I have often found, actually, that I can tell everything I need to know about whether or not a cis man is a real one by whether he maintains a juvenile mockery towards menstruation well into adulthood or whether he takes the many, many aspects of menstrual justice seriously
See how our friend Will focuses on tampons because he is both totally grossed out and also has no idea about the politics of period products.
While protesting abortion bans in Texas, tampons were confiscated at security because they were afraid we would throw cotton balls at politicians.

at a deep instinctive level they can't recognise popular ideas or take them seriously

Christmas is associated with a figure with a long white beard, surrounded by many elves - a clear Christianization of Gandalf.

look, it won't sound impressive in the future to say "I reshared a video" as your contribution to the cause but getting this thing in front of normies who don't see the firehose of news we do on bluesky dot app is absolutely an important thing

But I can see you
Your bronze helm shining in the sun
And there's Gilgamesh with scale armor on, baby
And I can tell you and Enkidu will still be strong
After the boys of Sumer have gone

And I can tell you and Enkidu will still be strong

And they said bari Weiss couldn’t push cbsnews into new formats and find new audiences
It's the least important element to this, but I find it fascinating on an aesthetic level too.
Americans are watching a bootleg broadcast that someone in Canada recorded off their TV. And people are copying it to various platforms (however imperfect visually) to get it out as widely as possible.

Can you tell that today is a solstice by the tilt of the Earth? Yes. At a solstice, the Earth's terminator -- the dividing line between night and day -- is tilted the most.

And especially because A LOT of long COVID is actually postviral MCAS (like, studies consistently find about 60% or so of people with long COVID improve significantly if they treat it like MCAS) so there are suddenly millions more people with the disorder, sigh.

RICK STEVES:
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.
