The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Bovine refers to animals in the subfamily Bovinae, cattle, bison, buffalo, and related antelopes, characterized by cloven hooves and often horns, known for their slow, placid, or sometimes dull demeanor. “Bovine” also describes dull, cow-like traits in humans.

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

Is America great yet? Cos it sure feels like we’re devolving rapidly.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.
USPS Announces Changes to the Postmark Date System

Hey Bluesky friends do whatever you can to watch Chloe Zhao’s HAMNET. It’s a masterpiece. It will turn you inside out.

I think the most easily boycott-able Trump-complicit entity, is CBS. We don't "need" to watch it. I might miss watching a major NFL game, but that's it. IMO, it's MUCH easier to boycott CBS than Amazon. Weiss is SO f*cking detestable. And smugly so.
We're not talking about boycotting them enough.

Tomorrow is the 6th night of Hanukkah (aka Chag HaBanot / Festival of the Daughters). On this night Jews light an extra candle to celebrate strong, heroic women in history. I can’t think of a better way to honor that than by the DOJ following the law and releasing the fully unredacted Epstein Files.

Burisma, Hunter’s laptop, my fucking ass. I can’t even.
Jared Kushner is back at the center of Trumpworld, mixing foreign policy, war zone “reconstruction,” and massive media deals. From Middle East negotiations to a bid for CNN, the conflicts of interest are staggering and the stakes could not be higher.
The Disturbing Return Of The Prodigal Son-In-Law
Jared Kushner is so back, and what he's up to should concern us all.

Rob Reiner started his career as the moral center of a hateful world. His life and work carried that spirit for generations. Losing him now, in such a violent way—as authoritarianism tightens its grip, oligarchs consolidate their greed, and Hollywood gets stripped for parts—feels profoundly unjust.
