I knew about the trans community and a struggling black community here, but never knew it would Venn into Warhammer so much. I need to find some gunpla people here, best I found was one person in Japan I don't want to disturb for being so perfect in their world.

Bro, I think parents should have better relationships with their kids so that kids get to be their authentic self without bullshit adults dictating their world views like fucking tyrants. Because if the kid is trans at school and not at home, that says more about the home than it does school.

Love Bundaberg as a Ginger beer person. If you live in the Northeast, there's this one called Localsweet that's a mix of pineapple and has a good bite to it. The Bruce Cost stuff is decent enough in a pinch too.

Oh my god. The got distracted about Magic The Gathering cards.

Incredible stuff.

Imagining a generation of assassins resembling the most scrawny kids at school. There's probably some manga premised on this.

It's gonna be awesome when JB quits the NYT on 'integrity' grounds over this. The Discourse is gonna get so good.

Republicans hate Democrats here more than any sort of policy that may help them. You think Biden's messaging is bad? Try Texas Democrats😞😭 Also, our legislators don't earn a lot. They have to be wealthy to run. oertx.highered.texas.gov/courseware/l....

Texas has been under GOP control for 25 years. Every single statewide office held by Republicans. Texas ranks last in quality of life, worst in health insurance. Power goes out often; people die of heat or cold. The infant death rate is rising; women die giving birth. These are features, not bugs.

Anger grows as some senior facilities left without power for days: ‘It’s horrible what the state of Texas is doing’ | CNNwww.cnn.com As Tina Kitzmiller sat inside her sweltering apartment, windows and doors open in the hope of catching even the slightest breeze, she was frustrated and worried for her dog and her neighbors.

Didn't think GM would stick its head up either. Too big to fail apparently only goes so far for corporate loyalty

Honestly this week looks more and more incentivizing to lean towards the Dem ticket

Starbucks is now a proud RNC sponsor, in case you still go there

Bullying works!

The Biden administration is reaffirming its support for gender-affirming surgeries for transgender minors after backlash over a recent White House statement opposing such surgeries. www.theguardian.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Biden administration flip-flops on surgeries for trans minors after backlashwww.theguardian.com Administration reaffirms support after reports White House opposed them, saying ‘surgeries should be limited to adults’

Hoping the tactic lasts while there's still dissension in the ranks

Yes this could all be part of his October surprise, but to me it is more likely that the panic in the ranks is telling the administration they actually should pay more attention this time which means for all the panic the rest of you had, he was still fine with how things were.

fun fact- this joke is as old as the tipped minimum wage of $2.13

This episode aired in 1994 and no other joke about American politics has held up that consistently for so long.

Who the hell would steal a teabag? I just left it on the table and it was gone!!

I bought a three pack of teabags so that tells you they weren't cheap. This is the last time I visit Milwaukee.

Look, here's a rule, if YOU seek to Other, for whatever reason, YOU Other yourself. There's us, and the bigots. If YOU Other, you self select on the side of the bigots. That's an actual binary for you. No phrenology required.

I honestly think if you want to stop Trump from getting a second term, then publicly highlighting J.D. Vance's direct connection to Peter Thiel and open admiration of Curtis Yarvin might have more salience than just saying "Trump is a threat"

Every day you show up at a social media site, it's like starting a comic book 20 years into its run. You have no context and you don't know shit about the current villain. Oh, so Electro and Namorita had Hydroelectric Boy? Dam.

This. This. This a thousand times

The reason that the language of domestic abuse and the language of authoritarianism looks the same is because it's just the same thing on a different scale.

I am happy that this account got taken down but under no circumstances should a threat just receive a label for any period of time. If I didn’t have 8000+ followers would the label have just sat there?

I am sorry @aaron.bsky.team but how in the world is this acceptable? A literal death threat from someone describing themselves as a skinhead is now just labeled as a “threat” and not taken down? Wtaf??

Lucky(?) for me, I'm mentally blunt enough to not realize what I did until I am one step away from getting out the door, perfecting my exit with the embarrassment hitting me full tilt so moving just a bit faster to escape my shame.

Worth noting that his own health department suggests that the first line of defense for extreme heat is to "stay" cool and get an air conditioner. If you can't afford one they note the city has free programs to access one and to save on utilization costs to set it to 78F.

Mayor Eric Adams, asked by a reporter about the lack of air conditioning at migrant shelters during a heat wave, says, "Every day New Yorkers don't have air conditioners. We make do." He recommends paper fans and says his mom told him to put his head in the refrigerator. —Emma G. Fitzsimmons, NYT
