And yeah. 100% on that "My information diet isn't my fault" thing. It's embarrassing when the guys at church complain that they "Just can't open their phone without being swarmed by bikini pics everywhere." Yeah pornbots exist, but that sounds excessive!

All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

"They cant be assimiliated if I'm still racist against them" puts the entire onus of judging 'assimilation' on the feelings of a majority rather than the actual actions of the minority which, ofc, allows the majority to deny them that in perpetuity should they want to—which is exactly the point

I have tried to explain to people many times that the reason we don’t have the expanded child tax credit is that Joe Manchin really did believe poor people would spend it on drugs that was a (terrible) deeply held personal belief, not a lobbyist thing

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

Dems’ 2028 platform should include stuff like letting soldiers have beards, letting TSA agents sit down, letting generals get their promotions, etc. The deep state isn’t real but civil and uniformed services are. We need them to know which side respects their human dignity before MAGA’s next coup.

If the baseline argument is young men are just unevolved gorillas, which is what the defense of those men boils down to, why aren't more men offended at being likened to animals. You're cool with that? You're SELF LABELING with that? Okay. Why are unevolved gorillas in charge and not in zoos.

Like so much else with this idiotic war, this is easily the 10th time he's said almost exactly this. These sorts of threats--to the extent that thats what they are and not just verbal diarrhea--are now just completely hollow bc he keeps threatening this and then not doing anything.

I really think a lot of Marvel-heads aren't looking at how they are marketing "the groundbreaking trilogy" enough. If Loki is the key text to pay attention to for Doomsday, the Wandavision trilogy is the key text for Secret Wars, which is why the delay rumors are fascinating.

The Yuddite/rationalist primary defense mechanism is spurting out a big ink-cloud of thesaurus and number-laden complete nonsense, and then demanding that you waste your time "debating" them over it. The good news is that this trick is easily defeated by simply refusing to play the Debate Me game.

I believe the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment in all circumstances but the absurd joke of "lethal injection" is even more cruel and unusual than the others. A violent fiction to fool bystanders into thinking that they are witnessing a humane execution. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/u...

Fundamentally Jews being safe in NYC has *nothing inherently to do* with Palestine. Israel's genocide of Palestinians is a contributing factor to the rise in antisemitism, but that could end and there would still be antisemitic violence and harassment. Gotta disentangle them.

The way the Cornell victim is being publicly disbelieved by a lot of journalists, officials, and online posters is also a warning shot to every other victim not to dare to actually pursue a case against your rapist lest you suffer the same fate. It’s a means of protecting the status quo

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

Wow! Schmitt didn’t just get it wrong, his team was warned the texts were unvetted, but he used them anyway. Not only that, Chuck Grassley’s Judiciary staff left the texts out of its own hearing memo. Schmitt’s team went digging for them, then used them to accuse Jack Smith of perjury.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
