Bless you Jezebel, but no, men cannot. This is like claiming to have drawn the Mona Lisa with a tommy gun on fully automatic.
The skier, who’s competing for Team Great Britain, wrote “fuck ice” in urine—using the wand that God gave him—and posted it to Instagram.

This is basically correct. I've made Bluesky functional for me by ruthlessly blocking (and being blocked) by everyone outside a comparatively small portion of the site, but it's still a cultural monocrop compared to the network of interesting people I left behind on Twitter.
BlueSky is fundamentally a low information network full of people who are not well connected to what is happening, do not have insider tips, are largely not capable of basic reasoning, do not value the truth over their immediate feelings, and habitually confabulate rather than admit they don't know.
The person trying to argue 50% of Americans are below the poverty line doing so while also failing to accurately perform basic math is basically bluesky.txt

This is the website where you receive legally actionable death threats for providing basic geopolitical context on how oil markets work and what makes an oil field valuable or not, without any particular political spin beyond "this thing everyone on the site agrees is evil is also stupid".

"I will never understand — but you will eventually tell me — how it is it came to be so wrong later on" is some antihero interrogating the villain level shit. That's going in my quote file.

A very fascinating relationship study found that in a great many marriages, there is a spouse who plays a leadership role and a spouse who plays a support role, and that divorce is often caused by a change in those roles.
I think it makes people uncomfortable, but there's something to that.

I think this is very cool without being an outcome that can be generalized to homeless people in general. Homeless youth are far more likely to be able to turn their life around with an injection of resources than other homeless people.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

While it's still early, I think "valorously setting a dumpster fire" has a strong chance of joining "that’s the wrong question and it valorizes white institutions and white ways of knowing and being and structuring society in really problematic ways" in the Poasting canon.

IMHO to understand Caesar's career, you have to force yourself to imagine a democratic society so fucked up that the rise of a king is actually a good thing.
where my homies out re-litigating caesar's assassination

Another factor here that should not be overlooked is the degree to which normies *despise* public disorder.
So in addition to all of Gyges' cogent points, truly wise protesters would be asking themselves whether the tactical value of lighting a dumpster on fire was worth the strategic cost.

your job is not to start a fucking fire in front of the media and then try to start a fight with other activists who are trying to stop you. that's insane

I agree that people don't pay very close attention to what they spend on food, but I disagree that it's a small share of overall spending.
It's only a small share if you're disciplined about buying bulk foods from the grocery store and if you're not feeding kids.

The reason people believe things like "eating out is cheaper than cooking" is because most people don't pay very close attention to what they spend on food, which is a pretty small overall share of spending. It's also why it's improbable US politics hinge on a 2-4% annual rise in grocery prices.

what do you make of the theory i’ve seen in various places that nonviolence really only works when it has a violent wing to back it up? “how to blow up a pipeline” argues that many successful nonviolent movements had such an arrangement
