Because even the left uses "affirmative action" as an insult against conservatives, white women, or groups they don't like. In America, being undeserving of your success is the worst image you can have.

Diversity was a workaround against saying "we gave minorities special help."

People spent months freaking out about "the groups" making everyone do nonbinary land acknowledgements and thereby handing the GOP unlimited power, no one talks about the groups on the right.

What else does she write about? Every time she breaks containment the article is always "Some kids online criticised me AND CANCEL CULTURE IS WORSE THAN HITLER."

So based on your theory, this is what "the donor class" cares about:

-Israel
-Hating snotty lefty kids at Oberlin
-end of list.

Do we have a theory about WHY this appeals to the donor class?

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

So do something about it! You're a Congressman! One of the theoretically co-equal branches of government.

Every time the GOP breaks the law, arrest them. Make judges throw out the cases. Force the GOP's hand. Use the power of the state before it's fully in GOP control.

This is suck a joke. The "AI actress" is a CGI character. No different from Andy from Toy Story. Plenty of people masturbate to anime, but Tyler Cowen should keep that shit private.

Matthew Sheffield @matthew.flux.community · 13d

🧵 Libertarian economist Tyler Cowen is making headlines for an extremely creepy post at Bari Weiss's blog fantasizing about robot virgins and the AI character Tilly Norwood.

Unfortunately, the story behind is much worse...

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

The Jimmy Kimmel fight was successful because celebrities threatened a boycott and Disney lost money. How do you propose anyone loses money as a result of Trump using his own personal military to attack US citizens in violation of the Constitution?

Can you show me that science? I assume you're talking about people that have fully transitioned. I find that hard to believe because even post transition there are differences in height and size.

It's possible to support trans rights while still acknowledging a bio advantage in sports.

The only way we've found to stop Trump is economic pressure of big companies. That's pathetic.

I mean, I hope like hell Tylenol sues the shit out of Trump and RFK Jr. But this isn't a long term solution.

Not sure what's worse, that America elected this senile moron or that no one in THE ENTIRE WORLD can stop this senile moron from doing whatever he wants.

ABC backed down on Jimmy Kimmel because of a looming economic boycott. What if the rest of the world did something similar on a global scale?

"Where Nixon had to contend with a Supreme Court that rejected his claim of absolute immunity and a Congress that stood ready to impeach him, the other branches of govt these days have no interest in reining in Trump. He can do a Watergate every week safe in the knowledge that no one will stop him."

Trump posts his Watergate tapes

It ended Nixon's presidency. For Trump, it's just another Saturday.

Not a single actual scientist? Banning trans women from sports should be the easiest low hanging victory for the anti trans side, which is why they’re so desperate to use it as a wedge. All you need is a scientist to talk about physical disparities even after transition. No one could do this?
