. . . Where the hell is my “Save the Texas Prairie Chicken” button. Why do I live in a timeline where I have to put that on unironically. We are not being the people Papa Nez believed we could be.
The Endangered Species Act is under fire in Texas.
Texas just killed one endangered species listing. More could be next.

I voted for him the second time and seriously. He’s already on the shit list for either seriously abusing his political positions for sexual favors, or being such a solipsistic horndog it never occurred to him that someone might *not* immediately want to drop their panties for him. (Or both.)
GOP greatly overestimates the number of fucks GenX and younger give about Bill Clinton.

it's going to be so "cool" when the 2060 historians have to write a history of the evolution of trumpism into radical authoritarian populism, they're going to have to include gamergate as like, prehistory
Gamergate never stopped, it's just in the White House now tbh

Men: Whatever doesn’t kill me leaves me desperately trying to justify being traumatized in the first place
Yeah nope. Looking at all the families having to deal with unresolved trauma the men in their lives refuse to get help for.

this is why there's a persistent propaganda campaign in conservative media to portray cities as crime-ridden hellholes, because rural conservatives understanding how conservative politics have fucked up their own communities would be devastating to them.
the biggest force for rural resentment of cities in the last three decades is that cities got way better and the countryside got way worse.

I am going to tear my hair out over this. There is no nuance. This is how they start. With trans people (sex/gender), with black people (race), and with Muslims (religion). Whenever fascists get pushback from the mainstream, they scurry back to square one.
My Threads mentions are full of ostensible liberals telling me I’m missing the “nuance” when it comes to trans kids playing sports.
It’s not a matter of discrimination, they say. Trans folks are such a small percentage of the population, it’s a losing issue, they say.

No sorry I will not allow treating transgender people as anything less than full and equal members of American society be characterized as purity and something to be papered over to defeat the right. If people like Buttigieg and Newsom want to throw those rights under the bus we have more options.

The crux of their argument is that if they're found liable, then the consequences of their own actions that no one forced them to take could ruin them and the rest of their industry that undertakes similar practices.

Could have used South Park being slightly anti-fascist last year. This year, it's just a lagging indicator that everybody who loves to talk shit knows Trump and MAGA will eventually come for them.

Of note: NCOSE is what they started calling themselves after a rebrand. Before that they were the openly evangelical Christian watchdog group Morality in Media. They've intentionally branded themselves in a way that seems, at a glance, more professional and less extreme.
NCOSE takes a swing. As I predicted, they're a key player in all of this. They've been obsessed with Steam since 2018, when Steam actually opened the door to adult content after NCOSE tried to get a ton of visual novels (like HuniePop) pulled
