The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

That same 30% are the unabashed fascists in the country. It's always 30 to 35%. 30% would say to bring back chattel slavery if they were sure the survey was anonymous.

Honestly, one meager slice of hope that I have about America's future (mitigating) is that Trump is very unpopular. Autocrats need popular support. This guy doesn't have it.

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.
They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

"Everything straight is actually gay" is my favourite kind of ragebait posts by these morons.

all the fake AI trash really contradicts one of the main ways we're told capitalism operates, with capitalists identifying wants/needs & developing products & services to meet those. turns out you can skip that step & just pretend. nigh everyone hates AI and it makes no money but it's everywhere

Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.

To be very clear, Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the people who get it as children. lnk.thebulwark.com/3Xt957M

I have more trouble handling the cold as I age, but I think climate change is also screwing with our internal rhythms. The summer gets so hot that our bodies adjust for warmer climes, and then winter just feels colder even though it's not. There's no gradual adjustment. It's a slingshot of extremes.

The freaks shouting at everyone to hop aboard team fash REQUIRE boosted support to be heard by wide audiences, because normal people think it's gross. Any politician or journalist who does not comprehend this or actively ignores it should not have their position.
The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

I'm really loving the Playstation phase of the retro game design movement. I predict they'll do N64 next, which I will also love. Then we're done, right? Like, that's it? A few devs are gonna do a 360 thing and everyone's gonna be all... why? Then there's nothing left to mine after that.

The word "doomerism" is horribly abused on here. Some of you use it as code for "telling me what I don't want to hear" and it's childish.

This is exactly my take. I love driving and I love my car. I think most people hate driving, and that's why they're bad at it. They would be happier to take a train or bus if the choice was convenient. And I'd happily park five minutes away and walk if it took ten fewer minutes to get somewhere.
i’ll never understand why public transit haters discourage use of public transit and want to defund it. if less people use cars the roads will have less traffic and you’ll get to where you want faster with your own car. stupid people

Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

being canceled is not a real thing, it is a neologism describing the stigma that should come from bad behavior. the only consequences that come from it are the ones we collectively imposed, and as the last decade has shown, no one with institutional power is interested in that.

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.
