deeply unserious country
I don’t do a lot of custom toy work these days- but I’m really proud of this life sized Rob Anybody. His sword is hand forged from a steel nail. Nae Kings. Nae Gods. Nae Masters. #gnuterrypratchett #nacmacfeegle #weefreemen #witches #customtoys #Scotland #hopecore #faerie #crivens #booksky
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
You’ve got to wonder if the National Guard troops from southern states knew they were going to actually be conscripted into the Neo Confederate Army. I’m assuming they didn’t. Because it’s insane.
"Do we really want to live in a country where troop presences substitute for actual governance, and civic problems are met with military deployments?"

It's so weird how Greenwald and Nate Silver and the like—who aren't even here—keep insisting that Bluesky is pro-DNC, when I've yet to see anyone here ever say anything nice about the DNC at all. Also, evaporating? Lol. Bluesky now sends WAY more traffic to @techdirt.com than Twitter *ever* did.
There are absolutely moments where you suck it up and vote against monstrous candidates by voting for candidates who suck less. That moment is not 3.5 years and an entire mid-term away from an election where there will definitely be a huge primary.
Every person, without exception, who claims they voted for King asshole “because of the economy” is lying. All of them. Not a single person voted for that criminal asswipe because of the economy. They voted for him because they wanted team white man to win and be in charge. That’s it.
important to realize that Greenwald explicitly wants to kill any site that isn't controlled by oligarchs and tyrants because his project requires trapping people in a propaganda-supported alternate reality
if you are a 40 year old man complaining about being “bullied” on a social media platform, I have great news for you: you are allowed to log off
“my morality and values are entirely a reflection of who is nice to me. also trump is a dictator who demands people be nice to him.”

Labour going hard right to try and beat Reform is half the story. The other half is that Labour is under the control of right-wingers with right-wing politics who want Labour to be *the* centre-right party and believe they can achieve this because they’re the smartest guys in the room.
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
Looks like we’re getting a second season of “The Residence” whether Netflix wants one or not.
Which party is the opposite of this fucking guy? Green or Lib dem? Definitely not the Torys or reform Waaay too much in common
I don't know why it makes it worse, but this is such an obvious lie.
Remember, when Sam Altman says shit like "future iterations of GPT will require fusion power" or "we will need to build data centers on the moon" he's not revealing an ambitious roadmap. He's doing marketing. Putting "OpenAI" and "moon base" in the same sentence is the only goal.
Sex matters is like AIPAC for transphobes
If you think there's a giant conspiracy amongst the UK government, the media, and a small, extremely well-funded genitally-obsessed bigots to harass and dehumanize trans people, that's because there is.
As a fellow em dash addict- I feel you But for real I actually do feel- because I’m a person and not an LLM and I have to tell you if you ask because that’s the law
Misogynists hate women with agency Most men (idk by what % but more than half) and some women don’t really want ANY women making ANY decisions- especially decisions that aren’t geared towards explicitly pleasing men They want total control So be more free out of spite Kill the manosphere in you
Did they say no AI because damn that shit is necessary at this point

the thing about Zohran is he is really fucking good at politics and everyone on the Dem side behaving like he’s a liability has lost their minds I don’t care how you define It, he has It
Every resident of Maine showed up for the guy running to unseat Susan Collins
What pisses me off about Nate Silver and other reactionary centrists is that it is possible to face endless torrents of scorn online without abandoning liberal principles. At a certain point, you have to choose to be an adult. It's either that or curdle into a hateful moron.
"President Trump owes us answers about his health": weak, frames him as good-faith statesman, boring "What did JD Vance know about Trump's health and when did he know it?": interesting, carries implication Trump's health is fucked up as a given, implies scandal spreading throughout admin
In case you are wondering what is going on today at WaPo and Democracy Docket.
What Phillipson is about to do is the most heinous thing I've ever seen a UK government do to its own people. Literally cancelling human rights that should be beyond her reach, and barring a demographic from participation in society. And she's doing it virtually unchallenged. It's happening.

WHITE HOUSE AIDE: we need a distraction from the president being dead OTHER WHITE HOUSE AIDE: let’s kill Rudy
the thing that was terrifying to them about FDR wasn't so much the policies themselves (which were, of course, far short of socialism or communism) but that they were incredibly popular and lead to electoral dominance until FDR's death (and even somewhat after)
the judge is now basically checking every couple of hours to make sure her directions are being followed to the letter because she is dealing with lying liars who lie astounding how much credibility the government has burned with the courts

I will not vote for transphobes🫡how someone treats the most vulnerable of humans is very telling to the kind of person they are. If they can be cruel to those only looking to be recognized as a human being, they can easily throw others to the leopards when it suits them.
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
How the libertarian project in Argentina is going under Javier Milei, with him being pelted by rocks and vegetables by the public after his government was implicated in a bribery scandal.
I hate doing, "Why is no one covering this!?" but it is truly bizarre that Trump basically being kept out of public for 4 days now has merited a couple of articles and a few live feed updates from Maggie Haberman.

Are there any fall ren-fairs in the PNW?
Every time you feel tempted to tell people they owe Gavin fucking Newsom anything, consider writing him a letter telling him what he owes trans people, poor unhoused people, people in debt from high tuition at UC and CSU, and so on. Ask him how he will deliver for them.
Public toilets and changing rooms are not "safe spaces" There is no such thing as a "safe space" for women in public The idea anything like that exists is a fabrication
Other people who are clearly interested in running: — Pritzker — Beshear — Walz — AOC — Whitmer
WTF are all you commie libs talking about? He looks great!!
"I have rendered you as a fat screaming person with coloured hair and myself as a calm handsome person. I win"

In roundabout ways, every David Lynch project was asking this question 💙
Not to be pedantic but I don’t even think it was 4- I’m pretty sure it’s 2 unless I missed something
“Fascism-lite” isn’t a strategy to defeat fascism but it’s very effective in normalising it.
I’m convinced Newsom was instructed to be as brash as possible by the old guard at the DNC (while simultaneously governing from a deeply centrist/center right/ policy position) because they saw AOC becoming too popular and they needed to force the media onto another more controllable point of focus
If Your Party needs an army of cishet white men running around shouting at marginalised folk telling them to stop speaking about our rights, Your Party is just another manosphere gaslighting about being progressive.
Y’all should save these threads for 2028 in the scenario where Newsom wins the primary Because right now you’re just damaging your relationships with folks by speaking out against democratic debate
The Minnesota shooter this week originally planned to shoot up a music venue that primarily catered to trans folks but they were worried that trans folks might b be carrying guns and wouldn't be an easy target.
Proud to say that I have single-handedly impeded Newsom by pointing out that the primary is three years away, there are other candidates, and in a democratic process, we debate candidates 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
Liberals getting excited about Gavin Newsome feels like a person who keeps settling for shitty boyfriends. Like girl, you can do better for yourself - stop thinking you can’t do better. There is a guy out there for you. Look, your bestie New York City found a great guy and she’s had so many bad exs.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner has suggested an effective playbook— We should arrest rogue ICE agents at the state level, which would shield them from a presidential pardon. This is the kind of hardline approach we need from our Democratic leaders.
Agreeing with the Nazis isn’t a sign of strength
It’s not the least problems for fucking trans people Who are people- being currently targeted by fascists and who were already experiencing a ton of bullshit before this. Who do you want to throw under the bus next? Fuck me that’s some seriously callous small minded shit
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
This is why trans people feel like Newsoms enabling of anti trans rhetoric centered on sports was damning. It’s 100%a right wing grift engineered to cause the left to concede on trans rights. His immediate swing to also ban transitional care before 25 is also a no. www.them.us/story/riley-...

Hostility towards LGBT+ folks is the worst I’ve known it to be since I came out at sixteen in 1990.
Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.
A Texas Republican lawmaker who last week blocked Democrats’ effort to filibuster the state’s gerrymander made disturbing comments at a 2022 legislative hearing — suggesting a way to deal with immigrants might be: “shoot, shovel and shut up.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
“Do you guys feel bad about what you’re doing? Don’t you f*cking hate yourselves?”
People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.
Today’s news stories all add up to a major take away: there are vulnerable GOP senators (and gerrymandering won’t save them) 🙌🏽
As a Californian, it is so embarrassing that Pritzker and Walz are leading with strong, substantive statements based on their actual principles, and we have governor hairgel meme coin.
Nothing to see here, just a totally normally shaped electoral district.
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
