A sequence of shots from the TV series MASH. Three surgeons are operating in a mobile army surgical theater, and are masked in cotton masks, wearing cotton caps to cover hair, and aprons. Bright lights are visible in their backgrounds. The first, panel shows Frank Burns (an absolute jerk character but Larry Linville, his actor, was not) saying, “Everybody knows war is Hell”. The second panel shows BJ Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) saying (sarcastically) “ remember, you heard it here last.” The third and fourth panels show Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) saying, “War isn’t Hell. War is war and Hell is hell and of the two, war is a lot worse.“ 5th panel shows Father Mulcahey, the chaplain (William Christopher) saying, “How do you figure that, Hawkeye?” 6th is back to Hawkeye, saying “ Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?” 7th is Fr Mulcahey saying “ Sinners, I believe.” The last three panels are all Hawkeye, saying, “ Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. But war is chock full of them. Little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.”

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

It's wild that the same people scolding progressives "you have to learn how to play the politics and optics" when it concerns trans people or genocide are suddenly like "hell YES we want a guy to run in the general that lets Republicans say 'but it's the Democrats are the ones with Nazi tattoos!!'"

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

yay! eat shit, Third Wah!

anti-trans Dems ate shit last night

AAVE is unparalleled!

I’m that girl = I’m the shit don’t mess with me

I’m not that girl = I’m the shit don’t mess with me

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

you may be referring to this piece, which is focused on the invention of "transgender social contagion/ROGD", but the timeline also shows the rise of anti-trans parents groups, organizations, & related talking points, all starting around 2015-16:

Transgender People, “Gay Conversion,” and “Lesbian Extinction”: What the Data Show A couple days ago (on Christmas, actually), The Telegraph ran a piece with the provocative title: “Lesbians facing ‘extinction’ as…

since The Atlantic is apparently reviving the "a was a feminine gay child, but if I was a kid today they would have 'transed' me" trope, here's an essay I wrote back in 2020 explaining why this is not true & there is no evidence to support it: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-...

perfect representation of the vicious asininity of our persecution and the banal mechanisms of its implementation: these regular-ass people, the staff at the dmv, dutifully inflicting whatever absurd degradation they're told, no matter how blatantly, cruelly pointless. would you do that? will you?

this is next-gen rock paper scissors. you play with your face: ghost beats bad-news beats jackass beats ghost. GHOST BADNEWS JACKASS SHOOT!

Frame from campaign ad by Rep. Dan Goldman. His face full on center frame under which is the caption in all caps “ABOLISH ICE”

Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months.
Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldman’s ads have gone from “Agents should have to carry ID” in January, to big bold graphics this month that say “Abolish ICE.”
