Republicans should be forced to carry Kevin McCarthy to term, even if it endangers the life of the party.

If you're mad at EFF for making it possible to use Chrome with less tracking instead of yelling at people to use a different browser, then I assume you have never heard of harm reduction. Giving people digital privacy and security advice means meeting people where they're at. Otherwise, you're just running your mouth to make yourself feel smart.

He's going to get people killed with this.

You know what Nazis used to do in my Twitter replies before I started mass blocking?

They'd give my home address out to OTHER Nazis in my replies who had expressed an interest in murdering my family and me.

If Peter Parker--canonically one of the ten smartest people in the Marvel Universe--can suffer from imposter syndrome, then it can strike anyone. Stay strong and believe in yourselves. #spiderman

GOP: Clearly the only solution to our debt crisis is starving the poor

MAGA GOP says they’ll raise the debt ceiling if they can cut food stamps for low income Americans. 😳 This is supervillian'esque behavior.

Just horrific. Low income people will needlessly starve as a result of this GOP cruelty.

Again, our problem isn't that we can't feed our neighbors in need—it's GOP can't satisfy billionaire greed.

petition to rename the thing people do where they take cyberpunk and then remove the punk

it will now be called: cybercore

and y'all can go take your "politics-free aesthetic" and fuck off, cyberpunk is for when there's punk in it,,,

If you're watching the Super Bowl this year, be prepared for a double dose of religion in the form of the #HeGetsUs ads.

Besides trying to stop the tide of people leaving Xianty, the campaign says they want to "unify the American people around.... Jesus.

No, thanks.

@cinja @actuallyautistic I’m now imagining trying to organize an orgy of autistics. We’re all naked or In fetish clothes, waiting for someone else to do the thing.

Basically, trying to date when you're #actuallyautistic. In hindsight, it blows my mind how many times I've completely missed come-ons from hot people. @actuallyautistic

This is a cool approach: Instead of giving a rimjob to the new Potter video game, Rock Paper Shotgun has chosen to have a "magic week," in which they highlight indie games about wizardry and magic.

Here's hoping that other wizard game with the antisemitic and anti-trans tropes bombs.

"“The 1619 Project” is not divisive or anti-American. It’s about showing Black Americans what we’ve been through and what we’re capable of and honoring those, Black and White, who sacrificed so much so that we could continue our fight against racism. Teaching Black history is about showing us, after all we’ve been through and are still going through, that we are all truly Americans.

No wonder some are so desperate to stop it."

@jamesrandall And of course, the cover to Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon," which was a masterpiece of graphic design.

@jamesrandall Also, the cover to Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew," which is another that I first just saw in passing, and had my breath taken away.

@jamesrandall The beauty of the album covers is one of the things I miss about LPs.

One of my favorites would have to be "Maggot Brain," by Funkadelic. I remember it making a big impression on me as a kid, years before I even knew who Funkadelic were. I saw it at a garage sale.

In addition to the usual tankies - who will support any thug so long as they don't like the US - it's also sponsored by libertarian and far right groups, along with the usual leftie front groups.

It's the Brown / Red alliance, right in plain sight!
