it's very simple
1) china won, and they don't want to take the L and buy from them
2) green energy was easier to support when it didn't threaten oil

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

seeing a lot of of "technically it's ephebophilia" so i remind you that sexology is a pseudoscience akin to evopsych or phrenology. the "science" of "male chronophilias" from which this distinction is derived, is total nonsense. it's a pseudoscientific medicalized naturalization of *SOCIAL* violence

everyone keeps dancing around it but JD Vance keeps trotting out the “immigrants are taking our housing“ because it’s a nativist blood libel he’s engineering alongside eg “they eat our pets” but, more specifically, it is to legitimize the dispossession, en masse, of an entire sub-population.

It's truly baffling that this guy invented a system that treats written English as an entirely different language from spoken English and needs to be translated word by word by "looking for clues" and for decades everyone just went with that as a good idea for some reason

What about discussions of Western patriarchy, then? Well, white women aren't that oppressed and are reactionary feminists and benefit from patriarchy, which is principally a tool of colonialism and corrupting non-Western cultures but not worth discussing as an issue or a concern itself.

This experience of trying to discuss patriarchy outside the West and immediately being talked over by women going "WELL IT'S BAD IN THE WEST TOO" is so frustrating and ubiquitous. We're starting to notice and demand answers as to why we can't discuss our experiences without false equivalencies.

Wild how every single member of the political and business elite went into full drooling fascism the second the prospect of consequences for abhorrent behavior started to seem possible
My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

the man has admitted to sexually assaulting people and was legally proven by a court of law to be sexually assaulting people (a notoriously hard thing to do) but I’m sure this new evidence that he was sexually assaulting people will really wake up the base. It’ll be our lucky sexual assault evidence

I think any attempt to define modern ttrpg 'cultures of play' is a failure if it doesn't classify "5e/critrole fandom" as its own thing largely disconnected from other ttrpg (or analogue game) play-cultures, and instead largely drawing from fandom and fanfic subcultures.

Interesting how the line is, now that we have legalized sports gambling across the board there's no putting that genie back in the bottle versus sure we can end the hemp industry with one line in an unrelated bill.
The shutdown deal includes a ban on hemp products that none of its negotiators debated in public.
Disappointing that only 24 senators voted against killing an amendment to strike that ban.

I'm at this point entirely convinced that the purpose of "mens mental health" is to deny women, non binary and queer people of recognition that we have minds and can suffer. I've never once seen "women's mental health" sessions be offered in a workplace.

At some point we have to confront that we're not trying to educate an ignorant population about the struggles of queer life and epistemic injustice.
They KNOW, and they want to keep it that way, if not make it worse. We are an affront to their pathetic, rotten societies.

So even as tech oligarchs make social media and information access unreliable and radioactive, conservatives will still rail against the left-wing propaganda saturating The Online because to them, every queer person who exists is a failure. Every queer person who comes out and thrives is a failure.
