i think if you forced me at gunpoint, i could come up with some sort of rational or evidence based explanation for every weird thing about trump and those in his orbit EXCEPT for the standing thing. the Weird-Standing just breaks my brain because not only why, but how does it SPREAD to people?

feels like in 100 years the most compelling and frequently referenced evidence against democratic governance will just be pointing to this period of american history and specifically the incompatibility of having both an anti-intellectual pundit class and an informed electorate simultaneously

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

yeah i almost never endorse this but this is genuinely one of the rare times you dont need to know anything about the bill whatsoever, the context surrounding it makes it impossible for it to be good.

ironically this will happen to some degree just not by choice. bc of cuts coming in the budget, + changes already made to services with medicaid/medicare due to racist fraud hysteria, basically every big provider has made it clear the first, last, and biggest cuts will be to *service area*

this is an incredibly specific guess, but a significant portion of the motivation for this piece, maybe all the motivation, was because someone both hadnt heard of this song and casually implied the author only had because they have so much free time to sit around listening to the radio

i think it *is* accurate to state trump lacks the patience, planning, lucidity, and will to actually do martial law, while at the same time im not sure one is realistically interpreting the conditions if making an "election denier crank" distinction between any of these people

Looking in real time, rather predictably blueskys brilliant “anti dogpile moderation system” in practice means a reply directly stating “I think the rape victim is to blame for their rape” sits at the top while the dozens of replies saying “that sucks” are hidden under “other replies”

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.

The thing about every tech company spending the last 20 years wanting an “eccentric rockstar CEO” is that 999 times out of 1000 you don’t get “genius that doesn’t believe in deodorant” you just get “weird dumbass, who also doesn’t believe in deodorant”

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

remember that the people who said they cared about police violence but hated "defund" did not say anything at all as more americans were killed by police under biden than any other president ever. not one of them said a single word, they still dont today. (this applies to everything they say)

It's so gross to distinguish truth from falsehood. To not be gross, we should fall for false made-up things that don't exist. Otherwise, we are being disrespectful.
