Great numbers in California for Prop 50. Dems are turning OUT and people are fired up. Let’s go LA & OC, YES on 50.

Really goes to show that people who made "anti-woke" their entire personality are super weird!

So much of modern right wing behavior feels like pure, unmotivated contrarianism. Just “do the opposite of what people who annoy me say”.

"Trump’s 21st century eugenics — from ending diversity programs in colleges or the workplace to the obsession with finding the pill or shot or whatever that has made some kids 'not normal' — is the unifying force of his dictatorship."

Alright, team Bluesky: US foodbanks are about to have staggering demand when SNAP ends Nov 1st. We need to help them prepare.

I'll match donations: DM or reply with a receipt showing your own donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll donate to match, up to a total of $500. 💪🥗🍲🥚🥧🥪🥣🥛

In college I used to keep getting told I’d work a lot when I was 40. I absolutely hated that.

Anyway my TV bookings and my first national tour credit both arrived in my 40s, right on fucking cue.

Oh no this has a name?! 😰

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

The thing these guys don’t realize is that most people, including men, already do talk in private pretty much the same way they do in private, and they’re the exceptions.

Destruction of the White House East Wing began today. Here it is in better times with better residents.

Why do you think men are getting more conservative? Men's Input Only Join It's well known that across the West men are becoming politically more conservative I, while women more progressive. What are your thoughts as to why this is? My view: • Traditional male jobs are declining due to V outsourcing and automation or redundancy • The growing cost of living leads to men being a sole provider incredibly difficult • Political polarisation is rife on social media with men targeted by conservative media and women progressive media. • Women are often still aspirationally hypergamous so it's harder for a woman to find a compatible spouse which leads to fewer relationships and men withdrawing from the dating market Edit - Wow this thread has blown up a lot and I can't keep up lol. I'm noticing this trend towards conservatism to be universal, not just restricted to the US. We see the same in Australia and in Europe as well.

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead Protein supplements are wildly popular, but CR's tests of 23 products found that more than two-thirds of them contain more lead in a single serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day By Paris Martineau Investigative Reporter

I’m not trading the replies because I follow rules but I have a hunch

I don't know, I'm in two different group chats that have been going on for several years and somehow we have all managed not to say racist things or use slurs or stan Hitler even once.

All I’m saying is that I believe the good and enriching feeling of caring for others, and with the practical belief that a world of mutual care and guardrails also means more individual security, are not neutral factors in the grand scheme.

This runs the risk of the “slippery slope” fallacy that the only true altruism is action that makes the undertaker actively miserable as they perform it.

For all they grouse about being allowed to post the Ten Commandments in schools, I wonder how they would feel about schools posting the Bill of Rights?

We’re like two seconds from her violating the Third Amendment…

*technically* the requirement is that they be created “for a reason other than insurance”, but well…there are a lot of reasons a person can come up with on paper…

Some fraternal orders have them as well!

"sir a second Nazi groupchat infodump has hit Politico"

Over the years I've grown increasingly hostile to the constricted perspectives lone gunmen force on our lines of vision. Not through the necessary reporting of journalistic fact, but the hostage-like role of the media consumer encountering the work product of attention-hijackers across all platforms. Video of a famous person getting shot says — what, exactly? Have I become wiser by encountering snuff footage and the shooter's shitty little ironic manifestos? When did nihilists start doing so much growth marketing?

Looking for some grounding after the Charlie Kirk assassination, I picked up DeLillo’s “Underworld,” but didn’t find quite the book I had set out to look for, but something better.

We’re acting like people are demanding we invite these folks into our lives as intimate relationships. They’re changing buses and all we’re being asked to do is not berate them into leaving our bus.

What is altruism if not the eventual realization that only what is good for all can be good for oneself?

In your example there’s a clear crime with a clear penalty. Obviously the person would need to confess and serve a prison sentence. No matter how much it feels like it, a past Trump voter doesn’t have a crime to repay, but rather a social contract infraction.

Funny how the Hill was comfortable calling her a liar for warning us last year, but now the Washington Post won’t even call him a liar for saying he wouldn’t do this weeks ago.

The WH demolition is such a slap in the face that I feel like Washingtonians are going to have to drag their giant copy of the Constitution and zillions of American flags back to the streets NEXT weekend. Can’t you give people a week off

Pretty certain he’s doing this without official clearance, too, which I imagine would be pretty difficult (if not impossible) to obtain

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump
