#YourDailyReminder: In the United States, executive orders are not laws. The President does not dictate federal law (that power lies solely with Congress), nor can they forbid states from enforcing their own laws.

This is an impeachment offense, and if our press were worth half of a quarter of a shit, it would be all over every single channel, kind of like Joe Biden being a bit slow with a name now and then.
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI
The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage
This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?
