It's impossible to get good anime recommendations because frankly people are insane and the difference between a good anime and a bad anime is sort of like winning the lottery and getting shot dead point blank right to brain

I work at the newspaper and just wrote The Great Awokening is over, I’m both 79 and 12 years old and make 260,000 dollars a year from a man who sent Katy Perry into space on a rocket ship. As you can see, everyone else is the problem.

The Democratic Party has let a consulting industry exploit elderly donors in its name, wreck its reputation and finances in the process, and walk away rich whether the party wins or loses. When a mirror is held up, the instinct is to break the glass rather than look. On why the press looks away:

This is a story about the Democratic Party captured by its consultants, and about what happens when the pro-democracy press is asked to say so.

If you’re always tying your hair up or putting it in a claw clip might I suggest cutting it short enough that you can’t because then you don’t need to. Your hair never overstimulates you. It’s awesome.

The first part of this piece is free – the rest is exclusively for paid members. Being an independent writer offers a lot of autonomy, which is a privilege. But it is also consistently precarious and comes with lots of financial uncertainty. If you can become a paid member, please do.

Sunday reading: The glass is half-full. Or at least this is my attempt to argue it might be. We are confronted with a world-historic chance. I am taking down the paywall for this one, as I believe it remains relevant as a potential antidote to cynicism and declinism. This week’s piece:

A World-Historic Chance
The Right is freaking out because we could be on the brink of proving that egalitarian, pluralistic democracy is possible. A glass-half-full interpretation of our moment.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

A positive masculinity is one which annihilates the distinction and so annihilates itself entirely.

When people ask for "positive masculinity" they fundamentally ask to preserve the hierarchy in which manhood sits atop all. A gentler, kinder, less violent---or at least, less OPENLY violent model of manhood. Few are ready to confront that the problem is attempting to preserve manhood at all.

because I know y’all can’t click and read
1. "Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing.
Speech is the secondary or overlaid function.
Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.
2. Drowning people's mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people's mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.
3. Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water's surface.
Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.
4. Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.
5. From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people's bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs."

It's depressing how easily my fellow white liberals slide into embracing fascism as soon as they have to look at an unhoused person. Like... they see one poor person on the street and they are suddenly pro-jackboots and anti-civil liberties. It's nauseating.

It's especially great if you choose people that Alito and Roberts would HATE. People who are like "oh yes, there has always been a code of ethics and Alito and Thomas violated it, which is why the opinion of Justice Alito in 2022 is given no precedential weight."
