Holden is like Bullock in Deadwood, the problem isn't the actor it's that the writers didn't give them nearly as much to work with compared with their peers

as this goes on while i grow older, i am very much feeling like a creature of another time. obviously things have always been more or less this way my entire life but as the last vestiges of truth, shared obligations, a loose moral framework get sheared away, i feel increasingly out of place

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some
There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

Mamdani never actually said that, but never let a convenient lie prevent you from ignoring an inconvenient truth

Idiotic post that reads:

I mean, if Mamdani can say "Globalize the intifada" and we can turn the
other way after he apologies, you can do the same for a Nazi tattoo

Driving a luxury car, or really any car that's worth more than say 4 to 5 times the base required property liability car insurance policy is kind of abusive. Some delivery driver shouldn't get financially destroyed just because they accidentally sideswiped your ridiculous fucking Bentley or whatever

Received my ACA insurance rate notice for next year, a +15.8% out-of-pocket increase. Guessing that's probably near the best case scenario due mostly to the fact that I'm in California and didn't have any subsidy to lose. A lot of Americans are going to be priced out of healthcare entirely.

A resignation on true principle would have happened before the first boat was blown up. This feels more like positioning for future cooperative witness status at The Hague after allowing things to go way too far.

Listen, when Young Republican Neo Nazis talk about loving Hitler and gassing people that's a free speech issue, completely different from when Asna Tabbasum absolutely could not be allowed to write, much less give, her valedictorian speech out of fear that she might have called a genocide a genocide

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Whenever this dumb cliché comes up it helps ask for clarification. For instance, does it apply to John Brown too? Should we condemn John Brown because he was literally tried and condemned to death according to the standards of his time? Or does this weird moral relativism only work in one direction?

The juxtaposition and absurdity of these arguments alongside an active years-long campaign to ban Black scholarship because it “belittles” conservatism, or makes white children feel bad, is half the point.
