We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

You can measure an economy's actual, real life, concrete health by: are people able to do their own weird shit?
Do they have money to survive doing their weird shit? Do they have the free time to do that weird shit?
Fuck the metrics, just look for the dirtbags and artists and musicians and writers

Tired: giving natural disasters ordinary names
Wired: naming natural disasters after billionaires who could, personally, afford to rebuild it all without the slightest change to their current way of life

getting close to the end of the funding campaign for Himukalt's SEX WORKS book, collecting years' worth of erotic photographs, collages, album art, and ephemera --the campaign is at 85%, so all hands are on deck for a final push in these last three days!

The “Haitians eat cats” thing is not just an appeal to racists. It’s an end-zone dance, a celebration of how far the American Right has successfully shoved the Overton Window back to where they can revel in being openly, overtly racist. It’s glee over the abandonment of pretense.

"... bribe has been offered and rejected. I cannot say whether this was a question of principle or price" is one of my favorite parts of this whole tale
Update: BIL is now negotiating with lorry driver. My requests to keep phone on speaker so I can here have been coldly rebuffed. I can however confirm that bribe has been offered and rejected. I cannot say whether this was a question of principle or price

NYT Fact Check: Starfleet, an organization that purports to champion the values of diversity and inclusion, constantly wars with the Borg, the most inclusive organization in the galaxy. Is this disqualifying hypocrisy? Maureen Dowd says yes.

If someone is being weird and harmful then it’s not ableist or weird to call them weird and harmful because weird and harmful is the hill THEY choose to throw them on as well as what they embrace. Words matter, can have multiple meanings & sometimes serve as VERY accurate descriptors and warnings.

Alright timeline cleanser time:
What are some bad movies that you unironically love? I don’t mean like MST3K love here. It’s not a good movie, but you enjoy it on its own merits anyway
I am starting with The Accountant
