Did you ever wonder what you would have done as a citizen in historical times of incredible cruelty: slavery, the holocaust, etc.?
You don't have to wonder anymore! You're doing it!

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is
- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)
- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)
- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Honestly? Any parent using the “parental rights” argument to control anygoddamnthing wrt their child/ren is simply a shitty parent. I know bc that argument is based in the belief that children = property.
No. Just no.

We _owe_ them, not own them.

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy

I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button

"bipartisan" should become a dirty curse, as in "You're appeasing fascists, bipartisan asshole."
A Democratic messaging firm ("Navigator Research") tied to the establishment has sent out a memo on govt shutdown fight around DC this am.
They want the Democrats/progressives to focus on "bipartisanship" and focus no pissing of Republicans by talking about "stopping Trump." 🙃

Even if you don’t normally mask remember that two major categories of people at pharmacies are
1. People with chronic health issues who may be immuno comprised and not be covered well by one-way masking
2. Sick people getting meds who didn’t mask up

PSA: Please remember to wear a well-fitting mask when you’re at the pharmacy getting vaccinated (or are there for any other reason). I really appreciate anyone taking a step to protect themselves by getting vaccinated, but you put yourself at unnecessary risk if you don’t wear a mask while doing so.

When 4,000 people are expected to die from heat in FRANCE, you can bet that life in the American South isn’t sustainable without AC. Folks in India face even worse heat.
AC hasn’t been a luxury in years.
AC hasn’t been a luxury in years.
I’ve read a lot of research on air conditioning, heat waves, and mortality, and there’s extremely strong consensus among actual experts about “we need to expand global access to air conditioning at the same time as we engage in other sustainable measures, like better architecture and green spaces.”

I post/repost this information every time I see it because every time I hear a mostly offline person talking about it, it’s in the same breath as Google and boy are they not the same thing.
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The health/medical freedom movement is not about “bodily autonomy”, as they like to claim. It’s about them wanting to do whatever they want, even if it harms others, without any consequences to them whatsoever.
