It's not bigger and more complicated than that. You don't have to put tits on the fucking dog. You don't have to want to fuck a cartoon. You have fucked with your own brain.

I'm sorry, did somebody get driven off of this website over people wanking to the friendly dog in animal crossing? Are you sure you people don't have a porn addiction? You keep saying that it's not a real thing but then what's with all of these Behaviors

Maduro has done a lot of bad things but there is definitely a non-zero chance that he gets acquitted on all charges because the Trump administration, especially the Justice Department, is such a bunch of incompetent clowns

It’s almost as if her alleged “standards” defense was just a smokescreen for her political decision.
Bari Weiss's Free Press website ran this screed by Matt Taibbi defending his lawsuit against a book author.
But the Free Press apparently never reached out to the author. Even though Weiss spiked that 60 Minutes piece for not reaching out to enough Trump officials www.thefp.com/p/matt-taibb...

Matt Taibbi: To Protect Free Speech, I’m Suing the Man Who Defamed Me
There’s a difference between censorship, which prevents speech, and seeking restitution for a harmful lie already in print. That's why I'm suing the man who defamed me, writes Matt Taibbi.

The internet is great because it allows minorities of all sorts to form communities when normally they would simply be drowned out or segregated. Unfortunately, having an identity be primarily online causes mass insanity.

I've been wondering the same thing and the general conclusion I came away with is bc no one bothers to actually fucking read anything for themselves anymore and instead just shares whatever they find on social media without bothering to check it.

There's no evidence of fraud in Minnesota's child care subsidy program.
The narrative and policy are being totally driven by racist innuendo absent real evidence.

The idea that Mitch McConnell was a successful obstructionist is a pop-culture myth that needs to die. He largely failed; the ACA passed, Obama became a two-term POTUS. Where he DID succeed, it was because he had *bipartisan* aid from the anti-Obama centrist Blue Dog Dems — remember them?

Because they like Republicans and want them to win
everything keeps getting dumber so I may come to regret this question but does the New York Times have any particular reason to believe the Nazi Pillow guy is a "strong" candidate for governor?

I mean, it does make a certain amount of sense that the downfall of empire is caused by people who don't understand how you actually make empire in the first place
It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

I see so many people talk about the enormous psychic burden of living in these times, and the thing is most of that is about hyperawareness, not personal experience.

The reason I love this Reductress joke is that it gets to the essence of what "The Doomscroll" actually is.
It's not simply a parade of disinterestedly reported news stories with sober headlines about tragedies. It's everyone else's *commentary* about them.
