Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men “'They think written words are even more powerful,’ whispered the toad. ‘They think all writing is magic. Words worry them. See their swords? They glow blue in the presence of lawyers.'”

I know TERFs come from everywhere, but it’s such boomer fuckery, the whole “I suffered, you suffer too” instead of trying to make it better for everyone.

Shitbag little boys were once soft little babies someone imposed toxic masculinity traits on IMMEDIATELY! Like I’m not here to defend the men, but I can’t tell you how terrifying it was to hold my infant son and imagine his sweetness snuffed out by the same patriarchy that grinds us all into dust.

If you think "working class" is white male auto workers who live in the suburbs, and not multiracial Starbucks baristas, Amazon warehouse workers, and Wal-Mart greeters of all genders, you are perpetuating a revanchist racist myth, the reality of which died with Reagan.

Gonna keep banging this drum- it was always on the cards after he came out as the most pro labour president of the 21st century, and probably my lifetime. Of course the corporate shill wing of the party want him gone and of course the leftmost part of it recognise how good he's been for their causes

It is VERY striking. And disheartening in the extreme. It’s hard for me to have faith in a system that lets people who act like that with impunity make life and death judgments.

The press using the white house visitor logs to write up (apparently false) attacks on Biden after Biden published visitor logs and Trump didn't: good illustration of the reward for upstanding and ethical behavior in the current media environment.

The official 2024 GOP platform makes a reference to "Christian-hating Communists" who the Republicans will keep from entering the country. Back in the early days of the America First movement, "Christian-hating Communists" would have just been a longer way of saying "Jews."

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

Is there any lesson to be taken from the French moderate liberal and left earnestly trying to cooperate and help one another defeat a reactionary threat to democracy? Yes there is, until anyone one degree off from my personal political leanings pisses me off over anything, and I mean anything.

I don’t know writer/journalist Annabel Ross personally, but what she had to say about the Gaiman situation covers a fair bit of what I think so far… now I’ll go back to trying to find an emoji that conveys “goddammit I’m so fucking furious & sad & exhausted”

Agreed with what’s been said. A lot of it is just a skills issue. You’re not being a butt because you are doing something they can’t. There’s a lot of situations where other adults do things I can’t for very good reasons. As long as you aren’t teasing or lording it over them, you’re good.

Just to be clear, this is Silicon Valley VC bro/Musk acolyte David Sacks coming down on the side of the Le Pen family, whose patriarch called Nazi gas chambers a "minor detail" of history and whose ex-wife alleged he nicknamed Hitler "Uncle Dolfie" while snarling "The Jews are invading France."

A hill I will die on: all white-collar crimes are violent crimes. It's just that the violence is removed from the perpetrator because the perpetrator is wealthy.

This 💯 Where were all these dems with their concerns about his age and acuity before primary season? Also, you know if the roles were reversed every republican would be in lockstep talking about “everyone has an off night” and changing the subject reading off the same script So frustrating
