These attempts at maintaining their "both sides" facade are veering into "Would fail a high school English test" territory

These guys are just projecting decade-old tumblr stereotypes onto bluesky in the hopes that people will be discouraged from coming here
Saw John Carpenter's Vampires on pluto last night and throughout that movie I was thinking of Bayformers Optimus with that shared energy of "this director doesn't seem to realize quite how reprehensible their main characters are"
Young Animal is a magazine isn't it? This spread would be fine in that format, but idk what the plan would've been for a hardcover. Assuming this is Studio Gaga and not Miura himself.
Would be cool af and accurate if it were the Defiant tho
I called this segregationist way back in February: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
We've spent years talking about what an opportunist shitheel Gavin is, even on the opposite coast, but these boomers that showed up here last November won't get a clue
Tangential but it’s notable that when California does things it gets reported as “Newsom” and when Illinois does things it gets reported as “Illinois”
Yeah when I graduated, the typical response to getting your phone confiscated was to git gud at hiding your texting like every other kid

Why are you giving corporations free money? Use an adblock
Obsessed with images of a giant promotional statue of King Kong that accidentally caught fire
It's just a more explicit version of the same implied playbook all republicans use. Since nobody talks about crime once they're in office, people assume something changed. This is why people on here saying "Dems shouldn't talk about the crime rates" need to stop before some fool takes that advice
Eckse-cute Eckse-cute-ihve? Lots of emphasis on the U's of course
Wait, we don't pronounce it the same way? I'm Appalachian and I've never been corrected on it
Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss
Some Obama voting 30-50 demographic didn't wise up and get off facebook, probably didn't vote in 2020, and have spent a decade marinating in propaganda and are essentially republicans now. We can't undo that because they're not going to admit they made bad life choices during their midlife crisis
Also: if you yield to these attacks and adopt right wing positions they just pretend you have left wing positions anyway! It’s literally pointless! They just make shit up you can’t outflank that you just have to punch them in the face and keep doing it until they stop twitching.
Can't believe this isn't getting a theatrical release
Have you seen Borat 2?
No idea, I haven't watched the Penguin show on HBO yet
It's an attempt to explain the woman who definitely wasn't also in the car who was not his wife
They had to explain the injured woman who was not his wife
Lmaooo
Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it
They're going to show crime graphs for every city he does this to, omitting that it's been a downward trend since nineteen-fucking-ninety
This is why the "simplified" way we teach history in public schools was a terrible move
The authenticity fad, which also helped establish the first Japanese American film stars, lasted from about the late 1900s to the mid-1910s. With the rise of the studio system, film companies became more interested in pushing white actors in Indigenous and Asian roles.
Lillian St. Cyr, who acted under the name of Princess Red Wing, was born on the Winnebago Reservation and found movie stardom during the all-too-brief fad for Indigenous authenticity in American film. Here she is saving the hero in THE DAYS OF THE THUNDERING HERD.
"The different cardinal truths neither clash nor mesh. No one is invalidated, but nobody is right." - MGS2, 2001
Funny how from the beginning, every reply from an AI has been to normalize just what fascists require to manipulate people into compliance. "Constructively" despite it being entirely destructive. bsky.app/profile/hype...
Sounds like a "normalize anything no matter how fucked up" platform
The notion feels like the bad advice Dems in Congress are getting from consultants these days. Not contradicting their narrative *concedes* the argument. We've seen this with the spread of transphobia.
No offense but I think your instincts on this are very wrong, yes it's a dog whistle but have you talked to many rural low-information voters IRL? They're legit afraid to drive to any city. Informing people about Sinclair and the propaganda aspects of local news crime coverage is a good thing.
More cities should be trying 2 year pilots exploring different ways to use their public spaces.
We have actual transcripts of right wing donors and political strategists choosing transphobia as their next rallying cry after the US gay marriage ruling. Propaganda tends to spread to anywhere on earth that shares the language, and I'm sure the UK has found it just as politically useful
"Gender ideology" is an insane way to put it, something that makes supposedly centrist politicians and news outlets in the UK sound like american neo-nazis
Make sure you play Mage in Planescape, you lose like half the good dialogue on the game without high INT
It's 2025, dipshit
btw the reason I share this periodically is bc people genuinely don't know. even in discussion of aktion t4 a lot of folks think it's just physical + intellectual disability that was targeted. there is rarely any mention of mental illness even though it was 2/8 major conditions targeted by Nazis
Lawmakers in California killed an anti-AI price manipulation bill, and "a bill that aimed to protect electric utility customers from bearing higher costs associated with data center proliferation" that "required data centers to publicly disclose how much energy they use," per @khari.bsky.social:
I pronounced epitome like Eepee-tohm until my mid-20s
former kids who read too many books and didnt know how to pronounce the words you learned gang say hey
I got spoiled on GQuux by someone new every week. Mecha community on here is too enthusiastic to be considerate sometimes
Nothing happens when I try this on mobile, about:config just makes the browser hang on a black screen

The evils of Vote Blue No Matter Who. Schumer doesn't think someone will be able to run against him. If he gets primaried he thinks the DNC will destroy any challenger. In the general nobody in New York will vote for a Republican. He is accountable to nobody and acts like it. That's caused by VBNMW
Why would I be on Newsome's side when he's not on my side? Why would I support someone who wants us dead the moment we can't afford rent?
If you are wondering what happened in Indonesia yesterday, this is the whole summary. I don't care if you dislike politics, but it's about humanity. It would be greatly appreciated if my English speaker friends here try to educate themselves and share this as a form of spreading more awareness.
It’s very wild to run a “charter schools tried to help but they just weren’t meant for higher education” story around Katrina’s anniversary. These are ghoulish people.
Good morning~☀️🫠今日のらくがきで〜す
A genre that's scarce even in the indie scene, for some reason
Ron Paul is doing Jazz Hands RIGHT NOW
Imagine Berserk and The Princess Bride as equal-yet-opposites destroying each other, minting something new in the explosion, and I think you’d get Albert Pyun’s The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982). A gross ‘n gory dark fantasy comedy of errors, B-movie ambition and horny dreck rich as mulled wine.
Miura was really into these kinds of movies and based on that first image there's no way he hadn't seen this one
Look, you can go ahead and stick your head back in the sand when this one guy goes away if you want to. The rest of us will spend our time fighting against the fascism that's been building in this country ever since FDR died. Conservatism is merely the polite facade of authoritarianism
*gently to my cat*: you cant be a little fucker. You have to be good. No more being a little fucker. *My cat, purring*: the Being a Fucker hour draws near
I keep saying this, but... ...punishing the homeless is how big-city and blue state liberals do fascism.
This painting is classic Lost Cause revisionism; it was commissioned after Truman ordered desegregation of the military. Army Secretary Gordon Gray was a nepobaby (daddy was chair of RJ Reynolds) who led the dubious "Gray Board" that yanked Oppenheimer's clearance. Real piece of work all around.
There's a reason Pondsmith uses the phrase "style over substance" in the Cyberpunk 2020 rulebook, but without the context of the setting being a pastiche, it creates an unintended effect for the video game, especially for people unfamiliar with cyberpunk as more than an aesthetic
Uh yeah, the abundance ideology is a Trojan horse for wealthy conservatives to sabotage any leftward political momentum created by the eventual fall of the current regime.
I’m on a ridiculous repeating academic loop on this, but the archaic US system of sheriffs is truly one of the foundational weaknesses of the modern American policing system.
It will never not amaze me that literal millions of all sorts of Americans hit the streets all at once to say FUCK THESE GUYS as loudly as we could and the national Dem response was, "Alright, everybody, calm down." I got a compliment from a stranger on a No Kings shirt I was wearing *yesterday*.
The biggest edge official has over third party is that the designers understand that the main gimmick of the product - transforming - should be fun
Ready for CQC. Drawn for @spectralidax.bsky.social ’s TTRPG Iron Sleet. Go check it out!
From now on, you have been graduated from high school for longer than you were in K-12.
I am begging you dipshits to spend 5 minutes on the chans and understand that you are making a MEANINGLESS distinction. Chicken and the egg ass horseshit. Nazis complain about their shit home lives and bullying 24/7 on /r9k/, how do you think fascists choose their recruiting ground??
And what was the ideology of the OK bomber? Hmm?
It still sucked ten years later, and they probably still get harassed now
That was still happening all the way into the 2010s in red states. I had teachers who would stop me at the door of their classroom to inspect my clothes
Did a big thread about this on Twitter a few years back, about how the Columbine shooters were steeped in nazi rhetoric, including eugenicist beliefs about killing disabled people, and just how much their neo-nazism wasn't just downplayed but omitted. Text from: schoolshooters.info/sites/defaul...
YOU DON'T EVEN LIVE HERE
Agreed.
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

This is why any art honoring confederate trash should be destroyed instead of just "removed", historical value be damned, they only serve as fetish objects for fascists
anon commission of porygon z, thank you so much for your trust 🫶 such a fun piece... and they had amazing suggestions to bring all the details together 🥹 #b3d #art #pokemon
Dynazenon is even better than Gridman, and I loved Gridman. The movie was an anime movie. You'll like it if you tolerate generic anime movies and didn't wait 3 years building anticipation for Crunchyroll to get off their ass and put it on streaming. Has a badass gattai sequence tho
I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

Many activists were scared to protest in an old coal town in Trump country. However, the protest has opened up a community discussion about the Moshannon ICE facility with even former guards coming out to speak about the abuses. paydayreport.com/moshannon-ic...
Will Kim has been in America since he was 5 and is researching a vaccine for Lyme disease.* He's detained indefinitely over a 2011 misdemeanor marijuana possession charge. Outrageous. * Years ago, Lyme gave me a high fever and Bell's palsy right before a TV interview. 0/5 stars, did not enjoy.
Word is out, Gunbuster is leaving the Discotek catalog and likely bound for licensing hell. Still some copies at the MediaOCD Store, so get it while you can! www.mediaocd.com/product-page...
You're absolutely correct that conservatives don't see anything that's a dealbreaker *to them* as political, that poll is junk
I hate rich people so much. Just openly being like "how dare you make me confront my cognitive dissonance!"
There's plenty of better options for an EV you lying fuckwit, and musk had little to do with their adoption. Go the fuck back to twitter
What got us here was people being unwilling to take a pay cut to prevent being an accessory to fascism. In unrelated news, when the fuck are you going to gett off substack, which openly supports authoritarianism?
The NYC subway murderer being invited into the white house right after the inauguration felt like government-sanctioned lynching returning
I am worried that the Russian cultural dynamic of forced mass apathy might become the norm here, because it seems like it's the one and only "stable" regime of this particular type. At least in Hungary massive protests still happen.
It's hard to imagine this is the same country that turned so hard against tobacco companies when they've spent my whole life refusing to push back against anything sillicon valley does. Like imagine if your kid was the first to ever get lung cancer and all you could do is sue phillip-morris
It's crazy how shoujo went from being the best selling genre of manga in the US to basically nonexistent for a long time after tokyopop died
Inferno Cop's justice burns forever
Panty & Stocking is the cartoon of the modern era
It's getting harder and harder to deny that AGI is a near certainty. This kind of rapid expansion, this level of investment and infrastructural shift, this amount of *risk* - it doesn't happen without astronomical reward. The other day I saw a big barn, which can only mean one thing: giant horses
The first trump term was a parade of 1980s punk musicians coming out as trump supporters. It was weird
Okey dokey, the new COVID vaccine restrictions suck, & you can only get one if you have a condition that makes you high risk. Here's the CDC's own list of conditions that meet that definition, and will let you get a shot if you want it. Let's note the most common ones: www.cdc.gov/covid/risk-f...
I'm sure to altman, this is saving money by "outsourcing" the problem
RFK (croaking): We have found the source for American Autism. There was a mix up at the captain crunch factory and it wasn't just donuts that there was Oops! All of Guy at the New York times who was good at homework four decades ago: (concentrating to parse this into something serious)
James Comer and Nancy Mace hate the First Amendment. they hate the Constitution. They hate freedom. Here they are, saying that as clearly as they can.
