NEWS — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear criticizes fellow Democrats who say transgender athletes should be barred from women’s sports. “That is not the party that we are. We start as a party of compassion and empathy.”

Vote for the candidate most likely to be influenced by your activism. …This of course includes actually going and doing the activism! That includes criticism, organizing, etc. This would never work with Paxton. Talarico can be swayed! Your vote increases your credibility, not vice versa.

Just once in my life I would like to see a Democrat being interviewed by right wing media like Fox News or right wing media like every single other outlet treat their questions with the contempt they deserve. I know it's not going to fix everything or maybe even anything but how much coverage and how much groundswell of excitement from the base do you think it would inspire if when asked about "boys in girls sports" or some other stupid fucking culture war distraction one of them finally said "What the fuck are you talking about man? You sound like a dumb asshole right now."

What's the worst that's going to happen the New York Times is gonna work overtime to make sure you don't get elected? They were already doing that buddy.

You simply say "Are you stupid? Do you think I am stupid? And do you think all of the people watching at home are stupid? Everyone sees through what you are doing. Using one group as a scapegoat for the very real problems everyone has – all caused by Republicans by the way – unlike this fake one you have made up. Dumb asshole."

Just go on the attack for once instead of sitting there trying to please your enemy who is in the process of trying to humiliate you.

And if you want to say something else true that almost no Democrat ever says for some reason you can top it off with a “Every single Republican in our lifetime has sought to make our lives worse in every way possible. I’d like to try to stop that.”

I'm Jewish and if a candidate triangulated on antisemitism to win an election, I would most certainly pressure him to do better *right now* and would hope my fellow Americans would do the same. I see no reason why our trans siblings and those who support them should demand anything different.

There are so many levels to this number from THE MUPPET SHOW that endear it to me, from the choice of song (with a decidedly mature subject matter), to bringing in Peter Sellers’ actual skill as a drummer. And it features not a single member of what you’d consider the main cast...

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

For me, the biggest takeaway from Sophie Cunningham’s hard launch into the right-wing culture wars is how *lucrative* bigotry is now. There’s an entire conservative media ecosystem that will turn anyone willing to make transphobia their personal brand into a well-compensated star.

Showing for the next couple months in Austin, this group show at Springdale General's Art for the People Gallery with three of my aluminum black and white prints for sale. The one shown is was a photo taken in the middle of Big Bend National Park. #BigBendNPS

Pormotional Poster for the show 'Spirit of Space' and Art for the People Gallery in Austin, TX. The image is a black and white image of a square wall of a concrete building viewed from outdoors. The building sits in the South Texas desert, and is crumbling, with a dramatic cloudy sky above and the desert all around. (the building is one of the old structures built to house miners at the Mariscal Mine, now situated in Big Bend National Park)

So many things are shitty right now, especially what is being done to my favorite wilderness in Big Bend National Park, but there is still whimsy and joy if you look for it. Last night I paddled the 30 piece Minor Mishap Marching Band in 13 canoes and they played a show on the water. Fun!

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.
