How can you call the New York times the least compromised of the news corporations?

Seriously. Like they were on the forefront of fucking trans people over in public opinion. They justify every nasty little war or other shit and minimize the opposition. And like, they've been doing that forever

Will stancil must never be allowed to have any authority, imagined or otherwise over the legitimacy of any metaphor, clearly he can't be trusted with a decent analysis of anything

I think your analysis is flawed and has fallen prey to “virtue signaling” shit that republicans have used to discredit every social movement under the sun.

You could also say “I try to be a feminist” because you’re open to being corrected, which is where most of those sorts of guys fail
Feminism has become an unsignalable virtue for men because predatory men declare themselves feminists and then abuse that signal.

I'm not sure there is a great solution to labels that profess equality but get associated with supremacy OR what Baptiste describes below:

Like when my sister tells male friends that she's a feminist their first reaction is surprise, remarking that it's weird because she is so *reasonable*. The right's campaign against feminism worked so well that it's now associated with radical misandry even for relatively left-leaning people.

I don’t trust Apple or google to do age verification and I don’t trust them to let independent browsers through either

Fuck off, this is clearly just a way to keep kids from talking about being gay or trans once they classify those things as pornographic

Age verification would have killed me

We need nukes yesterday and Trudeau's lack of taking this seriously makes me genuinely suspicious he didn't take a deal to stay in power on his trip down south

why is Yglesias on the list of people who aren't throwing minorities overboard?
The inability to distinguish between contrarians who are NOT interested in throwing minorities overboard (Noah Smith, Matt Yglesias, Josh Barro, etc...) and those who are (Bari Weiss, various opinion column mediocrities) is going to be a problem for coordinating resistance to Trumpism.

And here I thought that Tim Walz was only getting a good reception because Josh Shapiro is distasteful and may have covered up a murder.

You know, on top of Josh being "Phoney Baloney" as he puts it

There should be no attempt to launder the reputation of the New York Times nor legitimize it as a paper of record. It is a rag, and the people who write for it contribute to it.

It's annoying how this shit just turns into grift.

It very much feels like its always the season to destroy trans women's social lives for the tiniest crumbs of advantage.
