Most racists, though they may not realize it, are radioactive. Most people of color are Geiger counters.

Being able to almost immediately identify a racist isn’t a parlor trick or a lucky guess. If you’ve lived among them and have had to survive them, being able to recognize them comes almost instinctively. Can there be doubt? Of course, absolutely. But it’s when there’s no doubt that one is consistently right.

@WmShakesp3are @hannu_ikonen

on the GOP?

yes

if they lose

if enough morons in the usa don't vote or vote third party, considering what is on the line if trump wins, then the joke is on the rest of us, and the world

If #Europe's biggest mistake of the 20th was the failure to deter the nazis, the second was the failure to punish the soviets for their atrocities.

Putin's fascist imperialism is the result.

Hello people of the US, Germany here.

We have a bit of experience with a convicted felon and radical right-wing extremist becoming leader of our country.

Our advice: Don't do it.

It's important not to accidently write the sentence in this form: "Trump is appealing."

(I will show myself out.)

I PROFOUNDLY DISAGREE with those saying it’s a “sad day for America” or we shouldn’t celebrate in the streets.

WE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD!

This is a victory for the RULE OF LAW.

A RICH WHITE MAN has been held ACCOUNTABLE for HIS CRIMES.

Thursday was a GREAT DAY!

You too can buy a Tesla, and support the main share holder Elon Musk, who abuses his social media platform to convince his 185 million followers, that the US justice system is corrupt, because his favorite criminal is brought to justice.

Or you could buy another car.

Do you have trouble communicating metric sizes to Americans?

If so, I have you covered!

I wrote this simple app where you type in a size (e.g. 1.2 meters) and it will output more useful units, e.g. "It is almost exactly the length of 7 medium-size bananas"

i swear the venn diagram of trans issues and neurodivergent issues is a just a fucking circle

• research to find a "cure" when there isn't one, nor will there ever be
• the best method of treatment involves accommodation and affirmation
• there is no single way to be either of these

y'all agree or nah?

Never mess with pediatricians

(they have very little patients)

There is increasing disparity between what the public wants and what the politicians want.

The public wants litigation against #FossilFuel companies while politicians continue to approve extraction projects.

#FossilFuel companies don't just cause #ClimateBreakdown, they threaten #democracy.

Vote with your wallet as much as your ballot.

Now that the verdict is out, the right is acting predictably deplorably. But no matter! The good news around the conviction of Donald Trump far outshines their darkness. I walk through it all in today’s piece. Check it out in the replies.
