Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 19/12/2025It’s wild how often the “it was a different time” excuse doesn’t hold up. Like Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew is often defended this way but there were response plays *during Shakespeare’s lifetime* pointing out how insanely abusive and fucked up the play is in its treatment of women 0161
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 17/10/2025Prince Andrew is giving up all his titles in response to the Epstein fallout and not a single news org has run the headline “The Pedophile Formerly Known as Prince” Come on, media! You’re missing a golden opportunity! 040
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 04/10/2025I don’t believe for even one second that JD Vance has any honest, non-trolling advice in him 010
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 23/09/2025For real. Trump can’t even handle comedic ribbing without throwing a fit. He’s got no right telling anyone, let alone pregnant women, how to tough anything out 030
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 13/09/2025Jenkins has to be trolling at this point. The statement about how she isn’t familiar with Kirk’s views because the media misrepresented his views is so blatantly dishonest and logically contradictory that it can’t be written in good faith 0121
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 28/08/2025Women were publicly posting about their own assaults. That took astonishing vulnerability. It's on a completely different level from putting a flag emoji in your bio. CW suggesting they did it to impress friends reinforces the harmful myth that SA survivors only speak up for clout 000
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 28/08/2025Woof, Curious Witness's take on social movements is pretty ugly. Sure, peer approval plays a role but that doesn't mean #MeToo was mainly people "justify[ing] their own knee-jerk reaction to conform" 110
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 27/08/2025I hate the anti-democratic instincts of these pro-Newsom folks. "You must agree that Newsom is our only choice or else you want Trump to win!" Fuck that. We still have 3 goddamn years to pick our nominee. I'm not preemptively conceding that an empty suit and quisling on trans rights is our only hope 1212

Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 07/08/2025I’m shocked no one has used antihistorical yet considering the moment in time we live in 000
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 01/08/2025A thing I've noticed is that a good number of pro-Oxcom people just enjoy feeling superior for knowing what it is and don't actually care that much about parsing when it adds clarity to a sentence or not 170
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 23/07/2025I guess potentially but it would vary a lot depending on how much prompting actually happened. Like just prompting “give me X in the style of Studio Ghibli” isn’t describing every aspect and doesn’t feel very involved 000
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 22/07/2025What you're describing with AI generation sounds more like a patron commissioning a work than an artist creating said work IMO. Where would that type of interaction fit in your current thinking about this subject? 120
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 01/05/2025The NYT editorial staff just has to be trolling at this point. There’s no way they can honestly believe “Trump is duly elected and makes good points” is an effective resistance strategy 000
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Yeah, I don't want to dogpile Stancil but I'm baffled how one can read any history on the French Revolution and come away believing material conditions played no role in fomenting revolutionary spirit 010

Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Plus one Dem doing a good job doesn't mean the whole party gets a pass from public expectations. They *all* need to step up like Booker did 050

Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 03/02/2025I’m sure we’re all shocked to learn that dude’s a troll just trying to rile people up 010
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 03/02/2025So your grandkids gave up on teaching you how to Google, eh? 100
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Jesus, no wonder that person's co-worker asked if it was a phishing scam. "Reply 'resign' to this email to get money" sounds like the fakest thing I can imagine getting in my work inbox 0480

Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Amazingly, the words he’s said come so so close to recognizing that men aren’t pulling their weight in the emotional labor department but the way in which he said them indicates he is a million miles away from realizing that 0101
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 12/01/2025The worst is when it's a bad nickname AND the person saying it is insecure that you won't get it so they spell it weird to underscore the attempted joke. I encountered the nickname "fElon" in the wilds of Reddit and cringed so hard. 010

Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 19/12/2024It's wild how blatantly 50 Shades argues that sexual submission is true agency then shows the exact opposite at every turn. I'll never get over the final scene of the series where Christian says "you're the one who's really in charge" while Anastasia reacts like he's speaking in Klingon 160
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 04/12/2024It really amazes me anyone ever fell for this lie. Literally all you have to do to disprove it is try go to any doctor for any reason. The US healthcare system is many things but speedy and easy to access it is not 3693
Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Shout out to the South Korean parliament for having a backbone. Imagine if American politicians managed to learn from the novel idea of *checks notes* actually trying to stop illegitimate power grabs 010

Kevin James @kmj.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I saw an author thread about anti-intellectualism in reading. They revealed they'd paid a book review site for "honest reviews" but then the reviews were poor quality. Buddy, the problem isn't anti-intellectualism, it's that you used a sketchy service and got scammed 010
