weird how this always happens with free markets. but let's keep trying. maybe the next free market economy will be the really good one.
Just to be pedantic, this isn't a free market. It's a kleptocracy.

Most of the stuff that keeps a free market healthy and balanced has been overtaken by a combination of technological monopolies and naked corruption.

the most essentially American beliefs are that effects do not have causes, causes do not lead to effects, your natural superiors are in power, and possessing any knowledge of how and why their decisions are made is both foolish and dangerous.

I don't believe I've ever seen Ted Levine speak so candidly about his regrets of portraying Buffalo Bill in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. He and some of the crew on the film were asked about the film's cultural transphobia by The Hollywood Reporter.

jesse jackson was constantly played as a punchline on 90s late-night TV to the point that i didn't understand his history of activism and serious left-leaning political platform until i was much older. i have to think, to some degree, that was on purpose.

there is a shadowy cabal of popular women secretly poisoning the waters of bluesky against me, which is definitely why everyone is annoyed by and doesn't want to talk to me

storytime: when i was very little i did Take Back The Night marches (before I aged out of eligibility) and a man circling the block so he could scream something pretty unpleasant was a very foundational memory. i understood being a woman meant tolerating people like that and i didn't want to.
Truth.

Despite all of this [waves arms at everything going on out there] there's been more joy in my life in the last almost-seven years than the whole of the previous 57.

remember when Anas Sarwar called on Keir Starmer to resign and absolutely nothing happened

People are counting Keir Starmer out, saying he's done, but not me. I reckon he's got plenty more completely avoidable fuck ups in him.

The puzzled reader may ask: how could a learned liberal professor have forgotten these elementary axioms familiar to anybody who has read any exposition of the views of socialism?…

the personal qualities of present-day professors are such that we may find among them even exceptionally stupid people

Democracy means equality. The great significance of the proletariat’s struggle for equality and of equality as a slogan will be clear if we correctly interpret it as meaning the abolition of classes.

Having pioneered the "Actually, you just don't get it" approach to medicine with trans people, the NHS is excited to roll this out to every other cohort it can't be bothered dealing with.

Patients were forced to go private at great personal cost because NHS assessments for ADHD have waitlists up to 8 years long. And now, despite having those diagnoses, GPs are just refusing to give people meds they need for a diagnosis they have because... fuck you, that's why.

Cool!

Chicago’s Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection has at least temporarily shut down a local business operating as a “sex dungeon” in an attempt to determine where it fits in the city’s licensing code and whether it should be allowed to resume operations.

It is legitimately so ridiculous that there is a category called “rude” here where the mods decide which grown ass adults are too rude- it’s so silly
