This is the problem with a lot of politics-brained people, they don't believe in anything, except winning and losing. So policy is chosen not on right or wrong, but what they think will appeal to the imaginary "normal" voter.
There's something kind of sick about this headline. Like they honestly can't see the value of morality in itself, they can only think about things in terms of winning the game.
Imagine looking around America in 2025 and thinking, "What we need less of is morality."

Private vehicle ownership should be rare, and expensive. Transit, walkablity, and cycles should be the norm. (Provision for rural areas and disabilities should, of course, be considered)
"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.

"Utopia for Realists" (have read) and "Frog and Toad Together" (have it memorized, thanks to my 2 year old).
alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Okay, but can anyone prove this isn't the case in real life, and therefore not a bug but an accurate simulation of reality?

When I was looking to buy, back in 2021, the agents kept forgetting we weren't landlords. They'd show you the tiniest bedroom, and remark "of course, you could get a double bed in here" (you could not). The whole pitch was around rent.
79% of homes sold in Dublin this year were bought by landlords, 75% by large landlords. About 1 in 5 TDs are landlords.
This is disgusting dog whistling. The problem has never been people seeking asylum. The problem is people seeking to endlessly profit from folks just looking for a home.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
