This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese.

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.
That's the problem. They do have the power. Women are, for all of history & all over the world, second class citizens & property who are subject to the whims of men, simply because we are women. They murder us, beat us, silence us, rape us, force us to birth babies.
Men are the problem. Period.
“Can we pray for the moms as well? Or just the babies?”
Allie Phillips bravely told a pro-FAILED abortion death penalty bill group her story of fleeing Tennessee for a life-saving abortion

Here for instance is one of the founders of Grammarly admitting that tech will never be responsible enough to account for the harms it causes because the only thing that matters are profits; and also urging ai use with not a single ounce of irony

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

Oh no, millions of people are purchasing a product with their own money!

When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it".
Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense.

Rich people aren’t really experienced at navigating the real world.
When you can just buy stuff you need, when you need it, life tends to run a lot more smoothly - or so I’m told. I have no personal experience with that lifestyle.
He also downplays and demeans the fatal ones.
A stopped clock and all that…
I thought it was another women’s health summit.
Hegseth gutted offices that would have probed Iran school strikes
A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
Can’t he just buy himself a pair that fits and then tell him they are the ones he sent???
He has Little(to be)proud of.
Just the fruit basket stands, not the fruit baskets themselves, or even just the fruit?

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

March: The month that never ends - since 2020.
Omg yes 100%. The worst is that many fantasies are just being seen, recognized, heard, and desired. That is a wildly low bar to get outclassed by.
Is that like how, in movies, characters always walk into a bar and say, “gimme a beer” and are then handed one??? Like…what kind, what size, in a glass, bottle or can? Keep it vague so they don’t have to licence any brand name.
Going to a restaurant and screaming “FOOD!” at the waiter so as not to elevate my customised desires into primacy.
Cool, cool. A major 3 hour exam at 9am that I’m not sure I’m going to pass and I don’t sleep at all. My eyes hurt and my bones are tired. 😪
I don’t drink coffee (because it all tastes like bitter dirt water to me, plus caffeine hurts my heart) but I do quite enjoy a hot chocolate with oat milk & a shot of vanilla. Plus coffee places always think hot chocolate is for kids, so I don’t have to wait long for it to cool enough to drink.
Well, that & they’re afraid of not measuring up. But if they actually did read these things, they’d finally learn what they’re not doing, that they should; & what they are doing, that they shouldn’t. Andrew Tate & his ilk couldn’t teach anything useful like this if they wanted to (and they don’t).
Urgh, god that guy just needs to fuck off.
Why? I don’t understand the point of this. Is he trying to remake the world in his image? I don’t want his ill-fitting outfits and his ridiculous hair/fake tan look.
Also, does this include women? He does have that rule about women always wearing heels (so our butts stick out).
