you know what the worst part about the creeping nature of murderous, paranoid fascism is? the hypocrisy!
I like coffee, Philly, Pittsburgh, Arabic language, anything on two wheels, music, linux, theology, cats, computers, pacifism, art, unity, equity, etymology, the power of words, and getting high off airplane glue. Will use Adobe Illustrator for food.

Okay I know we’re all pretty deep into the nerdweb here, but let’s not lose the thread of reality here. ABC still pulls close to 5 million individual viewers every night, JUST on broadcast and cable rebroadcast. That ain’t fuckin nothing; TV is still an important and influential medium.
Spez got invited to talk to Congress about radicalism on social media. I bet that has something to do with it. Steve “Bugeyes” Huffman will not turn down an opportunity to help Trump out.
I’m confident they were just looking for a reason after Colbert. Seth Meyers better use his last few weeks before he gets pinched to come up with a contingency plan, cus this is a fucking crackdown.
I expected nothing and yet I’m still let down.
He had blood on his ear, too
As opposed to Israel which considered Palestinians just Arab colonizers and them just the righteous people who is going back to their land so they want them either expulsed to Egypt and other countries or kill them
??? This is literally the official position of the Russian Federation — they consider Ukrainians colonizers who unjustly rebelled and stole Russian land, assets, and production. Putin does not want to assimilate Ukrainians; the intention is total extermination and replacement with ethnic Russians, and always has been.
I am not here to debate which genocide is worse, because plainly, Palestinians are suffering yawning abuses that would make even Mussolini blush. I am just saying that Palestine is not the only active genocide happening in the world right now. Ukraine can fight back; Palestine cannot. That is plainly on a different level. There’s no need to imply I am an idiot just because I pay attention to other stuff happening in parts of the world that don’t report in English.
Same mindset that complains about how ridiculous traffic is from the pilot’s seat of a car, in traffic.
Girl, you are traffic.
Palestine is the only place where there is a war of extemination right now
Listen, I am about as active as any non-Israeli or non-Palestinian can be in anti-genocide discourse, but you’re smoking crack if you think that Russia’s intentions for Ukraine are to simply absorb their government and people. Russians by and by large do not believe Ukrainian culture is a thing, and in fact, have been breaking chunks off from their culture and absorbing it as their own since Moscow was founded by a couple of guys who got lost in the woods.
Russia’s goal is absolute cultural annihilation, and their actions have fit the standard definition of genocide since 2022.
I have long been of the opinion that if you read newspaper headlines like a WWF announcer, it really is indiscernible.
PRO-PALESTINE ACTORS ABSOLUTELY SLAM APARTHEID CLYDE, TAKING A SIXTY FOOT PLUNGE OFF OF HELL IN A CELL AND DIRECTLY ONTO AN ANNOUNCERS’ TABLE!!! BAWGAWD, THAT’S TRUMP’S THEME MUSIC
Boomers and older Gen-Xers seem to truly have no concept of how many school shootings that Millennials and Zoomers have lived through.
The response to those was the same every time, and the words they used were similar to those Kirk himself used — “a little random violence is the price we pay for the freedom to own guns.”
Since Uvalde, I have just been straight with it and just refer to it as the Second Amendment God. The Second Amendment God occasionally gets hungry, and must be fed with blood. That’s what we as Americans want. This has happened a thousand times over in 25 years, and each time, we all cast a silent vote that this is what we want.
The Second Amendment God exists because we want Him to exist.
Sure, but, aren’t we on the Fedi? Or, you mean, this specific cat is posted on bsky?
What’s this about bsky?
It’s a real dumb idea but I’ll be honest, I think all of us should have expected that when Chrome switched to an engine that doesn’t allow for ad blockers.
I’m with the rest of the commenters on other threads — I’ll just switch to PostmarketOS and make Linux work for me. Very little of what I do on a phone really requires “apps.”
“The longer you live, the younger you become” — this bitch has clearly never heard of human leukocyte antigens.
Ah, good thing those are cheap materials, then!
White People: “guns are for everyone! That’s why there is a second amendment. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.”
Black Panthers: "oh ok carries unloaded guns’
White People: “wait actually now there are limits”
Honestly, doing this for would be such a hilarious operational vulnerability that I think it would be like a dinner bell ringing to th international spy community lol.
If they release files with only Republican names blocked out, all it’ll take is a single congressperson to read the full list of names that appear in the documents out loud during a speech and into the public record — then, Internet sleuths and journalists will be able to piece together names from details, they always do.
