Yeah, because you know what creates an "amiable environment for travellers"? That's right, TSA agents who are grouchy and irritable from having to stand in place all day like the Swiss Guard with significantly less cool uniforms.

"Adding punctuation turned Hebrew into a spoken language" Okay one of us is confused about what either "spoken" or "punctuation" means. (And Free Palestine, of course, but also can y'all please find a way to say that without this weirdass denial re the Jewish historical sense of peoplehood?)

It's really striking how much the "warrior ethos" crowd seem to be devoting their military-reshaping efforts to every damn thing except the things that would make the military actually effective at doing war.

In the wake of the largest rollback of civil rights for a minority group in modern history, some Dems aren't asking how to undo it, they're asking for permission to support it. There has been a gusher of money poured from VC and SV types into Searchlight, Third Way, and The Argument to enable it.

Imagine if instead of regulating drone risks the normal way (which we did), we instead paid weird bloggers lots of money to worry about superintelligent dogs sprouting thumbs and using drones to kill us. This is pretty much how the US is approaching AI risks and regulations. My latest:

The idea that women are given special rights based on sex is a remarkably absurd framing and not how discrimination protections actually work in practice. It can only stem from a thoroughly right-wing understanding of the world that believes marginalized people are granted extra entitlements.

The ongoing obsession with rape at elite schools — because no one gives a shit about rape at some random community college, it’s always about the elite schools — is never really about the (usually female) victims, it’s about the (usually cis male) rapists, and that makes me so tired and so sad.

As a survivor reading between the lines of this very carefully written story it sounds like Jonathan McKinsey was a trans man in an abusive and controlling marriage who was targeted for violence repeatedly by his ex-wife and her parents and eventually murdered. But as a reporter? I can't be sure.

I’ve had so many Christians absolutely shocked that as Jews we don’t worship Jesus. I’ve been met with utter confusion. “Ok so how does he factor then? What do you see him as?” “We don’t even think about him. He was just a random guy.” They refuse to believe me.

The Democrat here, Blake Gendebien, is facing off against Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino. Constantino is literally running on "detransitioning America" and generally just hating trans people. Gendebien could've called Constantino out for being insane. Instead, he chose bigotry. Shame.

Like this book has this cover and is obsessed with the notion that our teenage daughters are turning transgender because they're not having enough sex in the parking lot of Denny's, and this is not an exaggeration.

Cover of "Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters" by Abigail Shrier, which depicts a girl child with a hole where her womb would be. Yes, really.

So according to Abigail Shrier, women are both being convinced by online social contagion to become men because "being woman bad" and are being convinced because of social contagion that "woman better than man". Fascists can never pick a lane can they?
