We knew it would be bad
But wow
Someone grab the popcorn
Need to watch

We were not exaggerating
The country will be ruined
But at least it will be satisfying
To see them
Wake the fuck up
And say
Guess the libs were right
All along

Wouldn’t it be cool if
we lived in a world where
we all learned about the patches of plastic
the size of
Texas
in the ocean
and then all of the nations
came together and decided
to try and remove it from the water and place it on dry land.
clean our mess
This is the kind world I dream of.

If Jesus were alive today he would certainly not be standing on that inauguration stage with the feudal lords. He’d be in the trenches welcoming immigrants, trans, and queer people into safety. If you’re a Christian/Catholic and you believe differently- then you’re worshipping a diff religion.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

INSKEEP: Does the legislation match with what Floridians want?
GREEN: Not really. A new survey out this week from Florida Atlantic University shows that 90% of Floridians think that climate change is happening, and that's compared with 72% of all Americans who believe the same.

Christians believe a man in a dress can say a prayer over a piece of flat bread and transform it into the body of Christ.
But they struggle to believe trans people are telling the truth.
Odd.

Billionaires don’t care. Science has shown that a persons brain chemistry literally changes when they ascertain a certain level of wealth and power. They become less empathetic and more detached from reality. Zuck Musk and Besos literally do not have capacity to understand the common person. Cool.

Even if you disagree with gender affirming care
Despite the fact that kids denied it are far more likely to commit suicide
This ban not only creates inequity
The cost for treatment would-relatively speaking-be negligible
So really, the only reason to ban it is bigotry

Dear agents and writer community, how would you classify a novel that is technically speculative fiction, sci-fi without any classic sci-fi tropes, and has elements of fantasy?? I’m querying but worried I’m not capturing the book properly. Any help advice is 🙏🙏🙏

Anti-intellectualism is a key ingredient for Fascism to succeed. Also it’s always the conservatives who feel called to tell us how we should be living according to their values, but no one asked you to read this woman’s dissertation, or forced it upon you. Stop trying to force us to be like you.
Her Thesis on the ‘Politics of Smell’ Stirred the Online Masses. Here’s What She Thinks About It.
A University of Cambridge doctoral student went viral after celebrating the completion of her thesis. She spoke to The Chronicle about the bizarre, overwhelming response.

I created a fake X account called HumptyTrumpty just to troll for fun. Within days I was locked out of my account and then the account was given a label, meaning it gets less attention. So I guess free speech only applies when it’s convenient for Elon.
