I shared it on the family Facebook. My pro-Trump xenophobic aunt watched it. She said it should be aired & people should see it. She said Trump sending people to El Salvador was wrong & against the Constitution. She said some other stuff I won’t repeat, but even for her CECOT is a bridge too far.

This thread (and Wikipedia article) were super interesting to read, and the theory makes a lot of sense.
I am an evolutionary biologist (though publishing more in medicine these days). I think trans modality is an evolutionary spandrel. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spandre...

I’m starting to see rainbow capitalism as something that should be celebrated. Yeah it’s likely stories like Target and Walmart’s C suite are at best apathetic and at worst homophobic. But the fact they have to pretend to love LGBT is the ultimate power move. THEY HAVE to pretend for a month

“biggest cure for toxic masculinity is platonic women friends” is correct
This is a model for what actual masculinity should be. Men don’t need to spend more time in caves beating their chests with other men; they need to take their daughters to a meaningful thing and talk to them about it. Relatedly I think the biggest cure for toxic masculinity is platonic women friends
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

A huge problem with our current era is everyone is trying to out-populist each other so no one wants to be the cuck going “erm actually this is a different and far less bad type of elite misbehavior”, so it all gets flattened to the same thing. But the difference between those things *is* important!
I’m naive, I’m a sucker, I’m all those things, but I really don’t think Bill Clinton is a childfucker
Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Being an incorrigible skirt-chaser even when married and possible low-grade sexual harasser? Bad! Not the same as being a pedophile!
Being close with industry lobbyists? Bad! Not the same as taking bribes!
The flattening of grey areas with outright evil is unironically part of why we got Trump.

The self-proclaimed "covid conscious" crowd who helped mainstream anti-mRNA sentiment are as much to blame for this as the rest of the antivaxxer crowd. This isn't just about covid vaccines, it's also about mRNA cancer vaccine research, but none of the anti-mRNA useful idiots care about that.

I'm gonna be real: many many times when I've watched a sexy TV show and gone "oh wow, this is being surprisingly normal and positive about sex!" I later found out it was a Canadian production.
I have *never* thought that about HBO. If I'm uncomfortable and sad, I check to see if it's HBO.

Heated Rivalry is a Crave production, from Canada. HBO is just a distributor. I really wish people would stop attributing anything in the production of this show to HBO.
Sounds like this set was run how they all should be. HBO once again leading the industry in intimacy directing.

Finished the back piece of my cabled sweater last night.
Next I gotta do the front pieces, which means I gotta do buttonholes, which means I gotta figure out which buttons I want to use so I can make the buttonholes the right size.
