a Twitter bio for the account @non_left_PJ_Fan with the display name Pearl Jam Fanatic Non-Woke🇺🇸:

Pearl Jam superfan… Always found PJ better/more profound than Nirvana, but also find PJ off the mark on politics… Tool lover as well.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

I think its important to understand the campus sexual assault crisis is way worse than you think. universities suspend just 1/12,400 students each year for sexual misconduct & expel 1/22,900. once you read title ix administrators in their own words, you get a sense why that is:

“Michael, I have great affection for you and you live a very rich and interesting life, but you live in a bubble. What you're describing is a self-curated bubble. If you haven't heard the song that's been #1 on the charts for 23 weeks, you live in a bubble and you should probably be aware of that.”

Happy 30th to Pinkerton www.welcometohellworld.com/the-world-ha...
The thing is the realization of just how revelatory Pinkerton was retroactively unlocked things about the Blue Album that I didn't notice within it at the time. 1996 would have been right around when I and almost everyone my age first started getting into emo (which I wrote about here) and the desperate raw emotions and barely held together fraying textures of Pinkerton cast some of the more yearning songs of TBA in a different light. Oh. Ok. Wow. These guys aren't just songwriting and production perfectionists and "nerd chic" hipsters they're also fucking weird and very very very sad. One of them anyway.

You're not going to build a durable progressive coalition from guys like this, but they're the exact types of voters who Democrats claim they want to win in '26 and '28 — but when you bring AI $ into it, it turns out that effort only extends to doing things like discarding trans kids and immigrants.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
