I think you have to start with teaching children. "You should be curious about the world" is preschool shit, but conservatives have been working for decades to strip that out of any curriculum.
see i feel like "magic is math" and "magic is mysterious plot device" are are two completely different genres more than anything it's weird when people try to act like one is "better" than the other when they're going for completely separate things
The correct answer to a citizen of Klansville, Alabama saying they feel like the country is leaving them behind is âgood.â
rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides
It's basic math, husky man is more man per man. That's a better deal.
oh you believe in howitzers? i believe in faceless women telekinetically lobbing bombs a hundred miles
Seeing threads about "but what does masculinity MEAN? How to be a Man in These Times?" and realizing I can just say "fuck if I know, never had any idea" and move on is just delightful. Much love to my fellas still hammering it out though. We're counting on you
"oh nothing matters because mr. trump won't let it matter" shut up
Idk maybe the males are into it?
Causing even one trans girl to have to one day get electrolysis because you denied her access to puberty blockers/hrt should be enough to condemn you to hell
Are Americaâs centers of gravity in 2028 large liberal cities in blue states, or sprawling republican ruled suburbs? Build or die.
âConsequences for my own actions are an infringement on my rightsâ is a load bearing part of the platform at this point
my objection to AI and LLMs, such as it is, has far less to do with the actual technology and far more to do with the utterly ratshit ethics of the majority of AI corporate executives
I love the "Mom, can we keep him??" panel right before this.
Imagine seeing your first man at age like 22 and then him turning out to have the physique of a Greek demigod
Girl, I know this look... I'd say just take the martian estrogen but you're literally a shapeshifter.
What do you mean in addition to kissing Aquaman, J'onn J'onzz took a fem form and gay married an intersex frog woman.
Happy birthday to Jack Kirby.
Again: Faith leaders *themselves* have long also criticized "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric â including leader's Leavitt's own Catholic tradition. Here are some examples from the past 24 hours, including a statement from Sisters of Mercy of the Americas (Catholic nuns) on the shooting.
Extremely proud to have a mayor who will take a second to defend innocent trans people even in this awful moment. A powerful contrast with the many moderate Democrats who abandoned trans people simply because they lost an election. Don't let the gun nuts scapegoat any minority; it's the guns.
The thing is that Absolute Martian Manhunter absolutely is mentally ill and also the martians are actually real and occupying his head
Tonight was the first back to school night of my kidâs middle school tenure Iâm dumbstruck by how competent , professional, and truly caring every one of her 6 teachers seems. So many LGBTQ+ flags in the classrooms! So many encouraging and supportive programs. Public school can be so amazing â¤ď¸
INNOCENT
No debates. One side wants to restrict human rights. The future will judge them like eugenists and bigots. I wish the future were today.
one thing i've taken away from surveys asking the public to evaluate trump's most authoritarian moves is that the ordinary americans have a much clearer sense of what's happening than most professional political observers
liberal meemaws rolling out the polls in r+20 districts
Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.
There's been no good Star Trek in a while and DnD has gotten way gayer.
Which is why liberal political parties must unite across borders if they want to win in the end.
if you are a cis person with questions about trans people, feel free to ask here and i will try to answer (and likely a lot of others will too) safe harbor for awkward, weird, misguided, and inappropriate questions (these are fun to answer!) not a safe harbor for bad faith arguing
Immigration is the central issue of our century and progressives must defend it or lose absolutely everything to fascism
I think we need Superman most when itâs hard to be a good person. Heâs ultimately not great because itâs easy for him to be kind, and ethical, and relentless about both. Heâs great because itâs so easy not to be. Heâs an embodiment of a choice to do the harder, kinder thing.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape peopleâs reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
I mean, look, the guy defied a fledgling dictator to protest his claim that he can override the Constitution via executive fiat, knowing it risked making him a political prisoner. If that is considered un-American, then the flag deserved to be burned.
You know I never really thought of it like that but yeah, comics are wrestling.
California should have 3 Hong Kongs and I am not kidding.
Living in a blue city in a blue state, I keep trying to evangelize to the normies that if you actually care about human rights and freedom the only possible stance is âbuild more housing here right fucking nowâ
"build more housing" is the single most important thing we can do to combat a further rightward drift of the electorate what do you think is going to happen as climate migration accelerates
It also doesn't seem to grapple with just how many trans people have a pretty different sense of their own sexuality post-transition? One of my closest friends is more or less a lesbian now after living as a gay man before. I'm mostly into men now despite thinking I was "straight" as a man.
I maintain that the democrats' biggest shortcoming is their continued belief in the myth of the rational voter.
the Achilles' Heel to a lot of "Dems should moderate on trans stuff to win back median voters" takes is the fact that Joe Biden said on live TV that there are at least three genders and voters consider him more moderate on social issues than Obama or in my own previous words:
I can't believe he basically got people to Pokemon Go To The Polls.
Itâs good to signal virtue, actually. It encourages others to do the same in support of people with less power. Also, the alternative is signaling vice.
These signs have become so common I had started tuning them out but seeing it displayed in our NC public elementary school felt truly heartening this year. Be corny, be brave, put up the signs!
we wonder why these people who have all the money in the world prioritize accumulating more money over anything else, but Trump shows that they don't, not really the money is a means to control others, and if there is a conflict between the two they will pick control every time
Like, I see so much talk about how the dems need to get better at messaging (true!) and the media likes republicans and wants them to win (true!), but we always seem to stop short of discussing how those two are intertwined.
I think the role of the media ecosystem gets left out of this conversation too. The extreme caution of the democratic party is informed at least in part by a journalistic culture which will rip them to shreds for the slightest perceived transgression (while excusing the same from the GOP).
If the recommendation to Democrats was to speak plainly, casually, like a normal person having a real conversation rather than like a politician stumbling through jargon, theyâd be gushing about Mamdani and telling Dems to be more like him. But theyâre not, because they really mean something else.
...fuck.
I truly believe that we can, and *must*, make woke 2 a reality.
Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)
Hmm... But don't you think some of Trump 2's appeal is also that same nostalgia?
Meanwhile the sitting vice president talks about âCultural Marxismâ and âthe Cathedralâ and uses esoteric White Power jargon all the time but his language is not a liability
conservatives every time something affects them directly
if jd vance calls you a fucking out of touch elitist for saying "lgbtq" then the correct response is not "yes sir i'll say faggot next time" it's to call him a fancy ass yale motherfucker and say you'll use whatever words you want
the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time. it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.
This is just straight up totalitarian. This demand that nobody ever say anything potentially alienating to Midwestern apes lest the fascist right might turn it into a political issue, is without realizing, the same thing the fascists are. A complete submission of civil society to the partisan agenda
a first step to organizing people to do anything right now is just bringing people together for anythingâto vent. to eat together. to make art. to remind people we have each other. to ask what we can do together. to keep the despair at bay.
Institution after institution, created, constructed, designed, funded, maintained, for generations for this exact moment and the cowards at the top, all of whom know damn well what they've got on their hands, did nothing and hoped someone else would bell the cat.
Well, heaven fucking forbid women have hobbies.
In case this matters, I would like anyone who did this or anyone considering doing similar to know that this repainting meant a lot to my gay teenager.
Something thatâs weirdly haunting to me is that I canât stop thinking about whether how many people pre-Trump were knowingly lying about their principles versus those who genuinely thought they believed in them and to their great surprise, discovered they did not care *that* much.
The first six Absolute Martian Manhunter covers
whenever someone gets weird about modern medicine i think they should be shown the graph of childhood mortality rates throughout human history. until the last century or two, we buried every other child before they turned 15! that is the "natural" state of affairs!
In a sense, the first season success of âSurvivorâ lead us down our current cultural path. Now everyone is their own reality TV star instantaneously via social media, and the line between material reality and the simulacrum is so blurred that it doesnât matter
every demographic that moved in favor of Trump and now thermostatically reversed:
Woke 2 is here and I refuse to vote for someone who doesnât say Latinx. Sorry, losers
Can we reflect on how elected Democrats haven't said "latinx" since 2021 and yet I still see two articles a week telling them to stop? The evidence doesn't indicate that Dems using SJW jargon is a real problem â it's something the far right says to justify their actions.
âItâs safe to elect Trump because the guardrails we voted to remove will keep him from removing the guardrails we removed.â -the average American actually thought this
The Absolute line has been so good all around but it's hard to believe Martian Manhunter of all characters gets to have a run THIS cool.
I am unfathomably excited for this.
They dont understand, they have control of the cathedral but the gay keeps happening
If we want Fed Science agency we can just make it! The welfare state was largely spun up over a few years then had a bunch of shit bolted on later
anyways. this is why rolling dice is amazing. the world surprises you. shakes you out of your tropes and preconceptions and preconceived narratives. injects something new and weird into your storytelling.
I spent the 2010's arguing with my white colleagues that we were facing a crisis in newsroom diversity. The smart, dedicated, talented cis white journalists I thought of as my friends didn't want to hear it. Most of them ignored me. At least one of them told me to go to hell.
Well, you have other things you care about besides being mad. I don't think these guys have a meaningful life outside of constant outrage.
On one hand, libs getting biscuits and gravy in the national divorce is a pleasant surprise but on the other hand, Jesus Christ, donât these goons ever get tired?
and tbh, even THIS might be too restrictive
The only barrier there should be to becoming an American citizen is telling the government youâd like to be one.
America should build at least 15,000,000 new apartments in the Boston, New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, and Seattle metro areas over the next decade.
i don't know who needs to hear this but if you know you're trans and the dysphoria grates you like sandpaper there is medication that will help and you can just start what have you got to lose? what if you would be happier? you deserve to know.
[me, agnostic atheist with catholic characteristics whos v pro social]: i hope satan is real and he tosses some more logs on that fire
Child abuse aficionado James Dobson dead at the tragically advanced age of 89.
I would have agreed with this a few years ago. However, we're at a moment where liberalism is no longer the "background consensus" of American politics â one party has fully abandoned it. That means liberals need to *act* like an ideological movement aimed at winning power bsky.app/profile/diff...
A stunning violation of the privacy of children and their parents by a confessed serial sexual predator, adjudicated rapist and convicted criminal. Truly disgusting. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/u...
even if you think you have to stick to âkitchen table issuesâ, âhe is joining the war on cancer on the side of cancerâ is the biggest and most obvious kitchen table issue imaginable and that is quite literally what heâs doing take the wide open layup
The Unusual Lifestyle Flowchart: Are you rich and white? Yes -> Serious profile in the Atlantic No -> Mocking reality TV docuseries
tbh, MOST arguments on here seem to come from that kind of linguistic context collapse
Some people are simply too embarrassed to admit they are addicted to an app. Which is fine but maybe don't pick the nazi one and defend it to the death.
guys Iâm off this week ⌠went to the norman rockwell museum. found the meme in real life â and his jacket
It was just 4 years ago that this country cut the child poverty rate almost in half. Then we just....stopped www.census.gov/library/stor...
why do I have to do word problems on my appliance replacement
very funny at LibCon2025, where kristol was moderating the panel on immigration, and then he just ignored the Q+A time to rip on the dumbass brit advocating "moderate immigration" Woke Kristol: "I just think people have presumptive freedom of movement. What's wrong with that"
One of my beliefs is that every school should have a working farm attached so kids can learn that farming sucks and is really hard
One thing we have going for us is "prices are controlled by the president" is the median voter's default belief already. It just so happens to be meaningfully correct for once.
I have a nominally-liberal acquaintance who told me that her father acknowledged that it âwould be tough to get the guy out of officeâ if he won and then voted for him anyway. This was presented to me as a sign of Dem messaging failures rather than a catastrophic absence of civic virtue.
