That's where I've been for a while. We can't even reach questions about the death penalty itself because we fail essential predicates such as "fair and consistent criminal justice system" and "reliable death penalty verdicts that leave no reasonable doubt" and, as shown tonight, "humane execution."

I don't believe it's impossible that a human being might do something which merits death as a penalty. I also don't believe the bloodthirsty, unserious, immoral incompetents running this country are fit to handle the judgment or the application of that penalty.

Oh we're doing Romance novel discourse again?

Fred from Scooby Doo unmasks a ghost in two panels. In the first, the masked ghost is, "HERE'S WHY THIS GENRE I HATE IS BAD." In the second, the ghost is unmasked to turn out to be, "I HAVEN'T READ OF IT BUT"

And once again, real harms imposed on real people must be set aside until after real damage is done in order to privilege the unproven right of Trump to impose those harms

I feel like a major lesson of Trump is that people like him will act in bad faith or violate the law no matter what, so it's literally not possible to Trump-proof a policy except through robust removal and punishment provisions for people like Trump.

The very first line is a lie, and we all know it. *None* of this was ever designed to help us, which is why it hurts us and we hate it. It really is that simple, but the media simply cannot bring themselves to say it.

Touchscreens and self-checkout machines were designed to help customers. But restaurants and retailers are ditching them to humanize stores and attract workers.

At some point you figure out that "being apolitical" in the public arts always means getting on your knees for the rich, the bigots, the fascists and authoritarians. It never means anything else, and those people are somehow never obligated to set their own politics aside on behalf of anyone else.

There are only two groups who even MIGHT base their vote on trans participation in sports: 1) insane bigots 2) trans voters and staunch allies You can’t win group 1 over by being cruel to trans people. You cannot. They’re hard core bigots! But you can alienate group 2!
