If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they're lying.

Evidence or GTFO.

  • I'm pretty sure the joke is the exact opposite, that the same behavior that's treated as assertive if a man does it is treated as aggressive coming from a woman.

  • I have an out-of-state ID because it was a hassle to get it updated after I moved, and when I went to vote (in Illinois), they required me to provide proof of residence, I forget exactly but like a copy of my lease or utility bills - pretty much the same documents you'd use to need to show to get an ID in the first place. You still have to prove you are who you say you are.

  • Bad for artists, but for the environment, low quality, low effort, and the most annoying people in the world love it.

  • Plenty of people including virtually the entire intelligence and diplomatic corps of the western world, along with virtually everyone in Washington DC, disagrees with you.

    Imagine bootlicking so hard you think it's a bad thing to be on the other side of the exact same ghouls who lied us into the Iraq War. How can any of us live with ourselves knowing that Dick Cheney thinks we're bad people?

  • Administration Officials Believe Order Lets Immigration Agents Enter Homes Without Warrants

  • They've forced children as young as 6 to defend themselves in court with no right to an attorney, and it's been going on for years. The right to counsel isn't applied to immigration cases. It's truly insane, kangaroo court shit.

    If the interpretation that they don't need a warrant stands, it means that ICE could walk into anybody's home, abduct their child, accuse them of being an illegal immigrant, do a show trial, and then ship them off to Guantanamo Bay where no press is allowed. Or, for all we know, to Little St. James or anywhere else.

  • Democrats troll Republicans for ghosting their constituents

    Jump

  • If you had told me a year ago that one party had to stop holding town halls because they were afraid of their constituents, I would've assumed it would've been about heavily armed far-right militias intimidating Democrats. People can downplay it but it does seem kinda significant to me that Republicans have effectively been deplatformed by their own constituents, even if the specific example in the article (a town of 4,500 people) is pretty insignificant. Combined with the narrative shifting to, "things will get materially worse in the short term, but that's good, actually," it's starting to shape up to a potentially big shift in the midterms.

  • What parody surpassed what it was trying to parody?

  • Might not be exactly what you're asking for, but if you've seen ever seen Rocky and Bullwinkle, you'll know the villain "Boris Badenov," but you might not know his name is a pun of a historical figure, "Boris Godunov". Old cartoons like that are great because they're full of these super obscure references and jokes that completely fly past you until years later when you encounter something in a history class and suddenly burst out laughing. Another example I remember from that show is "The Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam," a reference to "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam."

  • This happens every time an artist does a parody of popular music, see also Smells Like Teen Spirit and You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party. Turns out music that's in a popular style tends to be popular 🤔

  • Clearly the problem is that Dick Cheney wasn't far enough right. Maybe if someone started a podcast and invited Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon - wait, shit - uhh I guess they weren't far enough right either. Who's next, Richard Spencer and David Duke?
