One of the things about modern transmisogyny is that it gave right-wing regimes an avenue through which they institutionally recuperate feminism while actively eroding the rights of women and queer people, openly trialing new anti-gay marriage arguments and reifying womanhood as reproductive.

They deemed Dave McKenna's pen too dangerous for the Great American State Fair, and having read McKenna they may have been right to be afraid defector.com/trumps-state...

Pretty fitting, though, to center on a Chinese food item that is an American invention based on a misunderstanding of China.

i think on a moral scale this is almost on par with just killing the guy

If you regret missing out on the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, can I interest you in a trip to Staten Island? defector.com/a-front-row-...

questions for my bottom surgeon: do I need electrolysis? will it be able to read blu rays? is it DVD-R compatible?

I truly don’t see how this country can go on if we don’t ban online sports betting. This story is stomach-turning.

The new Ghost In The Shell is amazing, but it makes me a little sad to see people backhandedly dismissing the older adaptations. SAC and the Oshii films are wonderful, and I always resent the idea that a faithful adaptation is inherently better or more artistically legitimate

On this day in 1868, the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. It is best known for guaranteeing full citizenship and its protections to Black Americans. It also includes guidelines on disqualifying candidates who participated in insurrection or rebellion against the government.

The cherry on the sundae is that she's a policy wonk for Heritage, so getting this sort of coverage is part of her job, but it also speaks to how the NYT's culture pieces are basically, 'journalist interviews their friend in the same elite circles.'

It’s New Foods Day for the Minnesota State Fair and this, to me, is the promise of America www.mnstatefair.org/new/food

SFF, we need to talk. I'm not here to rag specifically on Bona, who did the right thing by going public. No, I'm looking at all of you. Or at least, 15 of you. Because this right here? This is buckwild.

Somebody SOMEWHERE had to finally put evangelical missionaries in their place after all these years but I definitely did not have Brazilian soccer fans on my bingo card

The Islamic Republic of Japan isn't real, the Islamic Republic of Japan can't hu- oh

you can tell where a staff person has recently moved by its designation as an up and coming neighborhood

"Christofascism "knows the cross only as a magical symbol of what Jesus has done for us, not as a sign of the poor man who was tortured to death as a political criminal... [it is] a betrayal of the disappointed, a miracle weapon in the service of the mighty." — Dorothee Sölle

does anyone have any tips for the new progression raid? I'm running the Clinton duo unit, 6* Tony Blair (obviously) and Summer James Carville rn and I can't get past phase 2. gear problem?

Speaking as just one guy who sues the government a lot: This basically does not happen. It is a transparent effort to shut down further inquiry by conceding relief. What they are seeking to cover up must be unspeakably bad.

this is like the literal opposite of true. the most fruitful eras of the modern democratic party coincided with periods where the walls separating political radicals from the mainstream were way less solid

having a braindead and extremely hysterical punditry is a telltale sign of a soccer nation. this is good! now the next step is to give a special name to the crushing Belgium loss to mark and honor it as a historical event. my proposal is the Shame of Seattle.

There is a good chance that if this had happened to me in this story, I would have died. www.thedrive.com/news/how-flo...

how it feels when my wife is in a bad mood but I need to talk to her about something

Hm I wonder what the whole entire point of a neutral athlete team is

jesus christ how bad are the mets

Happy five years to the GOAT trans meme, decided it was time to update it properly

Houston is the 4th largest city in the nation. ICE is here, has been here, and killed a man here. His name was Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Don't let that pass you by because it's not on your feed as much as Chicago or Minnesota or LA.

Whatever, go my 300 pigeons

Here’s the part we all want to know which is behind the paywall. You’re welcome.

Kinda been obsessed with this video lately

oh neat, Vance got Yooned by Kirkification

look I’m sorry but if you can’t find it at least plausible that Lupita Nyong’o’s beauty sparked a war that’s a skill issue

here’s your benny hill

the only surprise out of the Make-a-Wish Administration for Dipshits here is that Kash wasn’t involved

and, as a fun aside, that episode contains one of my favorite little anecdotes - the time the FBI grilled Mahmood Mamdani about his alleged communist leanings... and accidentally turned him onto marxism

when i was young they had these people called “investigative journalists” who could find out stuff like if a senator was dead or not

Donald Trump has no shame, but Folarin Balogun is a class act. He spoke to Belgian head coach, Rudi Garcia, after the match. Garcia said of Balogun "He came to talk to me. I really liked that. It is not his fault. He is not the one to blame. That's what I told him." H/T @resistrebelrevolt.net

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election

ngl was not expecting the insightful, sober USMNT commentary thread to come from my councilmember
