This sort of absurd, ultra-bleak reading of the remarkable prosperity of modern societies is not only embarrassingly wrong - and I saw a historian retweet this sincerely (!!) - but also helps fuel not materialist, left-wing politics, but rather reactionary right-wing politics ('RETVRN-ism').

So what you have *actually* discovered is that an American family working at minimum wage is *meaningfully better off* in terms of access to real resources than someone on the lower runs of Victorian Britain's educated *urban middle class.*
Quite the opposite of the intended implication!

man, the opposing team in A FULL COURT MIRACLE was really fortunate that basketball finals coincided with Hanukkah, instead of closer to April like it is in real life. imagine a pesach-themed version of that movie!

This is just how the rules work. If an aid flotilla approached occupied Mariupol we would not be asking questions about whether the Russians get to say no to its entrance. To be sure, they would say no, but we wouldn't recognise that as legitimate.

Given that the Sumud flotilla was approaching Palestinian, not Israeli waters, it is entirely up to the government of the State of Palestine whether they are allowed in. The UK recognises the State of Palestine. Ergo, the UK must demand that the Israelis respect its right to control its borders.

once a very popular m/m author who writes like this said to me "gay men are still men and as such are still prone to Man Writer Syndrome™" and looked to me as The Token Queer Man in the room to back her up. (1/4)
one of the crazier things about this is that in my experience Problematic M/M Written By Women™ usually does the OPPOSITE of this. it treats queer men like hypersexual fuckdolls, without any interiority beyond what's sexy in some woman's fantasies!
Yep it totally sounds like this show has been "desexed"

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential
