Libertarianism invariably boils down to some combination of:
1) Assume a strong theory of property, 2) assume a distribution of all existing property
3) declare that any derogation from those (1) and (2) is violence
4) pedophilia

"housing is a human right and that's why it should be illegal to build more of it"
It's just... we're debating "for people to have housing you have to build housing" versus "no you don't?" Like, what are we doing here?

Straight people lurk too much on queer parts of social media, see our reclaimed humor over things like Grindr and conservative men and about “doth protest too much” and then go “oh yes this is funny I can now accuse every evil man of being gay. Also, REAL straight people can’t be homophobic!”

Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda film by putting two or three dozen large moths in a paper bag. Take the bag to the movies with you, put it on the floor in an empty section of the theater as you go in and leave it open. The moths will fly out and climb into the projector beam,

I'm giving you a "gift non-link" to that Olivia Nuzzi story in the New York Times. Do not read it. I know this warning will only make some of you more curious. But it's not fascinating – it's stupid and icky. You'll feel played, just one of the fools manipulated by her enigmatic blond shtick.

People think "politics" is what you say, but politics is in fact how you wield power. In that sense, driving a car is one of the most profound ways to reveal what your actual politics are.
How people drive reveals the sickness at the heart of our society: wanting power, but not responsibility.

It just needs to be way easier to lose your license and your car for reckless driving, because a few months of major societal disruption 5 years ago taught people that driving in such a way that kills others or themselves is nbd
so uhhhhh is anyone going to do anything about the epidemic of drivers just blasting through red lights these days? @timdonnelly.com investigates: nygroove.nyc/why-does-no-...

A lot of well meaning cis allies will still be under the impression that your average trans girl grew up just like the boys around her. I don't think many actually understand just how frequently people picked up on how we are different and considered hurting as a victimless action

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.
