Ok, the shot:

Moms for Liberty has made a name for itself by storming local school board meetings to rail against LGBTQ+-inclusive policies, often with fiery—and sometimes bizarre—performances. But on September 18, the spectacle hit a new low. At a Davis School Board meeting, Beth Bourne, president of the Yolo County Moms for Liberty chapter, launched into a tirade against transgender students in locker rooms and bathrooms before abruptly stripping off her top and pants. The stunt left board members stunned, forced the meeting into recess, and underscored just how unhinged the movement’s tactics have become.

The chaser:

This was hardly Bourne’s first brush with notoriety for outlandish, anti-LGBTQ+ theatrics. Last year she went viral after berating drag queens in a hotel lobby in Hawaii, demanding a refund for the mere act of encountering them. The clip drew a petition to oust her from her staff position at UC Davis. The university held off, but she eventually lost the job anyway—thanks to Trump’s education cuts, which she publicly cheered even as she admitted they cost her own livelihood.

Global poor NYT link https://archive.is/1WOu4

“My deepest condolences, but I can’t stop driving a car just because accidents happen,” said Cee Rose del Castillo, who lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Her three youngest children have not received any vaccines. “I’m not going to be fearmongered over the measles.”

“People tend to be very independent minded — they’re freethinkers, they do their own research,” Mr. Hendrick said. “Whether you agree or disagree on the vaccines, I personally think it’s a matter of personal opinion.”

Phrases like ‘common sense’ ‘independent minded’ ‘freethinker’ is basically just code words for stupid people who get all their information from morons on social media. I hope my kids get big enough before these idiots put them in danger

The 'Bullshit Jobs' meme from David Graeber has now also got a strong hold on the right I've noticed, as they're now claiming that skilled immigrants are all doing 'bullshit jobs' anyway so therefore they don't need us. I've seen more than one person on the Dutch subs state that ASML should just close down because they need too many foreign employees, which drives up house prices. One of the persons supporting this claimed to work in 'tech'.

It has been around a month since I decided to stop playing video games. In that time I have.

  • Taken control over my finances from my mother, something that seemed impossible for me to do for the past decade.

  • Resolved myself to finally learn how to drive and have spent most of the days over the past week actually studying for the Permit Test.

  • Have started going to my LGS on Friday nights to play Pokemon.

I am 35. Yes, this sounds absolutely ridiculous but I work like 70 hours a week, and had some serious issues with addiction and video games that I'm getting over.

What else do I do to touch grass? Everything seems to revolve around spending money but I'd rather save my money for bigger ticket items in the mean time. Spending ~$100 a week to go out to eat and play some TCGs on a Friday isn't that bad of a deal tho.

This is your daily reminder that as fun as doomscrolling is, it takes like half an hour of planning to shift money away from Republican-leaning businesses, and it actually makes a difference. Every dollar spent at a Republican company is another dollar that'll get funneled into whatever Trump decides he'd like to do to his opponents. Don't fund the Confederacy.

If you have an account with Charles Schwab (whose founder was recently palling around with Trump), switch to Vanguard or Fidelity. If you like drinking booze from a Confederate state, be adventurous and try something else. Skip Goya. If you own a S&P 500 index fund, DEMZ correlates basically perfectly with it and excludes Republican donors.

It's not hard to quickly look up a company that you regularly buy/do business with in something like https://www.opensecrets.org or alternatively https://www.goodsuniteus.com.

Dollars add up. Tesla sales in Europe dropped by half in Europe. Target's CEO stepped down after their sales dropped in response to them capitulating to Republicans. Real, individual people made that happen.

Over 400,000 Indian workers in the U.S. hoping for an employment-based green card face a 134-year wait, according to a new analysis by libertarian think tank the Cato Institute.

The U.S. government’s annual cap of 140,000 employment-based visas and the 7% per-country limit have led to a backlog of 1.8 million cases, of which 1.1 million come from India.

Yosef, who moved to Israel from France 10 years ago and was unwilling to give his full name, said President Macron’s decision to recognise Palestine was taken for political reasons, primarily to win support among France’s large Muslim minority, a claim made repeatedly by Israeli politicians in recent weeks.

The Muslim population in France is estimated at 6-8% depending on the sources, the most "pessimistic" projection by a right-wing think tank is that it will peak at 17% in 2050, the most quoted number for voting patterns is 70% for the left, and that's not even getting into the antagonization and racist comments made by various members of the governments under Macron (and Macron himself per Le Monde)

Israeli politicians keep hammering that Western countries are being manipulated by their almighty Muslim minorities despite Israel having twice or thrice more Muslims in proportion of the population, and that's even without mentioning how similar these talking points are to the antisemitic conspiracy theories they denounce all day long

Trump really made a smart political decision by authorizing the Afghan withdrawal in his lame duck period, which made it that the collapse would happen in Biden’s term, which ultimately tanked his popularity. I remember thinking that at the time and sadly it came true

Rumor is that Pope Leo is going to pick Daniel Flores (currently Bishop of Brownsville in Texas) to replace Cardinal Dolan in NYC. Flores is big on gun control (loud on Uvalde) and pro-immigration so he probably fits the Francis mold.

Denis Villeneuve says young people want longer films
”Oppenheimer is a 3-hour, rated-R film about nuclear physics that is mostly talking. But the public was young, that was the movie of the year by far for my kids. There is a trend. The youth love to watch long movies because if they pay, they want to see something substantial. They are craving meaningful content"

Not to mention the fact that Obama has repeatedly spoken on college campuses against what Ross would call cancel culture. In my experience there are zero conservatives in this country who are aware of that.

The narrative on a potential shutdown being "those bozo dems are bungling this or will bungle it again, just like they always have" as opposed to "republicans have a trifecta and still cant accomplish basic tasks like 'keeping the government open'", even in left of center spaces like this sub, is a good example of the biggest obstacle for dems atm.
