In this my unrelated Willis brother points out that she says you can’t be a protected class unless there’s a history of discriminatory laws about your group, and therefore states are allowed to pass discriminatory laws about your group. Which is objectively insane.

The good news is that this is unlikely to turn into WWIII. The bad news is that it only won't be a world war because there's no way the UN, EU, or NATO will back us on this and it's not a world war if most of the world is just watching us and Israel getting shot by Iran and their allies.

ALMOST all of this is right. I have two gripes: - Not only should kryptonite not be deadly, it shouldn't exist. He doesn't need any weakness. Show that all the physical power in the world doesn't guarantee you always win. - Superman belongs in movies but Hollywood doesn't understand the character.

The horrifying part about this is that it's the first logical theory I've read about why crypto-turned-blockchain-turned-nft-turned-metaverse-turned-crypto-turned-AI bros do any of the stupid, stupid things they do. I hate how much sense it makes.

I’m a cishet white guy, I know life is always worth living but nothing I say has much credibility because I don’t have that experience. I leave that part to trans people. But I can say I and millions of people like me are going to fight this until we win so it’s a matter of when, not if.

Nobody should have to move to be safe and it’s not possible for everyone. It often requires finding a new job, it cuts people off from their social circle, and it’s just hard logistically and emotionally. But it’s getting that serious and I’d like to donate to mutual aid if anyone has suggestions.

Tucker Carlson’s like, “Look, I’m useless and evil and my neck is slowly becoming a part of my head, but even I think Ted Cruz is a moron.”

When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Man, coaching a game at 84 years old is crazy even if it is honorary. The only things someone that old should be doing are getting mad at the newspaper and being the ranking Democrat on a Senate committee.

Anti-cancel culture is worse than cancel culture and always has been for the exact same reason that the excesses of democracy are always less bad than the excesses of monarchy/feudalism/totalitarianism.

I know it feels good to post shit like "Are you done denying that we live under fascism??? Ready to come out from under your rock and admit the truth??" but who are you talking to? No one here is denying it, and the people who deny it aren't here. Who are you yelling at

The reason we find Sarah @mcbride.house.gov so frustrating is that the gay rights movement has been dragging people like her behind it for decades - the white moderate suddenly realizing they're a minority, begging the rest of us to settle for an absence of tension instead of the presence of justice
