Every once in a while I see people debating which of the Ninja Turtles would get duped into the manosphere (usually Donnie) but I reject this premise cuz they all grew up with an emotionally available father who was extremely present in their upbringing and made their education his top priority.

Currently watching women on TikTok spiral into obsessive psychosis over Heated Rivalry because it’s their first ever BL fandom (?!) and they’re so overwhelmed with emotions and horniness they don’t know how to conduct themselves, lmao

I kind of feel like an asshole because I didn’t really get the hype for Heated Rivalry for the first 4 episodes…I kept thinking, “fanfiction has been doing this for decades, what’s the big deal?” Then I watched the last 2 episodes and realized how much they recontextualized the first 4

Let me tell you how my evening is going. I wanted to watch Heated Rivalry, but I unsubscribed from HBO Max about a year ago. My friend gave me his login information so I could watch it. I turn on my Roku TV and open the HBO Max app…and it will only let me resubscribe with my previous account.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is
More than 34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be trained as ICED observers with various activist groups in recent weeks, many of them since Jan. 7, when a federal agent shot and killed Renée Good.
Thousands of new ICE watchers hit the streets after two killings
Minnesotans outraged by the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti have signed up in large numbers to monitor and protest ICE with other activists.

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.
disturbingly plausible

love when there’s a newspaper profile of some psychopath that points out they allow themselves “a lone vice, like a single cup of black coffee in the morning.” personally I am a bundle of trash glued together by vices. they’re all load-bearing

I mean this is exactly the kind of cringe that I think we’ll need to shamelessly and unironically embrace moving into a future of unabashed civic virtue, I feel that on the whole irony-poisoning and rejection of sincerity as embarrassing is part of how we got here
okay it's cheesy but

"it's our blood and bones
and whistles and phones
against Miller and noem's dirty lies"

got me right in the heart

Ah yes, Mainers: a people never known for their stubbornness and insistence on doing things the hard, right way. I'm sure these strong-arm tactics will have their intended effect on a state with the motto of, last I checked, "Well that's your problem right there" said in a cutting Downeast accent.
ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

The regime obviously thought they'd be able to take out a few dozen scary-queer-weirdo Antifa types in black masks and then successfully cow the rest of the Coastal Elite Liberal class into terrified silence: they were not expecting "totally fearless mass nonviolent resistance by entire cities."
It also sounds like at least some of them thought the cameras wouldn't matter because they were assuming that a couple of public executions would cause all of the resistance to run and hide.

"oh no, we successfully got Americans used to the constant specter of gun violence in their daily lives, and now they're not scared of OUR guns."
There's a video of protesters outside a Hilton last night, and some ICE goons point rifles at them, and the protesters don't move. You can almost see the goons bluescreen in that moment, like, they have zero plan for what to do next, when people are not 'properly' cowed and submissive to them.
