The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website. The stated reason is harmful to us all. I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars. Subscribe to support my journalism.

"Let's figure out why men become Nazis" isn't a particularly rewarding game, in my opinion. Yes, everyone has reasons for what they do, but the answer to "why does a white man embrace a political system in which white men alone hold power" is fairly self-evident.

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

We’re at a moment when the right is attacking women’s rights, dignity, and access to the public sphere—and when prominent voices in the left are working to delegitimize women’s liberation as a political project. The only way to respond to these betrayals is with solidarity. Join me in donating:

Over 50% of trans people are sexual assault survivors. Rape is how patriarchy punishes violations of its rules. There is no way cutting the people most likely to be sexually assaulted from sexual assault services is "necessary" for the "greater good."

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If it takes any skill or knowledge to use AI, the promise is already broken. "People who know how to use AI will have an advantage" -- in addition to being pure speculation, since no one has come up with a general use case for AI, it just highlights that AI sucks.

I don't know why, but "Bill Burr, Leftist Hero" is where I hit my limit, maybe just because it shows how few people actually give a shit. If all we're doing is arguing about WHICH violently misogynist white man to treat as our leader, then all hope of a better future is already lost.

Every five years Bill Burr says something that isn't "women deserve to get hit when they're mouthy" and you have to go back and carefully, patiently link the video of him saying women deserve to get hit when they're mouthy. Which he does. A lot. youtu.be/7ZGMT4eaXoI?...

The biggest inaccuracy movies taught us is that villains are cool. Not talking about the moral aspects, just that they would look and act stylishly. Real world evil is so frequently dorky, schlubby and banal.

For most of my life, the dominant liberal attitude was that feminist inquiry into private life was vulgar and dangerous—that nothing done between ostensibly consenting adults could be political. This was naive, and in its hostility to inquiry, it was also anti-intellectual.
