i think i may have found a problem in their analogy to real life

You should hold friends and loved ones to higher, not lower, standards than strangers.

If you would boycott a chef over a behavior you absolutely should not tolerate that behavior from your bestie, and saying “they need support” is just enabling. Good support is consequences for shitty behavior.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

◼️ing ⭕️ needs:

A. Libs not real Americans and/or

B. Works for gop bc hatred rallies gop but not dems

think Klein et al believe B but

1. ignore press role in making asymmetry

2. Can’t admit B affirms deplorables comment as true, & ‘scandal’ was saying it out loud-a bad mindset for our press!

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

When someone uses this emoji 🤣 they are more mad than they have ever been in their entire life

Checking out the new Fallow Kin post protest

Warrens speech in Boston leaned very heavily into the patriotic themes of protest vs kings, very easy to message and silly admin has tried to pick this fight all week

Micah @rincewind.run · 2d

this is why I think the admin spending all week yelling about a “hate America” rally was stupid

anyone who tunes in gets to see funny signs, joyful crowds and shit like “an enormous constitution being carried to the White House”

this is a crowd that loves America and wants it to be better

Acceptable but when you destroy the habitat of an invasive species it inevitably moves elsewhere, so I expect a remediation plan for roving bands of displaced cartoonishly rich manhattanites

The biggest lesson of smartphones was:

Actually people hate talking out loud and will avoid it if you give them any reasonable alternative

yet every dystopic billionaire product since google glass has ignored this very simple lesson to their failure

Free People has been a great new source of prep pieces for the wardrobe but i think they may wish to be careful about how they abbreviate themselves in email

Honestly heartwarming that 5 years after his cancelation Caillou still inspires murderous rage in all of us

No that’s…monophony(?)? Monogamy is when you have a market with only one buyer

Rikibeth @rikibeth.bsky.social · 5d

No, that’s mahogany. Monogamy is how music was recorded before they invented stereo.

MonsterKing @cerromerussell.blacksky.app · 5d

Monogamy is that wood they make expensive furniture out of

Six years older but if the vapid generational change argument didn’t work for a Kennedy don’t see how it’s going to work for Moulton

lol stogie bear reaching new heights in mansplaining by literally using your words to talk down to you

Troy @troysch1.bsky.social · 6d

Reddit is taking this one better, but lol at someone saying they need a tl;dr to an article titled "vote yes", as well as the confusion between "could we have done a better job over the last 5 years" and "should we or should we not vote on the product of that 5 years of work"

same person who became a main character on here for praising Charlie Kirk before copping to fact this was based on entirely imagined person and not any of the actual things he did that people confronted her over?

Semi-related, in retrospect wild that it’s half a genre name when the series was only very briefly Metroidvanias and (imo) not nearly as successfully even if I love them

Troy @troysch1.bsky.social · 10d

I do like the (incorrect) that they’re specifically trying to reach the *marginalized* sissy community as opposed to like Big Sissy. “We’re not like those other…”
