We need to accept that, when it comes to herd immunity and vital public health, that there can be NO vaccine exemptions except when the exemption is the decision of a qualified doctor. Fuck religious exemptions. Fuck conscience exemptions. Impose consequences that hurt. Suspend driving licenses.

Every little while I search Bluesky to see who is vacationing in Dubai and then I ask them if it wouldn't be more efficient to murder Sudanese babies directly than to do it so indirectly.
No one has agreed with me yet, but it would save them a lot of money.

Even his own children and grandchildren will be like, "Oh fuck yes. Give me a glock."

It must be horrible to be a Democrat who supports the shutdown and desperately wants that milquetoast party to actually fight against authoritarian takeover and see Chuck Schumer getting ready to respond.
Schumer is both incompetent and unconcerned. The country might fail but Chuck will be fine.

I know people think Musk only bought Twitter to help the rise of fascism.
While that’s important, I still think it’s secondary to his primary goal, which was to own the place where his fans praise him.
With AI, Musk’s use of the platform for love and validation is only getting more transparent.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Thinking about reading this civil war history because I really like its spirit. Sherman's march should have been repeated over every southern state, back and forth, devastating them so that they would never have dared to continue terrorizing freed slaves.

The New York Times platforms Ross Douthat on "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?" (later edited)... What a total piece of shit newspaper. It has a few bright spots to prop up an otherwise intellectually indefensible, deeply dishonest piece of shit rag.

Carney was wrong to apologize for the Reagan ad, just as he has been wrong about the best way to approach the US slide into Oligarchical authoritarianism and grift. He needs to explain that pulling away from the US will be painful, but worth it.

The US Army is advising service members in Germany to go to German foodbanks during the shutdown. Seriously. Trump can find money to keep funding fucking ICE, but service members are advised to seek nutrition from a foreign government who is not responsible for their well-being.

Police misconduct (crimes) has cost Los Angeles nearly $400 million since 2019.
