Mother Extremists Hijack Airwaves To Broadcast Photos Of Their Children

I know this technically happened in the simulated world, so it didn’t have any future consequences.

But I can’t help wondering—what if Thirteenth had been born blind? The idea of any Doctor being blind is interesting to me because what if they saw the way the TARDIS sees? Through timelines.

"Guess how many local news outlets have reported on the anti-LGBTQ+ extremist attack outside of the Pasadena Courthouse?

Zero. Fucking zero. The extremists are on video performing the crime, admitting to the crime, and nothing happens.

The media and cops work together to cover up fascist violence."

Matrix-denken

Laatst verleidde een vluchtige ontmoeting de piot tot nadenken over “polariteit” en “polarisatie“. Het knettert nogal vaak onder de hersenpan van de piot. Om zo’n moment is er belachelijk weinig nodig opdat zijn gedachten alle kanten uit stuiteren. Onlangs lokt een vluchtige ontmoeting de sukkelaar in een spiraal van diep, oeverloos en chaotisch mijmeren. Tijdens de ochtendwandeling met…

Is the Pope Marxist?

The bear poops in the woods and Pope Leo XIV was born in Chicago, lived in Peru a lot, and has spent a large part of his life ordained in Holy Orders, so we know he’s Catholic.

So I guess it turns out the new pope, Pope Leo XIV, is probably not a complete prejudiced asshole, and apparently some fringe right-wingers will have to object to that?

Everything is political, surely we see that now.

Robert Francis Prevost appears to have been a guy who is possibly less authoritarian and more community minded since he once said that bishops are pastors not managers. But his views are not all in line with what far righties would call “woke” actually. And that’s going by things he himself has said — he opposed sex education in schools in Peru on gender, citing the right-wing buzzword “gender ideology” claiming such education “seeks to create genders that don’t exist”, so we should be prepared for him to maybe be as clueless about biology as maga Rep Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee who denied the existence of intersex people outright.

This is a guy who spoke positively about working with the first women appointed to the Dicastery of Bishops, but even in describing that he sort of makes women sound like otherly creatures that he has to justify their contribution, rather than just ordinary equal participants. I guess that might be a choice or perhaps that’s more indicative of his age and a lifetime in priestly lifestyle, and considering having studied at Villanova, he’s from the Order of Saint Augustine, historically known as the Order of Hermits of Saint Augustine. But he’s also come out against women being deacons, and that, some say, makes him conservative in the Church. His record on the priest scandals isn’t great, but it’d be hard to pin much on him personally in that vast shitshow.

But he was the prefect of the Dicastery of Bishops, which is the organization which reviews priests for promotion to bishop, and then the prefect meets with the pope to give him the roster of candidates so the pope can make decisions on promotions and post assignments. So I imagine this would be the same group of people who would review bishops for insubordination — called “schism” by Catholics with regard to members, so Cardinal Robert Prevost now known as Pope Leo XIV, probably was involved somehow in the investigations around that maga qanon anti-vax bishop that was defrocked and excommunicated — the Catholic terms for being fired from his post and ousted from the organization. So if you’re wondering why Laura Loomer (who is not a Roman Catholic) is digging up old tweets from 2015 and calling him a “woke marxist pope”, it’s because the sedevacantist far right is often hostile toward typical Catholic values such as caring for the poor or refugees, and has little regard for people from and in the global south. On top of that, adherents to this far right stuff actually don’t think any pope has been valid since at least Vatican II, and many are super into this Opus Dei cult thing or rad trad caths, and they’re jealous of whatever power they don’t have.

I find it rather amusing that MAGA at large even cares about any of this, since their Republican leader, the current American president, is the first US President to not have a hometown church, doesn’t much attend church, and he apparently says he considers himself a non-denominational Christian. Joe Biden was the Catholic from Scranton who attends church religiously and MAGA hates that guy. It’s funny that who’s the pope would even matter to any of these Trumpfluencers.

Of course nobody should be looking for saviours from the Roman Catholic Church either way. I daresay even Catholics, and Christians generally, would tell you that if you’re looking for a saviour that’d be Jesus Christ that you’re looking for. Robert Prevost, the Pope himself, said in 2023 that he saw it as his��first duty to “communicate the beauty and joy of knowing Jesus.”

But I guess one can hope that this pope has some integrity and doesn’t run to the right in order to prove he’s not “woke” or something foolish like that. After all, he’s the pontiff, an ordained Catholic. and now The Holy See, not a Democratic Party politician.

Disclosure: I was baptized in the Roman Catholic Church and therefore I think would be considered a Catholic by the Roman Catholics. I attended private Catholic high schools decades ago, where I learned a lot about Catholicism. But I have never actually been a “practicing” Catholic. I just have an interest in what I see as the socially dangerous cultural discourse.

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

Jammerlijk

Laatst maakte een lief compliment de piot danig triest. Aficionado’s kunnen het haarfijn uitleggen: samen met Magnifieke Marcel verblijft de piot om praktische redenen enkele weken op één van zijn geliefde pleisterplekken. Dat bepaald oord waar de hemel de aarde beroert, speelt wel vaker een rol in deze blog. Het concept van het verblijf is niet zoveel anders dan vorige keren. De piot plant…

James Carville is pushing Accelerationism.

Apocalyptic hopium isn't just lazy or bizarre, it's curious and we should all be suspicious when it's pushed.

I have said this before, but I think it's worth repeating and highlighting singularly – this is accelerationism. It's apocalyptic hopium.

James Carville is pushing Accelerationism like some kind of weird extremist, and we should just say it like it is.

The New Republic - Alex Shephard / March 3, 2025 Déjà Oof Why the Second Trump Presidency Is So Much Worse for Democrats The first time around, the party had a plausible endgame for Trump’s reign. Today, that’s entirely absent. With minorities in both chambers of Congress, just three liberal justices on the Supreme Court, and a paucity of national leaders, there is little Democrats can do; for Carville, there’s also little they should do. “With no clear leader to voice our opposition and no control in any branch of government,” he wrote, “it’s time for Democrats to embark on the most daring political maneuver in the history of our party: roll over and play dead.” Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk will quickly overstep, screw things up, and piss everybody off. Forget about all that #Resistance stuff; in Carville’s view, it’s best for Democrats to just sit back and let it happen—then swoop in and retake power.

Acceleration is absolutely almost always associated with extremist politics — the far right especially, or the far left.

And because nobody agrees on the meanings of words anymore, I'm going to specify that by "far left" I mean actual far left. I DON'T mean progressives (*eyes rolling*), nor people who just want strong banking regulations or Black history taught in schools who Trump calls "radical left" and also "maniacs and lunatics", I don't mean who the right-wing thinks is far left (Joe Biden), and I probably don't mean whoever Hakeem Jeffries was whining and complaining about. I don't even mean socialists who might want to nationalize the hospitals and banks, nor do I even mean communists who want worker owned businesses and stuff like that. I mean actual far left: tankies who maybe stan for North Korea. Or blatant accelerationists who wanted Trump to win the election so that he could "centralize the government" and make it ready for being brought under Putin who they believe will reconstitute the Soviet Union, envelope the world under a unipolar power, bringing world peace forever under some communist utopia. Stuff like that is what I mean when I say "far left".

(I'm sorry if this is the first time you're hearing about the fantasy behind why some on the left are pro-Russia and say the same weird stuff JD Vance parrots and what some call red-brown theory. Some of the deets vary but that’s about the size of it, and frankly saying that’s the equivalent to people who want universal healthcare and a functional postal service is ridiculous.)

My point is…

That so-called "centrist" James Carville is floating apocalyptic hopium should make everyone deeply suspicious. It's not just a matter of scoffing at this political has-been old guy – there's something troubling about him doing PR for accelerationist ideology.

I don’t know what’s going on or where this is originating from to eminate from that guy, but my suspicion is that this PR is linked very much to elite panic.

i'm a little afraid to go to pride this year. many of us are, a little. sitting around our tapas and video games, the silence that hangs over the discord server. it feels different, we say.

we're privileged. the community that came before us laid the groundwork so i could be raised in a different world, and i will never forget their sacrifices and dedication. they gave us this: a pride that feels like community and celebration and joy. i remember the first few times i went to a queer event - i'd been raised so catholic. feeling safe like that, for the first time... it saved my life. i go to pride to celebrate that feeling - my people, laughing. out in the sun, the way we couldn't have been even 25 years ago. that feeling: no wonder we call it "pride."

who am i to be afraid anyway. there are parts of the world where people are doing much better work than i am. but it's just: i felt at home there, you know? and this year feels different. we are waiting on the dam to break. last year, at boston pride, there was a whole gaggle of sign-holders shouting about jesus. you walk around them and try not to let it get to you.

this year, i'm going to DC's pride with my girlfriend. google sends me concerns about if it's safe to exist in trump's america, if World Pride is a bigass target on all of us. every article uses the words "safety concerns" many, many times. three days ago i witnessed a shooting.

even straight people keep telling me - people are weird lately. sometimes we blame it on Covid and sometimes we blame it on the full moon. but i do remember a time before this, right. it's not just that people are more comfortable being rude. it's this strange, outwards violence. a comfort in being cruel.

it's a big hole to fall down anyway. it's not like they're going to do anything to make pride safe, not really. i don't want a police presence as the solution. and what if this is just fearmongering! what if this is just to get us to stop attending our own events! what if everything is actually fine, and i'm just freaked out by the stated intentions of our president!

and what if i'm just listening to things that are being said. what if i'm weighing the shape and size of this america accurately.

my mother calls me. she's been getting the articles too. i assure her i'll be careful, but i put the phone down and stare at it. i'm going to go to pride. other people made it safe for me, it is my duty and my honor to show up for my community. the only thing we've ever had was each other. it was always an act of bravery. being ourselves is brave.

but i am afraid. i lay out my outfit and i kiss my girlfriend. i cut my nails and clean up my undercut. i hold her hand and hang the sunset flag. the sound of this america feels different. like a volcano trembling. i will love her and i will love being queer and i will sing over the noise of it.

but ... still. in the back of my mind. that feeling, like something terrible has been shifted. like somewhere in the night - they remembered we're different.

Russia vs The Rainbow Frogs

Five Days' Jail for Rainbow Frogs A Nizhny Novgorod resident has been jailed for five days because of earrings in the shape of rainbow-coloured frogs. The young woman was found guilty under administrative law of the offence of displaying extremist symbols. At the same time, none of the officers who drew up the charge could say what extremist symbols were depicted on the jewellery. According to the girl’s lawyer, the frogs were seven-coloured, while the LGBTQ+ flag has only six colours. Why is this important? This incident is the first administrative-law punishment since the decision to recognise the ‘international LGBT movement’ as an extremist organisation. The application of repressive laws sometimes reaches the level of absurdity. Even random coincidences can attract the attention of law enforcers: for example, in May 2022, a man wearing a blue jumper and yellow trousers was detained in Moscow. And even if the prosecution of the Nizhny Novgorod resident is halted on appeal, it will not spare her from punishment.
