listen I'm not saying don't nationalize the ivy league either
My most woke opinion?
All private schools should be illegal. All. No exceptions. Through undergraduate and graduate education. Your kid hits four, they’re going to be at their assigned pre-k, or you’re doing a night in lock up until they start.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I have been informed from his family that long-time writer for Vampire: the Masquerade, Jason Andrew has passed.
While I am aware of his controversies, I am also aware of his work, and hope both can be held in the heart for what they are at this time.

Half the reason I stopped pursuing stand up was how much the professionalism of it had NOTHING to do with being funny.
My best mate was a drummer in a very well regarded Australian band of the 90’s and he said 90% of it all was schlepping shit in clapped out cars to dingy venues, setting up, practicing and then finding time to “create”. The public facing stuff was part of the iceberg people only saw.

Not only are people's smartphones being used to mine their data about what they spend and where and why; people are also joyfully bragging about the money they blow to their feeds, to any and all who happen across them.
People see what the divide really is there, at Disney parks and elsewhere.

There, now we can finally get to the real question:
Is this table-top role-playing game sanguine (hot and wet), choleric (hot and dry), melancholic (cold and dry) or phlegmatic (cold and wet)?

Watched the Minecraft on of streaming and thought it was real dumb with a half nod to camp. The twinned deuteragonists (Steve and 1989 man) pulled focus, the story lacked a compelling antagonist, and the background radiation of "crap down in modern Idaho" setting felt bitter.

I love this, and have a fun little story to go with my love of this.
Ages ago, back in the days of Blockbuster, my dad let my sister and I pick one movie every other Friday. I picked Jaws. Religiously. To the point it was no longer an option.
As a self-proclaimed Jaws scholar: I endorse this view.

This is one of the most important pieces of sports and labor journalism of the year, not just because of the quality of the scoop, but also in its presentation and the immediacy of its central question: Who, exactly, benefits from labor knowing less about how the sausage is made?
The new PTFO is a big one.
The full 61-page document we exclusively obtained has layers upon layers upon layers. It's a truly fascinating journey behind the NFL and NFLPA’s locked doors.

my dystopian space prison is that you get your ego resleeved into a body being cloned for a rich immortal. You need to exercise the body, eat right, and generally make sure once the cloned body hits 18 the immortal will be able to sleeve into it and have a nice, fit teenage body to use. Repeat.

This is alike but not an exact copy of mommy/daddy issues for billionaires: their emotional need to be told "Stay Gold, Ponyboy"
I think a conundrum for rich powerful people is that they don't want to FEEL like they are being coddled and sucked up to, but if anyone actually disagrees with them slightly, they melt down. So they need people that suck up to them while seeming brash and honest which usually just means being rude

I am exhausted. I have been a out trans woman in sports for almost a decade and a half. I have done so openly for all that time, lifting up my sport, promoting it, being an innovator and trainer.

Great post, would add: the inherent ideal of the 1959 Berlin model home was its full atomization: food with no restaurant, laundry with no laundromat, cleaned with no cleaners.
A life lived without any relationship beyond purchasing power, consumption without community & service without servants.

The Tiffany Problem: Homophobe Edition
People often say words like Lesbian are too modern for fantasy settings but are fine with the idea of a diamond ring for marriage. Lesbian as a word for women in relationships with women 1870 term where diamond ring for marriage is 1947. People simply do not understand words, history, etc.

A colossal celestial being of impossible size and might is looking for you. All you can do is hide in the crowd, blend in as best you can, and hope to stay hidden long enough for it to lose interest and disappear again into the cosmos. You have a striped shirt and a knit cap.
