As a PSL 2 with 0.47 jawline recession, it is Tate's genetic destiny to be mogged by Salafi Gigachads.

He must submit to the inviolable laws of nature.

He must begin taking estrogen and become the bride of a Saudi Border patrol officer.

Ah yes, a post-literate society where people get their news through highly emotive and addictive pabulum, something that is famously bad for the right.

Where things stand with the Department of War A statement from Dario Amodei

Psycho masculinity

From Donald Trump to Clavicular, American Psycho's Patrick Bateman is the blueprint for 21st century masculinity

Labour is losing voters to progressive parties disproportionately. And they are not mainly "lanyard" professional or working classes, the oppositional forces of Blue Labour and right discourse. It's squeezed millennials in service careers. Which our politics ignores. • Demographically, most progressive defectors are frustrated lower middle class Millennials - not affluent urbanites or a PMC 'lanyard class. Though they have liberal social values, many are frustrated graduates; Millennials with a mortgage or rent they are struggling to afford - primary school teachers, IT support or clerical workers. In short, the face of the modern social democratic voter.

Speaking as a lower middle class graduate with an office job and a mortgage, born in the late seventies, I would say: this is half my social circle and most of the people I worked with for years. How in the name of Christ did nobody in politics or media see this coming?

BLUESKY EMPLOYEE: I hope our ugly users are hit by a high speed train.

BLUESKY POSTER: Sir, I run a food bank for coma orphans! Why would you say such a thing?

I'm going to make a cheese toastie that's so fucked up with this.

I've got a nephew who's dating a really gorgeous girl whose dad's a multi-millionaire with a classic car collection, and that's 99% because my sister would have whooped his ass if he said any of this shit.

Going to start 'was Abed in Community good for the neuro-spicy community?' discourse just to feel something.

An autistic character who actually acts like an autistic person and not a robot. Do you know how long we've been waiting for this?

Chotiner: So during your apology to John Sacrimoni over a joke you made about his wife's weight-
Ralph Cifaretto: Allegedly made
Chotiner: So you're denying you said it
Ralph: Absolutely
Chotiner: But you did apologize to Mr. Sacramoni?
Ralph: Well-

This rules, so hard. Top tier example of how Sandifer is quietly doing some of the most genuinely thrilling intellectual-cultural history work around, in ways that connect so many fascinating disparate threads that cut across disciplines, genres, and many other boundaries besides.

You know who didn't upend their life Matt? Hannah Spencer because she actually lives in Manchester.

Yeah, that was a 'should have been obvious because I deal with it literally every day of my life but I needed somebody to say it' diamond bullet to the forehead.

I'm really trying to find a Gundam show/movie that works on its own merits and not 'you have to watch the Gundam MELF flash animation to understand why Bonk Guardia pilots the Type-Z Peepeepoopoo'. Gundam Thunderbolt got closest with 'Johnny Get Your Gun with Giant Robots'.
