I wonder how much of the Overton window is affected by decades of Republicans convincing themselves that Democrats are far left commies?
Repubs: We want this!
Dems: Sure!
Repubs: Oh no, must be communist! We want this instead!
Dems: Okay.

If you need evidence that God was created in humanities image, look how unjust and cruel he is while claiming to be good and righteous.

It is and always has been commonplace to lip sync on television. Ashlee Simpson fumbled it, was too embarrassed to recover, and her only fault was blaming the musicians.
Kid Rock's performance was ridiculous. After his long career, how is he unable to mouth the words to his own songs?

The map seems to think I'm American. It must be set on fire now, much like we did to the White House that one time.
I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

I've never watched a Super Bowl half-time show (or the game) but people were posting about it so I just turned my TV on in time to catch the last five seconds as Big Bunny was leaving.
And just before clicking post I remembered he's Bad Bunny, but I'm leaving it in because it makes me sound 90.

Have you ever been tempted to yell "BULLSHIT!" at complete strangers? I heard in passing today, "In North America sports have always been apolitical," and I think I broke a rib keeping my response to a mere whisper.

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:
In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

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

Asimov's actions, and the tolerance-up-to-celebration of it, absolutely drove women out of field and out of fandom, and made it easier for others in the field, writers, editors and fans, to follow his lead for decades. Asimov pinching asses was not about his work. It kept women and their work out.

Folks outside SF/F don't know that Asimov was a sexual harasser because while he was alive fandom thought it was cute (up to and including Asimov being invited to give a lecture on "The Power of Positive Posterior Pinching" at Worldcon, which he, wisely, declined).

This press conference with Toronto Police Service and York Regional Police is making my eyes hurt and ears bleed.
After an investigation that started in June 2025, they are literally using the "a few bad apples" defense. No. Not bad apples, not a bad barrel, it's the soil. It's police culture. 1/
