A substantial portion of this nation remains emotionally tethered to one of the single most reprehensible human beings on the planet, despite a decade of prolific lawlessness and unrepentant moral filth... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/can-americ...

Also, love this movie so much we shot an homage to it when our friend took us around all the movie locations in San Francisco. Don’t judge me! It’s actually not terrible. :) youtu.be/VlQql0Oyip8?...

Sorry for the slow response. In Edinburgh, definitely recommend Mary Kings Close. The Witchery is also a very popular location. Edinburgh Castle of course. If you drive, I highly recommend hiring a car and visiting Glen Coe. I’ll see what else I can think of.

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke says “good system.” In response to the following proposal: 

“Interesting... what about weighted voting proportional to the level of income tax you pay? (no income tax paid - O vote, $1-100k - 1 vote, $100-200k 2 votes and so on... cap it at 5 votes for $500k+. For those that constantly complain about the wealthy not paying tax/fair share they'd have nothing to worry about right? Why not reward representation of taxation and build a democracy around those that foot the bill?”

I must qualify this statement in the interests of accuracy:

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one 'race group'. Israel is now the most racist state the world has known since Nazi Germany.

As the son of a Holocaust survivor who lost dozens of her family, I say this cautiously and with extreme pain.

But it is now a fact!

This is Apartheid. It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide. To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

Everything I don’t like is “bad writing” says more about the person saying it than the art they’re not even bothering to critique. It’s lazy, ignorant, and pandering to the lowest common denominator.

It’s hard to overstate how immoral and wrong it is that Trump is likely sending American soldiers into harm’s way for no good reason. Every American who voted for this man to lead America have aided and abetted this tragic mistake.

A reminder that fascism thrives when people choose to sacrifice the weaker, and that people that might otherwise be sensible and kind but do step over that line will blame anyone but themselves to soothe their conscience when fascism does win.

That's not a question.
4 frame comic. a street journalist, off frame, asks someone with long hair exiting the subway : miss! do you think
it's fair for biological
female athletes to be
forced to compete with
transgenders?
she replies :
that's not a question. every
year, new studies show that
trans women have no inherent
athletic advantages over cis
women. science and research
have settled this already.*
*a meta-study published this month in the
british journal of sports medicine reviewed 52
studies with 5252 trans athlete participants.
https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/60/3/198
what's unfair is how female
athletes, cis or trans, must
endure constant, unrestrained
sexual misconduct throughout
their formative years to simply
get a shot at competing
at an elite level.
just last month, a report*
showed that 88% of surveyed
u.k. elite athletes of the int'l
women's sports collective
reported sexual misconduct,
and 40% reported sexual abuse.
93% of the time, perpetrators
were cis men.
