The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

As for who Singal is, here's a good summary (and it has only gotten worst since)
He's a transphobe bigot who is operating in the same sphere as Klein and such and thus has social capital and who is using it to attack trans people.

So I'd like to show a demonstration of what this "waffles" thing is. Here's a conversation between *this site's* CEO, some random guy, and the cofounder of "Tangled", a GitHub clone built on top of Bluesky's protocol.
Please take a moment to really think, about the shape of this thoughtlessness.

The key problem with what Ezra Klein says here is that he fails – or is unwilling – to grapple with the fundamental reality of the political conflict: The movement that dominates today’s Right fully rejects the very idea of “living here with each other” as equals. That’s their defining position.
"All I can say for me in the work I do is that I want to create a space that takes our disagreements seriously, that takes the stakes of them seriously, the consequences for people seriously, but does so without deepening our divisions irreparably. We are going to have to live here with each other"

Democrats will never be as cruel as Republicans after a political assassination. That’s to their credit. But it may not be to their advantage.

I am firmly on the side of "it doesn't matter if it is conscious, our humanity demands we treat human-like things as human".
This is like asking whether cats and dogs can recognize themselves in the mirror to decide if animal abuse is bad. Don't dwell on minutiae to miss the bigger picture.

Wifi is ~6 watts. Taking a walk is ~300 watts, and food requires roughly 10x the fossil fuel energy as the calories it supplies. So sitting on your couch on the wifi is about 500x better for your carbon emissions than taking a walk.

We don’t have a president, we have a mad king. Shaking down businesses, demanding ransom money, and presenting himself awards he never earned and doesn’t deserve, while his servile flock of toadies run around going “Yes, sir! Very good, sir!”

Trump: Since 1978 the Kennedy Center honors have been amongst the most prestigious awards. I wanted one, never able to get one. I would have taken it. I waited and waited and waited and I said to hell with it, I'll become chairman. I will give myself an honor. Next year we'll honor trump, okay?

FYI, if you're concerned about all of the mRNA vaccine misinformation spreading everywhere, it's a good idea to stop sharing Taylor Lorenz as a source on anything, because it's inadvertently helping legitimize the wildly unscientific mRNA vaccine misinformation she keeps posting.

but the people complaining about fairness are by and large the people the who want to restrict or eliminate all access to HRT and puberty blockers. and we are in the midst of years long national “debate.” because it’s not a good faith argument, it’s a moral panic designed to punish vulnerable groups

re: fairness, there are simple steps that can be taken, like “let them practice with the team but not compete until they’ve been on HRT for [x] months or got puberty blockers” and it’s something that, given the 15 or so kids we are talking about, shouldn’t be a years long national debate

Democrats across the country are working to protect trans youth from Trump's unlawful attacks.
Hopefully the cool kids On Here will revise their opinions on Dems' stance towards us, but I won't hold my breath.
