We say men are less emotional because we coincidentally don't define anger or reacting because of ego as emotions.

Good thread, and I will add that men DO NOT LIKE IT when women say "hey, you fucked up," and to the extent that women tend to soften the blow with indirectness, it's because men feel like their honor is insulted if they have to take feedback from women.

"I unequivocally reject identity politics" i scream, right before selecting my five gallon cowboy hat for my Fox Business interview.

The more democratic elements of the American constitutional and economic order are actually throwing up road blocks to Trumpism. Protests and boycotts and low level courts and juries and cetera. Elite actors on the other hand are all too frequently caving. Fascinating study in who actually cares!

This is really impressive. They invented racism.

Should women be hated as witches or patronized as overgrown children? The paper of record debates the two available options.

institutional investors really need to start planning to divest from this company, if the consumer rubes want to pay him a trillion dollars to keep driving the company into the ground, let them drown

making Jacob the stereotypical Bluesky user is the rudest and truest attack anyone has ever made on us

Look I get publishing a broad spectrum of opinions but I already fed them this morning

RIP Dick Cheney, you would have loved to see the Senate refuse to vote on constraining presidential authority to wage war against fishing boats he doesn't like

I like how their entire strategy was predicated on republicans over-performing on Tuesday and instead it completely blew up in their faces

You may be able to indict a ham sandwich but you cannot convict one

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Entering a very deja vu life stage where my chief exposure to contemporary celebrities is through their Sesame Street guest spots

I'm just a small town labor girl but gosh this sure sounds illegal to me

As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions. Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

We all saw the election results little man, and I don’t think it’s the Democrats that are being hurt politically here somehow

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

Last year I decided the winning strategy is to tell the kids that we put jack o lanterns out to feed the squirrels

Watching RFK jr run away from someone collapsing feels like a harbinger of things to come

Sandwich man leaving court

Look upon my works, ye mighty

Very much reminiscent of what I see regularly from toddlers when their routine is unexpectedly disrupted

We *know* shockingly little about prehistory—we *speculate* about it, in ways that tend to reaffirm our own assumptions and biases, and then these speculations become sage wisdom about human nature, but only to the exact extent that they assert that women evolved to make sandwiches.

The key thing to watch here: they fired a Wired political reporter. That’s the title doing the most effective, pointed work. Teen Vogue’s stuff was culturally impactful, but less focused on investigating the administration. Within the Condé portfolio, Wired and the New Yorker are the canaries.

Oh so NOW he thinks disease might be communicable

Alarming criminalization of green card holder based on "Antifa Materials" - another attempt to silence dissent and target people critical of this administration Release Des and the Prairieland Defendants!

This is really interesting because it speaks to why it is that AI often reminds me of an acid trip. Because on an acid trip your brain kind of loses the visual focus filter-- everything feels foregrounded, in detail.

I gotta say. Any of us with early experience having to navigate the externalization of masculine rage knows what it means when a man's voice takes on this sort of edge. When you're a kid it means make yourself scarce, fast.

Yeah that "idear" part was pretty rough even for him. And he really seems to be struggling to contain his rage. He's usually pretty good at maintaining the appearance of superficially easy-going mob boss. The mask is slipping.

The thought has crossed my mind and it's not an impossibility, but also. 1) we have a lot of AI eagle eyes on here and 2) Trump wouldn't choose to use AI instead of his own footage, and the filibuster thing seems to me like his personal fixation. Idk that this is what viziers would waste AI on

After the NYTimes published the op-ed "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", I remembered that a NYTimes Guild report in 2021 found "Overall, median pay for women was $10,000 less per year than for men, meaning women earned roughly 92 percent of what men earned." nytimesguild.org/papers/2021-...

Oh no there’s gonna be a mistrial

People who hate Zohran and everything he stands for: Now that Zohran has won, the most effective thing he can do is betray all of his principles

Did Chuck Berry ruin rock and roll? And if so, can Kenny G fix it?

Oh oops did we say the whole thing out loud? Our bad

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

No accountability for elites part one billion

You don't want to be the Trump administration when the judge starts with a wind-up like this

Ellis also finds that the feds' use of force in Chicago "shocks the conscience."

Judge Ellis says the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in their claim that the Trump administration "put substantial pressure on religious practitioners to modify their behavior and violate their beliefs."

After going through several incidents since the start of Operation Midway Blitz — like the ones above — Judge Ellis says, "those are the factual findings that I'm making to support this preliminary injunction."

If anything, those of us who pushed for such a reckoning have been punished more than the actual perpetrators. I spent over a year muzzled in SLAPP litigation for the high crime of... saying I believed a state senator's accuser. The senator sued us activists for defamation.

There was a concerted effort to ensure no one was held accountable in any way for the Iraq War and torture. That’s the reason most young people don’t know who Cheney is.

Go Fund Me for the teacher who was kidnapped in front of children in her classroom today: www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

Oh no Rudy's gonna do another 9/11

Seeing this bubble grow from the front row and yelling into the void as we head towards 2008 part deux is making me lose my mind.
