I've decided I'm staying put where I am, which hopefully means I'll be housed sooner. I'm also hoping I'll be housed before any measurable snow happens and/or before it gets too cold, but we'll see.
If y'all want to help me get housed faster, feel free to drop me some coin.

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

I’ll go further and say if you think any victim of terrorism “deserves it,” you’re the problem. We are not god. It is not our place to mete out death in justice.
If you're gonna say the Chabad rabbi deserved it because he was "grooming kids for the IDF" you are not just an antisemitic bigot, but an extremely ignorant one at that.
Learn the first thing about the subjects of your bigotry before opening your mouth so you don't embarrass yourself like that!

Fundamentalist Christians don't stone people or pour acid on them or cut hands and feet off. They don't lash people with whips. They also tend to preach that men and women have different roles, not that one sex is inherently inferior. Also Jesus wasn't a pedophile.

Holy fuck.
A red flag for this study is that it is a single-blind study.
This means that while parents of infants will not be informed if their baby is not protected against HepB, the researchers *will* know.
And that knowledge results in bias, which is why double-blind trials are the gold standard. 5/7

oppressed classes throughout history from women to slaves to the colonized have been analogized to children as a paternalist rationale for their subjugation
the oppression of children runs so deep in our society that one of the primary ways that we disempower people is by assigning them child-adjacent status as adults. license to abuse flows from that

This is all true. And the biggest danger Vance poses is that he is a walking skinsuit for the tech bros. Peter Thiel created his career. Elon Musk is one of his biggest boosters. If Vance is sitting in the Oval, the technofascists will wield an amount of power that will dwarf anything we've seen.
When Trump dies-- could be at any point, who knows -- we get Vance.
They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier Christofascism.
We must be preparing for this now & organizing accordingly.
