The general expectation among US elite culture is that the broad catch all of "liberals"--urban dwellers, minorities, women, LGBTQ ppl, etc--are expected to eat unending amounts of shit from "real" Americans while a) not complaining and b) still financially supporting them but without holding power

I’m from the San Francisco Bay Area, and never once in my 40 years of life have I heard a mainstream media figure say that the right — or government generally — has any obligation to treat me as an equal citizen or human being, or in any way be protected or served by the federal government.

#furryart

Illustration of a werewolf barista in a little cafe. The werewolf wears a barista apron and carefully pours cream over a tiny cup of latte. The backdrop consists of a countertop upon which sits a blueberry tart under glass, and a glass shelf housing various pastries. There's also a commercial espresso machine, bouquet of flowers in a vase, a wall shelf, a chalkboard menu, and string lights strung on the wall.

There are several options but here's the short version:

You can extend your support for Windows 10 for an extra year while you go over your options long term, BUT it will require signing up for a Microsoft account even if you take the paid option.

PLEASE DO NOT RUN WINDOWS 10 UNSUPPORTED.

This is probably the queerest piece of official art that D&D has ever released. While I don't think I have any use for a rubber play mat, the image is adorable and it's making me think I might need to own it. I mean, it has kobolds in shimmering loincloths shaking pride-maracas, for heck's sake!

It's somehow both wildly underreported and just out in the open that the vice president is either a neo-Nazi or, at a bare minimum, a neo-Nazi fellow traveler.

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

Liberals hit back at Vance's blunt dismissal of racist, antisemitic and misogynistic messages leaked from a Young Republicans group chat.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

Another good way to think of this moment is that the American secret police are increasingly comfortable black bagging American citizens on camera and in broad daylight with no basis of detention. The mere act of criticism, no matter how petty and silly, is its own justification for brutality.
