that something (and other things) is pretty darn catastrophic, but when you have a two-party system where one stands for regressive things and the other is too confused (whether coincidentally or by design) to figure out its principles, you get our current mess.

the reason our current president is our current president is because he promised a bunch of stuff he couldn't actually deliver on (lowering grocery prices, anyone?) but lots of people voted for it bedcause he was going to DO SOMETHING

scolding non-voters is easier and less risky than telling people what you actually want to do that will improve their lives immediately, but the latter means people actually like you and want to vote for you (see NYC's mayor!)

here is the thing about vote scolding: it doesn't work

my personal position is that the right thing to do is to vote and - because the republican party is so completely world-destroyingly insane - to vote for the democrats

but you simply cannot change minds on this by scolding people

cosigning.

making a eugenic argument against ONE'S OWN EXISTENCE is a new low in self-hatred

This is a horrific and vile comment from someone regularly cited as a "progressive" by right wing media outlets. Brianna Wu plays a dangerous, destructive, and evil
game.

That’s just not good negotiating by Rosenior’s agent if true. Chelsea managers and head coaches are hired to be fired; one’s first obligation ahead of taking the job is to ensure you are paid in full.

A simple summary of Chelsea FC’s ownership and front office:

The more he pitches, the worse you feel. Casey Beans with every meal!

true, but if he had interest in a NYS-wide elected position, he'd still have to consider it, but just on a smaller scale. Your overall point stands. Not having to worry about (and/or opting not to) is freeing

honestly it's better he can't be POTUS. We in the USA have an issue with pinning hopes upon one extraordinary pol instead of doing the work in community to support others like them, and our political coverage reflects it. Trump is proof of how that happens in a less desirable way.

dude reads at a lower level than those kids, if reports are even close to accurate

a cherished time and experience, so many of us bonding over the wonders and grossouts that are nature

also known as the "War Dads" button and I mean that in the best way possible

this is the kind of abundance political theory I can get with 100%

of course after mainlining both AdP records I was looking for comparable instrumental albums and HI DON CABALLERO REISSUE OF "AMERICAN DON"

(there was a time where i was just using "American Don" as a life soundtrack in college)

Make Dudes Rock Again

publishing is about choices, and surrendering them or punting on them to the algorithm in the name of discourse, free speech, etc. is a choice, no matter the attempt at framing.

giving teenage boys technology that makes their indoctrinated, patriarchal entitlement toward girls' bodies easier was always going to go poorly

begging you all to understand that Catholics are allowed to disagree with the Pope. even on serious theological matters. it's actually pretty common, and knowing that will make your criticism and analysis much sharper!

tradcaths are just Calvinists who take the predestination aspect to believe they should be surrounded by opulance at all times

“'You need to sell sandwiches that are $15 or $16, or it’s impossible to keep the lights on,' [Andres Samper, founder of Manhattan Bagel Equity fund] said."

therein lies the issue -- the balance of a bagel that works for a bEC and a schmear on its own is tricky, hard to see PE not cutting corners

I have a few writers whose content I genuinely enjoy and cannot understand how this discourse has eluded them, but I won't pay for their premium tiers because of it

it's a very familiar track. white person (almost always dude) correctly identifies the source of his exploitation yet retains the entitlement to lash out at other disenfranchised communities in the hope of preserving a modicum of power and control for himself.

It’s part of the appeal. Picking a group who cannot exert claims upon you when you wrong them is, sadly, empowering.

And there are just a bunch of people who don’t like republicans but don’t like the feeling of not having a group they can deny that claim to more. Which makes Platner appealing.

there is also an evolution in the #USMNT fanbase griping about the player pool in response: it's changed rom "too many MLS players in the XI" to "MLS players as backups" to go with "throw the entirety of the USSF out on its ass!"

after listening to their releases a couple of times, Angine de Poitrine IMO is if Daft Punk chose live guitars and drums over synths and 808s, and I mean that in the best way possible

The Angine de Poitrine moment is great because honestly I love a band whose output is basically ADHD stimulation/focus music that makes my brain happy and I know is actually created by humans
