we need to make Chi Osse's life hell (or at least make his socials unusable) until he runs against HJ

(this is actually existing utilitarianism)

The Dem generic ballot advantage was greater in the “This is not normal!” early phase of Trump’s first presidency than ever again

the thing about invading Russia is that, unless you roll over the country within 9 months, you will still be invading Russia when winter comes

we have to be willing to just fuck with foreign governments in order to promote pro-democracy forces and harm pro-authoritarian forces in those countries

*that's* our actual interest, not whatever faff natsec heads preach about "the rules based order"

The siren call of electoral strategy and analysis partially crowded out work on things like law, organizational resistance, and protest. I blame myself, too

It really sucks Newsom vetoed the HRT and PreP access bills. The stockpile veto is going to hurt.

That said, given everything he has been saying this year, signing 8 out of 10 bills is a win for grassroots activists and the legislators filing the bills.

It shows your pressure has worked!

Trans News Network @transnews.network · 13h

CA UPDATE:

Newsom has signed these queer rights bills:
- AB 82 / SB 497 (Medical privacy)
- AB 1084 / SB 59 (Name/Gender changes)
- SB 450 (Adoption access)

And vetoed these bills:
- SB 418 (HRT stockpile)
- AB 554 (PreP)

Final total: 8 bills signed, 2 vetoed.

the far left : poverty is always bad and getting worse :: the far right : crime is always bad and getting worse

once you notice this you can't unsee it

and it makes it impossible to take credit for movement on either of these issues because what are you, insensitive to those suffering?

imho it's pretty clear in older literature that card games were, very literally, the gamer culture of the entire West from about the year 1500 on.

this is why every single murder in an American western involves poker, and every single major source of idiot drama in Russia involves whist

lastpositivist.bsky.social @lastpositivist.bsky.social · 22h

Can't believe there were gamers even in the 17th century, history is so fascinating.

Alexis Trousset (alias Jacques Olivier) emerged briefly from obscurity in 1617, when he published a misogynistic tract entitled Alphabet of the Imperfection and Malice of Women. Trousset composed his diatribe as alphabetically ordered descriptions of female vices, beginning with the letter'A' (a very avaricious animal') and dedicated it to 'the worst creature in the world? The following extract from the preface exemplifies the style and content of the whole book:

Woman! If your arrogant and fickle mind could know the fate of your misery and the vanity of your condition, you would flee from the light of day and seek out the shadows; you would hide in caverns and caves; you would curse your misfortune, regret your birth and hate yourself. Nonetheless, the extreme blindness that deprives you of this knowledge makes you live in society as the most imperfect creature in the universe, the scum of nature, the breeding ground of evils, the source of controversy, the laughing stock of the insane, the scourge of wisdom, the firebrand of hell, the instigator of vice, the cesspool of filth, a monster in nature, a necessary evil, a multiform chimera, a harmful pleasure, the bait of the devil, the enemy of the angels, the mask of God, deforming and undermining the wisdom of the very God who created you.'
