You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

And those 916 people would be against replicators because those would also be "bad" for the economy (as in their riches wouldn't be special).
Until we have replicators, we will need wealth redistribution.

Mamdani's opponent, too, was not actually a Republican (there was one but minor), but a Democrat who had held elected office and all sorts of mainstream Democrats had spent the race basically saying Mamdani was a dangerous Muslim commie pro-terrorist, including HRC at the eve of the election.

"What’s the point of standards?" could be the slogan of the entire MAGA movement and Trump era.
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

Instead of folding like cheap chairs, Democrats should have forced the GOP to end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. Holding onto the archaic, antidemocratic tradition doesn't help them stop fascism, it makes them complicit to it.

Instead of caving on the shutdown, Democrats should have waited for the GOP to cave on Trump’s demand to scotch this antidemocratic tactic.

When Hasbro experimented with 4th Edition (which was less bad and more too radical a change for most of the community), the OGL let Pathfinder eat its lunch.
So what if Musk eats Hasbro? Role-playing is beyond his ability to control. Saurons like him will never understand what magic really is.

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

What was the damn point of the shutdown? People missed paychecks, families went without SNAP, and Democrats walked away with nothing.
This isn’t about moderates versus the far left. It’s about who’s actually fighting for people who are struggling.
