I'm going to start amplifying men I think are good models of masculinity more than I talk about those who are terrible models for it.

Did you know someone reverse-engineered the Weather Channel computer system from the 80s/90s and now you can generate your own private weather channel for your location? weatherstar.netbymatt.com

People have no idea how hard it was keeping my kids under 5 from getting COVID before the vaccine was available. Once they got shots, our whole life changed in terms of our ability to travel in relative safety and participation in public events.

Considering leaving STEM to do graduate study in Anthropology or similar. I just want to spend a few years gathering evidence for my manifesto, and have some sort of credential at the end?

The US was also initially based on a single ethno-religous group, and this also begat genocide. It was bad in the exact same way that Israel is right now. If Israel decided to guarantee equal rights for all people (cease ethno-religious discrimination), that would be good.

I am against all ethno-religious states equally. But since I'm Jewish, Israel keeps trying to claim me. That's why I find Zionism offensive.

Labor struggle is often portrayed as isolated events when a battle was won or lost. How can we consider these as a chain of events across history? When you consider the sum of these struggles, and from who we attempt to wrest power, what is the state of this resistance movement today?

Made a chart! Hope this helps someone. Murder is bad.

I'm certain that murdering the embassy workers will lead to an increased crackdown on Palestinians and human rights allies in the U.S. and abroad

they're preparing for the fucking rapture which is why they care about israel!!!!

censoring Jewish artists in the name of "countering anti-semitism"

I thought we'd be in for a new pandemic but I did not see us reviving the previous one... This country is pathetic

Overheard older couple walking at 8AM: "It's just fuckin' corrupt. Everything's corrupt."

In her ruling, the judge said it quite plainly: Badar Khan Suri's release is "in the public interest to disrupt the chilling effect on protected speech"

Give people hope for a world with good food, clean water, hybrid/remote jobs, better wages for teachers, service workers & caretakers, quality childcare & public schools, free healthcare, police accountability...

I've started to realize that fascism has only ever happened because of deeply ingrained stupidity, and literally never because of strategy or manipulation.

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Memorize it. And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.

the question that I'm stuck on about Nathan Fielder's "Rehearsal": aren't "real" singing competitions equally (if not more) exploitative?

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”
