I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.

People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.

Every time somebody says that stupid “purity test” thing about Newsom, I ask if we can have it be their life we throw away instead of trans kids and the unhoused and somehow none of the people who complain have decided that they should be sacrificed instead? Strange. Suddenly we’re picky.

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.

A lot of the discourse about Newsom comes down to people finding ways to say “I just think trans people aren’t as important as my other concerns” but saying it in the most cowardly way because they know how dick they would sound it they said it directly But we all know what you are, transphobes

To be clear: this is yet another reason why many of these laws are so problematic. If people want to run fediverse instances of any size, the fact that costly age verification requirements could put them in legal jeopardy, is very bad. Regulators make laws as if every website is Facebook.

I remember when the Columbine massacre happened and very serious media and political figures deliberately hid the fact that the shooters were neo-Nazis and claimed that they did it because they were bullied (they weren’t) and that they wore black clothes. Just thought I’d mention that
Max Kennerly (@maxkennerly.bsky.social) reposted
Ah, yes, for all you young people: there was a relentless effort to manufacture a consensus that Columbine was caused by Goth culture, industrial music, and videogames. The neo-Nazism was buried, and anyone who pointed to easy access to guns was denounced as a liberty-hating tyrant.
