We live in an era where "respectability" and pearl-clutching are more valued than stating the actual truth. In the current age that Scottish lady who commented on margaret thatcher's death would likely get tried for terrorism or something.

It's amazing how every week the EU comes off looking even more spineless, feckless and completely unresponsive. Always finding new ways to fold to a dictator.

I am beginning to think "nobody would do it, because it defies all reason" isn't efficient at all as far as "checks and balances" against autocracy go.

The last seconds of #eurovision2025 were like this. I haven't been this relieved in a long time for a disaster avoided.

Karoline Leavitt is lying. About a lot of things, yes, but the lie I have in mind is complaining that she hates getting mockery and criticism online. She is lying. She *loves* being mocked and criticized, and works hard to generate it. Because then she can go “I’m a victim” justified in anything.

Oh to love anything as much as Western horseshoe leftists love defending, excusing, apologizing for, and facilitating 21st century fascists.

It can't be overstated how ridiculous us journalists nowadays look. Half the networks are reporting like this about a wannabe dictator: "I am not joking I will literally do this, one hundred percent." - The president joked.

There should be no reason to test fascist collaborators as any different than fascists. Especially when they take aim at your healthcare

Downside: Current events, future implications, an immense amount of avoidable human suffering Upside: I was very right, and people who dismissed my warnings as outlandish, hysterical, and biased (or whatever) were badly wrong, in ways they won't acknowledge nor learn from I don't like this trade

Idiots elect monsters and billionaires who set out to tear governments apart. They elect other idiots that sneer at art and urge to let the machines steal the creativity, the very soul of humanity. And then the world wonders why the said people now dream of building the gallows once again.

I think it's fair to say that any US ally should stop sharing their information with US this very moment unless they want it to end up on Putin's desk within an hour now that a literal open Russian asset is the director of nat intel. Also might rethink using any whistleblower hotline.

"Obviously there are nazis, so let's do what nazis would and pass the laws nazis would with the help of nazis in order to prevent them from gaining power" is not the winning strategy you think it is, Germany.

I am sorry, but there's basically zero reason anyone anywhere in the world should or would EVER trust the US going forward. No not just with this admin (if it ever ends which I DOUBT), but ever because the track record of the last decade is, uh, not great.

This narrative that the Democrats ignored the working class is really aggravating. Be specific. You’re talking about the white working class because the Black working class understood the stakes of this election just fine.

Elie Mystal, with feeling: “A country that allows its environment to be ravaged, its children to be shot, its wealth to be hoarded, its workers to be exploited, its poor to starve, its cops to murder, and its minorities to be hunted doesn’t really deserve to be ‘saved.’ It deserves to fail.”

Any Dem acting like we need to push further right needs to be tossed immediately. Harris lost, but not by as much as people are saying. Anyone talking like this has always wanted to be more conservative and now they have an excuse. Fuck off.
Trump swing from 20 to 24 was 3.1 pts in battleground and across other states it was 6.7.

Seriously though. The notion that you can win votes from people who say “pronouns in email signatures made me mad so we should leave NATO” by trying to please them is ridiculous.

Friendly reminder that if you haven't quit Twitter yet you are consciously and willingly helping a fascist autocrat and his blood diamond apartheid stooge spread propaganda and (likely) kill people.

"But how do we reach out to those people?" Why should you? Why should you "meet in the middle" someone who believes you shouldn't have rights or exist? How about this: There has been TOO MUCH "meeting in the middle"—normalizing/emboldening them. Cut ties with bigots in your social circles.

I don't think people who argue about "how should next election go", "who should be next candidate", or "what should be done better next time" get it Administrative Branches are dead. The US is about to become the second Russia—with faux elections, no EPA, no public education, and no human rights.

I remember hoping that once the "ye olde racist" stereotype dies out, there will be hope for the human race. But then zoomers came and decided christo-fascism is cool achshually because their tiktoks said so. So much for that.

I can't believe I have to say this but to anyone within my social circle - if I find out you voted for the fascist cretin stain of humanity, you are dead to me and I will dedicate every single ounce of my being these next four years to make your life a living hell.

Enjoy the fiction you have now—when it comes to diversity or LGBTQA+, the entertainment industry will fold like paper to the fascists in power. Whether it's movies, TV shows, books or video games—what happened today will bring fiction to Hays Code times...but likely worse.

You don't very often see a game bomb its own sales the way Life is Strange Double Exposure did. Managing to singularly Rob Thomas your franchise before the game even launches takes gall.

Surprised at Arcane being "2 seasons = done" kind of deal. Would have expected a longer show with all that buildup. Even if they were to continue it with different leads/location, viewership retention might be problem as fandom is built around these characters - usually doesnt bode well on Netflix.

Also maybe , RWBY - a show that - Retconed lore into how the endgame is the biblical apocalypse of gods judging humanity for their sins - made lead villain satan - Dedicated entire season to tell you how flaws are evil and the only way to escape is to be Born Again Shouldn't do things like (cont)

Imagine not having time to show - v3 fallout - Ruby dealing with her friend dead AGAIN (and by whom) - Yang's recovery arc - BB buildup - Protagonist's home destroyed. But having a filler volume in never mentioned goofy dimension and jl crossover Gee wonder why RT n RWBY ended up where it did.

I wish I could say Rooster Teeth fate was surprising, but the writing has been on the wall - crunch, bleeding talent, sexual harassment scandals, the mismanagement, the mishandling of franchises, writing quality in RWBY since v4 - a company run like dudebro YouTube machinima - squandered potential.
