It's amazing how utterly dumb the DOGE bros are and how little they let their total lack of intelligence, accomplishment and talent get in the way of breaking things that actually intelligent, accomplished and talented people had built.

On reflection the funny thing is that “paperwork isn’t what makes you american” is actually an argument for legalizing people who are American in every respect except the law bsky.app/profile/adam...

I normally think that this kind of thinking is an overrated explanation for these things, but Platner being a popular bartender and possible coke dealer in DC like 10-15 years ago would explain why he gets away with so much.

i cannot believe we are into year 2 of the groyper regime, the camps are open and the state is revoking id's, and we are still getting "oppressed minorities are kinda rude on the internet :/" hand-wringing

yeah we're a little tense right now, believe it or not. fucking shut the fuck up about it

$11.3 billion could cover any of the following for a full year:
-1.4 million people on Medicaid
-19 million kids getting free school lunches
-1.4 million people getting affordable housing
-1.1 million hungry seniors fed
-0.8 million children given free child care

At this point it's barely even a boycott, I've just stopped thinking of Target as a place to buy the things I used to buy at Target.

You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.

This is a thing that is within their control and they absolutely should make their negotiating position

I can't decide if it would be worse if they consulted lawyers and didn't listen to their advice or if they just didn't consult any.

Because I cannot reasonably imagine a lawyer giving the go-ahead for this.

"To encourage citizens to appreciate their sex"

Here's my bottom line:

Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.

Democrats should demand a clawback of ICE's remaining OBBB money before agreeing to supplemental Pentagon funding.

If you have not read How to Hide an Empire by Daniel Immerwahr I highly recommend it. Incredible how much Americans just don’t get taught about American history

It would be sad what he'd done to the electric car business, if his auto company had had any effects on that whatsoever.

Fortunately his car's as shitty as his politics, so no worries there.

Yes I’d like to see them be held to some accountability as in having their business destroyed by lawsuits.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

So the kind of people who can't shut up about themselves long enough to join an org led by the actually oppressed people in question has endorsed the Nazi in Maine.

Tracks.

If this has turned you off Grammarly and you used it to sound more neurotypical, may I suggest?

goblin.tools is usually better at that for me AND has a number of other AuDHD-friendly tools.

The fundamental mistake that the conservative legal movement made in looking at the Warren Court was assuming that it was all power and zero parts persuasion, so all they had to do was capture the institution. They were, I think, half right, but that other half is very important.

virtue signaling is good. practicing virtue is better, but both signaling AND practicing virtue is best.

Yeah, the autistic overshare gets 'em every time.

Unfortunately, it also gives way too much info to way too many people.

Incidentally the “Gaiman is autistic” defense these people use is not only very insulting to autistic people, who understand consent, but is … a little implausible given that he’s an incredibly emotionally skilled person! That - and talent - made his career: LBJ level social skills.

It’s basically a cultural myth that is specifically enlisted to play on the insecurities of young people who have experienced social rejection and to make them sympathize with abusers through what amounts to weaponized geek social fallacies. The fact that it’s so pervasive is deeply sad

I think it’s actually a gender stereotype hiding in a disability stereotype; they’re trying to essentially enlist awkward nerd guys who are vulnerable to “the <emotionally skilled> wimminz are using their Wiles to get to you” in Gaiman’s defense

Yeah, the actual organizers suspended the Nestlé boycott in 1984 (reinstated in '88 & ongoing).

I looked into it, decided it wasn't enough, and continued to not buy my favorite candy bar.

I haven't tasted a Crunch bar in close to 50 years.

I don't have another 50 in me, so Target's probably SOL.

Would play the heck outta this.

Would spend my unemployed dollars on it.

One sports reporter at the time of the sexual assault said *multiple* other accusers had made contact with him and LE and then everyone went dark after the death threats and doxxing. Rape reports in Colorado dropped over 30% over the next year.

That's what I remember Kobe for.
