“quite the character” - my mother

They’re saying from each according to his ability — and I have the best ability, a soldier came up to me and told me, tears in his eyes, she said “you saved America, sir,” she said, cold day, she had these rosy cheeks, unlike Rosie O’Donnell, no ability — to each, to each according to his needs.

this is the BEST idea for holiday gifts!!!
I’ve wanted to brag about my Christmas gift last year and here’s my chance.
I got the whole family matching magazine subs! Adults got Southern Cultures, OA, Bitter Southerner, The Sun, & New Yorker. Kid got Lux, Oyla, and later we added The Onion.
We always have stuff to talk about!

I got out of the habit of reading magazines bc of the social pressure of writers reading what's trendy/popular or frankly expected of you.
This year, I've dedicated myself back to reading magazines and I'm truly having the time of my life.

I’ve simply lived too long & too much to let people restate my position as their “critique” of what I just said. You can issue as many compassionate “agree to disagrees” as you want. I will keep saying, “yes that’s what I said” until we both die of thirst, starvation or embarrassment. I do not care

The notion that those who took part in slavery or conquest were merely abiding by the moral standards of their time necessary excludes those they targeted and kidnapped from those standards; *they* were never confused about this. But other white people were frequently disgusted by this stuff too!
Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.
Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

LOL oh wow the anti-vaxxers are mad that RFK Jr is saying Tylenol causes autism instead of vaccines. “We didn’t wait 20 years for Bobby to finally speak and then get served Tylenol as an answer.”
Anti-vaccine groups melt down over reports RFK Jr. to link autism to Tylenol
“THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY TYLENOL” Kennedy’s anti-vaccine group retweeted.

it seems like “liberal” dems - esp white guys - have gone full bimbo. they’re publicly playing dumb to win the approval of terrible (violent) men.
10 years ago liberal podcasters at least pretended to understand the paradox of intolerance. now they’re like, “point well-made, angel of death! 🥰😍💦”

For example, when men demand empathy but only women are socialized to have empathy, it becomes a demand for accommodation.

Woah. Sheesh. I am astonishment.
I said something last week that is more broadly applicable today:
Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.

Whether or not you support political violence won’t change where we’ve come to, nor where we’ve been for some time in this country. I am quite taken aback by how many people only invoke the term ‘political violence’ when it happens to a person with power. It’s political violence the other way too.

the “department of war” is the name my 7-year old nephew would give the LEGO structure he built for his tiny army guys
What’s War.gov? That’s the new URL for the Pentagon’s website, which, along with its social media channels, was overhauled Friday at President Donald Trump’s behest to reflect the US Defense Department’s new “Department of War” persona.
