Featured- a picture of 3 white women referencing the civil rights movement to justify exposing their infant children to potentially fatal diseases. Certainly I don’t want to bang my head against a brick wall until thinky time stops…

What’s interesting about Carlson is originally he was just a grifter with no beliefs in anything except furthering his career. I think the combination of financial incentives and self mythologizing has permanently altered his brain though, and who knows what now lurks in his shriveled, black soul?

Imagine if we in the US took this kind of interest in the fate of people having their lives torn apart by rampant, unchecked greed. Where would we be then, I wonder…?

I imagine the appeal for guys is the opportunity to spend a day walking around with a carrot shoved up their ass and then enjoying a good paddling at night without having to examine those proclivities. Fucking buy a friend with a bonus free pass for rape.

The biggest draw of twitter and now Bluesky for me has always been that I can exist on social media without ever risking learning a single goddamn thing about what my high school classmates are up to these days.

It’s interesting how Trump can’t hold a coherent thought in his head for more than 12 seconds yet he just won’t let go of the Greenland thing. Imagine if he expended even a fraction of this energy on learning economic policy or foreign relations.

Problem is, if we were using it for what it was good for, no one’s becoming a trillionaire off it and that seems to be all that matters to anyone.

Civility is when vulnerable people take whatever shit is heaped on them, polarization is when vulnerable people push back. There’s no scenario in which the ratfucks stop heaping shit on the vulnerable, which is why I’m fine with polarization.

I walked past Sen. Ron Johnson on a street corner by the Capitol a few months after that July 4th he spent in Moscow during Trump 1 and I called him a traitor. It felt fuckin great. Made up for when I passed Arne Duncan in O'Hare and couldn't come up with a zinger

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what you think their motivations are. There are a bunch of politicians who loudly play god botherer that I guarantee have no faith whatsoever, but they’re still playing that game and they’ll play it right to the bitter end, so what’s the difference?

I'm sorry does this guy think he won 86% of the popular vote?

Why should Americans believe that you respect the free press when you're restricting access to the White House to some of our colleagues?

Because I do respect the free press, but I don't respect fake news. I'll give you an example. CNN and MSDNC, which is MS Now—they changed the name because it does so poorly. But I won the election. I won it handily by massive numbers. I won the popular vote. I won all seven swing states. They said if you won three swing states, I won all seven. I won the counties. It's very important, 86% popular vote. Everything, and very conclusively, I haven't had a good story on CNN for years. They're incapable of being—they're fake news. Same thing on MS NOW.

The reason we don't use actually effective means of execution like the guillotine or the firing squad is that these methods can't hide the fact that execution is a brutal act that has no place in civilized society.

He’s right, but I feel like it misses the point. We could ban Greek letters and polo shirts from campuses tomorrow and these guys would find ways to gather together to prey on women. Rape culture isn’t frat culture, it’s American culture.

Republicans told us to hate. To hate openly and freely. To hate with everything we have. To purge ourselves of anything that might stand in the way of that hate. And then the hate turned their way and now they want a fucking do-over.

it’s become so normal for people to disclose their rapes to appeal to people’s humanity around rape cases that we don’t think about how disgusting the need to do that is put the worst moment of your life out for public consumption, so that half the comments can call you a liar.

Saying AI must benefit workers is like saying cigarettes must benefit toddlers. No, I’m sorry, that’s not fair. I don’t think tobacco manufacturers believe the whole point of their product is to harm toddlers.
