Wasn't he whining about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize like a week ago

The doctors of The Pitt treating a fat patient like a human being (well, minus Ogilvie, who continues to be a dick), is quietly revolutionary. I love to see it.

I’m so sorry. The whole system is so broken and no one wants to take any responsibility for fixing it.

The Infrastructure of Jeffrey Epstein’s Power Podcast Episode Β· The Ezra Klein Show Β· 02/13/2026 Β· 1h 26m

Epstein was Lucifer Did you watch that show? Lucifer (the devil) knew what you needed and provided it - for a price. These powerful people sold their souls to this man to fill a depraved need, and children paid the price.

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

Truly begging apparel & footwear retailers to stop including a β€œfree”
tote with every purchase. It’s not freeβ€”it’s just another textile people have to deal with. MAYBE 2% of people are using themβ€”the rest end up in donation or recycling centers, or worse, landfills. There are better options.

It must be an incredible feeling to be a white man like @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social and say with your whole chest that we should vote for people who disagree with our very existence or right to bodily autonomy to win elections. To not acknowledge the absolute oppression of that is astonishing.

In his mind, none of this violence is reciprocal, only unidirectional. The ONLY bad actor here is Hamas. And the only remedy is re-education by the β€œcivilized” and β€œmoral” Israeli-led coalition. This is some high-level colonialist β€œExterminate The Brutes” rhetoric. It’s horrifying.

Rather, he blames it on the β€œeducation system.” He laments the killing of 2 or 3 Israeli soldiers a week, but has no words of sympathy for the dozens of Palestinian children killed weekly, seeing them as a result of Hamas’ bad behavior.

The most clarifying thing to come out of this conversation is the utter lack humanity toward the Palestinian people & the seeming infallibility of the Jewish state. It seems incomprehensible to Segal that generations of living under apartheid conditions could be what fuels anger & violence.

I don’t discount this, but the AI Apocalypse is already happeningβ€”just not the way you’re focused on. It’s happening in every community within a mile of these data centers, where people are being harmed by the pollution & water scarcity. FOCUS πŸ‘πŸΌ ON πŸ‘πŸΌ THAT πŸ‘πŸΌ

The only good thing that can possibly come out of this will be a bonus @ifbookspod.bsky.social episode.

And again - I also want to win! And I do believe compromises need to be made. But not on people’s basic human dignity, not on the right to bodily autonomy. We can compromise on tax policy, and even climate regulations (within reason). But let people live.

What’s wild is that he’s been openly supportive of abortion, especially after his wife’s very difficult pregnancies. So this turn is really distressing. But it again shows that wealthy white people are willing to sacrifice the lives & safety of others to further their own politics.

White men (almost) never fight FOR the rights of anyone else. So I am begging you to stop with the pro-life Dem nonsense and the ideas about compromising on trans rights. We can and should be able to win BECAUSE we are the party of equality. We need better messaging, not more compromise.

Also - my dude: we all want to win back power. But only white men are forever ok with doing that at the expense of the rest of us. It’s always the white men who want to compromise the rights of women, of trans people, of Black & brown folks, in order to win w the PROMISE of future rights.

What I find most frustrating is Ezra’s inability to acknowledge that his commentary on CK has whitewashed who CK was. Just admit that you were wrong - it’s fine! Especially when you have so many women, Black folks, LGBTQ+ folks, presumably immigrant folks, telling you. Listen to them.

I got through maybe 4 minutes, and then I was yelling at Ezra too much and had to stop. I cannot with this bullshit. I DO NOT understand how he thinks CK was doing anything other than normalizing violence against trans people, migrants, women, BIPOC, etc. It’s lunacy.

I’ve NEVER been as judged for the tone of my voice the way I’ve been in academia. By peers, students, administrators - my β€œtone” seems to be an issue. And I don’t know what to say. This is just my voice? I don’t know why I have to change the way I’ve sounded for 50 years to make you comfortable. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Loved today’s rainbow, Pride-themed Strands from @nytgames.bsky.social. Very cute! But honestly a bit hard to take when their parent org, @nytimes.com is so consistently wretched to trans folks. If it’s a small act of rebellion, good for them. But the Times ed board needs to get πŸ‘πŸΌ it πŸ‘πŸΌ together.

I’ve been saying this for days: this is out of the β€œwe need to compromise on abortion” playbook of the 1990s that led to Dobbs. It is GALLING that she is basically throwing trans kids under a bus for political gain. Have conversations! Absolutely! But do not cede rights. Learn a fucking lesson. πŸ™„

You cannot compromise with people who want you dead. The evidence of this is LITERALLY all around us, and we must fight for the rights of trans people (especially trans kids) to make decisions about their bodies. If trans folks have bodily autonomy, it assures it for the rest of us.

I tried listening to Ezra Klein’s interview with McBride & it’s honestly painful. Like, ma’am, why are you willing to sacrifice the existence of your community for political gain? Have you leaned nothing from Dobbs? We lost abortion bc we made compromises on bodily autonomy. Learn the lesson!!

I am so tired of managing the feelings of middle-aged men. If it’s going to be required of me at work, put it in my job description and fucking pay me for it.

Has this man ever driven through Boston? Or an Italian neighborhood in *any* American city? Or is it just the brown folks he’s offended by? These man and his entire party can fuck right off.
