The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

The spread of disease has never once weakened the warfighting capacity of an otherwise-superior army. Trust me, I studied history.

They fear Gender Studies because it unapologetically exposes the real reasons why all of these middle-aged men would indignantly wear clown shoes solely for the approval of other men.
I mean I don’t have epilepsy, so I can’t judge whether it was a good treatment of it on the show, but the conversation at least felt thematically appropriate and in character. Robbie’s flaw has always been his declaring other people unfit for the job without recognizing his own serious unfitness
Her argument with Robbie read, to me, the same way Robbie’s arguments against everyone telling him to take a break do. She knows he’s right, but the two of them both suffer from the same unhealthy reliance on the hospital and so she resists him. That she revealed it at all shows that she knows that
Trans people are the first domino because our existence hinges on bodily autonomy.
Groups that want to walk back everything from abortion access to women's suffrage to the social, legal, and political equality of women to men are all openly transphobic and it's not an accident it's a longform plan.

The time between fossil fuel crises is just going to keep shrinking, until there's no discrete single "crisis" - just one unbroken prolonged state of global suffering due to fossil fuel unreliability
The best time to ditch fossil fuels was 30 years ago. The second best time is now

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.
just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

B-52 directly above the photographer with 12 visible cruise missiles on the pylons.
This is going around from a planespotter in UK ~40 minutes ago. Just to pre-bunk some things:
- The cruise missiles on the pylons are JASSMs (conventional-only), not AGM-86 (nuclear-only).
- AGM-86 is a good deal longer (thus not two rows in line), and different livery
<more>
Again this supports the theory that the mission is to conventionally bombard civilian targets. Be skeptical of anyone alarming over nuclear stuff (yours truly included; it's hard to provide what is inherently alarming info without giving undue credence)
