There's an impressive number of people on here who clearly miss Twitter dearly and dislike how this site works in respect to user-composable moderation. It must suck to not have your words considered valuable because you didn't spend 18 hours a day spamming follow-back trains.

I know it does not matter but the new Cracker Barrel logo did in fact suck and it's too bad we don't live in a time where we could have talked about that without sounding crazy

I'm not going to vote for anyone who campaigns on reducing trans rights. That includes Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. This is a threat and a promise.

I have never regretted defending trans women. I have especially never regretted choosing their side when it's so clear that everyone wants to punch down at them.

i don't have anything against bouie or want him to quit or anything, but it's depressing to see how much solidarity people have for a relatively well-off cis guy versus the trans people dealing with the state's attempts to kill them

"it's important to have good voices at the transphobia factory, in fact he's the only reason I kept my subscription!" like look. I don't expect Bouie to quit his job to placate the masses but do people saying this not realize they're exactly the reason the NYT keeps him around

thinking about how seriously people take what's happening now seems to decline as the ability to affect it increases and why so many people are being so annoying right now pointing out what's happening because they can see no one who matters gives a shit and they need to make it heard SOMEWHERE

I am so tired of people who spend 18 hours a day on social media just making blithe claims about what "normies" believe. I do not think most of these people have been outside since 2013.

1) it's inappropriate to tell someone to quit their job based on your perception of its moral effect;
2) if you begin to make moral claims about how you make your money you should not be surprised when people are skeptical of them

Look, either Biden is allowed to directly address the Trump problem based on the SCOTUS decision, or the SCOTUS decision is corrupt and he needs to modify the court. These cannot both be problems beyond his power to address.

I guess you could say I "want a pony" in the sense that a pony is less likely to directly fund an ongoing genocidal campaign with my money.

one sorta last thing - i watched people blow the whistle on a bad actor months ago and get told that while what they did was bad, it would be personally harmful for community leaders to sanction the bad actor because then they'd look like a bigot (even though the accusations were true).

1) it is self-evidently a bad idea to have a discord where all you do is talk shit about people
2) for the record if you are party to people talking shit about me behind my back, do not fucking tell me under any circumstances

I have no strong opinions about the Stonehenge thing but I do think it's funny to watch all the people who joke about Online Posters who won't "firebomb a Walmart" suddenly becoming the people who talk about how we should all be firebombing Walmarts
