He definitely should have butted in sooner but I'm willing to give him credit for disregarding the deflections rather than trying to rebut them on the basis that Vance wasn't trying to Gish gallop, he was trying to put Stephanopoulos on defense so he could take control of the conversation.

Also his administration is the reason why food is so expensive right now anyway.

1) I once again take this opportunity to remind you: to keep its basic functioning, society has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

2) is...is it happening?

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

For any Catholic, the sight of a Eucharistic Procession being turned away at the gates of the destination is the embodiment of Jesus being denied entrance. You don't have to be Catholic to get the symbolism in that!

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Maybe if "Don't intentionally shatter the party's solidarity against fascism and split the base in a foolish attempt to win over five Republicans" is that one issue

Mamdani promises to deploy *hundreds* if lawyers to fight for trans rights, create a new office of LGBTQ affairs, and allocate millions of dollars to fund housing and healthcare for trans kids and adults

This is what fighting back looks like--elevating activists to materually support trans people.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

There was a Studio Deen (Konosuba, Yakuza Fiance, etc) anime last year that was marketed as gay parenting slice of life but then surprise, it's Omegaverse too.

Well, not a surprise to anyone who looked up where the manga was originally published but still.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

I had the sense not to apply for clerical work jobs at ICE even when I was resorting to Walmart, even though the ICE listings paid better and would have had less competition.

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

For those who aren't familiar, this is basically the Catholic Priest way of pulling a switchblade and saying "Fuck you, try me."

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

It's a huge mistake to let fascists get wins so that we can conserve our resources.

We're the ones with the numerical advantage.

They are the ones who need to carefully steward their resources to deploy in the right place at the right time.

They can't win a battle of attrition.
