I think a lot of people are willfully overlooking the fact that this is a conversation about boys โ€” children โ€” not adults. The manosphere targets boys as young as 10.

No 10 year old has the discernment to know the manosphere is BS. If itโ€™s all they ever see, it is what they will become.

Parents canโ€™t be more influential than relentless algorithmic propaganda & peer pressure, without draconian measures.

Raising children to be functional adults is the job of all society, not just atomized individuals.

And this article isnโ€™t about the Democrats.

This is fine for adults with fully developed brains. But the problem is this content targets kids as young as 10.

No 10 year old is equipped with the discernment to tell this is all bullshit on stilts. Even adults can barely resist social media algorithms. Kids? No way.

Dear Democratic Party:

Yes, holding child rapists and sex traffickers accountable matters. It is not a waste of time. Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Everyone who isnโ€™t in the Epstein files

Saving the squirrel is the most Superman thing this version of Superman did in the movie. If you think it was dumb and cringe for him to save that squirrel, you are telling on yourself. And I don't want to know you.

Hard disagree with Schreier here. I think a better time to have killed off a main cast member was reveal of Sentry. THAT would have really established some stakes, because the audience would have become more attached to the character.

Chomsky's always had weird blind spots because of his reverse American exceptionalism. But several of his books, esp. The Manufacture Of Consent, are insightful and powerful. They're considered required reading on the left for good reason.

Nevertheless, if he's in the files, I hope he burns.

If it turns out that Democratic leaders have held back on hitting Trump on Epstein because Clinton's in the files, they all need to go. Not just Clinton. Every single one who covered for him.

Noam Chomsky sought financial advice from Epstein & later flew on his plane to NY to have dinner with him, Woody Allen, and Allen's daughter-wife. All that AFTER Epstein had been convicted.

I love Chomsky, but that's already suss. If he ends up on the list, I hope he vanishes into the Back Rooms.

This isnโ€™t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. Itโ€™s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like heโ€™d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Reacher is basically the old school pulp barbarian who wanders the wilds and only comes into civilized areas for food or other necessities, befriends the local underdogs, wrecks the petty tyrants exploiting them, and then moves on.

I love it.

Accuracy, fairness, and neutrality are different things, though. If one side is actually lying, it is accurate and fair to say they are lying.

Itโ€™s neutral to pretend they arenโ€™t. But itโ€™s also dishonest.

Voting 3rd party will never ever be effective unless we overhaul our electoral system from the ground up. It is designed to suppress populism, and has worked effectively for centuries.

โ€œVote blue, no matter who!โ€ Thatโ€™s what the centrists always demanded of us leftists. And for the most part, we fell in line (with a lot of complaining).

Itโ€™s only fair if they return the favor.

I had to explain it to my nephew when he watched the movie. He was in awe at the idea.

He was also 12 at the time.

You could look up almost anyone's physical address and phone number in a book that was freely available and distributed to every household by the government.

The Democratic Party will, of course, get right on this and start fighting back with a counter narrative.
