Objectively one of the worst people to write about this because she’s leaving out how she and other white women let a lot of these assholes slide because their first targets were Black women She called Milo charming dinner convo She can go to hell

Girls of all neurotypes are called upon to master masking incredibly early. Expressing anger is kept from them, for example. Self-control is pressed upon them. See also: "Keep sweet. Pray and Obey". As long as boys aren't too disruptive for their environment, "Boys will be boys" rules the day.

You could make the argument that this got me married. It never made me a better student, though.

We’re gonna end up with like eleven cops left. Even the horses are gonna be out.

LEO: And they're called "sins that cry out to heaven for vengeance," they're the absolute worst ones. ROGAN: I've heard of those. LEO: Yeah. ROGAN: Like making a fuckin homunculus. LEO: I don't think that's in there. ROGAN: I thought it was.

Can never get over how tawdry the modern Right's view of Western Civilization is; nothing to build, nothing to aspire to, nothing even really to destroy or wage war against, just sullen resentment of their own children and seething hatred of the cities whose economics subsidies their regimes.

"Nobody is watching, I can do anything I want and get away with it" is a magic incantation for a sociopath in an otherwise functioning society. Scaling it breaks the functional society, though, and none of the options for getting back to functionality are going to be pleasant.

I think another reason many Americans Feel Bad About the Economy: There is a constant barrage of information indicating to the casual observer that people who run scams and lie and refuse to play by the rules aren't just going unpunished, they're *making way more money than you are* as a result.

💯 this. Why should I uphold the social contract when Supreme Court enables election buying and Jan 6 denying.

Donating to online scammers posing as legitimate people in need is not morally neutral: You potentially are giving money to brutal slavery and human trafficking networks: www.ohchr.org/en/stories/2...

If you wondered why you were getting a lot more reply spam (the heartbreaking bit is how any Gazans who still have internet will be drowned out by the spammers which is another reason to support reputable charities)

It's this. I ended up "upwardly mobile" compared to my parents, really just treading water given how little wage growth we've seen. I make more than most of my friends and the "good choices" I made were mostly advantages that could have been completely wiped out by luck until the last couple years.

It was a glorious time of replies

All settled in for @amcinematheque.bsky.social’s screening of THE LONG GOODBYE as part of Noir City. Soon to be joining us in the Egyptian? Elliott Gould!

Don't Look Now (Nicolas Roeg, 1973)

And if you find yourself wondering if criticizing Ben Sasse in such a moment is a little mean, well, I suggest thinking about his vote to repeal the ACA (thus dooming many other Americans to miserable deaths) and all those kids dying of cholera thanks to the gutting of USAID to reconcile that.

that Ben Sasse interview is a weightless People-magazine like nothingburger of a chit-chat between two men who somehow still refuse to look reality in the face despite one of them actively dying from cancer.

“its unilateral disarmament to give up our sex pests while republicans keep theirs” is a really odd sentiment indeed. kind of like arguing that if your house has termites its unfair to call pest control if your neighbor lets the termites own his house

It’s a good question, let’s clear the air: 1) Disco is awesome, like 25 all-time classic tracks in a 4 year span, 2) Disco was hated because it was queer, brown, and black, 3) Disco was hated because it paired women and men in a different power dynamic. 4) “Disco Sucks” was a “ MAGA” test run.

It’s particularly stunning when someone replies to you that they don’t believe x y and z women who have come forward about sexual violence and then you click their account and their bio says “women’s rights”

Indianapolia, Indiana, 1965 by Joel Meyerowitz www.instagram.com/joel_meyerow...

Something to remember is that it took more than a year for Ronan Farrow to write the Harvey Weinstein story, and it’s not because he was lazy.

I'd bet real money that the Venn diagram for Swalwell defenders, Platner defenders, and Newsom's blue no matter who cohort is just a circle.

Time traveling to Dallas on November 22, 1963 and running up to JFK's car, yelling "noooooooo" and diving in slow motion to hold up his nephew in front of him as a shield.

Guess there’s variants…

Woah, look what I found in the wild! I talked to like three guys who’d read it. Good shit! @karnythia.bsky.social

Everyone talks about how awful the politics of Tesla drivers are but I don’t think we talk enough about how none of these assholes know how to fucking drive. It’s all either self drive garbage or the most mouth breathing Sunday driver bullshit.

In 1985, Wendy Carlos spoke about the reaction to her transition: "The public turned out to be amazingly tolerant or, if you wish, indifferent ... There had never been any need of this charade to have taken place. It had proven a monstrous waste of years of my life."

Future Stardom World Champion material right there.

"All you had to do was pay us enough to live," Chamel Abdulkarim declared while filming himself allegedly torching a 1.2-million-square-foot Ontario warehouse. The massive arson fire destroyed the facility. Abdulkarim was arrested after his video and catchphrase went viral on social media.

Yes, a failed impeachment vote is EVIDENCE THAT THE GOP APPROVES OF TRUMP'S ACTIONS AND A VIABLE GROUP OF POLITICIANS SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE SOMETHING OF THAT!

I'm now imagining a Federal Judiciary staffed entirely by 40k Orks and wondering how materially different it would be.

"Mom, help, I just shit my shirt."

The next administration must take the lesson of this one; every single immigration judge hired under Trump 2.0 must be fired on day one.

Well I just mistook Anthony Perkins for Nick Nolte. Time to go to bed.

Twin Peaks: A half-heart necklace on a mound of dirt at the rail-car crime scene.

i have more contempt for sasse than someone like, idk, tuberville, because sasse is a legit intelligent person who did everything terrible he did as a senator knowing that it was wrong

Brad Dourif burning some cops alive? Alright, you've got my attention...

Look at Mr. Moneybags over here looking down on a free liter of pop.

Most coming of age movies should have been therapy sessions. Most biopics shouldn't have been made at all.

a stone cold classic from the early lawless days of bluesky

Me: Egg creams have really important deep Jewish immigrant history in New York City and I really like them. Bluesky assholes:

People talk about elaborate revenge but nothing quite satisfies the same way as taking a shit in an enemy's mailbox.
