From the same newspaper that published “did feminism fuck up the work place?”, we now have “did feminism fuck up sex?”
The NYT really is desperate to cater to conservative audiences and it’s just getting more obvious and embarrassing.

Transmasc rep peaked here, I am not even joking.
Where else will you see an unhinged edgy trans dude with sharp teeth that wants to kill his original clone and his name reads like sex.
And he is very much explicitly transgender too and identity is integral to his story. This manga is from 90s.

dont care about 'falling birth rates', dont care about overpopulation, sorry im focused on the fact we have a world to win
you legitimately could not get me to care a single bit about "falling birth rates" for a myriad of reasons but especially with the way this society treats women and trans people and children in particular sorry. child abuse is just the norm worldwide. let the birth rates fall tbh

birth rate declines occurring as a consequence of advanced well-distributed technology, high bodily autonomy, democratic social structures, diverse sexual partnerships, and a social focus on goals beyond hetero reproductive futurity is unironically good & progressive and we should not raise them

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

underrated concept when thinking about patriarchal oppression is the concept of Brotherhoods -- the fraternities of "boys' networks" that deliberately exclude based on race & gender in part through sustained and continuous actions of racism and misogyny to maintain them
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Honestly this is an excuse.
I know plenty of people who are not “naturally gifted” who do art.
It requires effort to learn. I feel you did not approach it correctly or think things happen over night.
Also hard work and skill is not “naturally gifted” as that undermines their efforts to draw.

this is a great point and to that end: why isn't Anthropic building a salesforce competitor or whatever? Surely they could with the magic of Claude Code based on all the crap I've read
Once again: if these LLMs could actually do all the things their owners claim, they wouldn’t be selling access. They would be building and selling all the things they claim their software can do.

Shitty people can make good and even great art. Likewise, dropping a favorite artist after you realize you can no longer support them can feel like a divorce or a friend breakup because they and their work were just that important to you. That shit hurts, even when it's necessary for you.

A tough one to sit with--but we must--is that some people's ability to make good art in part derived from, or was protected by, the fact that they were enabling or doing terrible things. See also: We Need to Talk about Cosby doc. Even more troubling on this score: Read deep reporting on Alice Munro
"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.
A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.
