Political and economic systems collapse. It's inevitable. It may be imminent. We can deny it, resist it, or embrace it. To make the best of it, we need to start adapting now.

If a sentence in your newscast starts with “President Trump says…” you’re failing your audience.

the Heroic Protector Fantasy is rarely of real use to women, it's just wish fulfillment about male posturing and it frequently exacerbates violence it's also much easier to imagine yourself kicking the ass of an obviously villainous stranger than to to actually intervene where you have influence

Millennials can’t reveal all this information because we like to complain about how exploitative Mr Beast is, and he is, but Mr Beast would basically be on PBS in the early 2000’s, it would be the show with substance

John C. Calhoun wasn't a conservative; he was a radical. Stephen Miller isn't a conservative; he's a radical. "Tradition" isn't a real thing that once existed and we can go back to, or something worth conserving, but an imaginary place that they'll destroy the current world to create.

Reformist liberals compromised to keep the status quo by defusing social tensions caused by exclusion of large groups from the USA's institutions. Reactionary authoritarians are throwing all those compromises out the window, apparently assuming that the status quo is unshakable.

Is it just something that happens when you age, but I look at pretty much all people in power and control in our country as corrupt. Govt, business, you name it, the people in charge are corrupt. We vote for change and end up with somebody just as easily bought as the last one.

Can anyone find the screenshotted text exchange where a right-wing dude said women were "too emotional" because of "hormones," and a woman Socratically tricked him into admitting that rage and aggression were emotions, and testosterone was a hormone? Might use it in a piece on Clancy and carceralism

If OpenAI's bots take down the internet, it won't be because AI 'super-intelligence' is trying to overthrow humanity. It's because our leaders gave a supercomputer to a bunch of irresponsible geeks with god complexes. Their greed will get us all killed.

Is Pete Hegseth's mission to destroy the morale of the US military, deplete munitions without replacing them, and render it incapable of dealing with aggression from obvious adversaries like Russia and China? Increasingly, it looks that way.
