I'm so fucking tired of hearing about this show. Somehow I still have people telling me about it, like it's this brilliant social commentary.

Oh man, retail in December... it should be a requirement for people to do it at least once in their lives so they are nice to the people stuck in the job.

Oh yeah, same. My poor friend's 4 year old has become obsessed with Christmas, so the Christmas music starts in September. Same 12 song over and over.

Wow, that's terrible. Haha I am so sorry.

I don't really hate much popular music. I think some is it is good, and the stuff I think is trash doesn't grate on me like it did when I was in the target demo. That said, Imagine Dragons was rancid shit, and damn do I never need to hear that song Thunder again. Fuckin hell.

I would very much like to be proven wrong, but whatever the alternative is, it isn't simply voting or electoralism in general. There needs to be a lot more public involvement in politics than that right now.

I'm bad at violence and I don't like it. But I don't see a way back from this that doesn't involve open revolt. I'm not saying that lightly, and I recognize what that would entail. But this shit needs to be ripped out of the ground root and branch before it ends human civilization.

The Blue-State Hospitals Carrying Out Trump’s Anti-Trans Agenda In states where gender-affirming care remains legal, some hospitals have nonetheless stopped providing it. What gives?

Contrary to Trump’s grotesque, self-congratulatory press releases, he has not ended gender-affirming care for young people; rather, as the health care workers I spoke to this week made clear, hospital management, boards, and their legal advisers have ended it for him. My new story:

all the subtle demonisms of life and thought

On its own, the notion that opposing genocide is somehow expecting ideological purity is horrifying, and you can only accept it if you don't think the victims are fully human. What a fucked up country.

Democrats have been intentionally primed to accept whatever monstrosities their politicians will force through if they ever get near power again.

Blathering about "purity tests" isn't done to advance a discussion, it's done to shut one down, and misplace blame for the failings of liberals. Stop talking about genocide, it makes me uncomfortable. Stop talking about trans rights, we need to attract fascists to the party.

People who lie their way out of despair are driven to push their views on others because deep down they know they are on unstable ground and need someone to play pretend with them. This is the basis for all fundementalism.

During the 2023-23 school year, the DOE estimated there were nearly 14 million homeless children. There are 14 .9 million vacant homes in the US.

“Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good”

This implies that pandering to bigots is “good”

“These purity tests are holding us back”

What if someone DOESN’T say “Hey you fear-based, closed-minded babies have a point about that group of people, maybe they should have their rights restricted,” is that a crazy pipe dream

People who hate “purity tests” refuse to forgive somebody who voted for Nader when they were 18

I honestly can’t believe there are still any AI skeptics out there. This tech is obviously revolutionary

Yeah that's my friend Bill, he's allowed to do that.

God I miss being able to walk to a grocery store in five minutes. Congrats.

Why are we mad at seed oils again? I forget.

Chorgus is Normal. Not once, has Chorgus been accused of abnormality.

Stop debating this website's growth potential. I don't care. I'm a digital hermit crab. If it dies, I'll find another shell as I've done a dozen times before.

I get that most of the people doing it are in the right, but I feel no motivation to defend some tech company. Most of the people who criticize the Democrats are GOP too. I wouldn't lift a finger to defend them either.

It's weird watching leftists get mad at people shitting on this app.

I think the philosophical difficulty determining “when life begins” re: abortion has to do with the fact that life actually began only once about 4 billion years ago and hasn’t stopped since. There is no hard line separating parent from child, which, as a child of parents, I resent, but there it is.
