If you're worried about brevity in your writing, don't. It took Project 2025 nine hundred pages to say fourteen words.

We're science fiction writers. Of course we write stories about the consequences of technological innovations, and no one ever comprehends the story is about the consequences and not the technology

genuinely hopeful sign that every big name GOP garbage monster is frantically trying to distance themselves from Project Say The Quiet Part Loud In an Easily-Digestible Bullet Point Format About Which There Can Be No Confusion. this means we should all absolutely continue never shutting up about it

I'm a middle aged dad who wears socks with flip flops, and I'm cooler than that.

Added alt-text, and that sentence gets worse with every next word.

You had me at “exceedingly dry in-jokes for recherché subcultures”

A project so frightful that dime store Goebbels doesn't want to admit his part in it.

Happy to admit that one of the criteria I used choosing the bottle of wine I picked up today was "does the bottle have a long enough cylindrical neck that I can turn it into a guitar slide?"

Most of us aren't lawyers. We sure as better not be fucking cops. We are not presently on a jury. We are not judges. "Well, it's gross and abusive but not's not legally--" No, you can stop there! You don't need "but"!

I have tried ten different ways of phrasing this as to not sound flippant or like I'm chastising, and I'll probably fail. But anyway. It is Okay, Actually, to stop quibbling over whether a victim's testimony actually meets the definition of rape legally or not and just say, "WOW, that's fucked up."

"Why did the assault survivor only speak to [questionable media outlet]? CHECKMATE!" is not the flex you think it is. Unless you're Ronan Farrow (and sometimes not even then), what "reputable" outlet is going to take this kind of story about a powerful, socially near-unassailable predator?

A hill I will die on: all white-collar crimes are violent crimes. It's just that the violence is removed from the perpetrator because the perpetrator is wealthy.

Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs. We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.

I was not expecting @josie.zone to have me making the connection between what Vince McMahon made pro wrestling and the rise of shit like Q within three pages, but yeah. It fits. Neokayfabe has broken people.

Remember: Texas is not a red state. Texas is a massively voter-suppressed state, with a lot of people working very hard and very thanklessly to fix that.

Come on, y'all. For America. For Ted. Let's do this.

Trump can say he'll distance himself from Project 2025 as much as he wants, but in his last term he appointed every faithful FedSoc judge he could get his hands on, and that's basically the entire game.

Give ol' Rafael Edward Cruz the boot he's earned.

Recognizing a verbal misstatement and immediately correcting it is not a sign of cognitive deficit. It's actually evidence against it.

... today I learned that I went to the same school as the Prime Minister of the UK. Middle school, and with enough age difference that he was long gone by the time I was there, but still.

Gonna chase their sunk cost all the way to the ocean floor in a carbon fiber submarine.

Tell me I'm wrong: A bunch of the media and donor class panicked, for good reason, after the debate. Made a big coordinated push to make Biden step aside. Didn't work, wounding pride of lots of big egos. Now too miffed to concede so stuck denying that Biden can win to justify continued aid to Trump.

Fair play to Liz Truss for demanding recount after recount until plenty of people are awake and able to enjoy her humiliation fully, rather than disappearing quietly in the middle of the night

You know what, the Tories getting that leathering is worthy of a mini bottle of bubbly.

Does Wacom think we won’t notice this is just brand-naming NFTs? 😂

I was checking the BBC's map, set to "changed hands", and was very confused by there being one constituency that changed TO the tories. Until I looked it up, and the incumbent, who'd been expelled from the Labour Party, had pulled a Ralph Nader. Hope she's satisfied.

In this house we know who the real villain of US history is.

Watching the British election returns I feel compelled to point out that the 650 person House of Commons represents 67 million people and the 435 person House of Representatives in the United States represents 333 million. Replace the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. We deserve representation.

I'm trying to replace the pile of ableist insults with "bogus", because it conveys the correct meaning without failing to be excellent to one another.
