This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

Some nice throwing on a rainy day. These gourd neck vases are maybe my favourite shape to throw, it’s a nice technical challenge 💕

The text didn't succumb to that. The article closed on a note of intergenerational mutual care, with Cox at an event with very young trans people. It was also the first time a US news org used the word trans outside of quotes. Disclosure: I was one of the people interviewed in the article.

Your point about PG&E is well taken. They absolutely have a talent for disaster. I'm sure if someone's improperly stored explosives DO go off, they'll be a contributing factor.

yeah, but there's a bank at the reported address so I took some liberties. I used to work a block and a half down California.

Listen kids, this is one of many reasons why we don't store Semtex and detonators together in a safe deposit box. Just being in a safe doesn't make it safe. www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

This feels like the dual to a mantra that greatly reduces the amount of bad trouble I create, "The more convinced I am that I'm right, the greater the risk that I'll hurt myself or someone I care for."

Neither, really. Too many people to be chill, but the vibe is 80% people having fun and 20% people who walk through to see what's up and leave.

This insight should have closely followed the 1979 IBM policy that inspired it. Instead we elected Ronald Reagan.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

No joke. You trashy asswipes need to put those damn traitor flags down and figure out how to better your own lives. Hating others for stupid reasons won't improve your situation.

This is why it's essential to make noise about anti-trans Dems even if you're going to take a harm reduction approach to voting in the general. And perhaps be coy about *publicly* committing to or strongly advocating others take a harm reduction approach despite planning to vote that way.

Hey, I notice you're trying to influence political candidates during an election. That's really inconvenient, politically speaking. Wouldn't it be better to wait until after the election, when the candidate has everything they need from you, and you have zero leverage?

This Is Talarico better than Paxton for trans people? Almost certainly. Does clearing that subterranean bar justify our silence on Talarico's reprehensible position and the duplicitous timing of his shift? Absolutely not.

I am not a Christian, but at one point significant effort was invested in trying to make me one. My answer to this question would be: Jesus was a moral philosopher whose death attracted more interest than his words

A+ for correctly identifying the all-pervasive horror vibe, but I think this misjudges which kind of horror story we're currently trapped in. We're in a cyberpunk static-filled-sky with rogue AI, gritty streets, and fascist-cheerleading corporate villain kind of horror story.
Screenshot of tweet from @ahistoryofg (A History of Ghosts) reading  "Why is everyone acting all surprised that McConnell seems weird now? Nobody comes back normal from the Pet Sematary."

Even as someone who would make a different choice, I am repulsed by centrist infantilization of trans people who have chosen not to vote for Talarico in the general.

Meanwhile Talarico has said he'd ban surgery for minors and, as trans folks on here have pointed out, minors can mean anyone who is up to the age of 25. All you centrist bigots can eat my shorts. I'm not interested in your whinging or your justifications. You're useless to the trans community.

It doesn’t matter if you eat organic foods. It doesn’t matter if you exercise regularly. It doesn’t matter if you inject peptides. It doesn’t matter if you have “good genes”. None of these things will prevent you from contracting vaccine-preventable diseases. There is only one thing that will.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

It's NEVER a bad time to loudly/persistently call out shits like Talarico for anti-trans bullshit & duplicitous campaigning. *Personally*, if in Texas I would still take a harm reduction approach to my vote in the general, especially against Paxton. I don't think anyone will forget this in 6 yrs.
