I'm kinda fully over that "the British conquered the world for spices and don't use any of them" joke because for one, you cannot recycle material for 5 straight generations and get a laugh worth a damn but also because in order to make it you have to agree with Tommy Robinson about who is British

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

If you believe in jailing homeless people, you already believe homeless people should have housing paid for by the public. You've just decided that the housing provided should be super- expensive, should suck, and their lives should be miserable while they receive that housing and food. Which says a lot less about homeless people than that you are a dick.

Anybody else ever think about how gift cards are private corporate currency and that buying them is functionally equivalent to giving an interest-free loan to a corporation and we mostly pay full face value for them!

even if you don't care about trans rights (and fine, I can't make you care), the resistance to limitations on executive power should be EXTREMELY worrying in this moment if you're looking for a presidential candidate

Centrists’ constant delusion that their votes being pandered to is a sign that their democracy is fine is what makes them the most easily controlled subjects of fascism.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

People get confused about the trans sports thing because at a glance it seems like a small issue that impacts a very small number of people and thus makes sense as a "reasonable" concession. But it isn't, because conceding that is accepting that a kid's trans identity is on some level fraudulent

I take comfort in the fact that the gloves will undoubtedly be poorly produced and the officers will receive no training, so they'll probably mostly hurt themselves and each other with the gloves before abandoning them.

It's very telling how every word a Black or Muslim or Brown candidate like Darializa Avila Chevalier or Abdul El-Sayed or Zohran Mamdani or Cori Bush says is scrutinized, turned around, overanalyzed, and endlessly debated by the same people who see Elon Musk *literally sieg heil* and shrug.

Anyway this will probably get me canceled but Graham Platner got more grace for a sea of red flags than many of the Black or Brown candidates this cycle who have been nitpicked over minutiae and I cannot unsee it. I'm sorry, but it's true.

Ember, the darkest tort
A picture of a cat sitting on a wood floor. The cat is sitting in rainbow light from a nearby window. The cat is very shiny and her fur is reflecting the rainbow light in a way that makes her seem iridescent. She is a tortoiseshell cat but it is very hard to tell in this photo.

the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold

A vintage world map. The US has been obscured by a roiling black cloud from which squirm many questing tentacles. A large area around the US has been discolored.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

Car culture defenders will really be like "urbanists don't understand that not everyone can cycle!" & also "why can't pedestrians just use designated crossings" as if that doesn't add time & effort which adds up at every crossing & may be the difference between having the energy for a journey & not.
