Saying you want a "competent" government is

Well, let's put it this way: competent at *what*, praytell?

Every now and then a photo appears in my notifications as someone spots the potential for Something Silly.

Sometimes the photographers are very kind and say "go for it". Thanks to @cheriecreationstruck for this one.

A former college football player and former NFL player host a podcast episode where they invite on the former Mr. Olympia bodybuilder, and they talk about women coaches in bodybuilding.

Stop pretending that rejecting "toxic masculinity" means that all masculinity is bad.

No one is saying you can't lean into masculinity. Be as performatively masculine as you want!

Just don't use it as an excuse to hate women or trans kids.

If you don't listen to Mr. Olympia, but you do listen to dudes that hit themselves in the face with a hammer?🤡 It's not about the gym. It's you.

How (racist/sexist/whatever) harassment on Mastodon works:

1. Harasser replies to their target's post, with the reply set to "followers only", saying the most vile stuff you can imagine.

2. All the harasser's followers join in on the harassment, posting more vile stuff.

3. Nobody but the target and the harassment crew can see the vile stuff that was said.

4. Target is traumatized. Nobody else can see why.

5. Everybody says "I don't see it so it's not happening."

🚨Warning Black people!🚨

Another famous white person with trash views has died! Do not use their own words against them, or *moderators may be forced to ban you!🤡

Do not mention that "1000 years of darkness" is a white nationalist and great replacement dog whistle!

Don't mention birtherism!

(*This is not an issue if you're on a well moderated instance on Mastodon, or if you get BlackSky moderation with BlueSky, because they know what they're doing. But random Mastodon or BlueSky moderation could get you banned for not mourning the death of racist white people hard enough🤡).

Flying out of Atlanta today, I saw a guy wearing a "same shit, different hat" t-shirt. I wanted to tell him how much I liked it, but needed to wait because people kept coming up to him to tell him how much they liked it.

I hope he made his flight.

So to recap:
•Trump illegally bombed Iran.
•Iran responded by closing the Straight of Hormuz, thus spiking oil prices.
•Trump is now responding by lifting sanctions on Iranian oil, thus funding the regime he's bombing—all as the Straight of Hormuz remains closed.

So in short, Trump bombed Iran, raised oil prices for Americans, and gave Iran more money. Masterful gambit by the author of the Art of the Deal.

Are we great yet?
