I know you're joking, but it's not a neurodivergence thing, it's a class thing. Rich people are very careful with their diets. There's no greater social faux-pas than being fat.

But that doesn’t even explain what if anything Bouie did. It’s just a trans person alleging that Bouie tells trans people to shut up. Why should anyone care if there are no receipts?

@nytgames.bsky.social PLACABLE and PLAICE are both words. What the hell?

A significant number of Americans think that being racist should be free speech but calling someone racist should not be.

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.

So a prominent cognitive psychologist thinks men are smart because of a cliche invented by Hollywood, women only think about if they're fat or what kind of purse they have, and even when presented with a brilliant woman up close, assume it must be because a man was near her.

How insurrectionists should be treated.

Any Dem that comes in without a plan for court reform will effectively be a lame duck on day 1, who will spend 4 years giving orders to agencies that the Supreme Court tears up and reverses with the help of burrowed right wing bureaucrats.

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

I see mutual aid bluesky has found this.

A broad social safety net that takes care of everyone's basic needs is fairer and more equitable than a network of privatized interpersonal charity in which people's benefits depend on their ability to accumulate internet clout and perform abjection online.

No, it’s about soft power. Pelosi mattered. Pelosi was able to convince people to do what she wanted, whip votes. Schumer is useless because he thinks it’s 1970.

I read that excerpt and it sounds like a horrible indictment of not getting vaccinated. I didn't see any indication the article was framing anti-vaxxers as lefties.

Minnesota House DFL @mnhousedfl.bsky.social + Follow DFL Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.** He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children.

Of course

This Claremont twit is saying ICE should act more like the literal, original Nazis, both for moral reasons and because Germany famously won WW2.

(1/X) A lot of Bari's shtick is performative fun-having. No one is excited about making out with Bari Weiss's wife. But it sounds excitingly transgressive especially to men of a certain age.

One of Bari's big things is...

Don't GLP1s disrupt this pattern, assuming you take them forever?

The libertarian argument would be people, even minors, can do whatever they want to their bodies and if they regret it later, too bad, it's not the doctors' job to stop them. That's very different from the trans argument that transition is medically necessary to stop people from harming themselves.

The right has all the power in America, but they want to be elite liberals so bad.

Are you making a libertarian argument for trans rights?

Nose jobs are a personal choice. No doctor has ever claimed a minor will commit suicide if she doesn't get a nose job. No one has ever claimed a nose job is medically and psychologically necessary.

If you accept transitioning is like a nose job, you're saying people do it frivolously.

The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.

Anyway congrats to our Free Speech Champions(tm) who helped usher in the most censorious American government since the Palmer Raids

Stand With Minnesota Donation Directory Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

Here are some ways to help Minnesota with all the essential but less visible needs.

But also, go get involved with your own community. Make new friends. Get those networks going. Learn what orgs in your city are already doing good work that needs support. Don't wait.

But state level is different from federal. And Biden moved pretty far left with pressure.

If not her, who? Isn't MN full of moderate Democrats?

What's so bad about her? Genuinely asking.

What's so bad about Klobuchar? She seems like a very normie Democrat.

Governor of MN is a big deal. If the Trump regime is to ever be reckoned with, there will have to be a lot of state prosecutions. I think Klobuchar would do them with enough pressure. If not her, who?

Beware.

Why the abundance hate?

YIMBY/abundance is literally the only thing that will save the left. Cities and blue states are bleeding population because it’s expensive to build there. The only way to defeat fascism is to make cities bigger and the only way that happens is abundance.

Trump has destroyed all of America's major alliances and we are likely headed for a new era of Western regional conflict if not a world war. But sometimes the BlueSky wine moms are just so cringe. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Because in 2024 we talked about how Trump was crazy and evil, and he won, because (the theory goes) of grocery prices. So now we talked about grocery prices.
