#callowaygolf made an add with an maonspheric content producer that glorified violence against women. Nothing about it was a mistake. They chose the misogynistic bros. We see you Calloway. #misogyny.

I think it's key to understanding their worldview that they imagine a world not *without* immigrants, but one in which immigrants' inferiority is permanently asserted and they become a subservient caste. All these people worship the Gulf States.

Folks, I am as anti -AI as anyone for creative, surveillance and other uses. But- after reading about it, I bought my blind father some Meta glasses- and they are LIFE CHANGING for him. If he picks up a book they read to him! Daughter took him to a restaurant and they read the menu! 1/?

Holy shit, THAT is a fucking LEDE

Screenshot of text:
Every "redpilled" man who comes of age seems to experience an identical fantasy: to leave his liberal, feminist country for somewhere much poorer and more traditional to find a wife who will replace his mother in her caretaking duties, with the bonus of providing all the sex they could want.

At this point, JK Rowling has spent more time and energy writing about how much she hates a vulnerable part of the human condition that never did one goddamned fucking thing to harm her than she ever did writing Harry Potter.
