In fairness, the anti-immigrant far right _always_ performs far below expectations. Especially when they win elections. Because hate doesn't solve anything.

Breaking news: The first projections after polls closed in France’s legislative election put a leftist alliance in the lead, as the populist, anti-immigration far right falls behind and performs far below expectations.

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

When I first saw this I thought "no, that can't possibly be true." But alas, the Times did indeed choose today of all days to publish a right winger's recycled piece about how they don't vote, failing to mention that the author basically thinks absolutist theocracies are cool.

The entirety of the Americas was full of people before Europeans, whole and rich civilizations with cities and artwork and histories that settlers almost or in some cases completely succeeded in destroying. It’s too great a tragedy to put into words.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

A thing I like about Sesame Street is that adults are positively and proactively involved in the lives even of kids they're not related to. This is cool and should be normal--being good to kids and helping them grow up should be a whole society's responsibility.

when I was a child, I thought smart people were in charge. when I got older, I realized you didn't have to be smart to be in charge. but the piece that was hardest to learn is that no one is really in charge at all. no one's going to fix it beyond us.

You're not fucked up, it obviously is. J6 was an abortive, halfhearted attempt at a coup. Like a mild cold your immune system evacuates. The supreme court declaring it's fine paves the way for a successful future coup, like getting full-blown AIDS. You're not dead yet but that cold now WILL get you.

🧵 In 2020, I nearly died from mysterious industrial chemical exposure at my apartment. Later, I discovered my employer was dumping toxic waste into our windows from their Skunkworks semiconductor fab next-door. I tipped off US EPA, who then raided them in 2023. EPA sent me the report on Friday. 💀 ⬇️

“mispronounces a word” feels like a gross exaggeration but its true, Biden simply mispronounced “every woman has a right to bodily autonomy and reproductive healthcare” as “an immigrant came over the border and killed a woman”

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

See, the centrists are freaking out a lot more than the rest of us. Biden being a barely-functioning senile racist who was shredding his political coalition in service of a fascist genocide was already baked into my political analysis. If you were pretending otherwise, though, well now!

Hot take: The best deodorant is table salt. Fragrance-free. Non-staining. PH balanced for everyone. Instantly effective at stopping the cause (bacteria), not just masking a smell with another smell. Doesn't clog anything. Totally non-toxic (lick-compatible if that matters). No weird metals. Cheap.
