we aren’t going to beat these motherfuckers by being cool and detached about it, we are going to beat them by getting every working grandma and every nurse soccer mom and every shift supervisor football dad out in the fucking streets and all of us being there with them in arms

What's on your minds?

As is seasonally appropriate, I've been thinking about death.

B/c I can't help myself I've also been thinking about Christianity's fucked up relationship to death, and the toxic dynamics of hardline faith.

recurring gripe of mine: stop talking about these people like they’re fucking supervillains, Palmer Luckey is grifter bullshit artist who is going to steal a lot of public money in exchange for buggy vaporware, he’s not Lex Luthor. they get off when breathlessl hyperventilating about them like this.

Kate Ross @kateross.bsky.social · Sep 6

The Merchant of Death, billionaire Palmer Luckey, rebranded the DOD the Department of War.

Peter Thiel/Palantir gave his company, Andruil, a billion dollars in January.

This is Palmer “I love killer robots” Luckey.

Origin story on rename below, as well as him hanging out with the worst people.

Yes! People didn’t remember what Trump did *during his first term!* He dropped the MOAB to hear it go boom! He tried to nuke a hurricane! He met the grieving families of murder victims and signed photos of their dead loved ones!

Oliver Willis @owillis.bsky.social · 21h

in the last decade and a half, very few of us on the liberal side even bring up george w bush -- which is why im not optimistic about liberalism collectively remembering everything trump has done to us. we've already reduced reagan and bush to "not so bad" and you even see people praise goldwater

Hmmmmmm fascinating that they're officially adding us bi people to the "demographics we're eager to see marginalized"...

(not surprising at all, of course they come after us alongside our trans and NB siblings, we are also people who reject simple boxes and binaries)

Just gonna leave this here.

In survey data, LGBT young people report consistently worse mental health than heterosexual young people.
Whether this is because LGBT causes mental illness (i.e. the minority stress or anomie hypotheses), or because
mental illness causes individuals to be LGBT is beyond the scope of this work.2

Instead of reposting every part of the thread, here, have 🧵

This is well put. Violence is expensive in every sense, in every currency I value.
Let me put it this way: I'm not sure the Quakers are right, but I'm much less sure that they're wrong.

Courtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 22h

Just FYI, here are my personal beliefs on the use of large scale violence.

1. Violence tends to be self-replicating, and so should be avoided as much as possible.

All violence has the potential to entrench itself.

So you have these people who are wealthy but often through no work of their own or only the most superficial engagement in work, they’re addicted to drugs, they are obsessed with their status and being seen in high-end restaurants

You know, I was talking with a friend of mine about our current political moment and the issues we were having in our society, and they said that they had just re-read the books American psycho && bonfire of the vanities, and their argument was basically that we’re being governed by Patrick Bateman

There is no appropriated money to make up any shortfall in troop pay compared to if there were no shutdown and if troops get paid anyway it is a pure and clear violation of the constitution. Simple as.

Trump: "I had a very wealthy person who called -- a donor, a great gentleman -- and he said, 'if there's any money necessary, shortfall, for the paying of the troops, then I will pay it.' Meaning he will pay it. How about that?"

As always he does something nakedly corrupt, the rest of the administration rushes to tell everyone it's actually a vital US interest and you're crazy to suggest otherwise, and he turns around and says "no I'm doing this because I'm corrupt"

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.
