Sorry, I wish I could remember where I saw this so I could attribute it (? Rebecca Solnit???)
In mainstream discourse, it's become standard to blame the excesses of the right on liberals, the left, feminists, Black Lives Matter, affirmative action, environmental protection, and BIPOC and LGBTQ people. It's a way that the right is granted masculine prerogatives and the left feminine responsibilities for the right's behavior. It's also routine to blame the Democratic Party for what the Republican Party does. The two parties are unconsciously regarded as akin to a husband and wife in a traditional marriage in which it's the job of the wife to placate and soothe the husband and help him realize his goals or be held responsible for his outbursts and outrages. And in the same way the diverse population left of center is supposed to make nice to the right or be responsible for when the right goes wrong. These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet." Behind these stories is the assumption that some people matter more than other people, and that we who matter less have to pander to those who matter more - conservatives when they are imagined as straight, as white, as male, as rural, as salt of the earth, as the real Americans, unlike us ethnic/ immigrant/ urban/ non-male/ non-straight people.

From SHORTPACK.COM A cartoon demonstrating what the female gaze actually is: I'M TIRED OF YOU GRIPING THAT CHICKS IN COMIC BOOKS ARE SEXUALLY OBJECTIFIED! THE DUDES ARE, TOO! THEY'RE BIG, IMPOSSIBLY-MUSCLED HULKS FIRST OF ALL, GOOGLE "FALSE EQUIVALENCE." BEING A BIG, IMPOSSIBLY MUSCLED HULK IS A MALE POWER FANTASY. IT HAS JACK TO DO WITH WHAT A FEMALE SUCH AS MYSELF FINDS ATTRACTIVE. HERE, LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I MEAN. IF I'M GONNA GET THE HOTS FOR BATMAN, HE HAS TO BE BUILT FOR DEXTERITY, NOT POWER. LET'S MAKE HIM MORE LEAN. AND, YOU KNOW WHAT? SEEING HIS EYES IS IMPORTANT. THEY SHOULD BE LARGE AND INTENSE. LET'S THROW IN SOME ROSY CHEEKS AND kISSABLE LIPS. TH-THAT ART MAKES ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE. WELCOME TO THE BACKGROUND RADIATION OF MY LIFE.

Classic tweet from Claire Willett: honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion

A thread of historical excuses used to condemn women by doctors: avoidingapples: 14th century doctors be like "i don't know what's wrong with you but you're a woman so i diagnose you with witchcraft" avoidingapples: 19th century doctors be like "i don't know what's wrong with you but you're a woman so i diagnose you with hysteria avoidingapples: 21st century doctors be like "i don't know what's wrong with you but you're a woman so i don't believe anything is wrong with you and won't diagnose you tempest-caller: That's not entirely fair. Sometimes they also diagnose you as "fat."

There’s a lot of that about…
A barren field as far as the eye can see. Red soil, blue sky, no clouds. Writing it says: BEHOLD! THE FIELD IN WHICH I GROW MY FUCKS. LAY THINE EYES UPON IT AND THOU SHALT SEE THAT IT IS BARREN.

Musk wants to go to Mars
It estimated that he needs $10 trillion to do it
He’s trying to find it in the treasury, so he can say “see I saved this much, can I have it?”
Book by Jonathan Tain that explains what these billionaires are up to

This book was great in explaining what we have lost in flavor… having said that it’s crying for a few herbs
“The Dorito effect” by Mark Schatzker, explains how much flavor we have lost in foods and how much more we add now than in the past

With alt-text
I come back to historian Tim Snyder's statement in On Tyranny: *To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. On the right, the abandonment of facts is almost total - stolen elections, climate change as hoax, vaccine mandates-so that those most desperately crying for "freedom" are living in a parallel universe of "alternative facts." Trump and the promoters of Anon are pulling in millions of dollars in donations for this fantasy war for freedom. This in turn fattens the wallets of people like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk (along with their shareholders, like Thiel and Andreessen), who profit from the hate. And if their political project succeeds, then their commercial interests, dependent on government funding-space exploration, autonomous weapons systems, and transhumanist research and develop-ment—will benefit as well.
