I imagine that there's a lot that Walt Disney refuses to acknowledge, given that he's been dead for like 60 years.

Given how Penn already sold out and erased Lia Thomas's existence at the behest of the regime, I think we can place them in the "die" camp.

Dude's clearly distracted thinking about all of those women out there working outside of the home.

Keisean Nixon was out there daring them to call him for PI every play, and still couldn't stop Chase from scoring. Like, sure, Nixon is a kick returner who should never be covering your WR1, but it still shows how good Chase is to brush off all of that contact.

I didn't know about Thiel's obsession with Watchmen, but it makes sense; he strikes me as the kind of guy who would unironically see Rorschach as a kind of aspirational hero.

Think about how gross the average aftermath of a six year old eating is and then look me in the eye and say that elementary school lunch workers/custodians, who are cleaning up after dozens if not hundreds of kids, don't deserve to be some of the highest paid people in our society. Fucking heroes.

A positive change that will last right up until the next time they receive mild criticism for using a slur.

Even if it's not their position, it is the logical consequence of their policy. They didn't want to admit what they're actually doing, because they know that apart from a few (but not free enough, sadly) rabidly racist ghouls, people would rightly call that monstrous.

He's not so much "unstoppable" as "surrounded by sycophants and opportunists who have no interest in stopping him." Any opposition with some actual power and some bite and he falls over crying about how the Dems are obstructing him; hell, he does that now even when they aren't.

I wouldn't say "utterly unprepared" so much as "vehemently disinterested." A whole group of people desperate to have their biases confirmed, who no doubt have "the fact I was taken in by this obvious fake just proves how big of a problem the faked thing is!" already loaded as an excuse.

Well, to be fair, the product is also repulsive, so there is some synergy in that regard

Gotta wait to see if he ever met a trans person before we can decide if his actions were politically motivated.

While I'm on a sportsball kick, I really enjoyed Arsenal's win over Newcastle. "Same old ______, always cheating" is such a stupid, small-club-mentality chant, and every fan base who uses it deserves to have their hearts ripped out with late game losses like what happened to the Toons today.

Very excited for tonight's game between America's Team, Ideal Version (Green Bay, small town team owned by its community) and America's Team, Actual Version (Dallas, a Texas team owned by an incompetent senile billionaire and run by said senile billionaire alongside his sycophants and failsons).

I'm going to withhold judgment on possible motive until I learn if he ever interacted with a trans person.

(For legal reasons, this is a joke, though I suspect there's a nonzero number of folks who operate like that at this point)
