I wish it were not true but the story of the past few years is that the "hysterics" were right more often than the "calm down" pundits

for sociopaths and narcissists, politics is when you pretend to care about other people. rejecting politics is when you embrace your hateful, reactionary human nature.
in retrospect, one of the funniest headlines of all time

German AfD politicians met with militant neo-Nazis at a secret event in Switzerland in December. A German investigative reporter infilitrated the event and got photos of the attendees, which included violent neo-Nazi groups Junge Tat and Blood & Honour.

Just like the “male loneliness epidemic” the imbalance in men going to college is entirely their own doing. A whole generation has decided to make themselves uneducated and unfuckable because they’re addicted to resentment. Manosphere influencers line their pockets by ensuring they stay that way.
i hate to be a monocausal guy but i really think this discussion of masculinity, trade school, the gendering of education etc is beating around the bush. male democrats have seen no sizable drop in their desire to attend college. female republicans have. it’s about politics.

Really is remarkable how great Gerwig’s Little Women is. Make enough structural changes to erase it being yet another adaptation, feels so fresh and exciting. Immaculate set dec, score and costuming. Only gains in my estimation each rewatch & I thought it was an immediate classic
Chris Cooper in Little Women has to have the record for least amount of minutes to most amount of me tearing up ratio in any movie ever. Should’ve won the Nobel peace prize

An article which tries to hide pant-wetting excitement about Farage behind a supposed analysis of why “other people” might support him, so ends up being both abject and dishonest
Here Turner describes Tim Montgomerie as "thoughtful and moral" - and then goes on to quote him saying he joined Reform to fight the "Islamification of Britain".
