“Why did your character do that?”
“She’s a bad-decisions machine. She was expertly crafted in a lab to make bad decisions. She’s reckless because she never learned to care about herself and she’s flighty because she never internalised that other people care and— She just makes bad decisions, okay?”

If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

Every time someone talks about safety nets, healthcare, ubi, trans rights, taxing the rich, prison reform, dei, they're called hate-mongering dangerous radicals. Every time someone calls for public hangings or kidnapping and stranding people in countries they've never been, they're called unorthodox
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.
“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

"Demeaning" trans people is exactly right. Their goal--and what they're most able to easily achieve--is our humiliation. The imposition of indignities. They also hope that, as humiliations often do, it exposes us to ridicule. Perhaps even violence. (e.g. forcibly outing people on their IDs).
It's really frustrating that a lot of the media just sort of frames the Trump admin as "wading into a hot debate over trans issues that have roiled american politics" when it's like, clear that they are motivated by a desire to demean trans people

IMO, the best framework for understanding all of this infighting is that Tucker, Candace, TPUSA, Fuentes, and the Daily Wire are fighting over their respective audience shares of the relatively small number of people interested in consuming their nonsense.

Um, cocaine floats less well than an average human. It’s density is 1216 kg per cubic meter. Humans are 1062 kg per cubic meter. Water is 1000 kg per cubic meter. Less dense things float better, more dense sink.

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

I'll never get used to sheer, unadulterated meanness of this administration. They're completely unconcerned about lifting people up and solely focused on tearing people down. It is a movement that is absolutely devoid of a moral center. We need to present a clear moral vision in opposition.

It’s clear from the video this woman had just come to the park to play with her child. She said as much and was upset that there were masked men with guns in the park.
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino calls the woman an “activist” and Andy Ngo says the woman was using her child as a “human shield.”

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Don't blame the turner diaries troglodytes literally dismantling the Department of Education, blame the 11 year old with ADHD who needs an extra 30 minutes for the test.
So they're just transparently starting the drumbeat against a new vilified group just like they did with trans athletes, racial minority students, MeToo/BLM/anti-genocide activists, etc. right?
There always needs to be a group who's "unfairly taking your kid's spot"

The invisible labor of people admin, being an asst, & caretaking, is like being Penny + Brain the Dog in Inspector Gadget. The inspector never has a clue 80% of the time his ass is managed - and saved - by Penny and Brain.
He's allowed to do his job without ever needing to thinking of the details

But they way he crosses it: Brain the Dog has two footplates on posts that he balances Gadget on as Gadget takes each step, while Brain is doing the actual highwire balancing and crossing act.
