I went to a one-woman show called Sweatshop Overlord set in 2020, and I kept going "Wait THAT also happened in 2020? No WONDER we've all memory-holed it. What the hell."

A lot of American atheists think they are attacking "religion" as such, when really they are attacking a particular form of Christianity and making it representative of all religion as such.

"America is not like a blanketβ€”one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size.

America is more like a quiltβ€”many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread." -Jesse Jackson, 1941–2026.

As for non-allies, the 'debate' the other day by gentiles about the identity status of Jews at least gives me the opportunity to post one of my all-time faves:

There was also no need to make that particular argument viciously personal, which I saw someone just did. Damn, folks, just be nice to your allies.

Biden was far from perfect but he implemented a highly effective free vaccine rollout. he was going to do even better with the vaccine work requirement until the Supreme Court stopped him, literally massacring loyal Republican voters by the tens of thousands as a result

the vaccine rollout was the most effective campaign for the public good our government had overseen in years, and no politician will ever be motivated to do such a thing again. absolutely zero political reward for it

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie β€œclassic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

Oh boy I see it's people saying ignorant shit about religion on here again. And that's allegedly in the service of something I agree with, which is that overtly religious language in politics makes me nervous. That doesn't imply religion itself is bad.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Tweet from the US Department of State: "The United States and Europe belong to a civilization that stretches over continents, crossed over oceans, and persisted for thousands of years: from Athens to Rome to America.  

Western Civilization must embrace its noble legacy if it is to reverse its decline."

Tweet from the US Department of State: "The United States and Europe belong to a civilization that stretches over continents, crossed over oceans, and persisted for thousands of years: from Athens to Rome to America. Western Civilization must embrace its noble legacy if it is to reverse its decline."

There is no coherent historical legacy that directly links Athens and Rome to Christian Europe and the United States while leaving out the Islamic world. This is such ahistorical nonsense.
