I will never hate Father Figure by Taylor Swift because how many other glittery pop songs can I relate to my favorite vintage gangsters? there are none (first two verses are Arnold Rothstein, bridge and last verse is Charlie Luciano)

One of the curious things about Ro Khanna is that he is clearly not actually terminally online at all but desperately wants you to THINK he is, because he thinks that's how you get the youth support Someone truly online has known that the squirrel is a freak for years, before the Nazi shit leak

as ever i'm struck by the doublethink of these people, who feel the need to dress up their mindless longing for heirarchy and exclusion in the language of liberalism--"high trust," material prosperity, blah blah blah it's a form of magical thinking: "if we do enough racism, good things will happen"

It is actually a very liberating thing to realize that romaine lettuce is just another leafy green and can be cooked the same way as the others "Oooh I bought lettuce for sandwiches and now I have a bunch left what do I dooo" chop it up, stir fry it with onions, and eat it as a side dish, ya wuss

people on ecks dot com were praising Todd Rundgren because the headline of the article focused on him shitting on taylor swift when if you actually read the article it is very literally an old man complaining about women succeeding and how music should be for men

FOR THE RECORD mural painting can actually serve a real public health role in some circumstances—the city of Indore successfully used murals to discourage public urination and built insta spots where people were throwing trash to change that behavior.

I was not the first person to point out that when some people describe their ideal anarchist/communist future it sounds a lot less like an egalitarian commune and a lot more like the lifestyle Thomas Jefferson got to enjoy as 200 people tilled his fields

Like the "I would make lattes in the revolution" posts from way back, I would take this sentiment more seriously if they would admit society requires necessary labor that people DON'T WANT TO DO and have to be either paid or forced Notably this post does not say "you dream of cleaning sewers"

It frustrates the hell out of me that people in general have never wanted more to be seen as activists but also never been more lazy and addicted to instant gratification, so they just start using activist-coded language in their existing pop culture consumption and call it a day

Boardwalk Empire is a great work of art because it ended a century-long dark age of mobster history only being a fascination of wannabe macho men who, like cowards, would never dare speculate that Lansky and Luciano might have actually been fucking

The lede is like something a soldier might have written decades after storming Omaha Beach, and having lived long enough to tell his grandchildren about how he somehow survived that fateful day.

For years, the first thing I did upon awakening was check Twitter to see if I had been canceled. After a quick name search to ensure that there was only the usual amount of frothing denunciation, I could get on with my day.

Ds should do social events to maintain a presence in people's lives and serve as a way of touching grass / networking but by social events I mean precisely two things: food and volunteering through established local orgs.

Ngl, it does really frustrate me that the media narratives surrounding the Dem party are inevitably controlled by people in the least competitive districts, who project their local politics on everyone else. Where are the opt-eds saying how national Dems can learn from Abigail Spanberger?

Honestly the main lessons of Kitchen Nightmares are 1. If you for some reason think owning a restaurant is a chill retirement activity, stop that and 2. If you are a regular at a restaurant or bar and the owner comes to you and suggests you buy the place, you are being had, gtfo

People need to separate "practically, we need a Movement Leader (who specifically appeals to me) to win the next presidential election and maintain long-term gains, it's just science" and "I have personally not felt alive since Bernie dropped out in 2020 and crave how I felt back then"

The lesbian bar article reminded me of when I saw a friend's show at this anarchist bar in Brooklyn. There were socialist zines at the door, an ideological essay printed on the menus, and anti-cop messages on the walls. I went to the bathroom. There was no soap. As in, not even a dispenser.

Wait why WAS Garth Brooks openly pro-gay as far back as the 90s Who got in that 1960s Oklahoma theatre kid's life and convinced him that the gays deserve rights, so much so that songs he released at the height of his career had lyrics about people loving who they want? Anyway I love Garth Brooks

Actually, willingness to whitewash Trump is another sign of misogyny. This man was a rapist before his presidency was a twinkle in Steve Bannon's eye. If I hear one more person claim he could have been just a sassy Broadway producer, I'm going to scream. Non-political Trump is still a rapist.

Jesus people on this site are so desperate to believe Trump is a force of nature who could be made into a weapon for good if only Democrats Had The Courage And Talent "Donald Trump is evil and always has been" is just true. Dude was a cheat and a slumlord. Stop pretending he just lost his way.

My hottake: encouraging celebrities to "use their platform" and be loudly political is a bad idea not because it's intrusive to polite society but because most of them are dumb as shit outside their chosen profession we don't need to encourage being loud and influentially wrong

I brought this up during my masters because we were uncritically learning the virtues of P2P learning for class improvement. I said my genius sister taught herself to read at 3 and my parents were angry that she was forced into a mini teacher role in kindergarten. They left the school.
