Can someone who’s not a chud or a tankie give me a reason to be cynical about Carney’s housing thing he announced today because it seems pretty decent compared to what I would’ve expected from the Libs

I like when things are brown. Sometimes it means they’re chocolate, or a dog. But then of course there’s poop.

Not topical and I’m not the target demographic here, but if Chappel Roan’s “The Giver” doesn’t make you feel unbounded joy I think you should hit yourself in the face for a million years until you die.

The thing about the Who’s On First routine is that it’s premised on there being a guy whose last name is literally I Don’t Know. An 8-year-old could come up with something better

I wrote about tariffs and the longstanding conservative desire for conflict and strife, even when it doesn't seem to make any sense.

I think of this whenever some conservative finds some supposedly wacky research topic that government grants pay for

Saudi Arabia just bought Pokémon GO, and probably all of your location data with it.

The federal funding freeze is impacting virtually every American and probably most people on earth either directly or indirectly and the dems are twiddling their thumbs and voting to confirm his cabinet

factually, people in america create the most art during time periods where a flop apartment costs two hundred dollars
"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

I highly recommend this piece by Kelly Hayes about how to face these coming days of ramped-up American fascism. She does not shy away from the harsh reality but offers a great moral and practical blueprint, one that may also be less rough on your nervous system. Thank you @mskellymhayes.bsky.social!
I wrote about Trump's executive orders, including his attacks on trans and undocumented people, and how we should be orienting ourselves to defy fascist violence in this moment. This piece includes commentary from @chasestrangio.bsky.social and @silkys13.bsky.social.
A Brutal Beginning: Orienting Ourselves Amid the Shock and Awe
We must be prepared to live and act defiantly, deriving no legitimacy from the illegitimate brutes who would govern us.
