If one person from a group does something bad there no exists a whole internet echo system that endlessly spreads the information to everyone else within the system and sadly that includes a lot of journalists and politicians.
I really think this is one of the biggest problems with online discourse. The libs of TikTok/ end Wokeness approach of just constantly bombarding you with individual anecdotes that make you feel threatened and at war.
The internet is a good way to keep up to date with new ideas.
Many people have noted that while mermaids are sexy there is no obvious way to have something akin to hetero intercourse but you know who solves that? A mermaid where the bottom half is an octopus.

The PM directly leading a televised investigation into heinous child sex offences seems like the most tasteless policy idea it’s possible to come up with.
I'm still in awe of this absolutely incredible list of Blue Labour policy demands from earlier this year, tbh:

Not sure - 14 years into project - Blue Labour ever previously set out actual proposals before, so this is new
1. Abolish Treasury
2. Leave ECHR
3. Closr/refound half of unis
4. Double army size for anti-EU alliance with Ukraine
5. PM to lead grooming inquiry with arrest powers + televised trials

Computer, please summarize everything PG Wodehouse ever wrote in ten seconds
rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:
• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).
• Sex criminals.
• War criminals.

You guys are all dunking on this, but this is the most elite example of turning in an essay without having done the reading I've ever seen. Oh, I didn't cite anything? My arguments are muddled and incoherent? My paper has no structure?
Yeah well, I'm being oppressed. Checkmate nerd.

so its easier to, IMHO, stigmatize socially awkward and weird men and women for the problem (“brainless fans with no lives!” ) instead of, say, a competent and intelligent professional with a family who simply wants to turn off their brain

Decent answer, but this is why CNN needs experts on the law of the sea on, instead of the usual political commentators. They could easily explain why this violates maritime rules.

"Surely a quick, violent, successful war of aggression is just what the ruler needs to shore up his legitimacy," said just about every failed monarch in history shortly before invading Serbia.
Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
