People have a hard time understanding that bodies don't all work the same way. smh

no face has ever been more slappable

here's what I don't understand. how does anyone ever see his face, with that unbearable stupid "I'm so clever" smirk, and not instantly deck him

literally the sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy in 1993

I love my Lodge dutch oven very much

for sure! we got this back during the Great TP Shortage of 2020.

I should really upgrade our bidet, we have one of the inexpensive super-low-profile, unpowered, cold-only ones that mounts under an existing seat.

Green Mountain Grandpa was never going to save anyone and a lot of people are very late to realizing they were wrong to put him on a pedestal

not to be all "I told you so" but

Sigh.

Bernie has gone full on "super intelligent AI could become smarter than human beings" and "pose an "existential threat to the entire human race."

Literal quote from him. Dude was supposed to be the guy against Silicon Vally CEOs not the one who parrots their propaganda.

as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them

MUPPET WICKER MAN (Brian Henson, 1993)

Police Sergeant Kermie travels to the isolated town of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. He finds the locals to be a surly and suspicious lot, rustic practitioners of crude bawdiness and Celtic neo-paganism. Starring Vincent Price as Lord Summerisle.

podcast ads are always awful but it's very funny to me that this one promises "AI [sic] woven throughout your investing experience" and then bills itself as "investing for people who take it seriously"

man I meant to get my blog moved off wordpress dot com last year but here we are again, I'll have to go ahead and make my annual [X] Years Of This post on the anniversary of the Last Normal Day and then take another look at moving to a different platform.

Real talk, I can't be a firefighter anymore because of complications from a bad round of Covid-19. It reduced my lung capacity and essentially gave me exercise induced asthma. We are just now starting to come to terms with the long term consequences of this illness. "It's just a cold" nah dawg

Yes I’d like to see them be held to some accountability as in having their business destroyed by lawsuits.

apparently raising a middle finger counts as “signaling some ambivalence”

Here's my bottom line:

Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.

Also, as Jack and others have reported many times, the Right often ignores or rejects the faith of those they oppose, especially when those folks are Christians.

This is fucking terrible but I can't stop snickering about how the headline makes it sound like a manager of the Transgender Chili's was fired and hell yes would eat at the Transgender Chili's

I can't imagine being this boring and what that must be like. Horrifying

Anti-trans people are already fucked up by gender essentialism/fascism and they want it to be your problem too

Democrats should demand a clawback of ICE's remaining OBBB money before agreeing to supplemental Pentagon funding.

Transgender Chili’s manager fired over ‘personal values and lifestyle,’ lawsuit says Exclusive: Hudson Webber claims a store manager said another employee at a different location was being terminated ‘for the same reasons’

If there’s one fucking thing I wish would get through the heads of Marxists it is that you can’t just throw the 1844 Manuscripts or Das Kapital at someone and expect them to understand it: you have to teach them how to read it and apply it.

fondly remembering the SURJ chapter a decade ago that was doing some studying on whiteness and determined that the best thing they could do to support the struggle against racism was dissolve

The only hardline is whether someone is *actually* hurting someone else irl. Feeling grossed out/offended is not the same as getting hurt and assuming someone is dangerous from the fiction they consume is cop shit. Thought Crimes are a fascist concept, censorship is a tool of oppression.

I wonder if this is sort of a suppressed-gender-panic thing, like "oh shit I'm talking to a they/them, they'll be super pissed if I misgender them, I gotta really focus on using saying 'they/them'! wait what about for other people, better stick to 'they' just to be safe"

running out of buses to throw his staff under, I see, now that he’s finally realized people don’t love him for this
