Athletic's NA light beer is kind of like beer flavored LaCroix except I actually mean that as a compliment and not an insult? Is it beer? Not exactly. But it's beer-ish and you can crush a whole six for roughly the same amount of sugar as one coke.

So which is a funnier explanation: that somebody in the administration actually thinks trying to rebrand AI into SI is a smart strategy that will accomplish something? or that Trump personally doesn't like the term AI for ridiculous personal reasons, like maybe he didn't like the Spielberg movie?

Michael Tracey is sort of a perfect avatar for the mediocre American white male: we never got much farther on racial justice or sexual equality or human rights than "we should all pretend we agree equality is good" And the mediocre white guys hated it so much that now they're vocally pro-rape

someone would make a joke and suddenly you'd get bizarre ads related to that thing. But smart, intelligent, educated people? they'd tell you that was all in your head. and then people proved it was objectively true over and over and those types still do that bc it's their personality at this point

"common sense" turns out to be the strongest defender of the world's most extravagant freaks, because when you just *tell people what they think and what they're doing,* people say "no, that doesn't make sense, the world would be scary if that were true" and refuse to believe it.

You'd be like hey man if your computer is telling kids to kill themselves just unplug it. And their very first reflexive response will contain a wizard. "But what if it is a wizard who can persuade the person who tries to turn it off, with offers of priceless gems? What if no one can turn it off"

What's cool about Delta, United, and American is that everybody who flies enough to have an opinion has had only nightmare experiences on one, fairly tolerable experiences on another, and can't ever find flights that make sense on the third. And which is which for any given person is totally random.

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

"Well I don't have a garden or a farm so it's not surprising I don't have a favorite tomato" You live in a bubble. What you're describing is a self-curated bubble. If you haven't grown a plant that's been #1 on the charts for 5 years, you live in a bubble and you should probably be aware of that.

Obviously if the governor of Kentucky can say this without some massive swing voter transphobic backlash, that's pretty strong evidence that ~95% of Democrats who "triangulate" on the issue just actually dislike trans people and are looking for excuses to push them out of the tent.

I feel like every single winter that turns an even year into an odd year I see more of the contours of the breathtaking landscape of all the ways the approved and official opposition to american fascism steadfastly refuses to meet the moment, refuses to be anti-fascist, and only offers a short rest.

I've seen the trouble that my own younger sisters and a variety of other young straight women in my family and my wife's family have dating and I feel pretty confident saying that it's the shockingly poor quality of the young men these days that's the problem. Not the ladies' unwillingness to settle

It's amazing how durable the "liberal media" narrative has been in an age when the mainstream media has had a thumb on the scale for a far right sundowning narcissist for well over a decade. Really one of the right wing's most durable and impactful accomplishments

Donald Trump does not have a single notion what a "Chagos" is or what a "Mauritius" is. One of the mid-tier racists in the administration decided it was woke, and is basically able to tell the UK what they're allowed to do. if I was from the UK I'd probably be pretty pissed off about that? IDK

there's a pretty substantial population of middle aged white guys who actually subconsciously believe that white supremacy is how the world works, they feel like they've been compelled to pretend they don't believe it, and they thought it was time to stop pretending.
