We've got this in the legal field. The "well, actually" bros thinking that searching Westlaw using keywords & it being able to "predict" based on keywords is wildly different. (Also a key difference they always seem to miss is that nearly all legal materials are publicly available).

being cast in the harry potter series is a good way of saying 'i do not care about trannies'. don't allow these actors to say shit like 'well, of course i support the trans community...'. don't let them get away with that shit.

Designing a game in which it's legally acceptable to murder any member of a sentient race because they are all somehow "evil" is a political choice. People who try to claim they don't want politics in art really just mean that they don't want politics they *disagree with* in art they consume.

As someone who got called that as a kid and who's autistic, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE. That's like calling Justice Thomas the N word. I think the man needs to be yeeted into the sun, but you don't get to be bigoted because you disagree with someone.

The latter part is key to so many American "exceptionalisms." We aren't really that great in comparison with other countries; we're about as equal. The only way to get better -- as individuals, communities, nations -- is to receive critique and improve ourselves.

Spring in the Midwest really hits hard. I'm unlikely to ever leave this place (for a variety of reasons), and Spring is probably one of the best reasons to live here. Today is such a lovely day.

Some of y'all clearly don't remember when France refused to aid us in an illegal invasion of a foreign country, and they spent the better part of two years trying to convince Americans to call french fries "freedom fries". They will seriously get bent outta shape over anything.

It gives such “liberal elite” vibes, too. They only want us to read *what they agree with* when it comes to progressive policy because if it’s too left, and they *do* agree with it, I think their heads would implode.

Ok, given the ongoing nightmare with tariffs/printing/shipping/etc... If you are a US-based TTRPG-maker who needs to distribute a printed book/zine in relatively small quantities in the UK/overseas, give me a shout. I'll see if I can print & ship on your behalf, for as low a cost as I can manage.

Millennial & Gen Alpha “American exceptionalism” really is a whole area of study for sociologists.

Simply by advocating non-white people were humans was a radical shift in global politics. Liberals -- for every one of their flaws -- are always better than conservatives.

All my non-Socialist peeps: if you haven't listened to the song "Leon McDuff" by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, please do. There was a time when even the most commercial country songs weren't pure schlock that basically jizzed Republican anthems.

I've made a bad choice! I engaged with the wrong person at the bar (one of my weird artistic safe spaces), and now they won't stop talking. #actuallyautistic

Now, is this by Rand, Paul, Rand Paul, or Rand Rand Paul Paul?

This has the same vibes as conservatives saying, “It’s your fault we had to implement recycling; not wasteful plastics.”

I read the first book when I was 18. In 1998. Immediately it was evident that there were racist undertones. I have never understood how people just overlooked that element. Her books are actively bad.
