A goddamn legend died today.
Something I heard recently was people can argue about the origins of Heavy Metal. But no one can argue it started AFTER Black Sabbath.
Now, are we gonna throw him an Electric Funeral or what?
Hey, uh..
The guy who bought this platform and turned it to shit for reasons I will never understand ...
Yeah, he did a fucking nazi salute today. Twice.
It wasn't an "awkward wave", the fucker did a nazi salute because he's a fucking asshole
And for the record : GENUINELY have no idea why he's only made decisions that have made this platform :
- less useful
- less trustworthy
- more bot-friendly
- more hate-friendly
- WAY less profitable
Why buy the "town square" and then make it the shittiest place to be? DUNNO!
Today sucks for a lot of people. If you want to put some love and joy into the world, and get a little treat for yourself, consider buying cookies from trans girl scouts at this link :

Seems like the ones further down on the list need the most help, FYI
So begins the next 4 years of the "...and find out!" era of the American experiment.
The depth, frequency, and reach of corruption, immorality, inhumanity, and ineptitude will probably never be fully reported or believed even long after this.
Good luck, assholes who wanted this
An abject lesson in not reading the room. Got this alert - IN LOS ANGELES - a few mins ago. A perfect reminder to delete the app and never use it again
Thx for the reminder, RAW!
I didn't have the energy to make a bunch of prediction posts for 2025 . My heart just isn't in it this year.
So, enjoy laughing at my oh-so-funny misguided optimism I had for 2024 that blew up in my face :

@RebeccaSlatkin Genuinely one of the best ideas I've heard all year
(alas, it would tank that predatory industry and I don't suspect the upcoming administration would legislate that requirement)
Why anyone thought the #PaulTyson fight wasn't going to just be two dudes dancing around and no one doing shit to either one is baffling.
The Paul bros do literally nothing but grift, in every single venture, and then they ALSO grift from your hope they'll get comeuppance
Thank you for coming to my TED talk, and support sex workers, and stop letting "OHHH BUT SHE'S A WHORE!" and/or "BUT HE FUCKED A WHORE!" be your moral compass.
Vote blue, no matter who, and also remind your blue reps to do better going forward.
Pete made a lot of great points but can we PLEASE stop using "he fucked a pornstar!" as an insult?
Quick reasons why ...
1. Sex work in any fashion is more work than most people do
2. Porn, in particular, is sex work out loud and takes a large professional and emotional toll
Yes, of course, it's hypocritical that the party of "we want to ban porn" supports someone who briefly fucked a pornstar (then paid to hide it)
But that doesn't mean that anyone fucking anyone involved in sex work is any way a stain on the character of either person
