At least 1 in 10 "tragedeigh" names are just not Anglo-Saxon names. Once I saw a kindergarten teacher from America post a Greek immigrant child's name online for all their fellow Americans to shit on just because they were foreign, & they did.

I sweareth, in person jobs are just a lie told by Big Automobile to sell more cars.

America really said, "we can't attack the KKK, that's racist against White people!" Oh, & I am fully certain that if this game *was* made, certain folks would've called it terrorist against American values & traditions, which, I mean...

Most people are not most people, it's okay to have interests.

As someone who’s been a vocal supporter of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, his reported decision to keep Jessica Tisch as NYPD commissioner is a big mistake that seems like a reasonable compromise. The NYPD will understand it as weakness, not good will. Tisch cooperated with ICE to lock up Leqaa Kordia

Honestly, my issue with Shavian is that it has so much unenclosed negative space. It's not bad, but I'm not a big fan of the aesthetics.

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

But to take a page or few from The Origins of Totalitarianism (H. Arendt, 1951), the N*zis depended on the sanewashing of their views for less radical people by average folks like you. You don't have to be as extreme as H*tler to aid & camouflage N*zis, & *that* was my accusation. 🧵2

Bold of you to think being trans of all things would have precluded you from being a N*zi, an accusation I didn't even levy, because for how sexist, antisemitic, ableist, homophobic, & transphobic the N*zis were, they most certainly were not above using suck-ups. 🧵1

Sir, nowhere did I say it was the number of lightning bolts that was the indicator. The fact that you are deflecting from what I actually said about the ORIENTATION of the lightning bolts—facing the same direction⚡️⚡️ instead of the normal opposite direction—implies you know what I'm criticising.

I'm in the weeds, y'all.

standards for Taylor Swift only. On top of that, the enlightened centrists who aren't Swifties are worse because that means you don't worship a person or want to coddle her out of affection, you just worship fame & fortune! 🧵4

Like, seriously, if you think that expecting someone to not either be a N*zi or not be so surrounded by N*zis that their well-known motifs are just typical designs for you is "too much" & "parasocial," you either hold the people around you to the standard of "respectable N*zi" or you lower your 🧵3

I am so exhausted by the enlightened centrist Swifties spewing shit like "gUyS, i KnOw MoMmY dIdN't PlAy NiCe BuT nObOdY's PeRfEcT, cElEbRiTiEs ArE jUsT hUmAn, ShE's NoT a PaRaGoN!"

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

So, this has been my lock-screen for about half a year now & I know I'm a language nerd for this, but I love just looking at it & I intend to switch it out soon so to commemorate my silly little thing, I thought I'd post it!

Americans are so racist, it is unfathomable. How in the world are you still going to be racist to Irish folk‽ A straight, White man‽

I have recently been made aware that some people conflate the word 'verbalise' with 'vocalise' & I just need you all to know that you can call writing & signing 'verbalisations' as well, to verbalise is just to use words, it doesn't specify the mode with which one does so.
