Your typical nativist is *just* smart enough to realize that the government is never going to let them fulfill their dream of being a slaveowner and the Gulf State model is their favorite among the alternatives they think they can actually get.

Grok make my favorite movie about my own boring ass life rather than transporting me and my imagination into another setting. Make Blade Runner but it’s me at the office. Do Barry Lyndon but it’s me and my friend Bob is also there. Lawrence of Arabia but he also needs to get his tires rotated.

fwiw if you want to make a strategic case for congressional democrats trying to impeach trump if they take majorities, i think the first step is impeaching hegseth, the bar is lower and the likelihood of success is probably much higher

I see all the jokes about that lady on the plane and I just want to say, I love a good joke. I’m also going to say I never forget that public masturbation — especially in an environment people cannot leave — is sexual violence, whoever does it.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

Ballpoint pen and colored pencil. 

At the top of the piece we see the delicately drawn branches and leaves of an apple tree. Just beneath the tree limbs, a bat is flying with one of the green apples in its mouth. This is when the morphing begins, reader. A sequence of 13 drawings show the bat morphing into a teeny witch (with completion of the morph around drawing #9). The morphing creates a spiral leading us to the center of the page where the little witch is running towards her basket filled with apples. It’s likely she’ll re-morph into a bat again and the morphing pattern will continue.
