  1. I never thought anything would be as funny as that kid getting smushed by the plate glass in two but this new one might have topped it with a couple.

    Incidentally if you haven’t seen The Monkey it is very similar except death serves at the whims of an evil toy monkey.

  2. the mental masturbation equivalent of tugging rope

    Hypothetically. If complimenting trump meant that there would definitely be 2026 elections and the Dems would sweep Congress in a landslide , would you compliment Trump ?

  3. When I say as a Black voter with deep ties to my community it's the #1 indicator that you'll reverse any rights so long as they're wrapped in enough lies and acceptable rhetoric if you can't say trans people deserve unalienable rights.

    if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period.

    if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.

    Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

    While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

  6. When I see people on here unknowingly join moral panics around child safety and technology, I think about how the future of this very platform hangs in the balance of this legislation that is designed to force us back onto big tech platforms. It’s not about the kids. It’s about all of us

  7. Sitting over here in Alabama, with this site being the a lifeline for our business and career, going "oh ok so if Alabama follows suit you won't even let me decide if I want to give you my ID, you'll just destroy us"

    Even as someone who has been used to social media sites falling, that one stings.
