I Don't Speak German
Daniel Harper is a researcher who goes where few others can bear to go: he listens to what the reactionaries - from the IDW to the modern day Nazis - say to each other in *their* safe spaces! In this...

I am the co-host - with my friend and comrade @danielharper.bsky.social - of a podcast called (rather eccentrically) 'I Don't Speak German'. It's about the far-right... which, sadly, is a much less niche category than when we started in 2019. idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

I suspect we are in the early days of a religious reformation which will see faiths realigning not along doctrinal lines but upon overtly political ones. In the coming epochal shift, the Right-wings of different faiths, certainly of different denominations, will ally and at least partially merge.

When RFK Jr asks "Where's Kid?" in that video he's actually just quoting Donald Trump at Epstein's island.

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.
He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

All judgements of political or moral value aside, there was never any such thing as a single civilisation stretching from Socrates, through Caesar and Christ, to Donald Trump. The idea is the most pitiful gibberish. It is a concept that debunks itself. It is less than meaningless.

The centrists would rather lose to the right than win with the left and/or the oppressed. That's what a centrist is.

...when trans ppl tell you they won't vote for Newsom, as a Democrat, your first reflex shouldn't be to berate trans ppl. if you think that way, then you are either a transphobe or a BAD COALITION PARTNER. seriously if you want Dems to win, THEN WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO ALIENATE PART OF YOUR COALITION?

Just a pair of strasserites licking each others' taints
George Galloway says he wants Jimmy Dore to run for President.
"It's the legend himself, Jimmy Dore. Political commentator, comedian, host of The Jimmy Dore Show, and one day, I hope, a candidate for the presidency of the United States of America."

This is why, after I first looked properly at AI art, it gave me a series of the most horrible nightmares I've ever had. In my dreams, the nightmare images that derive from AI have a particular smell: a sort of combination of foul human body odour and rubber.
What could go wrong using AI to help stage a few listing photos?

What they mean is "We want the kids locked into the trajectory we choose rather than free to explore any others". As always with reactionary bullshit, the 'arguments' are word games based on projection.
"if they socially transition too early we think they can get locked onto a trajectory that may not have been the correct natural trajectory for them"

God forbids us to eat from the Tree of Knowledge and thus learn of Good and Evil, and prevents us eating from the Tree of Life and thus becoming immortal. He does not want us to become like him: knowing and undying. This has been called jealousy. Maybe it was mercy. Perhaps being God is a curse.

This is nothing more than asking the Dems to commit to supporting basic legal equality and non-discrimination. This should not be difficult for a party that claims to champion the modern liberal tradition.
Again, all I'm asking is that any Democrat who wants my vote support 1. Reverting Trump's anti-trans policies, 2. Commit to fighting against the future erosion of trans rights, and 3. Support legislation codifying trans rights into law.
Very weird how many of you centrists think that's unreasonable
