A heads up. Brian Penny has an account on this site. He has a history of violent threats and sexual harassment against women. Please protect yourself and block him.
He is claiming he deactivated his Threads, but in reality his account was removed.
Three skeets from the same person which read: The messaging is always "Look we all know and agree that you people have to get fucked a bit, that's just how it is. We'd love to shave that fucking down 10% tops." If no democrat is going to listen to people who are getting fucked and then give them a healthy outlet to work against that then it's leaving it all open to malicious actors to direct that energy elsewhere. re my last reposts there are also very few if any Democrats saying "you are getting fucked. they are gouging you." Which is true and everyone knows it. Yes democrats talk about "affordability" but everyone also knows to them that means a widget should cost $49 instead of $50 etc.
This is a very popular take that merely restates the problem it purports to solve. Which is largely one of perception that gives enormous credit to right-wingers and little to anyone on their left.
A lot of Democrats *do* talk about these things and have gotten more overt about it lately.
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.

@brianpenny.bsky.social care to explain this disgusting behavior towards women?
People lingering there seem too stuck in their habits or attached to their follower numbers. Wish more of them, especially some brands, like Star Wars, would just abandon the cesspit.

It’s been a week already. Anyone fancy seeing the new synopsis/blurb for ‘Star Wars: Star Pilots’?
It's fascinating how there are apparently some PhDs who are like "wow, I could've just skipped the whole learning portion of my PhD, the entire point of the process!"
Take your strawman and shove it entirely up your ass.
CORRECT IN ONE 🌟
Also, he's been in California less than 20 years.
He's a techbro from Texas.

2. Labyrinth (Jim Henson)
3. Jurassic Park
4. Star Wars: A New Hope (non-Special Edition)
5. Ghost in the Shell (1995)

The truck being from the OC is multiple levels of hilarious but also makes perfect sense.
Really feeling good (again) about having Katie blocked.
Suggesting that Israel just shouldn’t exist or has no right to exist at all as leftists like Katie often insist ignores a hell of a lot of Jewish history and culture.
Part of it is that Katie is frequently one of the kind of leftists that are extremely anti-Israel to the point of treading into antisemitism and will be defensive about it and let her large following defend her about it.
Part of it is that doing a truck up like that and being amazed about it like that. Note the side of the truck says Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine.
There are a few scant fandom and news articles about his connection to it if you google [ Adam Baldwin Gamergate ].
Most of them have to do with fans asking an Australian convention to uninvite him 10 years ago.
He also did an interview with Steven Crowder about it.
The 2.7k likes reminds me why I frequently detest this site, too.
Fuck every single one of the 2.7k assholes who liked that post, too, though.
Really feeling good (again) about having Katie blocked.
I'm so glad I have her blocked.
