I guess "modern American masculinity is a neotenous emotional state where the culture permits, and even cultivates, juvenile developmental qualities into adulthood" is just a fancy way of saying "everyone is twelve now"
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino "also revered Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein's 1959 military sci-fi classic about an interstellar war between humans and alien bugs - a book his sister says he still reads to this day."
An endless amount of deranged details in this interview with Greg Bovino's sister, but most notably that his uncle produced the Jack Nicholson movie The Border and the depiction of the agent as corrupt radicalized him as a 12-yr-old.
"Since then, he was like, 'Dude, I want to do Border Patrol.'"

again I note how it’s fundamentally impossible to imagine the media going out of their way to pre-exonerate Hillary Clinton like this
Kate Bolduan: "The president has not been accused of any crimes or wrongdoing as it relates to Jeffrey Epstein or these files even with these emails being released. That's one thing we need to make clear. There's no accusations of any wrongdoing so far."

Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

The cruelty is the point.
Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

We now have TWO rockets that can successfully land the booster stage and reuse it. And New Glenn is WAY bigger than Falcon 9. Maybe China will get the third spot?
More rockets = more better.

I've been trying to find the polite way to say "hey absolutely we should be alarmed about the targeting of trans people but we also should also talk about how cis and trans PoC are the targets in mind bc the people who think trans women aren't women also think WoC in general aren't women"
Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.
They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.
