My dad first signed up for Twitter to follow live sports and he’s a freak about U of I. One day he said to me “Twitter is abuzz about Illini golf,” and I was like dude you only follow Illini sports accounts. And that’s how every reporter feels Charlie Kirk was the most important person in the world.

Holy crap, NYT let Charles Munger Jr. write an op-ed opposing the California redistricting without disclosing that he's FUNDING the opposition to the California redistricting. I have 4 mailers he paid for in my house right now and that's just the beginning.

Why is getting caught for breaking the rule the thing that feels like a violation fo the social contract and not breaking the law, is a real question I have on a conceptual level
As one of these 48,000, yes I was over the speed limit and I probably deserved the ticket but getting caught speeding by a robot still feels like a violation of the social contract somehow. wjla.com/news/local/m...

This is a clear, true, & important distinction that many people refuse to make.
The same is true of "fancy city dwellers condescending to hard workin' ruralites."
The same is true of "wokesters forcing you to use pronouns."
These are RW bogie men. RW hysteria exceeds actual examples 1000/1.

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.
I have two sons, and I don't think I've ever seen messaging going "Don't be a boy" or "YOU'RE BAD."
Sure looks like that's in "I heard someone say that they heard..." territory, rather than actual direct experience.
Also worth noting, the main message from manosphere influencers is "YOU'RE BAD."

There's some remarkable "I'm not mad" vocal work being done here, but I think it's high time Secretary Hegseth sits in front of Congress and explains why he has one really long sideburn and one normal-sized one. America demands answers.
As former Trump Pentagon senior officials describe “total chaos” on his watch, Hegseth hilariously blames the media (again)
