There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

It's like you can't align with a world historical bigot who decided to invest her entire life in torturing the most vulnerable people in her country without someone noticing. We must be so careful.

This is the type of thing that poorly run private companies are doing on a smaller scale constantly and a great example of why “we gotta run government like a business” is a grade-A dumb guy’s idea of what a smart guy thinks

Every now and then some RETVRN account will be like “the evil feminists want you to believe that you’d rather work a high powered job, live in a big city, and spend your twenties sleeping around instead of getting married and having babies.” And it’s like… yes.

NYT actually published this sentence, which asks us to take baseless moral panic bullshit seriously as a reasonable position. Supporters of the Holocaust considered Jews to be subhuman saboteurs of German society, too. So fucking what??

Yes. If these people gave a shit about "bringing good jobs back to America," they would be fighting to improve the quality of the jobs we already have. There's nothing inherent to the work of a taxi driver or waitress that has to be less secure than a 1950s factory worker.

The far right's stance on COVID was always incoherent and contradictory. It was a devastating bioweapon, but also just a cold. It was a plot to cull the herd, but also infect yourself on purpose. Donald Trump moved mountains to create the vaccine, which you should avoid because it will kill you.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

The premise here, just to spell it out, is that no black person, woman, queer person, etc., has EVER genuinely accomplished something. Every time it ever seemed like they had, it was just white people virtue-signaling by using them as tokens or whatever Or in other words that they're natural slaves

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.

I’ve said it before but a lot of people who are very smug about their contempt for “liberals” actually have just mistaken “liberals” for “women.”

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished

I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.
