There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.
Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

I’m told that the results of a single election reflect a perfect, unchanging, and inescapable spirit of the Volk, so I will expect us all to start respecting the American people’s desire for Woke Maximalism.

I decided to imagine how a medieval monk illustrating a bestiary might envision a starfish if they had never seen one but only had vague and exaggerated written descriptions.

Prompt: Pierce
A Styracosaurus and a Pachycephalosaurus. The dinosaur nerd in me would like to note that both species are native to North America in the Late Cretaceous. So the scene you see here is 100% scientifically plausible.

A skeleton of a megaloceras, also known as the “Irish Elk” (a misnomer since it is neither specifically Irish nor is it an elk), an extinct species of deer that used to range across Eurasia.
