I am against the rise of largely unfettered online gambling to begin with, but it feels like society has collectively forgotten the concepts of a double standard or a conflict of interest!

I do not mean to single out LeBron James, but it feels completely bizarre to me that an active player is allowed to promote "prediction markets" but would get banned for life for using that service to bet ten dollars on their own team to win a game.

The biggest reason why the election results in Brazil have gone the way they have is due to U.S. intervention. The U.S. is the single greatest threat to a just, lasting world peace. It is the duty of the left here in the U.S. to oppose American imperialism. That’s of the utmost importance.

As ICE arrests increase and the number of people in detention has hit a record high again of over 70,000, immigrant communities can’t wait another second. Constituents can’t wait until Congress is back in session. Urge your representatives to stop this escalation at aclu.org/stop-ice_killings

The same can and should be said for all of us men, myself included. The vast majority of us dudes who consider ourselves to be decent human beings *are not* doing anywhere close to enough in our day-to-day to dismantle the patriarchy, and that has to change.

men are not poodles. they are not dogs. many of them are fully human adults who make choices to harm other people. they can be held accountable for those choices without needing to play rhetorical games that take their agency away and blame their behaviour on unseen forces.

i don't believe that. i don't believe men are untrustworthy, uncontrollable, and irredeemable. maybe i've read too much bell hooks, but i don't believe that men benefit from patriarchal conditioning or rape culture in the ways these attitudes and statements would have us believe.

this is why i don't place much stock in heteropessimism or biological essentialism. attitudes like this put forth a rationale that men can't help but be sexual predators, because they're hardwired for it. this also posits that it is a woman's fault for being harmed if she shares space with a man.

this is pretty much exactly what liam neeson said when recounting his story of looking for black men to hunt down and assault because his friend was attacked by one. there's a whole world of rhetoric out there that doesn't resort to making comparisons between grown men and slavering beasts.

i fully understand that tensions are high right now and many women are on edge, but this is exactly the kind of thing that white women say to justify calling the cops on black and brown men for existing in public. please get better talking points.
If you are viciously attacked by a poodle, you’re likely going to be nervous around poodles, even if not all poodles plan to attack you. We think this is reasonable. When you consider that nearly all women have been harassed or assaulted by a man, why is it not also reasonable here?

One of the things that infuriates me about living here in the U.S. is the extent to which most Americans willfully refuse to confront the horrors of our country’s foreign policy. Folks will talk about literally any other injustice on the face of the earth, but remain silent on violence such as this.

It is hard to understate the conundrum that is that legitimate concern for Palestinians and legitimate criticism of the Israeli gov't was the perfect cover for antisemites to claim their greatest foothold in the political consciousness within the 21st century.

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Led by their stars, the Phillies are back in the playoffs. Anything can happen from here.
The Phillies are in the playoffs for a fifth consecutive season, and nothing that happened over the last six months matters anymore. Remember 2022?
