This is such a well-argued and thorough rebuttal to the reflexive assumption that only liberals and feminists have agency in the discourse about masculinity.
I especially like the point of how trying to pander to childish misogyny will only backfire.

Swiping Left on MAGA
The thing about a ‘no girls allowed’ treehouse is it doesn’t have any girls in it.

The New Orleans attacker and Las Vegas bomber weren't working together, as initially feared.
But the two acts have so much in common. Both were lost men who, because of toxic masculinity, got radicalized into believing far-right violence was ennobling.

Whether MAGA or ISIS, online misogyny fuels terrorism
Bitter men of all stripes are targeted by influencers telling them to double down on toxic masculinity

Holy sh*t! The U.S. Senate is considering putting forth BIPARTISAN legislation to apply TERM LIMITS on Supreme Court justices.
RT if you ABSOLUTELY support term limits for the Supreme Court!! 💙

(2/9) According to a July 2024 survey, 68% of Americans support term limits for Supreme Court justices. This includes:
90% of Democrats
59% of independents
48% of Republicans
Yes, term limits have bipartisan backing. A rare moment of unity, folks. 🙌

This is an older post, but I still feel it's necessary to respond to it, because Elon's position hasn't changed. Margaret Mead once said a broken femur was the first sign of civilization. She was referring to an archeological site where the skeleton of an early Homo Sapiens man was found 1/9

Today I am thinking about American journalist Marie Colvin and French photojournalist Rémi Ochlik who risked their lives to tell the truth about the Assad regime.
They were assassinated in Syria just for shining a light on peoples suffering during the civil war.
Let us remember.

Carl Sagan is probably doing backflips in his grave now.
If anything, this quote has proven to be way too optimistic.

I remember reading this when the book came out and thinking "Nah, way too pessimistic".
Now the incoming US Health Secretary doesn't think HIV causes AIDS.

They can all fuck off. If you don't want to pay overtime, then don't have employees work overtime. It's really simple. If you can't sustain your business while paying fair wages, then maybe you shouldn't be in business.

Color those of us who’ve been following RFK Jr. for two decades surprised.🙄
This is news? Nope, it would be news if RFK Jr. actually brought science-based physicians and scientists on board, rather than his antivax crank allies and hangers-on. This is entirely expected. Public health is doomed.
