“Women are cringe” —a reflexive bigotry that a kind of shocking number of people have mistaken for a politics.
It is October 16th and Hobby Lobby is advertising *Christmas decorations* on Hulu

“Orientalism in parties” is another one

You could get a dissertation out of that and opium alone
Where lesser women would have retreated to write fanfic to get out of a terrible house party, Mary Shelley created an entirely new genre
it is not ABOUT a party, but it was written AT one, so
Where does Frankenstein fit in to this, I am obsessed
"centered on narrative while avoiding the exploitation of sex workers" oh my god shut up, this is bad and you should feel bad about wanting it, stop trying to find magic words to make it not shitty
I fully recognize this for the bait it's trying to be, but fuck it

setting aside the ethics of AI (which are bad enough) think for one fucking second about the damage "a partner who can never say no" will do the brains of the men who use it, and the bodies *and* minds of the people they fuck
A categorically new version of pornography centered on narrative while avoiding exploitation of sex workers and millions of liberal millennials inexplicably pretending like they're not going to use it
You can tell he/his advisors think it's so clever by how often he says it, without ever once thinking of the implications in reverse (only by submitting to monarchy will the peasants be allowed to eat)
ooof no I haven't, but I will put it on my list!
I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT

I think we just figured out how Silicon Valley techbros cooked their brains
my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

this whole thing smacks of gender, etc
a lot of people want to read Trump and team's fossil fuel obsession as being about *money* but while there is of course a corruption element, it's primarily pure culture war stuff. even many of the big fossil fuel companies want to get into renewables because it's so obviously the future.
Coal production and employment in Wyoming has steadily been declining, much like the rest of the industry in the US.

Coal is a dead industry.

As a feminist I’m maybe more invested than most in the idea that major figures of history cannot be neatly categorized as “bad, therefore nothing they did was good” or “good, therefore nothing bad they did matters.” But Columbus is an unusually unambiguous case. His only achievement was an accident!
The notion that those who took part in slavery or conquest were merely abiding by the moral standards of their time necessary excludes those they targeted and kidnapped from those standards; *they* were never confused about this. But other white people were frequently disgusted by this stuff too!
Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

the *rage* conservative men in particular feel about women choosing to dress and style themselves in a way those women *enjoy* rather than catering specifically to the conservative male gaze is...illuminating

almost without question

is this gonna be an area where we always disagree

for sure

but telling the US bishops they’re out of pocket for betting all their chips on Roe to the exclusion of guns and war and famine hits different when an American pope says it
The thing that grosses me out is the extent to which people on the left will now jokingly use "cucked" like that is somehow scoring points on someone

I am begging everyone, please stop
My most Kooky Old Lady coded activity is in the fall when I am going for walks I will grab a milkweed pod from my small prairie patch and scatter the seeds around the neighborhood, like a milkweed version of the Lupine Lady
The fixation on Greta Thunberg is *so* odd to me. "The antichrist is a 22 year old Scandinavian woman who makes me angry because she openly cares about humanity" okay if you say so, bro
