"Cool". I said "songs" because I don't think any will get airplay on the radio any more than any other young person's bruised diary would. I have quite a few opinions on "writing" and I will try to enjoy the mute.

Yesterday this article was headlined with the last part being: was it murder? There was so much instant outrage it looks like the NYT has altered the headline.

The whole "Alpha" wolf and pack thing is bullshit. It's a lie. It's wrong. It's not a thing. You're just an asshole.

Wolves fighting for dominance as a "thing" came from observation of captive packs. Observation of genuinely wild packs has revealed that it is not, in fact, a "thing."

Y'hear that, ya shitty modern werewolf writers?

Hear that, self-styled "alpha males"?

They weren't even captive packs, they were a bunch of unrelated wolves shoved together in too-small a space.

So if you're an 'alpha wolf then you are. in point of fact not the noble, fierce and imposing leader of a group who respects you, but a scared wild creature with no social support frantically lashing out at strangers to try and gain some semblance of control over a fundamentally uncontrollable environment?

Huh

That would explain a few things

Thanks, but the attention should be on why the NYT chose to put "was it murder?" in their headline. That is not reporting, that is pushing a framed story, indicating there is a gray area when the rest of their headline makes clear: This. Was. Murder. This propaganda tries to destroy objectivity.

So if people can't stop the knee jerk reactionism and realize the peril our nation is in and how it must be handled carefully to avoid falling into the obvious traps set by the MAGA fascists then I have little faith in Americans' ability to save America from this.

And, furthermore, he can control the actions and use of force (if any) parameters set by State Police. If the feds send in real enforcer goons to do domestic law enforcement he will have zero control over how brutal they are, and no one in the Fed gov is doing anything, so far, to stop this.

New Leaf @newleaf.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

If a Gov doesn't demonstrate that they are "taking all steps to effectuate law enforcement" the regime will exercise authority to send in their own enforcers. This is exactly what the regime wants to do and they only want the thinnest excuse. They may not wait for it, but he is right not to give it.

Yes. It should be expressly forbidden. This court is so critical that it cannot be allowed to render any decision without showing their reasoning to the people. We also need terms, not lifetime appointments.

Politifact seems to have raced to discredit it, but I would like to see a trustworthy analysis of whatever information is alleged to exist about this. That MAGA pols love cock is no secret, but they can't get away with demonizing Americans who are proud to say so, not hiding it.

Loosely following grindrgate and either that picture of Mike Johnson was taken before July 2023 or it was taken around May 5, 2025, when he publicly shared it. Should not be hard to ascertain, there are other people shown in the image. If it is from 2023 it is well before Johnson attained SotH.

Exactly. Dems need to retire and let younger people take the reins. They are addicted to the money and power and remain in their cushy positions for decades. We now have a Congress that might as well serve Jell-O at 3 and put Wheel of Fortune on all day, to keep the residents calm.

"Why are you such a racist, JD? Is your wife part of a caste system? Is racism a daily fact of life in your house? Are you teaching your children to hate immigrants and Latino people, since they are "half brown"?" Since you cannot do that, step aside for someone who understands where we are.

To parrot this point that your leadership *thinks* is salient or laudable is to show your feckless inability to stake a firm position of your own, as a party, and not constantly get pushed this way and that by the fascists on the MAGA side. Try: "why are you targeting immigrants and brown people?"

1. Retire. You are part of the gerontocracy, or do you not own any mirrors? 2. Healthcare is not something to wield as a political cudgel or even scalpel. It is a human right, and if someone shows up in an ER for care they should receive it.

New Leaf @newleaf.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

This is not the message to push, here. Maybe to bigots who watch Fox. Here, we understand that healthcare is a human right and that the American healthcare system is a rapacious machine of extracting money and denying care, and that you have a golden ticket.

You're kidding, right? It is blatantly obvious why ABC (and many others, watch) promotes it now. The new stakeholders are buying precisely as a propaganda tool, a piece of media they heretofore didn't control, and they have more than enough funding and power to rope-in MSM. Idk if it will work.
