Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.â

if the media could go ahead and treat this claim the way they treat Biden saying "I'm fine" - aka, as a lie that requires days on end of front page stories to debunk - that would be great we'll be over here waiting

We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 âMandate for Leadershipâ document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this.

Remember: Texas is not a red state. Texas is a massively voter-suppressed state, with a lot of people working very hard and very thanklessly to fix that.

Googleâs emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoftâs are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

The one that hurts most for me is the etched wineglass I made in an art class. Itâs shattered now. I found the same type of glass & bought one intending to make a replacement, I still have the original drawing I made the stencil from. But I havenât been able to actually bring myself to do it yet.

Can confirm, having worked at one of such places in the past. (Initially, I needed any job that would take me. It was 2009, probably enough said. Then I stayed because I really enjoyed bartending overall.) Absolute shithole. Not very Irish. Still tried for the theme juuust enough.

Iâd like to high five that guy. I had the same idea back when I was bartending, except it was just one kamikaze dropped in a Manhattan. Two makes it even better as a concept (probably still awful as a drink).

The latter scenario is what I see the OP cautioning against falling victim to. A positive or maybe mildly awkward but overall fine interaction getting blown up into something it never really was, by people who have an agenda and malice in their hearts.

Thatâs not what theyâre saying at all. Theyâre saying âassume the person asking for anecdotes wants dirt to use against him, and choose your response accordinglyâ. Positive interactions can be spun badly if the original teller of the tale misspeaks slightly and someone has malice to enact.

the allegations about Gaiman are being weaponized by terfs. Which is still a bad thing to do about true accusations. They are trying to associate David Tennant with that because heâs worked with Gaiman. Thatâs what the OP is about.

Trans healthcare access has a long way to go to be fully âgoodâ but it is clearly and unequivocally better under Biden than under Trump. Yes, even with that recent dumb shit about transition access for minors.

Currently, access to coverage for healthcare that would be covered for a cis patient is protected. But thatâs only executive-order and could be undone just as easily. Do I hate that itâs not full law? YES. Is it still a clear way the two parties are different? ALSO YES.

Eir health issues in 2019 were not trans related at all. But insurance insisted it was and denied coverage, and that was legal until Biden reversed the trump rule allowing that discrimination.
