I made fun of Chappell Roan when she suddenly had this opinion AFTER the election, but in a vacuum she was broadly correct that she is not not someone you should look to for political knowledge. Being famous is a full time job and anyone who wants that life is not normal anyway

My hottake: encouraging celebrities to "use their platform" and be loudly political is a bad idea not because it's intrusive to polite society but because most of them are dumb as shit outside their chosen profession we don't need to encourage being loud and influentially wrong

“You can't always look at things from someone else's Point of View. For instance, from here that looks like a bucket of water," he said, pointing to a bucket of water; "but from an ant's point of view it's a vast ocean, from an elephant's just a cool drink, and to a fish, of course, it's home.“

“Dig in,” said the king, looking disapprovingly at Milo’s plate. “I can’t say that I think much of your choice.” “I didn’t know that I was going to have to eat my words,” objected Milo. “Of course, of course, everyone here does,” the king grunted. “You should have made a tastier speech.”

Of course, I’m not saying it’s wrong, just something that I would want to understand more about. An apprenticeship I presume would weed out those that aren’t willing to do the work in that format. And some people just need to mature more before doing college or trades or something else to succeed

Noting that if someone feels the need to cheat in college I’d be worried about them also ‘cheating’ in the trades. Otherwise 100%, college isn’t necessary, but being able to learn and put in the work is.

Considering the trouble identifying actual markers of biological sex I don’t think this is any kind of good middle ground. Yeah, it may not be as bad as it could have been, but it makes it easier for future discrimination without managing those middle ground folks that aren’t ‘exactly’ XX or XY

Data center fight is giving people first hand experience that the many can take on the money. Once people feel what solidarity can achieve, it becomes that much harder to divide & distract. There's a reason why unions members less susceptible to far right than same demographic folks not in unions.

no alt-text, so here it is because we need to pay fucking attention to this threat to murder trans people and everyone who supports trans people

section of an executive order dated May 2026: In addition to cartels and Islamist terror groups, our national CT activities will also prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist. We will use all the tools constitutionally available to us to map them at home, identify their membership, map their ties to international organizations like Antifa, and use law enforcement tools to cripple them operationally before they can maim or kill the innocent. We will do the same with the state sponsors of such groups and those governments undertaking lethal plots on U.S. soil or against Americans anywhere.

Our new U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy is a return to common sense and Peace through Strength. As I said after our first successful counterterrorism mission, just days after I was sworn back in office – if you hurt Americans, or are planning to hurt Americans, "We Will Find You and We Will Kill You."

Given our agency/free will, why would God that supposedly gives us that save us from our choices? Enough people are willing to *inflict* their will on others with little to no consequences that I can't see there being a reason to "save us" from the choices being made, even if *I* didn't make them.
