I'm convinced that the Odd Squad writing team could, given the chance, sub in on any other show successfully for a full season, but that the opposite is definitely not true.

There's a war on for your mind.

The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds.

Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.

Ultimately Silicon Valley’s fatal flaw is that it has a glut of losers in a loser echo chamber and they have no idea why nobody else thinks their ideas are good and fun

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

me and the boys on the USS Abraham Lincoln eating boiled boot leather and sharing stories about the most Realistic Pussy we've ever seen

The reason that there are so many dad games is that some men had careers long enough that they both 1) gained the political capital to pitch and then execute a project with those themes 2) were able to sustain a career long enough that it was viable for them to parent while still work* in games.

one of the biggest technological revolutions in history and it has nothing to do with crypto, AI, metaverse or any of the things the media relentlessly hypes

People routinely allowed in NHS women’s wards without question:
- cis male doctors
- cis male nurses
- cis male porters
- cis male cleaners
- cis male catering staff
- cis male visitors
Etc, ad infinitum
List of people who should be banned from said wards, for some reason:
- Trans women patients

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

This is how I got the confirmed news and it couldn't have been more perfect

“when did you last have to find a new job” probably explains an awful lot about where you fall on the positive/negative sentiments about the economy

Maybe the real male loneliness epidemic was the friends we lost along the way

Girls with a time machine: Hello John Brown these are called "Kalashnikovs" Boys with a time machine: Hello John Brown these are called "Kalashnikovs"

The singular goal of all future US politics is to ensure Trumpism is defeated and cannot again take root here, and everything that serves that end is to be considered and prioritized. It's a holistic organizing principle, from a Green New Deal to Nuremberg 2 to expanding the court to Reconstruction.

We didn't deserve this day.

Turns out the thing I needed to heal me after sitting up awake for hours worrying about my children being vaporised was to have a new VersalVerse video with my coffee.

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

Just because he backed off shouldn’t stop efforts to remove him. He is dangerous and cannot be left in power.

will no congress rid us of this genocidal president

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

This is no way to live, man

i say this often and i believe it. it got kind of uncool, during the obama era i think, to be anti-war because war itself is barbaric, unjust, and outright evil. but it is, and you can oppose war on those grounds alone.

Never not thinking about the South Korean politicians who battled their way into a building to reclaim their government.

I don’t want to hear about brave and conflicted service members I want to hear about people sacrificing their careers to do the right thing
