Alan Watts agrees with you.

*English Labour, everyone was so polite to drop hints instead of hisses.

Thanks! Sounds like they didn’t really mean it the first time, then. Good to know about SNP.

American here with only the faintest grasp on UK politics: didn’t British Labour just get their asses handed to them over this exact thing? Does Scottish Labour have the internet? Or are they just that horny to segregate trans people?

You’re a shitpoaster! I follow you because your posts make me snort when I can’t fall back asleep at 5am! Not to analyze your Takes.

Hobbyless behavior.

[Interviewer] What has it been like shifting from reporter to media executive, managing a staff instead of filing stories yourself? And do you write any of the jokes at The Onion? Or are you strictly managing the business? [Ben Collins] The Onion's process is deeply, beautifully inefficient. Every day, our writers take 150 headlines into a physical writers room in Chicago and whittle them down to maybe one or two. These people throw away the funniest sentence I will ever write in my life six times by noon every weekday. The point of taking over this place was to preserve this process, which I learned this week is almost assuredly more rigorous than The New York Times. That's why I don't touch any of it. I just try to get more people to pay attention to the output, and get our work into different mediums and new places. We brought back the paper, reinvested in the Onion News Network, bought a full page ad in The Times for something they were going to write anyway. The role is to make the world-class work they're already doing seep into everyday American life more frequently, and that's working. You actually can do this, you know. You can just try to highlight the beauty of things you like and not try to vampirically extract value at every step. If people get one thing out of this whole Q&A, I hope it's that. You do not have to make an A.I. version of your own employees that operate at 1.5x speed but produce purely iterative garbage, especially in media and journalism. People don't actually want that shit. Make a good, human thing and people will bend over backwards to support you. This is a valid way to run a company.

With alt text, too good not to be accessible by all.

Yup, this one exactly. Recognized it instantly. I don't remember the vehicle but the sticker instantly seared itself into my brain (and I'm a car guy so that's saying something). Howdy neighbor!

P.S. sticker is so funny I actually died. Posting this from the grave (buried loose).

Side note: the sound of a Prius with no cat is absolutely hilarious.

I live in Oakland. Neighbor has a Prius with the cat stolen. Saw one of these stickers a few weeks ago on a different non-Tesla car.

It’s only a matter of time.

I get grumpy if I have two meetings in one day. Major respect for two cases in two different courts. Fuck ‘em up, ma’am.

& Muted by "A Very British Bigotry" I am in no way antiTrans. But

Many such cases

Including family members. My mom is convinced I’m secretly still a conservative being silenced or brainwashed into complicity with Woke, despite having argued against her politics since she disparaged a young mother using WIC in 2009…

I just read this after seeing your national caregivers day post. Matt’s reaction at the end made me smile real wide. Thank you for sharing.

i've seen enough: greg bovino is a bitch.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I have ADHD and I approve this shirt.

Being willing to say, “Oops, got the time zone wrong!” instead of “We regret the scheduling error” has no business being this refreshing in politics. Small but real.

Alan Watts, "The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are" (1966)

"…but the more absolute his power…the more he is the prisoner of his own trap. ...He cannot wander at leisure in the streets and parks of his own capital, or sit on a lonely beach listening to the waves and watching the gulls. Through enslaving others he himself becomes the most miserable of slaves.
