Beavis always gets so upset when Butthead accuses him of spanking his monkey. I wish these boys understood that nobody should be ashamed of that because spanking one's monkey is a healthy expression of sexuality when not done in excess

I mean, no, the reason cops are disproportionately likely to say they believe rates of false allegations are higher than they are is because cops are disproportionately likely to do things that would make them the subject of allegations that are true

Most criminal justice experts estimate that 2 to 8 percent of sexual assault allegations are actually false. But law enforcement officers tend to assume the rate of false reporting is much higher—in part because police officers don't always receive training on how trauma can affect memory or behavior.

If you're a reporter asking a candidate to denounce a foreign terrorist group simply because he shares the same religion, you are a gutter bigot of the worst fucking kind. Do they ask Mike Rogers to denounce Christian terrorists like Tim McVeigh, Eric Robert Rudolph and Robert Lewis Dear? No? Huh

The dirty secret is that rich people need to live in politically stable regimes in order to keep their wealth. They will piss and moan about taxes, but they will not flee en masse. They like paved roads and not being kidnapped too much.

It's a symptom of the creeping beigeness of society (at least the one I dwell in). Vibrancy, unabashed enthusiasm, color, larger-than-life emotions, wonder that's big enough to trigger the imagination to get over the hump of the physical execution of an effect, people are scared/resentful of that.

“Our” BBC is already complicit in the death of trans children through Newsnight’s constant promotion of pseudo-science, and moreover the BBC has ALWAYS had it out for LGBT+ people. This is very much just the BBC being the BBC. Abolish it.

Can we be honest that so called 'wokeness' meant Black people demanding full social personhood and refusing to be silent about getting murdered/harmed by the state? So yes, that is more threatening to many in this country than is fascism. I think that's been clear.

This exact thing is the special sauce that makes a good story fantastic and it's why I'm such a hard ass in my critique. Starling House is beautiful in its depiction of poverty and place but "the earth itself is made rotten by powerful men abusing the powerless long ago" makes it *transcendent*

cults aren't the only type of organization that uses vocabulary control — inventing a jargon specific to the cult to distinguish insiders and separate and alienate them from the outside world — as a method of controlling its members, but all cults do vocabulary control.

American small business owners largely see themselves as lower-level rentiers in a quasi-feudal economy as opposed to service providers in a competitive market economy, and part of that means not having to actually be competent at providing services

No one is arguing the Fort Hood shooter shouldn’t be punished for the horrific crime he committed. The point is that the execution shouldn’t be live streamed on national television, because of the damage that does to us.
