one of the things i like the least about bsky is how they'll insert random overly-saccharin posts into my feed which is mostly about politics and they sound so fake, so much like engagement bait. "The only datacenter I support is my local library" go away

people get all excited about international sports competitions like the olympics or the world cup but (and i know i'm no fun) it's worrying how much jingoism and racism these competitions seem to legitimize on social media. Say the most offensive shit you want, it's ok because sports.

seeing a lot of left-populists online disparagingly refer to non-rapist politicians as "grown in a vat to run for office," as if the idea of a person not being a rapist is just so unnatural to them. It must be hard having such a negative view of humanity.

“All politicians are corrupt” is what corrupt politicians WANT you to think because then they become the average

i kinda hate it how everyone has apparently forgotten that the reason SS, Medicare, etc. are called "entitlements" is to remind people that they are, in fact, entitled to receive them. It expresses an obligation the government has to the people! You can't cut spending people are entitled to!

A drag ball in Paris, 1931. Police had to give special permission for drag performers. While crossdressing was not illegal for men, dancing with others while dressed as a woman was.

when conservatives say they don't believe in the separation of church and state, that's just a sanitized way of saying they want the state - with its monopoly on violence - to force people to follow their religion.

after covering MTG's extreme transphobia for years, it's disheartening to see anyone on the left side of the aisle say that she deserves anything but our contempt. Yes, people who change their minds should be welcomed, but no, she has not. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/12/hous...

part of the reason i had the word "capitalism" muted on socials before was because 90% of people have no idea what it means. Yes, local government services, famous examples of capitalism!

OK there's this but also there is a little trans girl in WV who wanted to run cross country with her friends and now she'll probably be stopped and 40% of the country probably thinks it was worth it.

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

The idea that there was ever a point where working class households could live comfortably with only the dad working is a fucking lie, a core tenet of fascism and happily repeated by a lot of people who consider themselves leftist or feminist. It’s so wrong that if you say it I think you’re stupid

I'm mildly annoyed that I have to sit through a few days of "omg gay men believe they'd be transed if they were kids today, they're so dumb!" because The Atlantic decided to publish someone who could never get published in LGBT media.

It is so weird how we're in the beginning of 2026 and so many people are acting like Gavin Newsom already won the 2028 primary. The primary hasn't even started. We haven't even had the midterms yet. It's very unlikely that anyone right now can predict who will win.

people should get more comfortable with hearing bi people refer to themselves as "gay" or "lesbian" as they sometimes do, just like gay people sometimes call themselves "queer" or "not quite straight." Labels are useful but people don't have to be so literal. www.out.com/gay-music/do...

honestly i think why we are seeing so much discourse about a mayor's race is because it's held on an odd-numbered year. if nyc moved their elections to even years, not sure if most people would even be able to name the mayor of that town.
