This is actually precisely the problem. People find the beauty in poetry and art, but not in calculus or physics. And this then reflects in our cultural values and pedagogy.

We should make humanities students take multivar.

Fox’s Jesse Watters says people who are against bombing shipwrecked people in international waters without due process or any evidence whatsoever that they have drugs or are even heading to 🇺🇸 “sound like lawyerly, whiny, effeminate weasels”

one way the media really fucked us over when it came to trump was portraying him as a big-time, powerful exec who had a ton of world class executive experience, when in reality he was an LLC king who got most of what he had by ripping off people he hired to do the work and cheating on his taxes

CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami. She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

dad went out to get a pack of cigarettes and they transgendered him now i have two moms help me mr trump

Trump: "Transgender for every member of your family. If they're not feeling well that night, let's just change their sex."

Oh yeah, get this guy on the stump.

8-0 Dem Colorado is going to be awesome.

you cannot just guilt the public out of hating and fearing AI

Last month, a former regional director for U.S. John Hickenlooper called a consultant hired by state Sen. Julie Gonzales, Hickenlooper’s new primary challenger. He warned of blacklisting if the campaign continued — but a “guaranteed” contract if it didn’t. www.denverpost.com/2025/12/09/c...

New level of local politics sicko unlocked: attend the campaign kickoff for a local judge race. I’ve known Habekah since 2020 when she spent damn near the whole year helping get protestors out of jail. She’ll be an amazing jurist. Please join me in donating! secure.actblue.com/donate/habek...

there is no path forward without denazification of the United States government

I feel like it's really obvious and in fact has been discussed ad nauseam that one of the main drivers of Gen Z's dalliance with the right, such that it exists at all, is that conservatism was *not* perceived as the dominant ideology being pushed by power structures

“everybody says they want to be John Brown but nobody wants to leave the peanut gallery” is a really good summation of Protest Tactics Discourse since 2020

meanwhile on twitter the dumbest, whitest people alive are mad at Zohran for sharing boilerplate advice from immigrant right's organizations

Yuuuuuup. Cassidy was the deciding vote to install RFK Jr. as the head of the American health system. We had decades of evidence that Kennedy was a dangerous crackpot, and it was ignored. Kinda late to be trying to CYA here.

Listen I hate Biden as much as the next guy, but for real reasons like appointing Merrick Garland or sending bombs to Israel. Every time someone says shit like "Biden promised he would be a one term president!" or "it's Biden's fault he had narrow legislative margins and an evil SCOTUS" I cry.

Is it just me or are they talking about Jews.

That's correct except they want their slave wife to still appear able to suffer. If you dug into this they'd say so. They do want a robot capable of being desperate and capable of being afraid.

Well this is a bit on the nose

“America’s Polarization Has Become the World's Side Hustle” too many people just focus on supply side of foreigners using tech for disinformation. Its the demand side - American society is broken yet wealthy - that makes it a business model www.404media.co/americas-pol...

Rolling Stone: clearly documents a 30+ year long con job. A rural county's own leadership lined their pockets by helping ag interests destroy the water supply. Everyone who read the article apparently??: Amazon data centers did this in 2011 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

“If you believe the MAGA postliberal project is real, then liberalism must understand MAGA is not a reaction to economic consequences or “elite failures,” but an affirmative preference for illiberalism. Liberalism must stop apologizing. Stop excusing. And fight.” www.thebulwark.com/p/maga-and-l...

Enough about filial piety It's time to start talking about parental piety

"racism? grow up, bros. we need to focus on misogyny"

increasingly I think being a man in 2025 is less about what you are (because you can be anything) and more about how you cope with the legacy of gender.

wait... a dude writes this utter crap and we're talking about him being smart? This is literally the dumb regressive thinking that Is hurting our men. Christ alive.

Not trying to dunk too hard on you but coming from the perspective of disabled guy on benefits: I don't know a single person faking their disability to get monthly checks but I DO know a few objectively disabled folks that cannot get on benefits because of gatekeeping.

for all the talk of Platner as another Fetterman I feel like we're underrating the chances he's more of a White Gallego

Free speech is white men being allowed to use the n-word and r-word again.

Zero reckoning from any of the elites who credulously parroted the absurd idea that the right wing was in favor of free speech.

Public libraries in Tennessee have begun to shut down as they carry out an order from state officials to remove children’s books containing LGBTQ+ themes or characters. www.rawstory.com/alternet-pos...

From the people who brought you "oh so it's racist to say that white people are better than black people?" comes "find me a single place in the law where it says not to commit murder."

Houses are too expensive for most homebuyers, but prices aren’t coming down because homeowners don’t want to sell at the price they bought at; they want to make money off of it. Private investment, which makes up a tiny amount of SFH owners, is a result of this situation, not a cause.

The thing about useful idiots in professional spaces is that the whole game, from the perspective of the fascist, is to constantly game them into taking ”innocuous” positions on any given day’s culture war issue, thus forcing them to perpetually conflict with everything left of the fascists.

Gender is easily observed, rigidly defined, and unchangeable, but a single lesson about it in college can trans even the most conservative student.

Accountants are cooked. AI is coming for you. Prepare accordingly. *Posts financials that gets the CEO thrown in jail*

(not all Christianity is Christian supremacism, G-d bless liberation theologians and trans clergy, but at some point we’re gonna need to talk about how we’ve had two Woke Popes in a row and it’s inconceivable to imagine either of them advocating self-governance for women religious)

individual discomfort with trans identity is sometimes just fear of the unfamiliar, but all organized transphobia is really three misogynies in a trenchcoat the entire ballgame is “keep people from opting out of the gender system that allows society to depend on women’s free labor”

the OU situation can be about erasing trans people from public life AND about enforcing Christian supremacy, because the campaign to erase trans people from public life is a Christian supremacist campaign trans people threaten Christian supremacy by refusing to perform the gender they were assigned

Democrats will continue to lose until they can develop an actual sense of morality. People like Gallego want to revert to a time where powerful men can assault woman without consequences, he should be expelled from the party and society

OBBB is a death sentence for the rural America that made Trumpism possible in the first place and I think commuting it should be low on the New Reconstruction priority list

I think too many in America have been in denial, and still are, to accept the fact that the MAGA movement has absolutely nothing to do with economic "pocketbook" issues, but is purely driven by white supremacy and misogyny.

like, that’s not even rooted in partisan leanings, it is an honest and factual evaluation of their established behavior. no one argues that, like, the westboro baptist church deserves a good faith hearing every time they appear in the news.

TPUSA have been at this long enough that the default assumption of their involvement in literally anything that has to do with college campuses should be an assumption of bad faith based on a long and well-documented history of bad faith actions

Man this guy sucks and he texts like a half-literate seven year old

Senator Ruben Gallego is one Democrat in desperate need of being primaried. We can't tolerate this brainlessly misogynistic jackass in the Democratic Party.

uhh fuck this to put it mildly "A live map that tracks frontlines of the war in Ukraine was edited to show a fake Russian advance on the city of Myrnohrad on November 15. The edit coincided with the resolution of a bet on Polymarket..."
