Every time the RW & techbro losers whine about the "crisis of masculinity" I think of how they just have no clue or imaginative ability to embrace what masculinity is & can be.
Then I re-watch this expression of masculinity, "like true heroes, we'll dance."

Join me on my mundane quest to better organize the house cleaning supplies and tools. I do not have a utility room so I need a workaround. To begin with, I am going to collect all supplies and tools on the dining room table and see what I have (and what spaces are then emptied out).

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Favorite images of 2025, Day 6: A roseate spoonbill splashes its wings through the water, causing an explosion of droplets as it looks straight ahead towards the camera. One of my favorite photos I've ever taken. #birds

The FIFA "peace" trophy looks (to me) like the hands of a bunch of starving, dying people who, sinking into the autocrat-created mire of cruelty, poverty, imprisonment, disease, and death, desperately reach for help that will never come while Trump gloats and rants. On brand.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
