Also on Reddit today, someone thinking that I am apologetic for being a white dude. Nah, friends. I think we all know that being a white dude in the US is pretty great. My sin, if you will, is thinking everyone else should have the same latitude in life that I get just by being a white dude.

My personal favorite series. I vaguely aspire to own a pair in every color.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

I'm coming to a realization, reading Facebook posts.

A large percentage of GOP voters see government spending as coming out of their pocket & then just disappearing from the economy as it is spent. Hence, ALL cuts are eliminating waste.

My online life got so much better when I realized that

a) I didn't have to attend every argument that I was invited to

b) blocking was self-care, not weakness

"Popular," aka hey roomie let me teach you to mask, wtf

The doom will always be there, waiting to be scrolled. What else do you have within reach that could improve your sensory experience, and help reconnect you with your surroundings?

No matter how smart you are - no one is immune to propaganda.

First of all, Donald Trump is not president right now. He's a private citizen. He does not have access to presidential powers. He does not have the ability to do any of that. Please understand that TikTok's decision to name Trump in the notification is a choice. They are signaling that they have agreed to privately collaborate with Donald Trump and the Trump administration. For all of those concerns that people were saying that TikTok is gonna be used as a propaganda tool by the Chinese, understand they're using it as a propaganda tool for the right. Now, I want you all to put all the pieces together because what this effectively means is that every mass social media platform in the United States has been taken over by the right wing, with the exception of Blue Sky (but Blue Sky is still very small, relatively).

This really pisses me off…

Please spread the word.

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.

Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.

Roberts makes a whole big deal about how internet porn has CHANGED and gotten more EXTREME and Your Honor as someone who has been on the internet for many many years I assure you that the only thing that's changed is better streaming quality

"The point to this all is that people are just a big fucking mess... I am no different than anyone else, and you should not be under the illusion that I am anything other than a shambling collection of flaws embedded inside a human form. We’re all this way! You too!" 🎯
