HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
This is very good. The song it’s about is astonishing. If this song is about God (and I believe it is) & if God manifests in different ways for different people, take a terrifying gander at how God will come to the malefactors. Listen before reading. youtu.be/RX6Xni32dmY?...
Amazing. Devastating.
I think this pairs nicely with it. Extremely similar themes and righteous anger.

I *really* don't want to be a downer but to me the precursor to Doing is Saying, and not nearly enough of this Party is saying what needs to be said. About punishing the villains, about abolishing billionaires, about ending elite impunity. Too many want to leave the rot but change the branding
Belatedly changed my avatar. My old one was of a great character played by a guy who’s now taking the poisoned JK/HBO money for the new HP show. Should have changed it a long time ago.
It’s going to sound hyperbolic but this is one of the most beautiful pieces of art ever created. I ugly cry every time I watch it. If you’ve never seen it, I insist you go see the subtitled version* if it’s playing near you.

*trust me on this, the performances are better
when a Democrat is president the GOP is a single NO vote regardless of how innocuous the bill, but when the tables are turned it's "how can we help provide bipartisan cover for your worst proposals?"
there is literally nothing wrong with being trans and anyone who says otherwise is a fascist who would kill and/or enslave your entire family at a moment's notice
remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination
I need a fellow Podcast: The Ride freak to remind me which episode has the first telling of the “Sloppy Telly” Savalas story. Coming up empty on searches because the Internet sucks now.
You can't solve any of this in a meaningful or lasting way if you keep capitalism. Trump is only a symptom and replacing him with some neoliberal will just apply a congenial bandaid to the status quo for 4-8 years before the dial is cranked even further.
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
this is like
the thesis statement of our times
If anyone is up for boosting, Bandcamp is holding a fundraiser for the Trans Continental Pipeline to help trans people escape from Kansas!
More songs should start like Monkey Gone to Heaven. "There was a guy." Ok I'm listening, what's this guy up to
Making sure that @tomwalker.bsky.social sees this as it seems it could very much be a “Tom” game
Yup, and this sort of puritanical urge must be resisted at every step because we’ve seen where it leads and what fascist regimes will try to justify under such umbrellas.
A government which does not want trans people to exist, and is legally allowed to force detransition in prisons, has created incentive for itself to put more trans people in prisons.
half a million people are dead and millions more will likely die because a 54 year old man is so unbelievably insecure he pays people so he can pretend to be a world class video game player
Trans rights are human rights. This isn't a tough one.
Another open-book test of spine and moral backbone that will be failed en masse by the people who are supposed to be watchdogs of democracy.
You turn down invites from Nazis, kids. It’s the easiest call to make. Imagine if Trump walked into a room empty aside from ten Fox News clowns.
probably fine
Heartbroken, outraged, and horrified
*small* comfort, that is.
In November of 2016, I had a vision of myself, with my final act, giving the finger to the mushroom cloud in the distance and screaming “Fuck you!”
It was directed at everything that led to that moment. The man, the media, the voters.
I take comfort in knowing I’ve never had the gift of prophecy.
The idea that imperial aggression is a "distraction" from Epstein is the worst kind of blind-men-and-the-elephant missing the point, sexual violence is inseparable from imperialism, it's all part of one big worldview that doesn't think certain other people are real
