It's nice to see someone genuinely care about their minions, rather as viewing them as disposable once they've played their role in the evil scheme. This is how it's done, y'all

Until this morning, when I googled it as a result of Discourse, I had never heard Choosin Texas. Yes, because I don't listen to country. Which is *fine*. This article is an abomination

So the answer to this is "yes, I do want this," where "this" is "business owners to decide they are not going to run ads they actually believe are false" For the same reason I want them to not run ads for neo-Nazi websites. The solution to "what if it's run by a right winger who takes down all...

The fake Zuck speech in the trailer is totally right. Do you want one person to decide what ads can run on social media platforms? It's 2026 - look around! What if the Trump-aligned tech oligarchs just said they were taking down all Democratic ads because of "fact-checks"?

Fwiw I do this all the time and people seem to be able to tell the difference between "this is a good point, I want to riff on it but it would be rude to do that in your mentions" and "look at THIS asshole" Frankly, I'd like to think I'm helping the former be the default assumption

Netanyahu at the UN: There wasn't a single Israeli in Gaza on the morning of October 7. Not a civilian, not a soldier. Nobody's going to care about this but that's wrong. There were two Israeli civilians in Gaza then: Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who'd been held by Hamas for years.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

when I was younger, whenever I was having a bad mental health day and someone told me I needed to stop yelling, my response would be to scream at them as loud as I could in an “I’ll show you yelling” way. Anyway, someone told Rahmeh to stop posting antisemitism
a post from Rahmeh Aladwan that reads:

The jewish holiday Yom Kippur starts with a troubling prayer called Kol Nidre. It's a preemptive legal declaration that automatically cancels all personal oaths, promises, and vows. In simple terms, it allows jews to treat their words like garbage and cheat their spiritual obligations for the next 12 months.

A defense against recklessness would be, "we had a process that we followed to avoid things like this," which is why "we eliminated that process months ago because it was woke and gay" is a liability problem.

Doesn’t really help the case that all of this was preceded by the administration both very loudly yelling & quietly signaling that they were doing away w/ namby-pamby things like civilian impact studies, not striking civilian infrastructure, brown generals, and the concept of war crimes in general.

People seem to be tossing around “sex cult” as a sensationalist “ooh this cult does freaky sex shit” modifier, but I am saying a sex cult is a specific org defined by both its culty abusive power dynamics *and* sex being a central focus of the ethos (not a fringe benefit).

Yep. I'm honestly more willing to say "Forget it, dump Kaptur" because the secondary harms don't exist. If we're one seat down in the House because we finally lost a longtime DINO on multiple issues, then we're already sunk.
