Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary or John “revolt is the right of the people” Locke which businesses in the American colonies he was a shareholder in.

I do think a lot of pundits thrived in debate club as young people and now apply that to how every discussion should work.

There’s this sort of obsession with discourse and debate and the proposed rules of debate that doesn’t really map onto the actual social interactions most people Have IRL.

People on the left who’s primary focus in politics is to root out ‘Zionists’ (which often seems to include anyone who disagrees with their methods even if they’re not Zionist) as well as being often antisemitic are just completely toxic and draining.

‘I saw Goody Proctor dancing with the Zionist’. I overheard one man on the conference floor when amendment 3 was being debated ‘why can’t they go to non Zionist synagogues’? Why do you care? Get a fucking grip

Oh my god, they did the meme.

The "this fucking sucks actually vs literal coolest thing ever meme".

A guy sneering, wearing a Vote Conservative hat is saying "This fucking sucks actually" while pointing to the AI generated version of Rayner from the Tory Party Conference tapestry, vaping and drinking a beer. She has the words "literal coolest thing ever" above her.

I think it’s partly that Narnia has become an important part of modern Christian culture and therefore people take it more seriously As an expression of faith as well as a fantasy classic.

I guess there's some sort of "somebody logs onto the internet for the first time every day" sorta thing going on here, but how are people not so _bored_ of constantly pretending to be mad about this stuff? On some level to Permanently Furious Nerd Boys just strike me, ironically, as hobbyless.

... and the latter is very obviously in fact a racist movement, the former is, I dunno, depends what you think of 19th century nationalism in general (I probably would not call all such things racist ideologies fwiw), and so there is just ambiguity because different people hear different things?

Not really able to handle Big Debate right now but isn't it just that some people are using "Zionism" to mean "the core proposition of a 19th century nationalist movement i.e. that the Jewish people get a state" some people to mean "the ideology of the present expansionist settler movement"...

I remember when there was hot debate within DSA about this kind of thing, and even the advocates for the anti-Zionist resolutions went out of their way to claim that this wasn't what they wanted to happen.

The NYT story is a great example of NYT making informing readers subordinate to pushing their agenda. If you read it carefully, it's clear that Democrats have largely decided to counter attack by saying Rs are obsessed with trans issues and neglecting things that impact ordinary Americans.

Yeah. Occasionally there were conventional punchlines! But they weren't really "funny" in any contemporary sense. Peanuts was just a VIBE, more or less.

If you're only familiar with the franchise via its surviving legacy of holiday specials and Snoopy merch, it may not be apparent to you how many strips were just Charlie Brown saying something that would get an adult red-flagged for potential suicidal ideation, and, like, that was the joke.

In spite of being of the correct generation to have grown up while "Peanuts" was still in active publication, it's always a little surreal to be reminded that the most popular comic strip in the English-speaking world for fifty solid years was about an eight-year-old with clinical depression.

This is one of the funnier things I've seen. The blue-haired lesbians (literally; this is not a caricature) are not gonna vote for Steve Hilton, and the right is already repulsed by the idea of a lesbian voting for a good, clean (white) Republican candidate. Who is the intended audience for this ad?
