Someone used AI to “create” five songs based on my Iron Druid characters, and damn it, NO. Stealing my characters and then using AI, which is made of more stolen work and is destroying the planet with its water, electricity usage, and greenhouse gas production, is not how you honor a Druid.

For 134 years I’ve been telling you jabronis that Lizzie Borden used a hatchet, not an axe, for her weapon of choice. I don’t care what the poem says.

I don't think the moderation team is transphobic: I think an unusually high number of early adopters of Bluesky were trans and, as is common with early adopters, feel themselves to be somehow entitled to special treatment or to get to run the site, and so moderation tends to fall on them.

When I was writing my concentration camp book, one challenging aspect was that the most extreme aspects of what I was writing about were, in many ways, beyond metaphor. In fact, this kind of suffering *was* the metaphor others looked to emphasize the horror of some other kind of event. [1/3]

But coaches who got hired bc of it, like Rams OC Nate Scheelhaase, told me and Kris Rhim and Jason Reid that it "accelerated his development." The league says they didn't end the minority OA mandate- they just aren't funding it or requiring it anymore...

I’m already furious in advance about whatever stupid lie Republicans make up to justify this murder whether it’s “under the influence” or “armed with a curb” or “crazy look in their eyes.” The specific lie doesn’t matter but we all know it’s coming because they’re heartless cruel people.

The US government is now straight up posting nazi propaganda.

A retro-style poster shared by the U.S. Department of Labor. It shows a serious young man in a button-up work shirt, standing in front of a map of the United States with construction cranes in the background. The text reads: “Build your Homeland’s Future!” At the top, there’s a link: APRENTICESHIP.GOV.

Another vintage-style poster from the U.S. Department of Labor. A young man in a short-sleeved collared shirt stands confidently in front of oil drilling and construction equipment under a bright blue sky. The bold text reads: “Power the Golden Age!” The same link, APRENTICESHIP.GOV, is displayed above.

Conservatives have an upside down view of masculinity, they think being an abusive petty moron is the ideal to strive towards. The crazy thing is, on some level theory they acknowledge they are wrong to be so putrid but they simply just refuse to go to therapy.

What is truly sad is the fact that the owners of cybertrucks desperately want to be as the cool kids. Right-wingers always call themselves the new punk rock, when they are anything but. Going to therapy would solve so many of their problems.

It won't be just the LA Times and Washington Post. It will be your employer, your university, your school district, and your local elected officials. They will all cave and engage in anticipatory obedience to fascism because of their cowardice and greed. Your institutions will not save you.

You're so goddamn right. A few weeks ago Harris was leading by seven points in some polls, now she is ranting about how great the Cheney's are and it's a dead heat. I bet you a thousand bucks Harris will lose.

I agree, there is a large portion of the American electorate that thinks anything political or anything to do with politics is wrong or just plain evil. Bernie Sanders warned people not to think that they can't do anything to defeat the wealthy, but so many people have just given up.

People always say that it's 50 percent vs 50 percent, but correct me if I am wrong, only 66 percent of Americans voted in 2020. I mean there are centre left policies that have 50 to 60 percent support among US voters. My point is that it's mostly 35 percent who are the true hardcore insane psychos.

Yeah I agree, as I have stated before Harris is much more right wing than obama and biden, she does NOT need any gop voting block because the progressives and centre-left far outmatch the right.

sam7171smith.bsky.social @sam7171smith.bsky.social · 12/10/2024

She is to the right of Obama AND Biden. IF she loses it will solely because of her trying to placate GOP voters.

sam7171smith.bsky.social @sam7171smith.bsky.social · 12/10/2024

The only way for her to win this election, is to split the campaign. Hell I can almost guarantee that if Harris wins she and walz will have a massive falling out.

sam7171smith.bsky.social @sam7171smith.bsky.social · 12/10/2024

Wait for the Bloomberg/morning consult polls, If they show Harris with a strong leadas they consistently have , Kamala will have a razor-thin victory.

IF Kamasla loses, it will sbe olely due to her abandoning her previous leftist policy positions, FeministaJones has pointed out that there is no way to know if word will be bond, when Harris says things like Roe v Wade will be codified

You are correct, to be perfectly honest to be perfectly honest i am waiting for the bloomberg/morning consult polls, if they show kamala with strong leads as they have multiple times before, i personally predict a razor-thin Harris/Walz win
