It is always slightly bemusing how bigots, whether misogynists, racists, transphobes, etc, or some combination of all of the above, always seem to act like they're presenting new ideas that you've never thought of before. Instead of, you know, the most boring and familiar kinds of hate that have defined society for so long.

white cishet men have the nerve to have no culture and then complain when everyone who does have culture makes cool things

It's time for that new tradition where everyone waves a COVID test swab a foot in front of their face so they can tell everyone that it must be allergies because they took a test and "it's not COVID."

How do abolitionists treat wealthy or well-connected people "escaping justice"? Are we supposed to say "We don't think anyone should be in prison, so it's good that [Hunter Biden] Isn't going to prison"?

Not really. A presumption of immunity for powerful or wealthy people is what lets the prison system exist. If they thought that they'd have to deal with it like anyone else, they'd change it. Immunity for elites or their relatives does not lead to abolition.

As a disabled web accessibility practitioner. This pisses me off. Extremely.

GENERATIVE AI DOES NOT AND CANNOT EVER REPRESENT DISABLED PEOPLE.

Just fucking hire disabled people like me who know what they're doing.

Believing AI over disabled people is ABLEISM and DEHUMANIZING. For fucks sake.

Your annual reminder...

Biden ignoring the normal federal pardon process for Hunter contrasts with his we-must-respect-the-process posture when it came to abiding by a parliamentarian’s advisory ruling that blocked a minimum wage increase for millions of workers.

It’s almost as if the process is only selectively honored.

@aral when you find yourself writing "legally killed children" is when you need to stop and check yourself and wtf you are doing

dear gay conservatives: fuck you, you traitors

The very normal urge to want to be trained like a dog
