For this episode of In Bed with the Right @moiradonegan.bsky.social and I headed to Flavortown to talk about its frosty-tipped mayor, about Anthony Bourdain, celebrity chefs and the gender of cookery www.patreon.com/posts/episod...
No but that would be funny. "People who yelled at Moira in 2018 that she's still mad at."
You'd be surprised!
People would then, and still will, really look you in the eye and say that sexuality cannot be free unless men are permitted to rape with impunity. Free for whom, one wonders.
Holding men accountable for sexual violence against women would be, you will be dismayed to learn, exactly like the abuses of the war on terror, the surveillance of the Gestapo, and the death flights of the Argentinian junta
Reading some (nominally) left wing critiques of Me Too from 2017-2018 for work and wheww I had forgotten how unhinged this was
"Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us."
There are pro-sexual violence factions everywhere.
Despite her recently acquired and extremely vehement anti-LGBT stances, Mace does have a strong personal investment in opposing sexual violence against cis women—a position that has alienated her from many in her party. It’s conspicuous to me that this is one way the MAGA coalition is fracturing.
In February 2025, Mills was investigated for domestic violence against his mistress. In August, 2025, another woman sued Mills, alleging that he had threatened her with revenge porn. Mace has pushed for greater transparency into sexual harassment investigations and payouts in Congress.
What do you mean it’s “lesbian visibility week”? Don’t look at me
And remember, the stakes of this are not even just whether these groups get to subject me to the indignity of being denied service. It’s also about whether I as a taxpayer have an obligation to pay them to do so.
I mean it’s also immoral and contrary to the spirit of a pluralist democracy on its own terms. But much of the legitimacy of these rulings relies on Republican justices’ claims that they are distinct from racial discrimination cases. But that distinction is extremely tenuous!
The thing about these religious exemptions to public accommodation civil rights law that the court is creating is that they have no limiting principle. If commercial enterprises can refuse to serve me because my marriage is gay, why not because it’s interracial? Why not because I’m a woman in pants?
Whatever you do, don’t ask the people inside and never, ever sign anything
The general consensus is that the Silicon Valley rightward turn was the inevitable endpoint of capitalist incentives. Some say it was California’s peculiar blend of Reaganism & ready drugs. But we can’t rule out the possibility that some of these tech guys had their brains broken by Jungian analysis
The CG Jung Institute of San Francisco
Sometimes I get the suspicion that this place a few miles from my house is where the Horrors began
Is it still terrible? Usually, yes. But I have tricked myself out of fearing this.
I start a document that I label “[name of piece] NOTES” and then tell myself that I’m just typing out notes and ideas for when I really write the piece later. Invariably I wind up drafting the piece in this notes document.
They call me
Reminds me of some people tbh!!!!
According to the “Beef” creator Lee Sung Jin, “In 2026, you really can’t talk about anything—life, marriage, love, career—without the theme of class being the variable.” www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
Do you ever think about how Georges Bataille and his French sociologist friends all got so obsessed with ritual human sacrifice that they formed a secret society to conduct one, but they couldn’t do it because nobody wanted to be the executioner and everyone wanted to be the victim?
I mean if your primary political preoccupation is resentment at anti-racism and anti-sexism activism on the left, there is indeed already a party for that.
These people act like they’re entitled to permanent groveling apologies and Nuremberg-style tribunals because they had to see pronouns in other people’s email signatures for like three years.
One thing I wish we acknowledged more is that the anti-woke coalitions have won—both in the Democratic Party and in much of the country more broadly—and yet they’re still complaining.
WOW: Jodi Kantor & Adam Liptak have the memos that describe the origins of SCOTUS shadow docket - the 2016 order halting Obama’s Clean Power Plan @jodikantor.bsky.social @adamliptak.bsky.social @nytimes.com

Genuinely crazy to me the extent to which Silicon Valley has made doing drugs uncool.

Courting the insufferable ayahuasca guy vote.
I’m running for Congress for the same reason I wrote this oped: the billionaires won’t save us — they’re the ones stealing our money!
Let’s reclaim what’s ours.
