This is the logical end result of the grade-school kerfuffles of my youth, where parents would claim 'religious intolerance' due to their kids ignoring Biology class and demanding that Mendelian genetics and evolution aren't real, because God, then getting zeroes.

Same damn thing.

Please and thank you! I remember the Al Franken situation from years ago. He got OUSTED, and hard, by the Dems, pressured to resign for being a sex pest. And rightly so.

The Dems shouldn't be afraid to get rid of their abusers. If they are, they need to take a long look at themselves.

Not that Lewisville was *that* much better, in my memory...!

(Says a girl who spent a good chunk of her time at Hedrick in one of the barely air-conditioned externals, and just trying to keep her head down at LHS.)

The last sentence in that conversation tells us that if a landlord is not renting out their unit because they're not convinced that they'll get a suitable return on it, *then they're getting a better return from not renting out their unit.*

And that needs to come to an end.

Hey, at least they're demonstrating consistency. No matter who's in charge, the Democrats are _always_ at fault, right?

Even if I could win a confrontation with Bugs Bunny, I can guarantee that whatever happened next would not be a positive experience for me.

Buffalo Bill! There's a stamp on my bingo card that I haven't punched for a very long time.

Thank you very much for clarifying your stance on human rights as they relate to legality and the whims of the majority. I daresay we can call it at that.

And that's beside the point. His agreement signified a willingness to act against us in pursuit of that 'bigger tent', and so I have very little reason to trust him or his -- and neither should anyone who holds intersectionality and basic human dignity to be meaningful.

Interview with Charlie Kirk, March 2025, 75-minute interview. (Hey, look, relevant to current affairs.) Newsom agreed that trans folks should not be provided gender-affirming medical care when incarcerated, whether they be migrants or federal prisoners in general.

It has yet to be shut against Republicans who are willing to kill me and mine. Newsom, for example, is quite happy to host them on his podcast, agreeing copiously with them when they claim that human rights shouldn't extend to trans people.

This tent is moth-eaten, rotten, and has a swastika on it.

The study also completely forgot the murder of Melissa Hortman and her husband, as well as the shooting of John and Yvette Hoffman. But surely that's okay: the whole media did, too.

I'm just going to chalk it up to left-wing killers being exemplified while right-wing ones are quietly buried.

Ah, but you see, those were after July. I expect the powers that be will shortly be or already are redefining terrorist attacks and politically-motivated violence to ignore any mass murders and bombings committed by right-wing-- ahem. "Lone wolves."

I find it incredibly helpful to remind people that fascists are human beings because it means *they made the choice to be fascists.*

That also means they can make a conscious choice to turn their hate spigots off. Nobody will blame a cat for eating a can of tuna, but fascists have no such excuse.

Remember! It's OMEGA's left, not yours!

Trump was, is, and has been Christian enough for millions of Christians to vote for him, and all his very Christian cohort. So what if he doesn't know which end of a Bible to hold?

Besides, No True Scotsman has been used by apologetics to handwave their own flock's evils for, oh, ever...

When the various groups have opted to accept killing us all as an option on the table, anything *less* becomes moderate by comparison.

*That* is the reality we are facing: the general acceptance that 'trans people are a problem', and the 'solutions' presented in their varying inhumanities.

"Elmo wants to know why nobody can do a good Elmo impersonation! Is it THAT difficult to use Elmo as both noun AND pronoun?!"
... I must confess, while I was typing that, I was actually doing the voice IRL.

I can still suggest CoH/CoV: the Homecoming servers has NCSoft's blessing to operate, so it's nice to go back to one's roots. And make punny characters.

Though good heavens, it's a reminder of just how much QoL has come about since...

It may be worth noting that this is in direct parallel to the ways in which an individual being poor is more expensive than being rich. Lacking a cushion for stability, even the smallest downturn can become cataclysmic, and chain into the collapse of a person, a family... or a community.
