Way Out Western Attire #nudism
A guy is facing the camera naked except a dark brown cowboy hat, a couple purple bracelets on his left wrist, a watch on his right wrist.  He is raising his right hand which is holding the hat band. He is looking down and the hat brim obscures his eyes. He has a red symbol tattoo above his left breast, and a blue and a pink triangle on his right thigh. He is indoors with a white door behind him to his right, curtains and an a/c unit behind him to his left. The bottom of the frame cuts him off below the upper legs.

Sep 24th - East German Nazis will kill Dr. Paul Flammond's daughter, unless he completes the Polaris Naval Mine by this date. 📽️📅 Top Secret! (1984)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Top Secret!" (1984): First, an older man in a white lab coat and glasses speaks urgently, with the subtitle reading “They’ll kill her unless I complete the Polaris Mine by Sunday.” Second, the man gestures toward a wall calendar labeled “ACME LAB EQUIPMENT” showing a pin-up style image and the month “Septhauzen,” pointing to Sunday the 24th. Third, a young man in a blue shirt responds in confusion, with the subtitle reading “Sunday? That’s Simhath Torah.”

I say this a lot but it needs repeating. The 25th amendment has a terrible, fatal flaw. The people who can act to remove an unfit president... Are THE SAME PEOPLE who benefit from having an unfit president to manipulate and advance their own agenda from behind the curtain. And that's bipartisan

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: impeaching subordinate executive branch officers up to and including the VP (aside from SecDef I’d like to see AG, HHS, DHS, Interior on the chopping block) would be a lot more strategically savvy at hampering their agenda than taking another shot at Trump.

This election cycle especially (but really always) you hear how trans people need to swallow their distaste for Democrats who are implicitly and now explicitly anti-trans. How trans folk need to take yet another one for the team and think of the greater good. Think strategically.

I am in very strong denial that the Paramount-WBD merger is really going to be successful. The rallies being held Monday in New York and Tuesday in Los Angeles prove that there's still time left to demand the AGs who reached the settlement with the Ellisons to hold the line once and for all.

The thing liberals fundamentally don't understand is that trans people are losing rights they already had. We're not asking for more, we're asking not to lose what we already had for decades. Most sports leagues and the Olympics had inclusion criteria for decades without issue.
Screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) exchange discussing political pragmatism and the Overton window.
The initial post by onion person (@CantEverDie) reads:
> "doesn't matter, this is about what the right is able to push with the overton window. first its democrats needing to disavow trans women in sports to get elected, next it'll be agreeing to ban access to HRT to get elected. we've seen how this plays out"
> 
A reply from Nick Pappas (@NickAPappas) reads:
> "Are you insane? The Overton window didn’t even include this discussion until recently. The public has never been in favor of desegregating the sports by sex.
> Personally I’m glad Barack Obama ran against gay marriage in 2008. Not because that was the right position, or one he even actually held, but because he knew the public wasn’t with him on it. If he hadn’t won he wouldn’t have been able to appoint 2 of the justices who ultimately voted in the majority for Obergefell.
> Lincoln in 1860 didn’t even run on abolishing slavery! He just wanted to stop its expansion. And thankfully he did that and won because a more extreme and morally correct position would have lost. As a result he was able to win the Civil War and push through the 13 amendment.
> Political practicality is the entire history of progress in America. There’s no other way."

This strikes where I roughly am in practice on Talarico. Probably, when push comes to shove, trans people who are voting should vote for him. But we shouldn't lift a finger to campaign for him, and should use our voices to highlight that he sucks, then quietly and invisibly pull the lever anyway.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.
