All this happened because I-95 saw a Pride flag at Target, I heard.

Another daily reminder of who's really coming for your children. It's not the trans people. It's not the drag queens.

Remember almost ten years ago when Twitter execs replaced blocking with muting and the backlash was so fierce they immediately backpedaled?
I guess the melting car guy was too busy grifting his way to his first billion to be paying attention at the time.
Quote Tweet
Get rid of blocking and I think Musk will discover the bulk of his remaining users employing a stronger form of mute called "leaving the site for good."

Pat Robertson's death is not a tragedy, the tragedy is that he lived at all. And his legacy will continue to be tragedy both for those who value honesty and integrity and those who don't.

He unfortunately lit the way for the grifters and pseudo-Christians to follow, all of whom have poisoned and fleeced the gullible rubes who fail to see through them.

So, miserable bag of walking, talking excrement Pat Robertson finally, fucking finally kicked the bucket at age 93.
The world was made worse by his horrific career of lying and smears, both of which came to him effortlessly.
I doubt he believed a word he said, it was all grift.

Sad to hear of the passing of legendary wrestler The Iron Sheik. He was an icon of sports entertainment and he'll be missed.

The story of why he doesn't drive is like something out of a Christopher Guest movie.
Quote Tweet
He doesn't have a licence but is the registered keeper of the car. So he can keep accumulating points and the driver gets away with it.

We at the New York Times are proud of the role we've played in exacerbating the crisis by paying right-wing columnists to help launder fossil-fuel-company-funded think tanks' climate-denialist talking points.

Moderate compromise with hostage-taking terrorists achieved: they'll keep the hostages for next time but won't kill most of them this time, in return we will set the airport on fire, but only 20% of it, not the 25% that was demanded—and we can evacuate wealthy people first.

On her way to watch some Vichy head or other be executed for treason, I bet.
Quote Tweet
A French woman walks the streets of Paris France with her baguette and six bottles of wine, 1945.
I can only imagine how emboldened the fascists are feeling right now.
Target caving like this is going to greatly encourage more attacks, and not just about Pride-themed merchandise.

Apparently, terrorism works.
A major international retail chain has been cowed enough by fascist terrorism to pull products from their shelves.
Do they think the fascist terrorists are going to be placated and not simply find other product displays to attack?

I'm pretty sure Douglas Adams was joking when he wrote, "…the best way not to be unhappy is not to have a word for it."
Quote Tweet
just think, 100 years ago virtually no one was "depressed" because the notion hadn't come to them, nor the proviso that it was a way of bonding with other people by acknowledging, or seeming to acknowledge, a common weakness kept private/secret by most people, sensibly. twitter.com/Toure/status/1…

Does not mean making arrows.

What's a word that does NOT mean what you first thought it meant?
We've all been there.
You see, it's a system that's a flagging system, hence the use of the word "system" twice, nothing to do with me failing yet again to proofread my tweets before posting because I'm hopelessly distracted.

What's happening to higher education in states controlled by large Republican majorities is especially noteworthy to me in that it's not a new playbook, and the goals are quite clear:
It could just be the presence of the word "idiot" in the URL, but I can't help but to imagine the strip itself was flagged by Twitter employees because it's about a very specific idiot who signs their paychecks.

Just wondering if and are aware that posting links to their comics are considered "offensive material" on Twitter, which they sure as shit weren't before the melting-car-exploding-spaceship guy bought it.

Surely republicans will begin clamoring for new restrictive laws on coaching cheerleaders. No? Just drag queens? Okay, then.
Straight-up neo-nazi shit. This is the kind of unhinged shit that gets strewn around army bases with swastika logos on it, and it's being tweeted out by the actual sitting governor of an actual state in the actual USA.

This is plain, pure, simple, and unadulterated fascism. It's here, it's festering among us, turning murder into glory and hate into a virtue.

At this point I figure if Anderson Cooper called Kathy Griffin she would send it to Voicemail.
And when I say fuck off to and I say it in Brian Cox's voice. So yes, I mean it.

Remember when for about ten minutes the newsmedia focused on Trump voters who'd gradually come to realize that they'd fucked themselves by supporting Trump?
The allegations are a good deal worse than this tweet might have you expect if you weren't someone who knows what these kinds of guys are all about.
No, it's not a "clash over faith," it's a fight over whether the USA fulfills its promise of a diverse, inclusive democracy or descends into a fascist theocracy ruled by a tiny-but-loud minority of unhinged zealots.

The only thing stopping me from quote-tweeting with a "can we get an update on this" is the lack of a paid blue checkmark.
