Watching people younger than me react to watching Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time is fun because they just go along with all the queer themes like it's totally normal. They seem to be mostly concerned that Rocky can't consent properly.

I think these guys believe that influence is a currency with a 1:1 exchange rate from right to left. Like they should be able to use their rewards points from one store at another.
If any motherfucker on the right or center wants to oppose Trump that's fine by me do your thing but I'm not gonna throw a parade for you.

I prefer the much more accurate Minbari proverb:
"Understanding is a three-edged sword: your side, their side, and the truth."
It doesn't imply that the truth is in the middle, but that it *is* there.

“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

"Can a man become a woman?" is not a question anyone asks in good faith as it's a complete misunderstanding of what being trans is. Absolutely a GOP op.

I wonder how many trees are destroyed each year to make chopsticks for American take-out restaurants that will never be used.

[Insert the Sarte quote here] The hypocrisy is the point. It's a signal that you're part of the in-group. My Democratic-Socialist-ass owns a shotgun and a handgun I got to deal with individual MAGAts showing up at my door. I always knew they'd be useless if the government or cops ever came knocking.
being a conservative grifter like this is crazy because how do you completely flip on one of your most central supposed beliefs like this. like this is absurd. does this not embarrassing them at all

I said I was going to avoid doomscrolling today, which has been *mostly* successful, but I have not posted any videos I like. So I'll start with this one. Yes, it's three hours. But it's an opera singer who analyzes vocal performances watching Rocky Horror for the very first time and it's *amazing*.

Abigail Spanberger was told to throw trans youth under the bus during her campaign. She refused to do so.
She won the election by 15 percent. A dominant victory. A landslide.
She was just sworn-in as the 75th Governor of Virginia, the first woman to lead the state.

California needs to secede anyway.
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”
