at least once a day I say this to myself

[Colt @ColtTTV_]

no offense to myself but what the fuck am i actually doing

[goma @soigomaa]

im gonna repeat this until my lungs give out. some men want conservative women to live their conservative lives with. that's fucking awesome, go be amish or mormon or whatever.
a LOT of men want to break in independent women and trap them into a conservative relationship. that's abuse and power. why are they foaming at the mouths trying to get abortion banned federally if the women they're interested in are chaste until marriage and only fuck for god given children? why do we not have maternity leave and state subsidized- free or almost free childcare when the economy benefits from having women in the workforce but also from having children? why does school end at 3 pm and your job at 5pm? why are they fighting so hard to stop work from home when it benefitted parents? control. it's irrational and it has nothing to do with morals, the economy, logic. just control. keeping all women from having full fledged careers, from being able to walk out of an abusive marriage, from being able to make choices on having babies or not. because when women are equal they have no one to look down on and their mediocrity is too much to bear

For a long time I feel like the basic centerpiece of Taylor’s love songs were “this is how I feel about you” and I feel like Showgirl shifts the centerpiece of her songwriting to “this is how you make me feel” there is a difference and that’s why Showgirl feels so different

[Taylor Swift Museum @theswiftmuseum]

USA TODAY reports that Taylor Swift personally selected five songs to represent her songwriting career for consideration in the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

As part of the nomination process, all eligible songwriters must formally approve their candidacy and choose five works that best illustrate their artistry before ballots are sent to voters.

Swift’s chosen titles were:

“All Too Well (10 Minute Version)”
“Blank Space”
“Anti-Hero”
“Love Story”
“The Last Great American Dynasty”

It is weird that Musk wasn’t involved in this election and Democrats won in a fucking landslide beyond belief.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

It's actually never legitimate to withhold aid from starving civilians. It was never legitimate at any time.

That's one of the annoying things about having to discuss Israel's ridiculous claim that Hamas is hoarding hostage corpses in order to achieve some kind of goal and therefore justifies reducing aid into Gaza as punishment: the conversation skates right over the fact that it has never been legitimate for Israel to withhold humanitarian aid into Gaza. Debating whether Israel is right or wrong to withhold aid under these specific circumstances tacitly assumes that it could ever be right to withhold aid under any circumstances.

Listening to Israel's justifications for why it needs to inflict monstrous abuses upon the people of Gaza has the effect of assuming that there are circumstances under which those monstrous abuses would be acceptable. And there just aren't.

It has never been legitimate to intentionally deprive civilians of humanitarian aid that they need to survive. You have to give them aid.

It has never been legitimate to shoot noncombatants because you decided they crossed some sort of line into a forbidden zone. It has never been legitimate to shoot noncombatants at all.

It has never been legitimate to commit genocide. Israel just needs to stop the genocide.

The onus for stopping a genocide is on the party committing the genocide. This should not even need to be said. It's so obnoxious how everyone's getting sucked into these debates about whether or not Israel might need to resume the genocide because Hamas refused to disarm or they didn't get their hostage corpses back or this or that ceasefire demand wasn't met or blah blah whatever. Israel has never needed to commit genocide. It needs to stop committing genocide.

The world shouldn't be bending over backwards to ensure that the state which is committing genocide is happy with the terms by which the genocide is ended. The world should be aggressively punishing the state that is committing genocide until it stops. That would be true peace. What we are seeing now is just a bad joke.

And of course this true peace is not emerging because the powerful western states who've been backing the genocide this whole time are perfectly fine with it. Their weapons industries get to profit from the genocide. Their empire managers get to enjoy the domination of a critical geostrategic region. They sleep like babies at night, because they do not view the victims of the genocide as human beings.

So we find ourselves doing this ridiculous dance where we go "Okay well maybe the genocide could stop if the victims of the genocide agree to terms X, Y and Z and don't make too much of a fuss about being killed in smaller numbers every day."

This is madness. It's the craziest thing you could possibly imagine. We live in a dystopian madhouse.

I don't understand how a person who is a wanted ICC fugitive is allowed to address the United Nations

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

I try to stay informed about politics and would quite like to know what Britain's third-largest party, with 72 MPs, is discussing at its conference today. But once again BBC political coverage is dominated by a policy announcement from Reform UK.

“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.”

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley: “Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated. But I’m overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds of division and hate into this land. And hearing people with selective rage who are mad about Charlie Kirk, but didn’t give a damn about Melissa Hortman and her husband when they were shot down in their home, tell me I ought to have compassion for the death of a man who had no respect for my own life. I am sorry, but there’s nowhere in bible where we are taught to honor evil. How you die does not redeem how you lived. You do not become a hero in your death when you are a weapon of the enemy in your life”

[Jai, First of Her name, The Frogslayer 🐸 🗡️ @DreadedJai]

“When we decline to speak ill of the dead, it’s because we have compassion for the living. In this respect, I am sorry for Kirk’s children. I don’t know if Kirk was a good father, but if he was, that does little to mitigate the damage he did to other people’s children.”

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

It's clear to everyone the BBC is giving Nigel Farage and Reform far too much coverage. It is dangerous and it has to stop.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: The Lib Dems have launched a “Balance the BBC” petition to address “wall to wall” Reform coverage

[Caiby 🦢 @caibyy]

No representation for the Libdems (3rd largest party)

No representation for the Greens (new leader, same number of MPs as reform)

The UK is marching to the right and the media is to blame.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

A high-ranking Pentagon official confirms that Trump's strike on a boat in the Caribbean was a criminal attack on civilians.

Two government officials report that Pete Hegseth's rationale for the murder came together after the fact. Trump murdered 11 people.
