They think "punk rock" means anti-social in the most literal sense. Look at me parking in a handicapped spot and smoking a cigarette in a movie theater! Punk rock! You're not punk rock you're a fucking psychopath

This is a non sequitur. Baldwin is saying the white evangelical churches act in racist ways, & redlining is racist. And he’s saying it doesnt matter if individuals in those groups profess to be tolerant if their policies are racist. The orig post was saying “give up.” Unrelated. 1/

The thing people don't get is that when Sec 230 is repealed, platforms could become much more restrictive in their moderation to avoid legal risk. Smaller platforms like BSky might struggle to survive due to higher compliance/legal costs and some lawful content might be removed preemptively.

PSV is crawling to the end of the season and a third consecutive national title. Still, let’s not forget that, so far, they scored 70 goals in 24 games of which they have played only a handful with a fit striker!

The GOP is teeming with pedophiles & you know what?

So much wrong with this framing, but what does "valid" even mean in this context? If they can target people for it, it's an identity in every meaningful sense. When they say the debate is about whether the identity is "valid," what they mean is the debate is about whether you can be punished for it.

Easy automatic block for me for anyone who says Tucker Carlson has a point about Israel. Israel has made itself a genocidal state. I don’t need a babbling fascist to know that especially when he speaks in the service not of antizionism but Holocaust-justifying antisemitism.

“Sky and Amanda are the brother and sister-in-law, respectively, of the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s international trafficking ring. Ms. Roberts Giuffre was instrumental in bringing Epstein’s crimes to light and inspiring fellow survivors to speak out.”

I worked in the Newberry’s special collections in college and remember handing a man a book in Cherokee. He became visibly overwhelmed with emotion and it’s always stuck with me. So thrilled these materials are getting the care and attention they deserve.

“A day after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor … was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, the pride Sky Roberts holds for his sister is difficult to hide.” “We’re seeing her as a truthteller, and I’m happy the world is seeing that, too,” he said. “It shows we have more work to do.”

Future generations are gonna be like "how did they look at pictures like this and not immediately know what was about to happen" And my generation will tell various lies about what things were like right now but the truth, of course, is that on some level we did all know

“Sky Roberts later stood by her when she accused Prince Andrew, once second in line to the throne, of abuse. He supported his sister as she told her story over and over, even when people dismissed and disparaged her.” www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

A few thoughts about GlyphoGate. First, it amazes me that the EPA said "climate change isn't real, Big Coal is back!" and MAHA stans were dead silent. Glyphosate is directly tied into their product line (and worldview). So now they feel betrayed, and are all spinning out of control. /1

As people have been saying for some time, it's not merely about sports or healthcare, it is about pushing an entire group of people out of public life.

Will always remember watching Michael Knowles call for the “eradication of transgenderism” at CPAC … news outlets reported (correctly) that what he was calling for was the eradication of trans *people* but then bowed to pressure from Knowles’ lawyers at Daily Wire to change/hedge

This is why I'm tired of the endless "but you have to understand where they're coming from" pieces. I do understand. I grew up with them, they're my neighbors, they got online to try to get me fired after a school board meeting. The only consistancy is power and the willingness to wield it.

Huckabee is a genocidally-minded Christian Zionist fascist. Carlson is a genocidally-minded antisemitic fascist. You don’t need to platform the latter to critique the former. I love the Holler, & trust they don’t mean it like this—but they shld be aware of how it’ll be received by many.

Is this some kind twisted magick-with-a-k by Alan Moore to punish those who said V for Vendetta was a caricature? Or is it actually a stealth announcement of Australia’s plan to conquer the UK? (AC/DC seems an odd choice for “restoring Britain.” If only they had a rock tradition of their own!)

As a talking head in a streaming documentary series in 2024, I wasn’t allowed (by the streamer; director similarly constrained) to mention Trump. Back in 2019, Netflix PR told me to avoid politics & religion in interviews about THE FAMILY, which is about politics & religion.

Trump's hurt feelings. His narcissistic [re]injury. That's the problem the new tariff is meant to solve.

While I usually just ignore this stuff, I think it's worth considering the relationship to a broad culture of deferentialism that helped facilitate fascist state capture in the first place. Waiting for institutions to confirm what we know & see right in front of us will never advance liberation.
