Tradwifes are out, tradewives are in. go run that merchant vessel, outfox those Portugese and discover the spices of the indies

The dentist in the AlmostFreeTeeth dot Com ads has the purest Great Lakes accent I've ever heard. He says "competitive pricing" and "implants." It's great, put it on the next Voyager Golden Record we do.

Big announcement from us: we are fully funded, we met our goal. I cannot thank everyone who supported us enough. We are putting the pedal on the gas to put out work worthy of your trust.

Man, rice and black beans is the perfect food. Little green hot sauce on there, dairy of your choice, that's a warrior's feast, I tell you what.

Not sure why but one of the finest Twitter bits popped into my head tonight while walking the dog and I've been chuckling about it again for the last 10 minutes

Man, you see some wild theology takes on here.

Doomscrolling is the weaponization of literacy

My daughter: in the TLC song “No Scrubs,” what do they mean by “scrub”?

Me: Honey this is the one and only pop song in history that opens up with a dictionary and thesaurus entry.

If the existence of trans children is such a threat to your identity why is it on us to justify our existence instead of any writer doing any amount of self reflection to why that is the case?

Guarantee Clause, we're getting you down from the attic for Reconstruction III.

damn, you mean the person presenting superficially reasonable concerns was actually hiding a deep disgust and loathing about the entire category of people? that's crazy, how unlikely is that, glad it doesn't happen much tho

This is worth noticing: the latest airbrushed anti-trans apologia in The Atlantic was written by someone who is a full-bore trans eliminationist. This guy isn't just asking questions or worried about the kids, he thinks trans people don't and shouldn't exist and that gender-affirming care is abuse

If FIFA had a spine—which we know it does not—it would move all World Cup games to Canada and Mexico.

We don’t deserve to host them, and foreign players and fans do not deserve to be subjected to threats from Miller’s CBP and ICE thugs.

Pitch-perfect example of how "Democrats" are expected to answer for every rando a Republican see online who says anything more inflammatory than "trump is my daddy" even if the rando is a not democrat or nominally liberal

interesting that it's taken as a given that the US should have a hand in shaping who the iranian people choose as their leader

I think the thing that makes me so mad is the author of that essay is a NYPost writer who consistently rags on gender affirming care for trans people, while I know for a fact The Atlantic would never run an essay entitled “The Years I Lost Not Transitioning Sooner.”

if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately

"Gender non-conforming children continue to get the strong impression… that they’d be better off being something other than what they are.”

Like: yes! True. It's impressed upon them over & over again they should better conform to their gender assigned at birth. With social consequences!

Yeah, this is going to be good. Rise and Fall was great, I'm unreasonably excited for this.

Comic strip "Uncle Charlie." Uncle Charlie waters some vines growing up a pole. Eventually, the vines climb up the pole and extend to another, becoming a clothesline for Charlie to dry his clothes on.

Moonlighting as a very inefficient recruiting sergeant?

Mom, come pick me up, the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.

I'm not a big sharing guy on here, but I have an elderly relative who has taken a couple falls lately. We love her very much and are worried about her. We want her to be safe and have autonomy and feel respected. It's hard. You have to.

No one has ever felt a single warm feeling towards this man.
