I suppose just being a man is enough. *Daria voice* /s

“Randomly self-described masculinity expert.” My new favorite description of this guy:
Thank YOU.
BREAKING: We're joining over 120 organizations issuing a travel advisory to warn anyone visiting the U.S. for the 2026 FIFA World Cup of possible civil and human rights violations.
FIFA must pressure the Trump administration to protect the people traveling to and working at the games.
TFW you definitely support women's sports
Spring time’s Best Couple Weeks. Let’s go!
C: boycott and picket the venue and their collaborator colleagues
I remember finding a copy as a student in the 90s and loving it. Red cover. Mickey-ish Mouse. Every so often in my small college town, I could find amazing stuff at a bookstore, even convenience stores. Like a copy of Ray Gun at a UniMart once. Not the David Carson Zapf Dingbats one. I don't think.
There’s no “I’m sorry” that’s sorry enough. Love to you,
Thank you! I haven’t read Adbusters in ages! I’m ashamed to say.
Healthcare and the fact that merely surviving can financially ruin a person is an absolute first world embarrassment. I am hoping that this is the moment for turning that ship around.
So there IS an answer to “how much is ‘enough!’” Depending on your healthcare system. I say wryly.
Without ever having done anything like that, I can still say never have I ever been so relieved to be an underachiever. And an introvert. It’s a good way to avoid hoof and mouth!
The parts where other guests kept asking why they were there really stuck with me. Along with the post-consequences existence, imagine endlessly shuffling and manifesting your dream dinner party guest list for reasons that may include stupid inside jokes.
Important read:
Surround yourself with the kind of people who help turtles cross the road.
It’s too early in the day for me to get my head around this. Also betting what remains of racing Twitter is afire right now.
Merry X-Mas (Infowars is over)
I've thought about this quote 👏 every 👏 single 👏 day 👏 since the election.
That sounds about right 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Having a good-faith conversation shouldn’t be this hard.
I really want to know what’s in that autopsy. My biggest fear is that we keep repeating old ineffective and ultimately destructive patterns.
Yes. Yes. Yes!!! I know a lot of Dems who are frustrated by a lack of plainspoken-ness. YEARS ago, I remember Pete Buttigieg talking about our “condescension problem” on CSPAN, when he was running for DNC chair (IRC).
210% this. The problem isn’t policy or position so much is how we talk about and describe policy and position to the outside world. As a wise ad agency boss once told me: “you and everyone you know is not ‘everybody.’” Frankly, I feel like we could fck up offering to share cookies.
As a former StoryCorps facilitator, this is fucking disgusting.
End the project already, Dave.
You created a good model: you encouraged people to sit and do oral history for 20 yrs.
Turning StoryCorps into a surveillance capitalism nightmare is not worth the money to keep the project going.
Making stuff in both spheres, I feel the only excuse for being legally loose with copyright or ownership or permissions is when YOU HAVE NO MONEY. Guerilla outfits? Fine. Fan art? Fine. Microbudget work? Hell yeah.
If you’re the planet’s most powerful billionaires; BE THE GROWN UP.
We used to have to get written permission if someone was going to appear in the background of something filmed. How are tech bros allowed to just consume every photo you've ever taken, analyse and name the people in it and use it for their own money making?
Meanwhile the guy I thought had dialed back his yard display in recent months just added a small “Tramp 2028” sign 🙄
Look, I know that the prudent legal tactic is to file a motion to dismiss because there's no way this meets the Sullivan criteria, but lawyers, hear us out.
Discovery while expensive would be FUNNY.
And we all need a laugh right now.
“The Fix” is an important new book by a brilliant former US attorney, now a leading U of Michigan law professor and TV commentator. I recommend pre-ordering it now!
