just going to ban him for his direct and clearly intentional harassment.
If someone wanted to do something shitty and then deflect all criticism with a smug sense of superiority, sure they'd make an immediate and insincere apology. How have you responded to criticism? Oh right, deflecting with a smug sense of superiority.
Didn't read the username that clearly stated pronouns or even the post you quoted which said "people you presume to be women." But sure if we ignore all the surrounding context this could be read as an innocuous mistake.
If they're anything like any of the other sites that removed references to transphobia from their hate speech rules, they weren't enforcing those rules to begin with. So the rules haven't changed. You were allowed to harass trans people before and now the text matches the actual rule.
Honestly the hornyness is a distant second to the much bigger issue of "the guy who is supposed to deal with porn phishing scams is falling for porn phishing scams." Almost like Bluesky only keeps him around because they know he won't ban high profile transphobes.
His DC Hotel where he is both self-dealing because it's his signature on both sides of the contract, and where foreign governments were renting out rooms en-masse, often double booking rooms just to curry favour.
This is a big one. His golf trips are on track to cost the US government $100million this year alone. Golf cart rentals alone are greater than the Presidential salary, and of course he has rejected proposals for the Secret Service to just buy their own carts which would be significantly cheaper.
It isn't great that I played through Halo 4 three years back and still couldn't figure out what game this was until I saw 343i. I admittedly don't have a great memory for Halo stories but *usually* I can at least remember main characters. Halo 4 just comes up "????" despite being much more recent.
Reminds me of my Aunt talking about how Pakistani and Indians are "taking over" her city and they're "everywhere now" because they went from 8% when she moved there ~25 years ago to an astounding 11%.
The fact that a Democratic consultant is shooting the shit with a Tea Party Republican kinda gives away the game.
It's an Ivy League school so the known predators definitely won't have paid their time back to society. If they're punished at all, they get a judge who is afraid of "destroying their future over a single mistake" and spend 3 months in prison tops.
Democratic Party Consultant and his Tea Party Republican friend trying to work out what went wrong with the Democratic party:
The only "Diversity" the Democratic party is interested in is the "we're welcoming to homophobes and the gays!" They're only interested in supporting marginalized people when it's easy, when we've done all the work and the fight is won so they can swoop in and take credit after roadblocking us.
