We are not serious people. No one even asked us to fight for democracy - they asked us to give up a tenth of a percent of our income and we said that’s too much. We have chosen decline and chosen it with gusto
I don’t know if the bombings and blackouts just made me numb or if I’ve achieved enlightenment but I finally feel free to say everything I think about westerners and not be afraid of how they take it

No offence but I actually think it's the opposite, some of you have accepted "men are terrible" as such an automatic mantra you no longer react with an appropriate amount of horror at the horrifying. Doesn't exactly convince me you are good at facing emergences of that in your own social circles!

Saddened by the passing of @burgerbecky.bsky.social. She helped shape gaming as we know it today. If this world rewarded true artists and pioneers she would have died a millionaire. But at least she gave us a wealth of memories and history to hold on to www.youtube.com/live/7RrBGXa...

The 1/2 last toast from the legend herself:

Valhalla really really reeked of beer, but Jennell seems happy

The other angels are tired of me saying “fight for the other users” while throwing my halo around

This screenshot from @lastweektonight.com, itself a shot from CNN, perfectly encapsulates the disingenuous nature of reactionary and self-proclaimed "conservative" groups.

I'm a "mentally confused transformers", but, uh... "Concerned Women for America" couldn't find a WOMAN to go on CNN for them?

Anyway, if your reaction to all these men in power being revealed as intimately involved in a child sex trafficking ring is to be all "Well, ACTUALLY the *technical* term for raping children of this age is -" then I'm just gonna assume that you're a pedophile also.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

This is potentially a good thing to consider when you're talking about, I don't know, personal wardrobe choices or something. NOT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SEX, YOU FREAKING WEIRDOES!

FWIW I think HSAs are getting a lot of love from this administration because they help rich people and if qualified medical expenses include weird grifty stuff, then the govt is also effectively subsidizing a bunch of wellness products in lieu of making care affordable and accessible.
Excellent piece from @mirandayaver.bsky.social

“In practice, HSAs tend to benefit people w/ higher incomes… Furthermore, researchers…find that HSAs do not significantly benefit those who struggle with health care costs, and…they exacerbate the racial disparities the ACA has effectively reduced.”
Opinion | Trump’s new plan for Obamacare leaves Americans to fend for themselves
We finally know what “concepts of a plan” looks like – and it’s not good.

democratic voters wanted their party to shut down the government for myriad reasons — troops in american cities, masked thugs ripping families apart — but dem leaders insisted the wise thing to do politically was to stay hyper-fxated on this one thing, ACA tax credits. and then they just… gave up
