Never underestimate the universal male need to name his penis.

D&D as a perfect microcosm of toxic male identity. Good article, note that this has a gift link.

This is also an excellent article about the economy writ large. I identify , but as an artist who used to make a decent income but now give away my creations because there is no market for them anymore. Corporate capitalism ate up all the smaller venues, while destroying our purchasing power.

Not All Men is a straw man argument designed to divert attention. Not helping anything.

I wish people would just recognize that white men are in an identity crisis and will take society down with them to regain all the power.

I will pay for an hour with a sledgehammer on site.

It’s uneven kerning/spacing. Done on an app that doesn’t have those controls, maybe? Odd for a journal on typography. Nice x height on the font, and I like the t.

When vulnerable populations see wp will show up, so will they.

No argument here.

Over 3.5% of registered voters.

No, I am saying there WERE lots of white men.

By coming out in mass numbers ( more than 3.5%!) normies validate the movement. As long as protests are mostly minorities and women, the patriarchy won’t pay attention. We needed white men, especially, to show up and be counted.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Reminds me that Repubs can’t win unless they gerrymander the districts, own all the media, put propaganda artists in every position, and voluntarily disband Congress, not to mention buying up the voting machines and *um* buying off the fact checkers. Sad.

“I firmly believe the (economic) AI apocalypse is coming. These companies are not profitable. They can't be profitable. They keep the lights on by soaking up hundreds of billions of dollars in other people's money and then lighting it on fire.”

What I didn’t hear mentioned as a primary reason to hold the line was that any “agreement” the Dems make will be reneged on by the GOP. You can’t assume good faith from this administration or its congressional lackeys.

“The only moments in our lives that count for anything are those when we do the right thing — when we don’t have to look down at the table but can raise our heads and look each other in the eye. Nothing else matters.” —Russian dissident Alexei Navalny

Boycotts Work

Sinclair owns WLOS in Asheville.

Sinclaiir is the Hobby Lobby, the ChicFila, and the Cracker Barrel of television networks. Boycott their advertisers.

Tylenol does not cause autism. Autism does not have symptoms. Apparently some pharmaceutical company is coming out with a drug for autism “symptoms.” Dpn’t be fooled. This is insider trading, and he stands to profit from Kenvue AND this new bullsht drug.

I don’t remember Empire Star, maybe I missed that one. Pretty sure I’ve read all the others, but forget the stories. I’m feeling a rereading challenge coming on.

Agree!!

1. What is that creepy bouncing he’s doing to her? She is about to be his next groping victim. 2. She was grifting off the GOP long before dweeb showed up. And 3. Nothing i have seen so far convinces me that Kirk wasn’t conveniently expendable when they needed a martyr and she was paid off.

Surely there’s a Samuel Delaney book club out there somewhere?

I got rid of my paperback library a few years back, dammit. I am slowly buying back my favorites used.
