I get irritated every time I have to fill that out. Like, who the hell isn't anxious right now except billionaires?

Even the Daily Beast, Jesus H. Christ.

I was so angry after reading that thread, especially happening on the white guys who predictably think compromise is okay. Need to touch, smoke, and roll in some grass today.

I use the AP, Al-Jazeera, and occasionally the BBC. Also follow some independent journalists and outlets related to specific issues. Teen Vogue and Rolling Stone have done some good reporting. Also follow hyperlocal reporting for my area. It's an ever-shifting landscape, for sure.

I did read the article. As usual, the framing by the headline was terrible. NPR's reporting has declined over the last few years and they've certainly positioned themselves as middling. It's not meeting the moment. There are better options.

Yep. Misogyny has no party affiliation.

Criminy NPR, are you even trying journalism?

This is what companies need to understand. Bowing down, getting rid of DEI, isn't going to save your bacon. Instead, you lose customers and the fucking fascists come after you anyway. Enjoy being feasted on by hyenas while your business loses.

Geez, fauxbilly, why don't you tell us one of these "jokes" you're so worried about.

Probably shouldn't give into my animus in comments. After all, there would be a few good people just trying to do their job on that plane. I'm going back to hoping for targeted heart attacks or lightening strikes on the golf course.

Who the fuck is stopping men from doing any of these things? No one should take advice from a dude who does not value his own wife and children, by spewing racism and misogyny everywhere he goes. Jesus, the mediocrity.

For the rest of my life I will be asking people what they did during the Trump administration. Where were they when America was being stripped down for parts? Did they collaborate? Were they Republican? Were they cheering when resegregation & misogyny were actively pursued? I'll want to know.

Short term gains, long term losses will afflict any organization that kowtows to this administration. Support organizations with a backbone. We see you and we will remember.

I think it's clear that we are untrustworthy as a nation.

It seems self-defeating, because in the end you won't have lasting power & you will have lost any integrity. The powerful turn on you the second they feel threatened - cut off access, ruin your livelihood or kill you, in/directly. Proximity at the expense of integrity has a very high price.

This article about public comments was interesting. Sounds like they become part of the record when legal challenges ensue and the agency has to justify themselves.

I just wrote that binary gender choices were intended to enforce erasure of transgender and intersex people. I used language from the ACLU site. I think the deciding factors are less about the quantity and more about the persuasiveness/uniqueness of the argument.

Oh shoot. I just saw a great post from someone listing some responses. I'll see if I can spot it for resposting.
