Back on Twitter (even before it became Xitter) there were a bunch of weird and annoying things that came across my feed from people I followed (either they posted or they retweeted.)
These days, thanks to solid blocklists, my main issue with my feed is that too many of you are Eagles fans.

Left anti YIMBYism starts from the assumption that middle class people do not have moral standing to make policy demands of urban governments and do not have the right to engage in political action to improve their material circumstances.

People want to believe that the GOP’s electoral success in red states is the result of dirty tricks and gerrymandering instead of the sincerely held beliefs of a majority of the population because a mechanical issue is easier to fix than wrestling with how to make people not believe what they do.

guys I hate to burst the blowjob bubble but the "blowing Bubba" thing in the Epstein e-mails is very likely to be them making prison rape jokes. Trump is going to prison, therefore Trump is going to have to blow Bubba - the mythical rapey fellow inmate of gross prison jokes by U.S. men.

I have many (many) issues with bluesky moderation but “why does bluesky not suspend the official accounts of this extremely online administration that loves to abuse its power to prosecute people it doesn’t like” - even when they very obviously break the rules - has an equally obvious answer

This is not true. Republicans win in the South because a majority of voters choose them, not because of "voter suppression." They win ~90% of white voters in much of the South and there are more white voters than Black voters because there are more white people than Black people
I understand why a lot of white liberals are like, fuck the south, because they think about the people in power who are mostly white conservatives. But that is only because of Jim Crow, voter suppression, a lack of real funding for Dems there

44) It's Okay If Your Heroes Aren't Heroic
When you read Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles, one of the main points is that the protagonist Taran ISN'T the hero he wants to be. It takes years to get to the point where he accomplishes heroic deeds. When he does, the cost almost breaks him.
