takes a republican to demand less healthcare for women in exchange for not raising health insurance premiums 🙄 oh you want affordable healthcare? what about no healthcare instead

i don’t know why everyone is acting upset Charlie Kirk got shot. He literally said gun deaths are worth it to protect the Second Amendment. He died (not confirmed) doing what he loved: defending the guns. And isn’t that what we should hope for everyone; that they go pursuing their passion?

The year is 2028. The election is canceled. Trump is declared supreme ruler of the United States of America (renamed the One Big Beautiful State of Trump). The pundits are all blindsided. A thousand thinkpieces emerge “How could we know Trump was going to do the thing he repeatedly said he would do”

prepositions are so weird. for example, you ride IN a car but you ride ON a bus. Donald Trump is ON the White House roof and IN the Epstein Files

everyone accusing Dems of being “vote blue no matter who” are about to be proven wrong. it’s not “vote blue no matter who.” apparently it’s “vote blue unless blue is a muslim brown man then vote for the corrupt sexual predator running as an independent spoiler bc he doesn’t get the concept of no”

the heat is a ESTABLISHMENT plot to keep the PEOPLE from voting so Cuomo wins. Even Trump knows Democrats obviously control the weather. Stick it to the EsablishmentDems by getting out to vote for Mamdani today

AIPAC being like “we must stand with our ally…to protect its families”
Fucking Why. They fucking started it. You excuse an ongoing genocide for a year and a half under the guise of “israel has a right to defend itself” well then so does fucking Iran.

i need NYC to get its shit together and not vote for Cuomo in this primary
bc Cuomo is a sexually abusive corrupt mini Trump, but i think he’s still better than Eric Adams. And i believe in voting for the lesser of two evils but if I have to vote for Cuomo in the general imma be real bitter

young conservatives thinking it’s “harder to come out as conservative than gay in nyc” are both self-victimizing and homophobic, but at least they’re good at multitasking

you ever think about how much the MAGA right seems to look down on white people? like they hate minorities and think they are useless meritless hacks. and yet, they also seem to think white people are so weak they cannot compete with minorities unless they are give special government treatment

i know brendan fraser is an actor and has many accomplishments and awards and such, but to me, his seminal and most important work will always be the narrator for the dragon rider audiobook by cornelia funke

sometimes i say “if that makes sense” at the end of a long text bc *i* am self conscious that i am talking nonsense. and sometimes i say “if that makes sense” as i kind way of being like “i can’t tell if you’re too stupid to get my point”

also…i haven’t seen a single person say we should “tolerate and excuse” the stephen king joke. it’s a bad joke. it’s a racist joke. all i’ve seen is, maybe we don’t need to cancel stephen king. he’s shown allyship in the past, we should hold him accountable but we shouldn’t throw him out bc #bigtent

thread really is insufferable and i’m convinced the only reason bsky isn’t (for me) is bc no one pays attention to me here…which like, i think. may be a telling insight on my relationship with many-to-many platforms in general

if nothing else, canceling people is annoying bc it destroys any intelligible discourse. you agree everything about the person is bad or you support them. doesn’t matter how critical you are. if you don’t fully commit to the ideal they are The Worst, you are on their side and therefore also terrible

retreating here here bc i said on threads the stephen king joke was bad and we should hold allies accountable but maybe we shouldn’t try to “cancel” him bc we’re trying to build a “big tent”
