you can frame the European-American differences in a lot of ways but 'Europeans are poorer than Americans but also more secure' is probably the fairest one. American life is richer in many, many ways, and also far more dependent on your job *and your family* than European life.

Interviewer: “What do you say to trans kids who are starting their transition?”
Zohran Mamdani: "We're gonna make this a city that doesn't just protect trans kids, but also celebrates and cherishes them."

I don't know what to call it, but there is a very common and annoying social media phenomenon where people demand validation for mildly antisocial behaviour, instead of just feeling mildly guilty about it like a normal person.
These are pretty naked -- and therefore instructive -- examples of the sorts of defenses that people offer to try and get off the hook

The idea that a creative person would also be a person with whom we agree on every particular or they must be exiled to the borderland is a recent, quasi-religious ideal actually

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

It's 2025, nearly 2026, the era of "make up odious accusation about person you disagree with for unrelated reasons" doesn't work anymore and it's time to stop. In fact it never really worked, it just pissed off people who hadn't been enemies at all (while you're stranded by actual enemies).
No, I do not “pick on” trans people, I have never done anything like this. And frankly, I think the willingness of some people to completely invent accusations of transphobia in the desperate search for a cudgel against ideological opponents suggests they don’t really care about transphobia
Listen dude, you can try and ride for this guy all you want, but the trans userbase of this platform fucking hates him because he picks on them. I'm going to listen to the trans people I know who are telling me he's bad. Plus I've been in these threads and seen it

Feel like “last loko party” is a very specific millennial micor-generational memory. One of my friends was in a fraternity where they climbed onto the roof and started grabbing bits of roof tile and throwing them into the street at one of these events.
One of my dirtbag roommates worked for an alcohol lobby group, and when Four Loko got banned, they redirected an entire pallet to our driveway. The resulting party got us evicted. Devil juice, terrible stuff.
My freshman year of college was the last of the Loko years and they sent us all an email saying effectively “Do NOT drink this, it is TOO crazy, it will make your parties TOO wild.” which had about exact the effect you would expect.

Comey and James cases dismissed. Because Lindsey Halligan.
No legitimate prosecutor would manufacture charges against Trump’s political enemies, and one willing to failed.
Authoritarian abuses don’t work without capable personnel. Or much deeper corruption of the courts, which they don’t have.

NEWS: The criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James are gone. A federal judge ruled that the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as the lead prosecutor was illegal.
DOJ could try again, but there are other headwinds.

Remember, if you're about to share something that confirms your biases, take a few seconds to check it's actually true
Ok I checked and no, Andrew Tate hasn't posted that it's gay for straight men to have a girlfriend.
If you haven't seen the post about this that's doing the rounds, then this is not something you need to know about. Carry on.

This will be a battle because there’s a lot of well meaning anthropologist types who really do believe it‘s racist to say that eg: traditional chinese medicine is mostly bullshit, but it’s a fight well worth having.

I honestly don't want this site to become "Kiwifarms but leftistly" where we find a new lolcow to gawk at and/or quote-dunk on. You cannot build a society on finding others to look down on.
bsky feels more and more like old Twitter in that every other day I see a dumb left wing account I’ve never heard of getting aired out. It’s not really a positive thing, IMHO…
Apropos of nothing, somebody who purposely goes by the handle “Anti-Zionist Bear Jew” with a pfp of Eli Roth in Inglorious Basterds is telling us something bad about what their idea of justice is

And somewhere between this game and BG3 the industry realized that you can actually make *more* money by marketing to the ladies and the theydies/gentlethems as well rather than exclusively to the dudebros. It's a good thing.
Middle-Earth: Shadow of War was kind of the last grasp of the boy-centric Triple A gaming, where every game needed at least one sexy lady to act as Designated Love Interest/eye candy, and for this game they picked Shelob turning into a 70s pulp evil witch for this.
