My favorite genre of kids' movies is "A child scientist casually invents something/does something with some experimental tech that would permanently alter human civilization if it was made commercially available".

The "No Going Back" pac ads in NC are so funny because they are like "Roy Cooper wasn't perfect! He did politics, sometimes! Don't let him back into office!" and allow me to tell you that Roy Cooper is the only real person who deserves a Senate seat in this state that isn't already in office.

also there is nowhere in the convention that it suggests that you identify a genocide by counting the dead or percentage of dead. you can have genocides through theft of children in which no one dies, as just one counterexample.

In a scene near the end of The Martian they want to show the audience that "the world" is watching the final space mission. So they show crowds in China, New York, and London.

Jessica and I remain convinced that some reality shows like to toss in random people as "competitors" in whatever show is going on (Hell's Kitchen, Master Chef, Survivor, The Bachelor) to see if the audience has been paying attention.

Dolly Parton is dead. That's... Damn, dude. Dolly Parton was a heroine, a legend, an icon of kindness, class in the least annoying sense of the term, and of grace. Her music is what many hear in their minds when they first think of country music.

Critical thinking skills are skills. They are not natural facets of having a big, juicy, smart brain. Plenty of very intelligent people lack critical thinking skills and there are many folks who are not smart who understand how to think critically.

For months I've been stuck in a quiet war with medical debt people following my stay in a hospital in February. Through medical debt forgiveness programs and the like I was able to reduce a debt that was, in total, over 23K to an amount that, as of today, equals less than 2,000 dollars.

Trump is talking about a third term, again (he made jokes at the White House Correspondents Dinner). Take this shit seriously. If pressed on it he'd do the conservative back-pedal and say "Oh I'm just joking, is humor illegal now?!" but there's a real shot he's not joking.

I'm 1,000% pro-choice. I support abortions all the way to term. I'm so pro-choice it isn't inaccurate to call me pro-abortion. And all that said I do think that calling a fetus a parasite or saying it isn't a person are bad lines of argumentation.

Every time a missionary goes to Latin America I wonder who they think they will evangelize too. Do they think they will find Wiccans and Taoists in San Salvador? Or that they'll find Hellenists and Shintoists in Tegucigalpa?

TW: This whole thread talks about SA in the Odyssey. It is certainly something to see so many people, namely grown ass adults, fully digesting The Odyssey for the first time and realizing that Odysseus is the victim of sexual assault when he gets kidnapped by Calypso.

I'm impressed by the democrats who apparently, when Democrats weren't in power, laid the groundwork for the party to cheat in 2020 but also disappointed that, presumably the same people, somehow forgot to cheat in 2024.

So when discussing logical argumentation a topic of common discussion are fallacies; errors in logic that render an argument logically unsound. A particularly easy and common one that applies to a range of areas is the Style Over Substance fallacy.

More people need to understand that what they view as "Scientific laws" are not absolute. Among laypeople; non-experts, scientific laws are often treated as absolute, physical truths that we have discovered and that we are 100% certain about.

Darline should not finish out Lindsey's term. And the people who suggest she should are fucking morons. Yes, that includes lawmakers and elected officials. Being a politician, particularly being a senator, is a real job and the work senators do actually matters.

As an, often against my will, Graham observer this is the sharpest, most honest take on the "legacy" of his inconsistent, thoughtless, goofy ass politics. He really did just crave power, but he wasn't skilled enough a politician to attain it on his own merits.

Given that one senator just up and died, and another one's soul is waiting in Hell to be processed, maybe it's a sign of something really bad waiting to happen that so many senators are in their 70s and 80s. Like... that's probably foreshadowing something really fucking dark.

A position among SOME Christians and a few internet atheists that I loathe is the notion that Satan is weird for wanting to "torture sinners in Hell". This reveals a deeply frustrating, laughably nonsensical understanding of Hell and Satan.

I write and talk about abortion a fair deal. I think bodily autonomy is the single most fundamental freedom there is, and I think that it is constantly under attack by a group of dangerous radicals, so I aim to encourage people to aggressively champion it.

Pro-choice advocates need to stop passively accepting that abortion is an evil in and of itself. Giving misogynists that starting advantage is both completely baseless and also gives them ab edge.

Another round of praise for the pope means we will once again remind that the Catholic Church hierarchy — including the papacy — is a major part of the escalating genocide we face. The church's ban on all trans healthcare throughout its massive (and growing) networks is devastating to trans lives.

One of the goofiest parts of this is that JD Vance is WILDLY more charismatic than Trump. It is not even a contest between the two. Trump is "entertaining" (he's not) but he's not charismatic. JD Vance is ALSO not charismatic but he's loads more charismatic than Trump.

As a trans, disabled person, seeing this bathroom sign filled me with unbelievable power. This bathroom is conceiving of genders the cis people cannot begin to fathom.
An all gender restroom sign. Genders are divided by brackets. A woman and a man fill two of the three brackets. The third bracket is occupied, equally, by someone who is designed to be somewhere between a man and a woman, and a smaller figure in a wheelchair.
