Is it a good sign that it took me a solid minute or so of staring at the last row in confusion for it to click that they are being transphobic

Hey remember how I said anti-Black racism was becoming acceptable alongside sexism in certain online "left" circles after recent primaries

It is truly bonkers when an event happens that leads a bunch of conservative men to just willingly, publicly go "Hey, I also see my wife as a subhuman hole-on-command who also performs free labor, that's just being a guuuuuy amirite lads??"

"I'm drunk and horny and you don't get to say no because we're in a relationship" is more common a mindset than people admit Knew a guy in NYC who said one of his standards of a relationship was that she had sex whenever HE wanted. Didn't understand why the women at the table found that upsetting

TIL that Putin thought Barney and Miss Beazley were inadequate presidential dogs because world leaders should have big, stately dogs and bragged that they weren't as tough as his labrador this smacks of gender

One more dog hottake Between your dog being ethical, affordable, and aesthetically selective, you can pick two. Just know that if you choose affordable and aesthetically selective, you are likely also getting 'behavioral challenges' in the mix.

my dog hottake is that Retro Pugs are cuter than the current breed standard. Pugs and french bulldogs make me sad, and I prefer a dog that looks like it can breath properly.

My biggest petpeeve in Audio Drama writing and acting: Character 1: we thought we were in the clear until...thing. Character 2: ...Thing? Character 1: Thing....thing changed everything..nothing was the same...

When debating matchup primary polling, remember that people are more comfortable with hypotheticals. The polling will change dramatically once an actual choice has to be made. My mom told me in 2016 that she would have voted for Biden if he were the nom. Come 2020? Oh she can't vote Biden bc...

Fascinating that people who will openly proclaim their opposition to "Trans Rights Activists" react with outrage when people describe that as "anti-rights".

How did anyone watch Fried Green Tomatoes and not realize it was a sapphic movie?

Back to back homeruns and the nats still lose Fuck me

The porn bots are not sending their best

Again, this was my suburban Republican parents' excuse for voting Trump.

“He dedicated his life in the United States to giving his family the American dream,” Ronaldo said. "He deserved to live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, a father, and a job creator for dozens of men who also wanted the American dream.”

Guess what girlypop the local ladies also think you're a pig, they were just afraid to say so

I'm beginning to think the Intercept was not a good workplace for women

Honestly Will, I really want to vibe with you on this, but I can't. Platner is obviously the way he is in part BECAUSE he has had people his whole life "feeling sorry for him and his trauma" instead of treating him as responsible for his own actions.

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

A major problem with the party is that seemingly no one who goes into Dem organizing or consulting can clock a Small Town Rich kid pretending to be working class. And there is nothing Small Town Rich kids love MORE than pretending to be working class!

One thing I have heard from recovered addicts is that it's common for people early in their sobriety (like less than 5 years) to suddenly feel delusions of grandeur about their own wisdom and enlightenment

Ngl from now on I will look askance at any man who complains about HR. "Layoffs!" Done by the bosses, actually "Throwing out your resume" I have only talked to HR for softball initial screenings. They are the easiest part of the process! So why are you interacting so much with HR, my guy?

The funny thing is that my sisters think I am this naive ingenue dancing through life and trusting everyone and everything but I am actually arguably hyper-vigilant, at least with men.

I think the Platner thing hit me so hard bc it was one of the most protracted, widespread acts of misogynist gaslighting from my own side that I've seen. We were presented with an obvious violent scumbag who was constantly lying (badly, might I add) and told we were crazy for not loving him

came to me while chillin outside

DONALD TRUMP KEEPS INSULTING GOD AND GOD PUNISHES US ALL

FDT FDT FDT HE DID THIS TO US

DONALD J. TRUMP IS A JINX!!!!!!

This has legs as a reaction gif

I stg if we lose this game I am blaming Trump for losing us favor with God

Shameless. Utterly shameless. This woman, who also worked for Fetterman, was cashing checks by Platner and defending him till the bitter end. Now she says you can't call her out on this because then you're happy about rape ):

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

hot take: no one actually wants 'authenticity' in politicians: people want a performance that is both competent and has them as the target audience. lots of politicians derided as wooden and stiff are being more 'authentic' than politicians who are personable and likable, who are performing

bsky.app/profile/eggm... I will never stop reposting this

i think one of the biggest cleavages in politics right now is between people who genuinely like women and want them to do well, and between people who at best view them as a means to an end and at worst view them as a warm hole they get to keep in their house

Reuben Gallego loudly endorsed TWO rapists this cycle. TWO.

There is LITERALLY a taylor swift song about this

When you're so dismissive of women you don't even follow the rule of never trusting a guy who says all his exes are crazy

In general I think AOC acts like a left-wing pick me a little too much, like there are men on the left who she promotes that she absolutely would not if they didn't make her look like a Cool Girl. But she has her limits to her credit.

@dcabortionfund.bsky.social so about you guys posting and then firmly defending the article condemning a feminist org for endorsing against a literal rapist

If Platner must crash and burn and take the US Senate and US judiciary with him, can he please, for the love of god, at least take Ryan Grim, the Pod Save bros, and Morris Katz too

Pod Save America? NO NO NO, POD DAMN AMERICA!

"Men who loudly defend rape are hit dogs hollaring" should be obvious and yet

I'm sorry how do you even come across a guy with this much baggage without anyone noticing? Does Tune Inn only hire the worst people they've ever met?? (I will say it wouldn't surprise me, the vibes of that entire block are RANCID)

I do NOT believe in fast-tracking celebrities to political positions but Senator McDreamy would be funny as fuck

My hottake is that what killed McMorrow is the nationalization of the race in which she didn't fall into any of the 2016 proxy war categories and the fact that she never came across as authentically representative of Michigan

Maybe they'll finally learn something

The security guard at the door:

Starfire reports stress eating two Wendy’s cheeseburgers, fries and ten spicy nuggets played no role in her gaining weight.
