Dunno if this helps anyone but a reason why “don’t engage, just block” is so effective is that most troll culture is just about them feeling like they’ve won by virtue of having made you waste your time. It’s just emotional vampirism. Once you understand that, engaging seems pointless.
My cherished Astoria friends and neighbors’ worker-owned bookstore has a new brick-and-mortar location—drop by for the 🎊🤫🎊 soft opening 🎊🤫🎊 this weekend and next
TIL there are people who think the weekend is "just traditional" and not something that happened first because a handful of employers wanted staff to observe the Sabbath, and then because unions demanded it until it was enshrined in federal law.
An homage to a panel from the Achewood web comic. Phillipe, a young and eager otter, who is wearing a shirt and tie and a helmet for some reason, is happily singing a song to himself as follows: Born... in the USA! I went to school and I got an... A! I ate a hamburger and said hooray! Maybe it will happen today! The final line is obviously my addition. The art was redrawn by me and is not just a copy of the original panel. Done in black lines and halftone shading on a toned paper background. You do not need to trouble Chris Onstad about this.
To be clear, this has been known for decades.
The only reason poverty exists is people make policy decisions to permit it to exist, usually in the name of permitting someone to hoard wealth.

Researcher: Claude, please eat ten hamburgers.
Claude: Done! I have eaten ten hamburgers. The first two were delicious, but after that I began to experience bloating and the meat sweats.

She remains a principal conspirator to commit mutliple assaults, batteries, kidnappings, and murders, so hell yes we still demand a reckoning.
I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic
Two MORE synagogues in Toronto were shot at overnight. That’s three this week.
“In October 2025, both her SSI and Medicare benefits were halted, and she was told her immigration status was under review.
Although Rakestraw was born in the U.S. and has never once traveled or lived outside the country, federal officials still raised questions about her legal status.”
Any cis gay person willing to throw trans people under the bus is a quisling piece of shit. Fuck em.
Anyone coming for trans people is coming for all queer people.
Not just because they're lying when they say they're only after trans people, but because we shouldn't even allow them to make that distinction; if they want to get to trans people, they are going to have to go through all of us.
In my neighborhood, that's just Tikken BBQ.
Perhaps compulsory gender?
I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉
Like this narrative that the campaigns for equal marriage were a friendly public conversation where everybody respected each other is wild as fuck. It was only about ten years ago and you guys kept implying we wanted to fuck dogs.
again. cant say this often enough.
all they see in superman is that he is powerful
all they see in homelander is that he is powerful
all they see in doomguy is that he is powerful
all they prolly care about star trek is that 1. federation is humans. and 2. that the federation is powerful
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
I do think “Graham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now

If that's what you believe and you aren't saying it to the people who go to Church to hear your spiritual guidance, what's the point of you?
Any time there's turnover in the Twitler regime, the story is "One nazi got replaced by another nazi. Other nazis are happy at the one nazi's downfall because nazis hate each other. Nothing is actually improved by swapping nazis."
I’ve just seen a political party stating that, and I quote, “Diplomacy means speaking truth to power even when it’s difficult.”
No. That’s journalism. Diplomacy is about advancing the interests of your state. This is why “diplomatic language” implies being able to be tactful or silent when needed.
The money changers were exactly where Torah said they should be doing exactly what Torah said they should do. Jesus is the asshole of that story and you cannot redeem him.

Strongly recommend calling your US senators today to tell them:
1. Publicly call for Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting a protestor.
2. DO NOT vote to confirm Mullin for DHS.

You can pass this along to him from me...
The average price of gas in NYC is up by 30 cents this week.
Don’t believe the bullshit lies going around that Platner’s wife is Jewish. That shit is a literal propaganda op designed to get you to forgive him.
Also people can be fucking hateful bigots married to marginalized people like have you not heard of our Vice Fucking President?
4 tours, at least one of which was entirely voluntary and THEN joining Blackwater was disqualifying imo, never mind the "we all know Black people don't tip which is not racist to post on Reddit cuz it's true and we all know it" and "women who drink too much get themselves raped" OR THE NAZI TATTOO
