Erm, the suffragettes were not peaceful protestors, Jesus

This "suffragettes were politely transparent" judgement really pairs well with the "trans men are historically new" bit in the Cass Review for proving that knowledge of history is very relevant to policy, and currently that knowledge is bad

what i wish 3949 people were actually talking about

there are definitely reasons for doing it. but please be aware of your surroundings when you do!

Had to rip the classic from Instagram for this

Even before the convention, I’d been seeing and hearing a lot of Texas republican campaign ads and it really feels like the thing they’re zeroing in on as the main issue for the year is “sharia law” and more broadly the presence of Muslims in the state. Like they think Muslims have invaded the state

It’s wild to talk to folks about Missouri only to hear someone blame “the Democrats.” What Democrats? We’ve had a Republican legislative supermajority for over two decades and haven’t had a statewide elected Dem since 2018. Everything you see in this state is due to Republican authoritarianism.

That was the craziest part of the story to me

about half this country doesn't vote, they all have different reasons for that, i think these folks just got theirs

The White House, the core mansion, was burned once and completely gutted and rebuilt another time. Of course you can rebuild without losing the historical significance. It's a building, you're not going to lose the sacred Benjamin Harrison particles soaked up into the wood.

If the GOP loses Hispanic, Muslim, and Indian demos in the DFW the political effects will be seismic

At this point, I genuinely believe the entire public is being actively gaslit by both the media, and Esther Ghey herself, into forgetting that Brianna Ghey was murdered, by people she knew from school, in real life, who were partly influenced by transphobia, fuelled by the media and politicians.

when this happens, this also means mr schumer and the democrats' plan to sit around and do nothing and say very little while this guy trips over his own dick will fall apart spectacularly over the coming weeks

'We are clamping down on the harm caused by social media. 'Read all about it on the Nazi pogrom deepfake abuse website'

When I see a post with good alt text -- I'm not kidding about this -- I automatically think: "This is a person who is kind." And being kind is probably the most important thing anybody can be.

Again, irrespective of your personal political philosophy, you cannot run the Democratic Party in this way. It works for Republicans because the conservative mindset values blind obedience. Literally every data point you have says that likely Democratic voters hate being managed like this.

if you had a good riff on my "joe rogan is an alcoholic teletubby ain" skeet and i missed it, feel free to say it here on this much less popular post

If you want to purchase and use this stuff that's fine, I don't judge and in fact, I get it! But people should not accidentally get addicted to stuff they think is something else. If the only lines we have are "zero regulation" or "illegal" everything will eventually be illegal

One of my pet peeves is seeing incredibly potent narcotics sold and marketed like fucking Red Bull. People don't know what they're getting into and that is super dangerous. Don't play around with this shit.

I'm not a pro-ban person when it comes to substances but it remains beyond insane that 7-OH is being marketed and sold like it's 5 Hour Energy. This shit is not normal "kratom" and it's not an energy supplement. It's fucking Oxy and if you get addicted to it you will get dopesick.

While a tyrant held cage fights artists, activists, and ordinary people packed Town Hall to defend the First Amendment. De Niro testified. Miss Rachel named the children in cages. Wilson Cruz refused to disappear. This is what fighting back looks like. Read it: open.substack.com/pub/thejenni...

If I can’t trust Jack Links then who can I trust?

Just read an Amazon review of a guy that said he was a huge fan of Jack Links but their bacon jerky let him down. Kind of a modern tragedy

This looks like pure political retribution. But keep in mind that Newsom’s former chief of staff recently pleaded guilty to a slew of federal crimes and faces decades in prison. She was also Becerra’s top political adviser. A perfectly weaponizable clusterf— that some of us feared.

It's the reason the Arrested Development reboot sucked. It lifted up EVERY single actors career profile so much hat they were all too expensive to pay for a long shoot with big family scenes so they did it all piecemeal with zero chemistry.

Hey, real quick: everyone preorder Ben Wikler's book right now.

I think Vance is very intelligent; but I think matters dramatically less than most people do.

I've lost count how many times I've thought of this 'The Dark Knight Rises' line over the past decade

Huge week for me, the world’s only Knicks, Canes, and Cape Verde national soccer team fan

When de White folks started attacking me for panning THE BREADWINNER, I knew which side of the aisle he was on. Also, he's not funny, another clue.

Okay if you’re a teen impersonating a 38-year-old on this website here’s a list of Simpsons references you need to know:

Forget about his reactionary politics. Forget about the part that Ryan Nelson is apparently a stone-cold psychopath. I don't believe ANYONE who parks a vehicle like this is fit to be a federal judge. We As A Society must have standards. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/the-senate...

fox news has a constitutional right to exist and we have the same right to call them on their shit.

I need you to go look at a list of Olympic gold medalists over the last 100 years

wait the KNICKS are proof that Europe has better athletic training??

How many medals does China have relative to us

Not sure you could have picked a worse example for your (terrible) argument than the famously internationally-minded Spurs playing against an overwhelmingly American knicks roster

this is one of those 'study the great books but don't think about them in any kind of critical or interesting way' chuds, right?
