It’s cowardice AND it’s strategically incoherent. “Elect me and I promise to keep the genital inspectors out of high school bathrooms so your kids can have a normal and safe learning experience” would win in a landslide, and none of them can commit to that easy logical messaging!

Worse---his self-defence plea was initially rejected, but it has been successfully argued that the jury should have known the woman he killed was trans and not cis. Because apparently, the woman he killed being trans makes the killing more justifiable.

Meanwhile Team Fiery Death is hurling themselves at the side of the bus and they're all "SEE?! Do you want them driving?" and we're like, "It'd be a lot safer if you drove away from the cliff!"

And the cliff-drivers are all, we don't know what's over there, let's just stay the course, it'll be fine as long as nothing unexpected happens And we keep arguing with them, so instead they try to get someone from Team Fiery Death to switch and in return they get called faggots

All metaphor is suspect, but it's more like we're already driving along the cliff, and three people want to keep driving along the edge and four want to take a header off it, and two of us in the back are like, can we just turn the wheel LEFT and drive away from the cliff?

I really hate the rhetorical framing of "voting for ice cream vs driving off a cliff", because it's a transparent attempt by Democrats to explain why they've gone 1 in 3 against fascism without actually examining their own failures

the trans community of rights by creating a culture of sexual harassment and paranoia in sports, to this ridiculous and absurd reframing of merely being disappointed. We're not "disappointed". We're under attack by traitors to democracy who are opposing their own party to promote Nazi messaging.

Fascist arguments rely on stripping context and diminishing the arguments of the enemy. That's how you get from the actual arguments against several individual democrats, specifically that they are actively campaigning on MAGA platform promises to continue increasing state violence and stripping

I had a cop send me death threats, under his full name. He lived 90 mins from me. Reported to his dept, sent screen shots etc. Nothing happened. I got death threats from white supremacists with histories of real violence. Nothing to be done. “We’re scared,” scream lawmakers. Okay? And?

95 percent of what the fascists in power have achieved over the last 2 years has been without Congressional approval. How is electing a Democratic majority in both chambers going to recalibrate that?

Something I've been rolling over in my brain the last couple of days: It's truly gobsmacking the amount of damage that has been done to not only this country, but the world, in the last two years, and it will only get worse, even if the D's win the mid-terms.

Here's what they don't tell you about woodpecker tongues: Some of them are barbed (pileated & downy 'peckers) to allow them to spear insects. The barbs are keratinized, so *hard*. Meaning woodpecker *threat displays* can involve poking an interloper with a barbed tongue. (📷: u/ElvisIsNotDjed)

Every person who supports a liberal "centrist" over a more progressive candidate is simply outing themselves as conservative. Trans people: I have fewer human rights today than I did five years ago. Liberal: But if I don't vote for the transphobic "centrist," *my* rights get taken away too.

a typewritten note that reads:

you made your choice. own up to it at least.

pirating, buying used, etc only serves to keep the IP relevant and create new fans. it's still wrong.

Easily my favorite detail:
There was the incident that became known as "the Lauren error": One day, her daughter Lauren, then four years old, was playing with
the command module simulator at the Instrumentation Lab when she somehow activated a pre-launch program, called P01, while the simulator was in midflight — which crashed the simulator altogether. Hamilton created a program add-on in the technical documentation warning users not to launch
P01 during flight. She also proposed a software fix to prevent the error happening during a real mission, but she was overruled on the grounds that the highly trained astronauts were never going to make that same mistake. Yet during the Apollo 8 mission in 1968, that's exactly what happened: Jim Lovell inadvertently launched P01 during the flight, causing the on-flight navigational data to vanish. Hamilton and her team were called in to solve the error, and after that her proposed changes were
integrated into the program.
