I encourage you all to watch Abdul El Sayed handling a heckler in Michigan. Later it was found out the little prick is a White Nationalist who is working or was working for another White Nationalist, Josh Hawley. The Ossoff clip is good as well. https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/no-kings-four-fuck-yeah
I've been saying this for months. Democrats should not engage in these nasty conversations with bigots. Tell the people that you are an American and as an American you believe people have human and civil rights. That includes all the humans. Leave it at that and if they persist turn it around on them as to why they are so obsessed with other people's underwear and demand they tell them how they have personally been injured by a trans person.
Funny how the bigots only target transgender women. I don't think trans people should be used as pawns in political games, but just once I'd like to see someone challenge the bigots who insist that "gender assigned at birth" should be the deciding factor by saying, "Joe MAGA wants to force your daughter to share a bathroom/locker room with these men:"
An initiative on the Washington state ballot wants us to restrict trans GIRLS only. The law will not affect trans boys. So, in this case, they're very specific. It is an attack on girls and women in sports. That is all.
Semi-on-topic: I don't know how encouraging her polling is, but here's Cyndi Munson's ass-kicking ad for Governor of...where? Oooooooooooooooooooooooo-klahoma!
Happy Sunday, Dok! Ima gonna say this about men in women’s bathrooms. I grew up in a family with four brothers and sisters, in a house with only 3 bathrooms. In the morning, when the schoolbus is coming and everyone has to get ready, my sister could be putting on her makeup and I ran in to take a shower. My dad might run in to use the bathroom and flush the toilet without yelling out “Fire in the hole!” and I would scalded. Then I would be blowdrying my hair with my blowcomb. (It was the seventies.) My other sister would run in to sit on the toilet and insert her tampon. Then one of my brothers would enter to use the other sink to shave and squeeze his acne in the mirror. Despite all this exposure to the genitalia of the opposite sex and the same sex, we all grew up to be cis heterosexual men and women and no incest, opposite sex or same sex, occurred. WE HAD A SCHOOL BUS TO CATCH, Senator! We all did sports that involved locker rooms, and when you wrestle, it is like the movie Vision Quest: everyone strips off their jockstrap, even if you are under weight with it, before they step on the scale. It’s a superstition. Swagger confidently while buck naked, then try to grab the other guy’s leg right at his crotch before he grabs yours. JIM JORDAN, NONE OF US BECAME HOMOSEXUALS, BISEXUALS, OR TRANS BECAUSE OF THAT!!!. We played co-ed sandlot softball, and my friend’s big sister was a mean brushback pitcher. She was very nice otherwise (see how its done, Shane Gillis?), but if you tried to crowd the plate on her, you were going to get pitched inside, get hit like Minnie Minoso by Don Drysdale, and have to take first base with a big red welt under your shirt. And we had to be co-ed to make the teams even. This was in the country. So I don’t want to hear how coed sports and coed bathrooms mess up people’s sexual development. And in the country, Senator, anyone who tends to the animals has figured out the facts of life by the age of ten. We knew a woman who was a dog breeder of Huskies (very practical in snowy winters), and spending an hour playing around the kennel was a pretty effective lesson in intercourse, pregnancy, labor and delivery, and neonatal care. NONE OF US BECAME GANG RAPING DEGENERATES OR CHILD MOLESTING PERVS. So, enough of this fake outrage, Senator. Go grab a shovel and start scraping up the poop. Puppies are cute, but they poop a lot. If that makes you coprophilic or bestial-friendly, that’s on you.
I am the oldest of five kids who grew up in a home shared with my maternal grandparents that had two bathrooms. One of those was a small bathroom alongside the master bedroom intended exclusively for parental use ONLY. Thus we sussed out a shower schedule that tended to favor your's truly in practice.
I'd get up at 4:00am Pacific in order to enjoy that FIRST delicious cup of coffee and use the shower so as to get my skinny ass out of the way of my younger siblings. For the record, I cannot patiently tolerate cold showers.
i'd be more comfortable leaving sportsball to the leagues that actually run them if team owners didn't reach so deeply into the public till for their sportsball stadiums.
I learned a lot from that meeting. It was a political decision. He was given a hall pass. I was actually relieved to find out the public statement did not seem to represent his true feelings. He has been very supportive other than this, and I was worried there was some "parental rights" stuff going on under the surface. While I disagree that a bunch of anti-trans ads would have sunk him - it didn't work for Earl-Sears - I don't want to lose a representative who will at least listen instead of calling me a baby mutilator. It breaks my heart that this is where we're at.
Suffice to say that I am experiencing thoroughly redactable RAGE regarding THAT self-righteous estrogen traitor. This bitch makes a malicious mockery of maternal influence and I DESPISE her beyond all known means of measure.
These malfeasant motherfuckers are KILLING the very children they insist they've been chosen by their gawd to PROTECT. You may rest assured that a few of we ghosts trapped in the machine will make these fuckwits SORRY...
EVERY gawd damned day I assume my trademark sneer and hiss under my breath, "Thanks AGAIN, Reagan".
That egregious day in the early eighties when Bonzo the Chimp's understudy defunded state psychiatric hospitals and other state-sponsored assistance to the mentally ill will go down in INFAMY, comrades.
Be advised that I will NEVER forgive the self-aggrandizing asshole for his veritable existance.
OK, which one of you fuckers recommended reading The Purple Cloud by M.P. Shiel?
I want to say it was Daniel. It sounds like something Daniel would have recommended.
Welp, I finally finished it. It was pretty challenging to read b/c of the super dense descriptions and detail of everything, and a few times I was like, "Hmmmm....this seems familiar, like it was in The Stand," and today I learned that Stephen King got a lot of inspiration for The Stand from The Purple Cloud.
I *really* really love Leda. And it's so serendipitous that I read this b/c one of the characters in the novel I'm drafting right now is a Leda-like figure.
When in the festering fuck is one of these reporters going to call out these self-righteous conservaturds and demand that they cite ONE incident of a man dolling himself up in expensive silk stockings and a revealing frock in order to enter the lady's loo and commit acts of sexual violence upon women. C'mon; CITE these alleged abominations because I sure as HELL can't do it, and I'm a fucking research junkie.
It's a condo. The mailboxes are out in front between the building and the street. They are under a eucalyptus tree that tried to kill me about ten years ago.

They don't even think trans men exist. It just doesn't compute to them.

Meanwhile in the locker room.
Oh Cindy! What is that you've got? I don't think I've ever seen one of those on a girl. Can I touch it?
I don't know if I reported on my meeting with Congressman Vindman here. He voted yes on HR2616, some doomed anti-trans legislation, and issued this statement: https://vindman.house.gov/2026/05/20/vindman-votes-to-keep-parents-involved/
Some concerned voters in his district met with him in late August. We asked him to pledge not to do that again. It was just after this happened:

We didn't get our ask, but got a promise to consult with LGBTQ+ leaders and us before voting:

I don't give a crap that it was a calculated political decision. It is inexcusable to deny human rights for political gain.
Demented soccer mom in Kansas rams her pickup through a youth soccer game, killing two and injuring eleven.
Suffice to say that I am experiencing thoroughly redactable RAGE regarding THAT self-righteous estrogen traitor. This bitch makes a malicious mockery of maternal influence and I DESPISE her beyond all known means of measure.
These malfeasant motherfuckers are KILLING the very children they insist they've been chosen by their gawd to PROTECT. You may rest assured that a few of we ghosts trapped in the machine will make these fuckwits SORRY...
did she ram a ram?
Oh good crom there were children in the car.
Jesus Christ. How soon until the "A good guy with a gun could have reduced the damage" stories commence?
A good guy with a bigger more powerful truck!
(and tiny penis)
Fucking hell.
We need mental health coverage in this country, along with everything else.
EVERY gawd damned day I assume my trademark sneer and hiss under my breath, "Thanks AGAIN, Reagan".
That egregious day in the early eighties when Bonzo the Chimp's understudy defunded state psychiatric hospitals and other state-sponsored assistance to the mentally ill will go down in INFAMY, comrades.

Fucking THIS.
what in the fucking fuck? Mom for Liberty?
Nice Times is up!
Thank God!!!
there ain't one, but thank Her anyway!!!

As I am approaching retirement age, I believe a midday nap is in order.
Just woke up from mine.
I miss my midday weed something fierce.
I have my problems with the BBC, but Auld Auntie can be very inclusive. There are women’s rugby games going on just now, well worth watching.
Interviewer: “What do you think of the stereotype of women rugby players?”
Player 1: You want to take this?
Player 2: That people think we’re all fat tattooed lesbians? Well yes, I am a fat tattooed lesbian but we aren’t all fat tattooed lesbians.”
Canada just beat the Red Roses in Toronto. The Roses hadn't lost a game in 4 years.
It was a great game, I’ll find a link.
I am happy to see that Canada hasn't abandoned their game plan after finishing runner up at the world cup.
Work harder and play smarter.

Laziest campaign ad I've seen so far. A banner across the bottom of another site, that just says "Candidate A sucks." (Uses real name, of course).
Funded by some PAC out of Virginia, which is not where I live.

[assumes cold, defensive posture]
They are thinking about doing these things, projection always!
Perpetual prevaricating projection prevails among these petulant pricks, my esteemed comrade.
Spoken like a real Ostentatious Ozymandias Observing the Offal Orifice.
If someone actually did that it would probably come out that they're either a preacher or a Republican officeholder...
If paid enough I'd doll myself up like that to walk to the mailbox. Maybe not: I might cause some of my neighbors to die of natural causes.
You’d need to walk to your femailbox.
Sexist reply redacted for reasons of good taste.
Heh heh. "Femailbox."
Would laughter be a natural cause? We use euphemism but never heard of an actual report of such a thing.
I'm sure a nice side-splitting guffaw might be risky if one has a bad heart. Or a latent aneurysm.
aaahh. the benefits of an old house. i'm largely unfamiliar with this walking to the mailbox thing of which you speak.
It's a condo. The mailboxes are out in front between the building and the street. They are under a eucalyptus tree that tried to kill me about ten years ago.
Mailbox in the door or by the door? Ours is out by the street, but my grandma's is right by her front door
directly outside my front door. postal worker can't even cut through yards on foot because most neighbors have a fence right up to the city easement.
That one time, in band camp…
Gottdammit!! Lewis and Clark Monster just liberated a packet of unsalted saltine crackers.
As a food: 👍👍👍👍👍
As a toy: 👍👍👍👍👍
Is an unsalted saltine just a tine, then?
Some of them can be really sharp if dried out enough.
