If it's subtle and believable, it's satire.
If it's absolutely batshit insane, it's reality.

The danger of knowing NYC sample sales is that sometimes you find steals that warp your expectations on what things should cost. Like finding a leather shirt with label that says $895, signs in store say $150, and it scans at $105 with no taxes.

I think sometimes folks on the left forget that the most successful progressive leader in American history was a Baptist minister who used Christian faith to argue for racial and economic justice.
Don’t buy into right wing framing that they have a lock on faith.

While Marvel has an official gay character in the MCU, Shang Chi is going to be considered a gay icon because of his run as Mary’s (gay) Teacher and the affair with Mary’s Husband. And Mary being played by John Cameron Mitchell even makes when he is playing straight quite gay.

It’s so hard to have a reasonable conversation about AI, because people refuse to see the massive upsides of job elimination, higher electrical bills, hard drive shortages, poisoning black people in Memphis, and an economy where a handful of pedos with bad hair control your life

It costs $130 + a $35 facility fee to obtain a passport and an extra $30 for a passport card. In California, fees for certified copies of vital records are between $18 and $31 each. How is the SAVE Act not a poll tax?

And yet, every day, our most prominent Democratic politicians, scholars, public intellectuals, universities & university leaders, & other civil society organizations continue to use his platform as their primary social media outlet. One cannot help but notice this & draw conclusions.
The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

Ride the NYC subway and wait at the platforms and you start to form a new unit of time because of the performers everywhere doing Careless Whisper. And FYI, Q from Herald Square to Canal St is 1 Careless Whisper.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

Now the editor is castigating her and journalism professors for not being “prepared for the workforce.”
