KKKevin McCarthy is the least relevant Speaker in my lifetime. He traded his authority for votes, to become speaker, and the House is now under the control of a lunatic fringe, with him as their proxy. He can't do anything without their permission.

I told a joke on a Zoom Meeting and no-one laughed.

It turns out I'm not remotely funny.

Fuck off with calling all these anti trans and anti gay laws "controversial." They're hate laws. They're fascism. They're evil.

Journalists are going to "both sides" fascism until they are literally executed by the fascists.

For anybody scratching their heads over the reference to Lochinvar in the article. It's a character from a Sir Walter Scott poem:

'He's angry': Trump set to create new problems for the GOP as nomination looks locked up.

With Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' 2024 presidential hopes already fading before he officially announces, Republicans are trying to get their arms around how much damage Donald Trump will inflict on the primary process and to candidates down ticket. rawstory.com/donald-trump-angr

@BlackAzizAnansi And people forget how @Jack really was! Remember when he was refusing to respond to the Black women who were being harassed on his old site? He is NOT any kind of beacon of hope.

WIP - a long time coming

An "old" conversation between @welshpixie and another .art friend (sorry, took so long that I lost you ๐Ÿ™„).

In the last stages. Just a few details left...

"One conservative activist admitted to the New York Times that the focus on trans people followed an extensive effort to find something that would serve as a wedge issue as effectively as now-broadly-accepted same-sex marriage."

But they'll get back to that, if we let them get away with stomping trans people. We have to push them back now, and push them back hard enough they don't try again.

Dwyane Wade's revelation that he moved out of Florida because of hostility to his trans daughter is important, potentially making the issue real to people for whom it might otherwise be abstract/easy. washingtonpost.com/politics/20

My mother used to say to me "Eddie, success comes in cans. Not can'ts." My name isn't Eddie, but she didn't feel comfortable with altering a direct quote.

Finbar Cafferkey, a native of Achill Island, Co. Mayo, Ireland, was killed near Bakhmut while defending Ukraine. Like many foreign volunteers, he couldn't bear to see what ruzZians were doing & decided to come to Ukraine to fight them.

"We have been fighting to live as sick, autistic BIPOC survivors since we were born.

We know how to fight. We are not going back.

We know that destroying the fascism that trans bans embody requires a militant anti-ableist analysis.

It requires us to understand that ableism underpins all attacks on bodily autonomy."

There's a pizza place near me - Italian-style pizza, and they have one called a Bianca that I really love.
Or beef ribs. No sauce, just dry-rub, and wood grilled. Any day is a good day for ribs. With a baked potato and steamed vegetables.

very alarming to see so much disinformation online, as an award-winning journalist who covered the death of Joe Biden, I know just how important it is to get every last fact right

Starting for something in my neighborhood is around $800K, but I bought it 20+ years ago. I couldn't afford to pay what it's worth now.
