I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

Every time someone says "This isn't America" I get pissed because all of this has happened before, it just didn't happen to white people. And before someone brings up the Irish, they weren't considered white at the time. They bought their way into whiteness via jobs that enforced oppression.

The U.S. shouldn’t be allowed to host this, the World Cup, or the Olympics. It’s the 1936 Berlin Olympics all over again and someone in these organizations needs to have to balls to try to stop it.

At the end of the day, I’m tired of femininity being associated with attraction to men only. Feminine women can be lesbians. Feminine men can like women. Feminine nonbinary people can be whatever the hell they want.

Tbh the tremendously miniscule "harm" presented as reason to restrict access to transition or even ban it entirely is really ridiculous in a society where you can simply decide to take up smoking, go to a store, and ruin your lungs without a single consultation with anyone.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

I was theorizing yesterday that a lot of the protest quarterbacking is people wanting to find reasons not to do something that will likely be very unpleasant to do

As someone said prior, the only reason Greta got released is because people were very loud about her specifically. There are still 8 other flotilla members detained, apparently without fresh water in bedbug infested prison. They all deserve to be fought for, too.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Love working in TV in a time when shows can be critically acclaimed and do good numbers and still be cancelled for ephemeral reasons no one wants to disclose.

I spent many years on a menswear forum with Michael Anton, director of policy planning in Trump's administration. My editors asked if I'd be interested in writing something on him. I have so many stories to tell; this is only a small bit of our shared menswear world www.politico.com/news/magazin...

the bit about Africans being active in the slave trade is telling. it’s something that is only relevant if you think the point of discussing slavery is to disburse racial blame rather than understanding history.

If I ask real nice do you think Canada will let me get a vaccine? I can pay for it.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

"Have you ever tried sugar? Or... PCP?" also "The elevator is temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience" but that one really needs his delivery to be appreciated.

happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

"Don't right-wing Star Wars fans realize they're the Empire, not the Rebels?" Yes, they do. They like the Empire. They identify with it. That's why they were so pissed off when Andor showed an Imperial as a gross, pathetic little rapist.

if an American pope takes up AI under the seven themes of Catholic social teaching (of which one is “The Dignity of Work & the Rights of Workers” and another is “Care and Stewardship of God’s Creation”) all the worst Catholics in America might just keel over on the spot and save us all some trouble

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

You gotta want a better world for everyone, not just those you agree with. Not because everyone deserves it, but because the alternative is letting some authority choose who deserve it. Let no authority choose who deserves rights, happiness, or dignity.
