I'm confused because she's running as a D, and I did a quick google search for "Brianna Wu GOP Donations" but couldn't find anything. Do you have a link?

There is a link in the article I linked earlier in the comments where someone posted the references for that bit (fourth comment down).

Oh it was about the firebombed GOP office thing. That's a reach. People did that in support of "civility politics" which, you know whatever, but it's hardly an endorsement of the loving NC bathroom bill. They weren't saying "gently caress trans people" they were saying "we think it's wrong to firebomb people who we disagree with politically."

Yeah, what the gently caress? That guy just said that he has been banned from multiple sphynx cat Facebook groups, and everybody is just arguing about Wil Wheaton like it was no big deal. I'm sorry, but that kind of revelation is the sort of thing that changes the topic of conversation.

Seriously, more people need to know about the machinations of the Sphinx Exclusionary Radical Felinists (SERFs). They're worse than the Illuminati in many subtle ways.

I have a friend who has been expelled from several of the chillest Facebook cat groups because he won't shut the gently caress up about vegan stuff. I think it's hilarious but I suspect that he does not agree.

He got ran off Mastodon for reporting trans women en-masse for jokes. The lady who BOFA'd him first got banned. He reported so many accounts the mods had to get involved and eventually told him to gently caress off, after which he immediately played victim because Wil Wheaton is always right how dare you.

I love the game of Telephone this has become.

One user, who happened to be a trans woman, got a 6-hour probation for being a poo poo to Wheaton. This whipped HER followers into a frenzy, and they began reporting Wheaton en masse. The mods of the Mastodon server he was on then asked him to leave because it was a pain in the rear end to field all of the reports about him and it was easier on them if he just went away.

Source: I'm on the moderation team at Mastodon.social, and have been dealing with the fallout from this. (Wheaton was on a different instance, Mastodon.cloud, with entirely different moderators.)

This is not to say that Wheaton's not kind of obnoxious or that I wanted him around. I'm happier with him gone. But it wasn't actually his behavior that got him kicked off.

Mine's the exact opposite. I was apparently "being mean" for being the only one posting any actual science when it came to poo poo like raw diets and "omg you guys coconut oil cures everything". I'm a paid shill for both big pharma AND big pet food, it seems.

There is nothing that says welcome like a drama bomb of a declaration about who is and is not welcome. The kind of people who write that sort of thing are the kind of people who will get on a microphone in the middle of a crowded place, call for everyone's attention, and then verbally say that sort of thing before letting everyone else get back to whatever they were doing/cringing at that guy.

Ozy media is incredible

OZY's about page posted:

That’s what drives us at OZY: the idea that more is possible. And we’re not afraid to challenge assumptions about the way the world is in order to see the world the way it could be. That conviction is right in our name. Yup, it’s from the Percy Bysshe Shelley poem “Ozymandias.” And yup, most folks read that poem as a caution against big egos and the impermanence of power.

We read it differently. To us, the poem says think big, but be humble , lest you end up “two vast and trunkless legs…in the desert.”

What protected class is being discriminated against? Jocks? Discrimination isn't illegal. Discrimination against protected classes is.

Besides, it even says everyone is welcome, but the notice is to tell people not to bother asking for sports on the tvs.
