Everytime a white leftist bemoans the way our side talks about the South, I know for a fact they've never spoken to white southerners when they think they're not in mixed company.

A lot of the white voters in deep red states really are horrible shit heads, not poor little lost lambs, and it does no one any favors to fail to reckon with this

When I struggle, the lyrics to "as good a reason" help me:
"Every time you are succeeding
There's an old man somewhere seething
And spite's as good a reason to take his power"
"Every time you are succeeding
There's an old man somewhere seething
And spite's as good a reason to take his power"
They want you despairing, suicidal, and quiescent. They want you to be convinced of their ultimate victory, and they want you to tell all your friends about it on social media, where everyone can see. They eat this shit up.

The overwhelming majority of "critiques" for things associated with queerness & feminism are just "it's cringe." "Girlbosses are annoying," "blue hair & pronouns are twee," "poly ppl are ugly," "feminists don't get fucked enough," etc
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

No one was actually going to procure a woodchipper and leave a trail of relevance crumbs to lure Megyn Kelly into it but if someone says “Lego makes their green bricks with andrenochrome” there could be a mass shooting at Legoland

Another revelation from all of these emails is that many of the richest and most powerful people in the country absolutely cannot write. Helps explain their sweaty embrace of LLMs.

I'm finally watching the 2020 show Soulmates and it's clear that we will never get a second season, which is a shame because I really want a follow up where this company gets sued for pretending to be able to match strangers

If I hadn't already stopped going to Target, this would have done it
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
